Terms of Use
Last updated: October 5, 2026
In these terms, "ScreenWarden", "we" and "us" mean the publisher of ScreenWarden for Roku, reachable at help@screenwarden.app. These terms apply to your use of ScreenWarden for Roku (the "app") and the website screenwarden.app (the "site"). By installing or using the app, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
1. What the app does
ScreenWarden for Roku runs on a Windows PC and uses Roku's local network control interface to monitor and control Roku devices on your home network, for example to enforce bedtimes, daily app limits and schedules.
2. Your responsibilities
- You must be an adult, or have a parent or guardian's permission, to install and run the app.
- Use the app only with Roku devices you own or are authorised to manage, and on networks you are authorised to use.
- Keep your PC on, awake and connected to the same network as your Roku devices if you want rules and schedules to run.
- Keep any password and backup code safe. If you lose both, you may be locked out of the app, and we cannot recover them for you.
- Comply with applicable laws, including any rules about monitoring other people's use of devices.
3. Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the app on Windows PCs that you own or control, under the Microsoft Store's terms for the app. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, sell or redistribute the app, except where the law gives you that right regardless of this restriction.
4. No guarantee of enforcement
The app depends on your PC, your network, your Roku devices and Roku's software. Any of these can fail, change or be switched off. We do not guarantee that a limit, bedtime, wake-up routine or schedule will run at the right time, or at all. In particular:
- Do not rely on the wake-up routine as your only alarm. Keep a backup alarm.
- The app is not tamper-proof. Someone with access to your PC, your router or the Roku devices themselves may be able to bypass or stop it.
- Roku can change its software or its local control interface at any time, which may stop features working.
- Roku streaming sticks and boxes cannot be powered off remotely, so bedtime on those devices returns them to the home screen instead.
ScreenWarden is a convenience tool. It is not a substitute for parental supervision, and it does not filter or block content.
5. Not affiliated with Roku or Microsoft
ScreenWarden is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Roku, Inc. or Microsoft. Roku is a trademark of Roku, Inc. Windows and Microsoft Store are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies. All other names and marks belong to their owners.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
The app and the site are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, reliability, availability and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, ScreenWarden and its owners are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, missed alarms, missed or failed enforcement, or device behaviour, arising from your use of or inability to use the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid for it, or zero if you paid nothing. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy describes how information is handled.
9. Changes and termination
We may update the app, the site or these terms from time to time. We will change the date above when we do. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the new terms. You can stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and, where federal law does not apply, the laws of the U.S. state in which ScreenWarden is based, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to these terms or the app will be brought in the courts located in the United States.
