Terms of service

This agreement

By downloading, installing or using Photo Cleanup (“the app”), you agree to this End User Licence Agreement (“this agreement”) between you and Lucija Tatarević (“the publisher”). If you do not agree, do not install or use the app.

Questions about any of it: cistern_scooter.8r@icloud.com.

Licence

The app is licensed to you, not sold. You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on Apple devices that you own or control, in accordance with Apple’s App Store Terms of Service.

What you may not do

• Rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the app
• Copy or modify the app, or create works derived from it
• Reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction
• Remove or obscure any proprietary notices

Deleting your photos

The app helps you find photos and videos worth deleting. You decide what goes. Nothing is deleted without you first reviewing a queue of what you marked, confirming it in the app, and then confirming again in the separate dialog that iOS itself presents. The app requests the deletion; Apple’s Photos framework performs it.

Deletion is real. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted in the Photos app and remain recoverable there for up to 30 days, after which they are gone permanently. The app cannot recover them for you, and neither can the publisher.

You are responsible for the deletions you confirm, and for keeping backups of anything you care about. The app’s suggestions — that photos look like duplicates, that a shot looks blurry, that a video is large — are automated judgements about image data, not statements about what matters to you. They can be wrong, and reviewing them is your job.

Sorting photos into albums and marking photos as favourites likewise change your photo library, and are performed only when you ask for them.

Free use and the one-time unlock

The app is free to install and use. Reviewing, browsing, scanning and sorting are not limited. There is a limit on how many photo deletions you can commit before a one-time purchase is required; that limit is stated in the app.

The purchase is a one-time, non-consumable unlock — not a subscription. It does not renew and is not billed again. It is processed by Apple through the App Store, and it is tied to your Apple Account, so you can restore it on your other devices. The publisher receives no payment details.

Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies. The publisher cannot issue or deny them.

Your data

The app collects nothing about you and sends nothing anywhere. What it stores, it stores on your device. This is described in full in the privacy policy, which forms part of this agreement.

Availability, maintenance and support

The publisher is solely responsible for the app and for any maintenance and support for it, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.

The app is developed by one person and is offered as-is on a best-effort basis. There is no guarantee of updates, of continued availability in the App Store, or of compatibility with future versions of iOS.

Warranty

The app is provided without any guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its automated suggestions will be accurate.

Nothing in this agreement limits your statutory warranty rights as a consumer under applicable law. If you are a consumer in the EU, those rights apply in full regardless of anything stated here.

Liability

The publisher is liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).

For slight negligence, the publisher is liable only where an obligation essential to the purpose of this agreement has been breached, and in that case only for damage that was foreseeable and typical for this kind of agreement.

Any further liability is excluded. This limitation also applies in favour of the publisher personally.

Apple

You acknowledge that this agreement is between you and the publisher, and not with Apple; that Apple is not responsible for the app or its content; that in the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, Apple may refund the purchase price and otherwise has no obligation whatsoever; and that Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory non-compliance, and intellectual property claims.

You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement and have the right to enforce it against you.

Termination

This agreement applies until terminated. Your rights under it end automatically if you breach it. You can end it at any time by deleting the app from your devices. Deleting your photos, Warranty, Liability and Apple survive termination.

Changes to this agreement

This agreement may be updated. The current version is published on this page. The version shown inside the app is the version that shipped with the copy of the app you installed. Continued use after an update reaches you constitutes acceptance of it.

Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence.

Severability

If any provision of this agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
