Terms of use

xPrufy - Terms of Use
Version 16.0 — Last Updated: July 6, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using xPrufy ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

You must be at least 18 years old to use this App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.

2. Description of Service

xPrufy is a capture and chain-of-custody tool with cryptographic integrity aids: photos, videos, and audio recordings can be sealed with hashes and metadata signatures (including RSA), GPS metadata, optional RFC 3161 timestamps when you are online and those materials are obtained, and optional Bitcoin blockchain timestamping via OpenTimestamps for evidence fingerprints (status on each record shows pending vs confirmed). It is not a substitute for independent professional review where your situation requires it. You can browse and select records in All Files; each record includes a reliability score summarizing which checks were recorded.

By default, new installations use "Standard" signing: an RSA key pair is created on the device for signing record metadata. Optional modes include "Professional" (adds a device identity certificate in metadata) and "Device-Bound" on Android (private signing identity in Keystore / hardware security features when available). You may export or restore the RSA signing identity when the selected mode allows it; Device-Bound identities are not exportable by design.

The App currently provides core functionality without mandatory paid tiers. If paid features, subscriptions, or one-time purchases are introduced in future versions, those offers will be clearly labeled in-app before purchase.

The App provides tools for evidence integrity verification. It does NOT provide legal advice, guarantee any outcome in a dispute or proceeding, or ensure compliance with local recording laws.

3. Acceptable Use

You may use this App ONLY for lawful purposes, including:

• Lawful evidence collection by authorized professionals

• Documentation for investigations, incident records, and formal reports

• Workplace safety documentation and compliance

• Insurance claims and professional investigations

• Personal documentation with appropriate consent

• Accident and incident documentation

• Property inspections and assessments

4. Prohibited Uses

You may NOT use this App to:

• Record individuals without consent where prohibited by law

• Violate federal, state, or local wiretapping statutes

• Engage in illegal surveillance, stalking, or harassment

• Record in prohibited locations (for example voting booths or medical facilities)

• Violate privacy rights or reasonable expectations of privacy

• Tamper with, alter, or fabricate evidence records

• Violate any applicable recording consent laws in your jurisdiction

• Infringe on intellectual property or confidential information

• Record minors without parental consent where required

• Use the App in any manner that violates local, state, federal, or international law

5. Recording Consent Laws

Recording consent laws vary by jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions require all parties to consent to recording (two-party consent), while others require only one party to consent (one-party consent).

YOU are solely responsible for:

• Understanding and complying with recording laws in your jurisdiction

• Obtaining required consents before recording

• Providing notice when required by law

• Ensuring your use of the App is lawful

We provide NO legal advice regarding recording consent laws. Consult a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction if you have questions.

6. User Responsibilities

You agree that YOU are responsible for:

• All content you capture, create, or store using the App

• Maintaining the security of your device and screen lock

• Choosing an appropriate evidence-signing mode and understanding that changing mode creates a new signing identity for future captures

• Backup and preservation of evidence data, Recovery Keys, and any RSA signing-identity backups — the App provides tools such as Settings → Back Up Files (writes an EvidenceBackup_….zip that includes media, metadata, and your HMAC Recovery Key; not password-protected by the App), Export with Proof (from All Files or a record's detail ⋮ menu), Advanced exports, and RSA signing-identity exports (when your mode allows it); the HMAC Recovery Key is included only inside full EvidenceBackup ZIPs from Back Up Files, not as a separate export; you must use them appropriately and protect any files you save or send

• Optional features such as strict capture mode and exports — including ensuring each use is lawful where you are

• Compliance with chain-of-custody or documentation procedures in your jurisdiction

• Appropriate use of exported records in your own workflow

• Any legal consequences arising from your recordings or use of the App

• Maintaining control of exported evidence packages, audit-trail JSON (active evidence and recycle bin only — not a history of items permanently removed from the bin), and backups

7. No Legal Advice

THIS APP DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE.

Nothing in the App, these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or support communications constitutes legal advice. The App provides technical tools only.

Consult a qualified attorney regarding:

• How evidence should be handled in your case

• Recording consent requirements in your jurisdiction

• Proper chain-of-custody procedures

• Data retention and privacy obligations

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement

• Warranties that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure

• Warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of content

• Warranties about how exported records will be treated by third parties

• Warranties regarding blockchain confirmation times or timestamp availability

NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY US OR OUR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:

• Evidence being rejected or disputed by third parties

• Technical failures during evidence capture or storage

• Loss of evidence data due to device failure, loss, or theft

• Blockchain network delays or failures

• Timestamp authority unavailability

• GPS inaccuracies or location service failures

• Legal consequences arising from improper use of the App

• Privacy violations or illegal recording by users

• Data breaches resulting from lost or stolen devices

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP (IF ANY) IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the App developers, publishers, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from:

• Your use or misuse of the App

• Your violation of these Terms

• Your violation of any laws, including recording consent laws

• Your violation of any third-party rights, including privacy or intellectual property

• Any content you capture, create, or share using the App

• Unauthorized recording or surveillance

11. Data and Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Key points:

• Evidence files and metadata are stored locally on your device by default

• There is no vendor cloud account — you control exports and backups

• For timestamping, only cryptographic hashes are sent to third-party time services (see the Privacy Policy for hostnames); media and GPS are not sent to those services for anchoring

• We do not access, view, or host your evidence data on our servers

• If you export, share, or back up data, you choose what leaves the device — for example Back Up Files (ZIP), Export with Proof (All Files or record detail menu), plain-file share, or Advanced exports; standard backups and plain shares are not encrypted by the App unless you use separate tools; optional RSA signing material may be inside a full EvidenceBackup ZIP (readable like the Recovery Key inside that archive) or in a separate Advanced RSA export (plaintext JSON)

See Settings → Privacy Policy in the app for full details.

12. Intellectual Property

The App and all content, features, and functionality are owned by us and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not:

• Copy, modify, or reverse-engineer the App

• Remove or alter proprietary notices

• Use the App to develop competing products

You retain all rights to evidence content you create.

13. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for:

• Violation of these Terms

• Illegal use of the App

• Activities that harm other users or third parties

You may terminate your use at any time by uninstalling the App. Upon termination, all data remains on your device until you delete it.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will:

• Increment the in-app Terms version number (see the first-run summary and this screen)

• Require re-acceptance on next App launch

• Be effective upon your acceptance

Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of new Terms. Check the version number and date at the top periodically.

14A. Future Paid Features (if introduced)

If future versions include paid features, subscriptions, or one-time purchases, additional billing terms will apply and will be shown before purchase. Those terms may include pricing, billing cadence, renewal/cancellation rules, refund handling under applicable store policies, and taxes where required. Any such changes will be reflected in these Terms and, where required, presented for re-acceptance.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where the App developer is located, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or use of the App shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that location.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms remain in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
