Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before downloading, installing, or using Photo Vault (the “App”). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”) and Serhii Gavryliuk (“we,” “us,” or “our”), the individual developer and owner of the App.
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
Photo Vault is a mobile application for iOS designed to help users privately store, organize, and protect photos and videos on their device.
Depending on the version of the App and your subscription, the App may provide features including:
Private storage for photos and videos;
Password, PIN, or other access protection;
Private albums for organizing stored content;
Importing and exporting photos and videos;
Options to help protect access to private content;
App customization features, where available;
Backup or synchronization features, where available;
Other privacy and organization features introduced from time to time.
The App may allow you to import, store, organize, and manage photos, videos, and other content (“User Content”).
You retain ownership of your User Content. We do not claim ownership of photos, videos, or other content that you store using the App.
You are solely responsible for the User Content you import, store, access, or otherwise manage through the App. You must have all rights, permissions, and consents necessary to use such content.
You acknowledge that the security and availability of your User Content may depend on your device, operating system, backups, storage configuration, and any third-party services used by the App.
We do not guarantee that User Content will never be lost, corrupted, deleted, or become inaccessible. You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of important content.
For information about how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
The App may provide password, PIN, biometric authentication, app-lock, or other security features intended to help protect access to your private content.
These features are provided as security and privacy tools, but no security system can guarantee absolute protection.
You are responsible for:
Choosing a sufficiently secure password or PIN;
Keeping your password or PIN confidential;
Protecting access to your device;
Enabling available security features where appropriate;
Maintaining backups of important User Content.
We are not responsible for unauthorized access resulting from your failure to properly secure your device, account, password, PIN, or other authentication method.
If you lose or forget your password, PIN, or other authentication credentials, recovery options may be limited or unavailable depending on the App's functionality.
You may use the App only if you are capable of forming a binding legal contract under applicable law. The App is not directed at children.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use the App. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you must be at least 16 years of age.
By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirement and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.
The App may offer subscription and purchase options. Prices, billing periods, available plans, and trial periods are displayed in the App and/or through Apple's In-App Purchase system before purchase.
Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, all payments are processed through Apple's In-App Purchase system.
Any subscription features and pricing may vary by country, region, currency, promotional offer, and App version.
The Annual plan (with trial) includes a 3-day free trial. The trial begins immediately upon subscription. If you do not cancel before the trial period ends, your payment method will be charged the full annual price on the last day of the trial.
Free trials are available only to new subscribers who have not previously used a trial for this App. We reserve the right to determine trial eligibility at our discretion.
Weekly, Monthly, and Annual subscription plans automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain access to premium features until that date. We do not issue refunds for partial billing periods.
We reserve the right to change subscription prices. If we change the price of your subscription plan, we will notify you in advance through the App or via your registered Apple ID. Your continued use of the App after the price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new price. If you do not agree to the new price, you must cancel your subscription before it renews.
All purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple in accordance with Apple’s refund policy, available at https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223. We do not have the ability to issue refunds directly.
The App may display advertisements served by Google AdMob. By using the App, you acknowledge that:
Advertisements may be shown to users on free or non-premium tiers of the App;
Ad content is determined by Google and third-party advertisers, not by us;
Google's collection and use of data in connection with ad serving is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service;
You may be able to reduce or remove ads by subscribing to a premium plan, where such option is available.
We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any advertisements displayed through the App.
