Holdfast — Terms of Service

Last updated: 18 August 2026

Holdfast Blocker (“Holdfast”) is operated by THRYVE HOLDINGS PTY LTD (“we”, “us”, “our”). By installing or using Holdfast, or by subscribing to Holdfast Pro, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use Holdfast.

1. The service

Holdfast is a browser extension that helps you block distracting websites and adds a deliberate “Cooldown” before any block can be lifted. The free plan works fully on your own device without an account. Holdfast is a self-discipline tool provided to assist you — it is not a guarantee of any particular behaviour, outcome, or result.

2. Accounts

• You can use the free plan without an account. An account is only needed for Holdfast Pro.
• You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for activity under your account.
• You must be at least 18, or have the consent of a parent or guardian, to create an account or subscribe.
• Provide accurate information, and let us know at support@holdfastblocker.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. Holdfast Pro — subscription & billing

• Price. Holdfast Pro is US$7.99 per month. Applicable taxes may be added at checkout.
• Recurring billing. Your subscription renews automatically each month and you authorise us (through our payment processor) to charge your payment method for each renewal until you cancel.
• Payment processor. Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card details — Stripe handles them under its own terms and security.
• Cancellation. You can cancel at any time (see section 4). Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not retroactively refund a period already started, except as set out in our Refund & Cancellation Policy or as required by law.
• Price changes. We may change the price with reasonable notice. Any change applies to future billing periods, never to a period you have already paid for.

4. Cancellation & refunds

Cancel any time from the Account page (or from the extension’s Settings → Account). Your Pro access continues until the end of the period you have paid for, and you will not be charged again. Refunds are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law (see section 8).

5. Acceptable use

• Use Holdfast only for lawful, personal purposes.
• Do not attempt to resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the service without our written permission.
• Do not attempt to circumvent, disable, or tamper with the extension in order to defeat blocks for other people, or to interfere with the account or team-enforcement systems.
• Do not misuse the service in a way that harms Holdfast, its infrastructure, or other users.

6. Your data

In individual use, your blocklist, settings, and history stay on your own device. If you use Holdfast Pro and sign in, limited data (such as your email, subscription status, and — if you enable it — your synced blocklist and settings) is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Your browsing and the reasons you type are never uploaded.

7. Availability & changes to the service

We work to keep Holdfast available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may add, change, or discontinue features over time. If we discontinue a paid feature you rely on, you may cancel; see the Refund & Cancellation Policy for how that is handled.

8. Consumer guarantees & disclaimers

Holdfast is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties and do not warrant that Holdfast will meet every requirement or prevent every distraction.

Australian Consumer Law. Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty, or other term or condition, implied or imposed by law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where we are permitted to limit our liability, we do so under section 9.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, and subject to the consumer guarantees above, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, or for lost profits, data, or opportunities, arising from your use of Holdfast. Where liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us for Holdfast Pro in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that state. (If Holdfast’s registered office is in another Australian state or territory, that state or territory’s laws apply instead.)

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date above, and material changes will be noted on this site or in the extension’s store listing. Continuing to use Holdfast after a change means you accept the updated terms.
