Terms Governing Delete App Return
Deleting an application does not terminate access to the feed it was delivering.
Article 1: Definitions
"Delete App Return" refers to the sequence of events in which a short video application is removed from a mobile device for the stated purpose of reducing screen time, followed by access to the same feed through an alternate route, including but not limited to: the mobile browser, a secondary device, a household member's device, or reinstallation of the original application.
"The Feed" means the continuous sequence of short video content presented by the application or its browser equivalent. The Feed is not interrupted by the deletion of the application.
Article 2: The Deletion
The deletion is genuine. No bad faith is alleged. Someone deletes a short video app for focus and returns through a browser or another app carrying the same feed. The deletion reduces convenience. It does not reduce access.
Article 3: The Return
Delete app return extends the break by one clip. The feed removes clear boundaries between the next clips. The break becomes a session requiring a separate act of will.
Each clip is easy to leave while the feed removes a natural stopping point. This is the structural condition these terms address. The deletion was an attempt to create a stopping point. The stopping point did not persist because the feed is accessible through an interface the deletion did not remove.
Article 4: The Second Deletion
A second deletion may occur. The interval between deletion and return typically shortens on the second cycle. The browser shortcut, once created, provides access at approximately the same convenience level as the original application. The reduction in convenience achieved by deletion has been eliminated.
Article 5: Governing Rule
Under the governing rule, delete app return becomes procedure once repetition feels safer than reconsidering it. Repetition has occurred if the sequence has been completed twice. The procedure is established.
Article 6: Termination
These terms remain in effect until the user finds a stopping point they can maintain. No timeline is given.
