Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 17th, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using swiftlit.app (the "Site") or the Swiftlit mobile application (the "App"), collectively the "Services," you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.


2. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any legal action or proceeding between Swiftlit Study LLC and you for any purpose concerning these Terms shall be brought exclusively in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Michigan.


3. Intellectual Property

The Services and their original content, features, and functionality—including but not limited to the "Swiftlit" name, logo, bird illustrations, source code, and text—are owned by Swiftlit Study LLC and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.


4. Scope of License and Use

  • License Grant: Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Swiftlit Study LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to download, install, and use the App and Site strictly for your personal, non-commercial use on a device that you own or control.

  • Restrictions: You may not copy, reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the Services, any updates, or any part thereof.

  • Your Content: You retain all rights to the notes, flashcards, and study materials you create or import into the Services.

  • Data Loss Warning: Data created in the "Set Creator" is stored in your browser's cache. Data created in the App is stored locally on your device. We do not keep cloud backups of your specific study data. If you clear your browser cache, delete the App, or lose your device, your data may be lost. You are solely responsible for exporting and backing up your data.

5. Subscriptions and Refunds

  • Pro Features: Certain features of the App may require a paid subscription ("Pro").
  • Billing: Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID or Google Play account. You must manage or cancel subscriptions directly through your device settings (Apple or Google). Swiftlit Study LLC cannot cancel subscriptions on your behalf.
  • Refunds: Refund requests must be directed to Apple or Google, as they handle the transaction processing and we do not have the ability to issue refunds on their platforms.


6. Feature-Specific Disclaimers & Safety

  1. A. "Roast Mode" Notifications: The App includes an optional feature known as "Roast Mode." By enabling this feature, you acknowledge and accept that the notifications sent by the App will be satirical, sarcastic, sassy, and potentially harsh in tone. These messages are intended solely for motivational and entertainment purposes. You agree that Swiftlit Study LLC is not liable for any emotional distress or personal offense arising from the nature of these notifications.
  2. B. Coffee Tools & Hot Water Warning: Current or future versions of the App may include timers, guides, or tools regarding the brewing of coffee and tea. You acknowledge that brewing coffee inherently involves the use of boiling water, heating elements, and hot equipment. You agree to exercise extreme caution when handling hot liquids. Swiftlit Study LLC is not responsible for any physical injury, burns, scalding, or property damage resulting from your preparation of beverages while using the App.
  3. C. Content Disclaimer: The "About" section and other areas of these Services may contain content reflecting the personal, philosophical, and religious views of the creators (including Christian theological texts, "Gospel tracts," or literature). By accessing these Services, you acknowledge that this content is protected under free speech and freedom of religion, you are viewing this content voluntarily, and Swiftlit Study LLC assumes no liability for any personal offense, emotional, or psychological distress taken regarding this content.

7. Ephemeral & Edwin's Shield (App Blocking)

The App includes features designed to intentionally block access to other applications and websites on your device to improve focus and redeem time. To bypass these blocks, you must complete a time-consuming literature typing test. By using these features, you acknowledge and agree that:


You may be temporarily unable to access certain apps or websites, including communication or social apps, during an active block. Swiftlit Study LLC is not liable for any missed communications, emergencies, lost productivity, financial losses, or any other consequences resulting from your inability to access blocked apps.


If you utilize a trusted third party to set a device-level Screen Time Passcode (as suggested by the App for added friction), Swiftlit Study LLC cannot recover, reset, or bypass this passcode for you. You assume all risks and consequences associated with locking your own device.


IMPORTANT: While an Ephemeral lock is actively engaged, you will be intentionally prevented from uninstalling the Swiftlit application or bypassing the restrictions easily. This is by design to ensure the efficacy of the tool. You assume full responsibility for any locks you initiate. Within iOS, removing "Screen Time" permissions for Swiftlit in the Settings app will disable the locks. Android will require you to remove all locks within the App before being able to access the device settings to take permissions away or uninstall Swiftlit.


8. Disclaimer of Warranties

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND SWIFTLIT STUDY LLC HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND OF NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY SWIFTLIT STUDY LLC OR ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.


9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SWIFTLIT STUDY LLC, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA (INCLUDING BROWSER CACHE CLEARING OR APP DELETION), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, PHYSICAL INJURIES SUSTAINED WHILE USING COFFEE-RELATED FEATURES, INABILITY TO ACCESS BLOCKED APPLICATIONS DURING AN EPHEMERAL LOCK, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF SWIFTLIT STUDY LLC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SWIFTLIT STUDY LLC'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES (OTHER THAN AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN CASES INVOLVING PERSONAL INJURY) EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FIFTEEN DOLLARS ($15.00). THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.


10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Swiftlit Study LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that such parties may incur as a result of or arising from your (or anyone using your account/device's) violation of these Terms.
