Terms of service

Last updated 29 October 2026

The short version. You choose a daily social media limit and pay a monthly stake. Your limit covers every device you use. Send us your screenshots once a week. If your weekly average stays under your limit all month, we refund your stake minus a £5 fee. If you go over, or miss a screenshot, we keep the stake.

1. Who we are

Nuverdi is a commitment service run from London, United Kingdom. You can contact us at [email protected]. In these terms, "we" and "us" means Nuverdi, and "you" means the person using the service.

2. Who can use Nuverdi

You must be 18 or over and live in the UK. By signing up you confirm that this is true. We may ask for proof and close accounts that don't meet these rules, refunding any stake you've paid.

3. Your plan and stake

You choose one plan. Your stake is taken by card at the start of each monthly plan period and renews each month until you cancel.

  • 30 minutes a day: £20 stake a month
  • 59 minutes a day: £30 stake a month
  • 2 hours a day: £40 stake a month

Your limit applies to social media apps, as shown in the social category of your devices' built-in screen time settings. It covers your total time across every device you use social media on, including your phone, tablet (such as an iPad) and computer.

4. Screenshots

Weeks run Monday to Sunday. After each week ends, you have 48 hours to upload screenshots of your weekly screen time showing your daily average for social media. Screenshots must be from your own devices, unedited, and clearly show the dates and average.

You must send a screenshot from each device you used for social media that week (up to 4), and enter your total daily average across all of them. On Apple devices, you can instead turn on "Share Across Devices" in Screen Time and send one iPhone screenshot that includes all your Apple devices. On a computer with no screen time report, tell us when you upload and we'll explain what we accept.

A person checks each screenshot. If a screenshot is unclear, we may ask you for another one within 24 hours.

5. Passing and failing

You pass a month if every weekly screenshot in that plan period shows a daily average at or under your limit.

You fail a month if any weekly average is over your limit, if you miss the 48-hour upload window, if a screenshot has been edited or isn't yours, or if you used a device for social media that you didn't include.

A plan period that ends partway through a week includes that week if most of its days fall inside the period.

6. Refunds and the £5 fee

If you pass, we refund your stake minus a £5 service fee to the card you paid with, within 7 days of the plan period ending. Your bank may take a further 5 to 10 working days to show it. If you fail, we keep the full stake. The £5 fee covers running the service and is not refunded when you pass.

7. Cancelling

You can cancel at any time by emailing [email protected]. Your plan then won't renew. The plan period you're in continues and is checked as normal.

Under UK consumer law you have 14 days from your first payment to cancel. If you cancel in that time and haven't uploaded a screenshot yet, we'll refund your full stake. By starting your plan, you ask us to begin the service straight away, and you accept that once a week has been checked, that plan period counts as started and is settled under section 6.

8. Honesty

Nuverdi only works if you're honest with yourself. If we find clear evidence that you used a device you didn't include, or sent an edited or borrowed screenshot, that plan month counts as failed and we keep the stake. We may also close your account. We can't see every device you own, so in the end it comes down to you. If you cheat, you only cheat yourself.

9. What Nuverdi is not

Nuverdi is a commitment service. It is not a bet, a game of chance, a savings product or an investment. Your outcome depends only on your own behaviour. Nuverdi is not medical or mental health support. If you're struggling, please speak to your GP or contact Mind on 0300 123 3393.

10. Our responsibility to you

We'll provide the service with reasonable care and skill. We aren't responsible for losses caused by things outside our control, such as your phone reporting screen time wrongly. Nothing in these terms limits your legal rights as a consumer.

11. Changes

We may update these terms. We'll email you about important changes at least 14 days before they apply. Changes never affect a plan period that has already started.

12. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you have a problem, please email us first and we'll try to sort it out.
