These terms are between you and NG Hive (Natalia Gurevich), the developer of H.Collage ("the app"). By downloading or using the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.
You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service. You may not sell, rent, sublicense, decompile or reverse-engineer the app, except where the law says you may regardless of this clause.
The app is free to use for 14 days from the first time you open it. After that, making new collages requires a one-time purchase of $2.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency). It is not a subscription: there is nothing to renew and nothing to cancel.
The purchase is processed by Apple. Billing questions and refunds are handled by Apple under its own terms, not by us. Restoring a purchase on another device uses the same Apple ID.
Your photos and the collages you make are yours. We claim no rights over them and never receive them. You are responsible for having the right to use the photos you put into a collage.
The app includes an optional private section, opened with a numeric code you set, holding a web browser and access to file servers you configure yourself.
What it is and is not. The private section is a privacy convenience. It is designed to keep casual viewers — someone who picks up your unlocked phone — from stumbling into what is inside. It is not a guarantee of secrecy, and it is not designed to withstand forensic examination of a device that has been seized, unlocked or compromised. Do not rely on it as your only protection where the consequences of disclosure are serious.
The code cannot be recovered. Its contents are encrypted with a key derived from your code, which is never stored anywhere. If you forget the code, the contents are permanently unreadable — by you, by us, by anyone.
You choose what it connects to. Servers and websites reached from the private section are third parties. We do not operate them, see the traffic, or take responsibility for their content, security or availability.
You are responsible for using the app lawfully where you are. Do not use it to infringe others' rights or to store or access material that is illegal for you to possess.
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will preserve your data. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of the app is limited to the amount you paid for it. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including lost data, lost profits, or any consequence of disclosure of information stored in or accessed through the app.
We may update these terms; the current version always lives at this address with its date. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept it. Your licence ends if you stop complying with these terms; you may end it at any time by deleting the app.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
