BlockTheCalls for iOS — End User License Agreement
Beta notice. The BlockTheCalls service is live for invited beta testers. We are not charging yet: the iOS app never sells anything and has no in-app purchase, and website billing (Stripe) is not enabled. Counsel is reviewing these documents and we will update them; the current text is the live contract for beta use.
Effective: August 10, 2026
In plain English. This is the licence for the BlockTheCalls iPhone app. You get to use the app, you don’t own it, and you can’t copy or resell it. Your agreement is with us — DCJP, LLC — not with Apple. Apple doesn’t support the app and isn’t responsible for it, but Apple can enforce this agreement against you. The app does not do 911.
This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is between you and DCJP, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company doing business as BlockTheCalls.com (“DCJP,” “BlockTheCalls,” “we,” “us,” “our”), and governs your use of the BlockTheCalls application for iPhone / iOS (the “Licensed Application”). The Licensed Application is iPhone-only; it is not offered for iPad. Apple signs the application with DCJP, LLC’s Apple Developer Team ID; the d/b/a is a trade name, not a signing identity.
The Licensed Application is one way to use the BlockTheCalls service. Your use of the service itself is governed by our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Recording & Consent Notice, and Data Retention & Deletion Policy, each incorporated here by reference. If this EULA conflicts with the Terms of Service as to the Licensed Application, this EULA controls for the Licensed Application only.
1. Acknowledgment — this agreement is with us, not Apple
This EULA is concluded between you and DCJP, LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). DCJP, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Licensed Application and its content. This EULA may not provide for usage rules for the Licensed Application that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions; DCJP acknowledges it had the opportunity to review those terms.
2. Scope of licence
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use the Licensed Application:
- on any Apple-branded product that you own or control;
- as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, including as those rules apply to Family Sharing and volume purchasing; and
- for your own personal, non-commercial use, consistent with the Terms of Service.
You may not: copy the Licensed Application except as permitted by this licence; reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble it except to the extent that restriction is prohibited by applicable law; rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense it; remove any proprietary notice; or use it to build a competing product.
The Licensed Application is licensed, not sold, to you. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
3. What the app does — and does not do
- The Licensed Application screens inbound calls that you forward to BlockTheCalls, shows you screening results and voicemail, and lets you manage your account and blocked/allowed numbers.
- The Licensed Application does not provide, route, carry, or support 911 or any other emergency calling, and places no outbound calls. All emergency and outbound calling continues through your own phone’s dialer and your own carrier. Do not rely on the Licensed Application for emergency communications.
- Screening is automated and imperfect: it may block a call you wanted or pass one you did not. See Terms of Service Sections 7 and 10.
4. Permissions the app asks for
The Licensed Application requests only the permissions it needs, and explains each at the point it asks:
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Required to talk when a screened call is connected to you, and to record your voicemail greeting if you choose to. The in-app connected call (InCallView) is not recorded. Screening audio is handled before you are on the call. |
| Notifications | Optional, but needed for voicemail, missed-call, and protection alerts. We request this after you sign in, not on the login screen. |
| Contacts | Optional. The app works without Contacts. We only request access if you choose Import from the phone’s address book, or Save a person you added in the app to the phone. If you allow it, that name and number are stored on your BlockTheCalls account (Apple’s privacy label treats that as linked). Denying Contacts does not block login, screening, history, or voicemail. |
| Local Network | Optional. Used so calls can connect on this Wi-Fi. We do not scan other devices or use this for tracking. Denying it leaves the rest of the app working; call audio may fail. |
We do not request your call history, your location, your photos, or other data on your device beyond the permissions above.
Screened incoming calls and service alerts use standard iOS calling and notification experiences. These capabilities do not give us access to anything else on your device.
You can change or withdraw any permission at any time in iOS Settings. Withdrawing the microphone permission will prevent you from taking calls through the app. Denying Contacts or Local Network does not prevent you from using the rest of the service.
5. Maintenance and support
DCJP is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the Licensed Application, as specified in this EULA or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the Licensed Application.
Support: [email protected].
6. Warranty
The Licensed Application is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law — see Terms of Service Section 10.
In the event of any failure of the Licensed Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the Licensed Application to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Licensed Application. As between DCJP and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are DCJP’s sole responsibility.
7. Product claims
DCJP, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Licensed Application or your possession and use of it, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the Licensed Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the Licensed Application’s use of the HealthKit and HomeKit frameworks (which the Licensed Application does not use).
8. Intellectual property rights
In the event of any third-party claim that the Licensed Application or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, DCJP, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
9. Legal compliance
You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You also agree to comply with all applicable law in your use of the Licensed Application, including recording-consent, wiretap, telemarketing, and privacy law — see Recording & Consent Notice Section 6.
10. Developer name and address
DCJP, LLC 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States [email protected]
Questions, complaints, or claims about the Licensed Application should be directed to the address above.
11. Third-party terms
You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the Licensed Application — for example, your wireless data service agreement, whose terms apply to your use of the Licensed Application over a mobile network.
12. Third-party beneficiary
Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA, and upon your acceptance of it, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this EULA against you as a third-party beneficiary.
13. Privacy
Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, the Recording & Consent Notice, and the Data Retention & Deletion Policy. Our App Store privacy-label disclosures reflect the same practices.
14. Term and termination
This EULA is effective until terminated by you or by us. Your rights end automatically if you fail to comply with any of its terms. On termination you must stop all use of the Licensed Application and delete all copies. Sections 6 through 12, and 15 through 16, survive.
15. Governing law
This EULA is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and is subject to the dispute-resolution, arbitration, and class-action waiver provisions in Terms of Service Section 15 — including your right to opt out of arbitration within 30 days.
16. Entire agreement
This EULA, together with the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Recording & Consent Notice, and Data Retention & Deletion Policy, is the entire agreement between you and DCJP regarding the Licensed Application. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
