4. Your Content and Your Data

The App is designed to operate entirely on your device. Documents you scan, images you capture, PDF files the App generates, text extracted by optical character recognition (OCR), file names, tags, and any other content you create or import using the App (together, “Your Content”) remain stored on your device and are not transmitted to ApexByte, uploaded to any server operated by us, or shared with any third party by the App itself.

You retain all rights, title, and interest in and to Your Content. ApexByte does not claim any ownership of Your Content and does not use, access, review, or process Your Content.

You are solely responsible for:

• Your Content and the consequences of creating, storing, sharing, or otherwise using it;
• ensuring that you have all necessary rights, permissions, and consents to scan, store, and share any document or other material you use with the App;
• backing up Your Content. The App stores files locally on your device, and files may be lost if the App is uninstalled, if the device is reset, damaged, lost, or stolen, or if the device runs out of storage. We are not responsible for any loss of Your Content.

If you choose to share Your Content with a third party through the Android share sheet, cloud storage service, messaging application, email, or any other means, that sharing is entirely at your discretion and risk and is governed by the terms and privacy practices of the recipient service.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ApexByte disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We do not warrant that:

You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy and completeness of any document scanned, converted, or processed with the App before relying on it for any purpose — including but not limited to legal, financial, medical, tax, immigration, insurance, contractual, academic, or governmental use. QuickScan PDF is not a substitute for professional review of important documents.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall ApexByte, its owners, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, licensors, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of goodwill, loss of business opportunity, business interruption, procurement of substitute goods or services, or any other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your access to, use of, or inability to use the App — whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid to us for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) five United States dollars (US$5.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. To the extent any such exclusion or limitation is not permitted, our liability shall be limited to the smallest extent permitted by applicable law.

9. Advertising and Third-Party Services

The App is supported by advertising served through third-party ad networks, including Google AdMob. By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that:

• advertisements will be displayed within the App;
• advertisements may collect device identifiers and other information as described in our Privacy Policy and in the ad network’s own privacy policies;
• ApexByte does not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the content, products, or services of any advertisement or any advertiser or third-party website reached through an advertisement;

Your use of these services is subject to the applicable third-party terms and privacy policies, which are linked in our Privacy Policy. ApexByte is not responsible for the acts or omissions of these third parties or for any failure of their services.

10. In-App Purchases (Future Releases)

The current version of the App is free to use and supported by advertising. Future versions of the App may offer optional in-app purchases, such as a one-time purchase to remove advertising or to unlock additional features.

All in-app purchases are processed by Google Play Billing and are subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Purchases are:

• charged to the payment method associated with your Google Play account;
• final and non-refundable, except where refunds are required by applicable law or granted at Google’s or our discretion;
• tied to the Google account that made the purchase and are not transferable to another account.

We are not responsible for any billing errors, unauthorised charges, or other issues arising from Google Play Billing. Refund requests should be directed first to Google Play and, where applicable, to us at the contact address in Section 14.

11. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it from your device.

We may, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, suspend, restrict, disable, or terminate your access to the App or any part of it, and remove or refuse to make available any content, at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to:

• violation of these Terms;
• use of the App in a manner that we reasonably believe is unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful to other users, third parties, our systems, or the ad networks the App relies on;

• Sections 4 (Your Content and Your Data), 6 (Intellectual Property), 7 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 8 (Limitation of Liability), 9 (Advertising and Third-Party Services), 12 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction), and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, will survive termination;
• documents, files, and data stored locally on your device remain on your device and are not affected by termination; you may delete them at any time by uninstalling the App or removing files through the App’s interface or your device’s storage settings.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter (including non-contractual disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

You agree that the state and federal courts located in the State of Wyoming shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the App, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts, except that we retain the right to bring proceedings against you for breach of these Terms in the country in which you reside or in any other relevant country.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

Nothing in this Section limits any mandatory rights you may have as a consumer under the laws of your country of residence that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by contract.
