Terms of Use for Picture PR

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Picture PR application for iPhone and Mac (the "Service" or the "App"), provided by ApApps ("we," "our," or "us"). By installing, opening, or using Picture PR, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by the Picture PR Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not install or use the Service. Your continued use of the Service after any update to these Terms means you accept the updated version.

2. What Picture PR Is

Picture PR is a local, privacy-first photo-cleanup app for iPhone and Mac. It finds duplicates, bursts, look-alikes, and blurry shots in your photo library, recommends the best shot to keep in each group, and helps you remove the extras. All analysis runs on your device. The Service has no cloud component, no user accounts, and no server we operate.

Picture PR is a personal utility offered "as is." We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We do not promise that any specific feature will exist, continue to exist, or behave the same way over time.

3. License Grant

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Service on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. This license terminates automatically if you violate these Terms.

You may not:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits
• Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices in the Service
• Use the Service to violate any law, regulation, or third-party right
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its intended operation
• Use the Service to evade security measures or platform policies of iOS, macOS, or the App Store

4. Your Responsibility for Your Photos

Picture PR is a cleanup tool. The photos in your library are yours, and they remain your responsibility before, during, and after you use the App. In particular:

• You review every change. Picture PR recommends which shot to keep and which extras to remove, but it never removes anything on its own. You review each group and approve removals before they happen. You are responsible for confirming those decisions
• Removals are recoverable, not permanent deletions. When you remove photos, the App moves them to Recently Deleted (on iPhone) or the Trash (on Mac), where they remain recoverable for approximately 30 days. Picture PR never hard-deletes your photos. After that window passes — or if you empty Recently Deleted or the Trash yourself — your operating system removes them permanently, and that is outside the App's control
• Keep independent backups. Picture PR is not a backup product. You are responsible for maintaining independent backups (iCloud Photos, Time Machine, an external drive, or a backup of your choice) of any photos you cannot afford to lose, regardless of whether you use Picture PR
• Detection is a recommendation, not a guarantee. The App's duplicate, look-alike, burst, and blur detection and its best-shot recommendations are best-effort suggestions. They may not always be correct. You are responsible for verifying the groups and choices before you approve any removal
• iCloud originals. If you enable the optional setting to download full-resolution iCloud originals for a scan, that action uses Apple's iCloud Photos service. This setting is off by default, and enabling it is your choice

5. No Accounts or Payments

Picture PR is free. It has no user accounts to create, no sign-in, and no in-app purchases or subscriptions. We do not collect, store, or process any payment information, because there is nothing to pay for. If the App is ever offered through the App Store's normal distribution, your download is governed by the App Store's terms.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, marks, and content (other than your photos), is the property of ApApps and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of the Service to you. The license granted in Section 3 is the only right you receive in the Service.

Your photos remain yours. Picture PR does not claim any ownership of, license to, or interest in the photos in your library.

7. Privacy

The Picture PR Privacy Policy describes how the Service handles information. Picture PR is designed to keep your photos on your device: all analysis runs on-device, and it has no cloud component, no user accounts, and contacts no server we operate. Please read the Privacy Policy to understand the details.

8. Third-Party Platforms

Your use of the Service is also subject to the terms and policies of the platform it runs on, including Apple's App Store Terms of Service and Licensed Application End User License Agreement (for the iPhone and Mac apps).

If anything in these Terms conflicts with a non-waivable provision of those platform terms, the platform terms control as to that conflict.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING:

• Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement
• Warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
• Warranties that defects will be corrected, or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components
• Warranties that the App's duplicate, look-alike, burst, or blur detection, or its best-shot recommendations, will be accurate or complete

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to you only to the extent permitted by law.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APAPPS, ITS DEVELOPER, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Loss of profits, revenue, data, photos, goodwill, or other intangible losses
• Damages resulting from your use of, or inability to use, the Service
• Damages resulting from photos you remove, including photos that are permanently deleted after the recovery window passes or after you empty Recently Deleted or the Trash
• Damages resulting from any change to, suspension of, or discontinuation of the Service

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (WHICH, BECAUSE PICTURE PR IS FREE, IS ORDINARILY ZERO), OR (B) FIVE U.S. DOLLARS ($5.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ApApps, its developer, officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:

• Your use of the Service
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any law or third-party right, including any intellectual property right or right of privacy

12. Modifications to the Service

We may add, modify, or remove features of the Service at any time, and we may release new versions, deprecate older ones, or stop supporting the Service entirely. We will use reasonable efforts to communicate material changes through the App Store or in-app notices, but we are not obligated to maintain backward compatibility indefinitely.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling it from your devices. Uninstalling removes all local settings, analysis, and working data stored by the App. Your photos are not affected — they remain in your Photo Library.

We may suspend or terminate your right to use the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. Sections that by their nature survive termination — including Sections 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 16 — will continue to apply.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of California, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose law gives you a non-waivable right to sue in your home jurisdiction, or to apply your home jurisdiction's consumer protection laws, those rights are not affected by this section.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do:

• We will post the updated Terms at https://apapps.co/policies/picturepr-tos.html
• We will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top
• For material changes, we may also surface a notice in the App and re-prompt for acceptance on next launch

If you do not agree to the updated Terms, your remedy is to stop using the Service and uninstall it.

16. General

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreement.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the rest of the Terms will remain in effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.

No Agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
