Terms of Use

1 Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and AkkroStudio ("we", "us", "our") regarding your use of all mobile applications published by AkkroStudio on the Apple App Store.

By downloading, installing, or using any of our apps, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms in their entirety. If you are a minor, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please uninstall the application and do not use it.

2 Description of Services

AkkroStudio develops productivity and utility apps for iOS devices. These include, by way of example:

• SmartPhotoCleaner (Purga): An app that analyses your device's photo library to identify screenshots, blurry photos, and duplicates, enabling you to selectively remove them.

The specific description, features, and particular conditions of each app are detailed on its App Store listing. In the event of a conflict between these general Terms and a specific condition of a particular app, the specific condition shall prevail.

3 Licence

AkkroStudio grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, and limited licence to use our apps on iOS devices that you own or control, subject to these Terms and Apple's App Store Terms of Service.

This licence does not permit you to:

• Sublicence, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or commercially exploit the app.
• Modify, decompile, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from the app.
• Remove copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
• Use the app to provide services to third parties without AkkroStudio's prior written consent.

4 Prohibited Uses

You expressly agree not to use our apps to:

• Engage in any activity that is unlawful or infringes the rights of others.
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security or payment mechanisms within the app.
• Access the app through automated means (bots, scripts) other than those intended.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to paid features without a valid licence.
• Distribute malware, viruses, or any other malicious code through the app.

AkkroStudio reserves the right to revoke your licence immediately and without notice upon any breach of this section.

5 In-App Purchases & Payments

General

Certain features of our apps require the purchase of a licence through in-app purchases managed entirely by Apple via the App Store. AkkroStudio does not process payments directly or store payment information.

Purchase type

Unless otherwise stated on the app's listing, all purchases are one-time payments (not subscriptions) that permanently unlock features tied to the purchaser's Apple ID. The specific products available in each app — name, price, and features unlocked — are detailed on its corresponding App Store listing.

Refunds

Refunds for in-app purchases are managed exclusively by Apple in accordance with their policies. AkkroStudio cannot issue refunds directly. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

Restoring purchases

If you change devices or reinstall the app, you can restore previous purchases using the "Restore Purchases" button in the app's settings, provided you use the same Apple ID as the original purchase.

6 Free Tier & Usage Limits

Certain features of our apps are available for free subject to usage limitations. The specific limits for each app are indicated within the app itself and on its App Store listing.

AkkroStudio reserves the right to modify free tier limits in future versions, providing reasonable advance notice through an app update or revision of these Terms.

7 Responsibility for Deleted Photos

You are solely responsible for reviewing photos marked for deletion before confirming the action. In particular:

• The app always requires explicit confirmation from the user via the standard iOS system alert before executing any deletion.
• If you have iCloud Photos enabled, deletion on your device may propagate to all your synced devices.
• If you have the Recently Deleted album enabled in iCloud (30-day window), it may be possible to recover photos from there within that period.
• AkkroStudio strongly recommends making a backup of your photos before performing bulk deletions.

8 Algorithm Accuracy

Our apps use automatic image analysis algorithms (Laplacian RMS for blur detection, Average Hash for duplicates, metadata for screenshots) which, by their computational nature, are not infallible.

• False positives: Photos classified as blurry, duplicate, or screenshots that the user would actually want to keep (e.g., photos with intentional bokeh, similar but non-identical shots).
• False negatives: Genuinely blurry or duplicate photos that are not detected by the algorithms.

AkkroStudio does not guarantee that analysis results are 100% accurate. You are responsible for reviewing each photo before deleting it. The app is designed to assist manual review, never to replace it.

9 Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in AkkroStudio's apps — including, without limitation, source code, graphic design, logos, icons, text, algorithms, and user experience — are the exclusive property of AkkroStudio or its licensors.

These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights over the apps. AkkroStudio and the names of our apps are trademarks of AkkroStudio. You may not use these marks without prior written authorisation.

10 Third-Party Services

Our apps may integrate third-party services subject to their own terms and conditions:

• Apple App Store: The download and distribution of our apps is governed by Apple's Terms of Service. Apple acts as distributor, not as a party to these Terms.
• Google AdMob: Present in apps with a free ad-supported tier. Advertising displayed is subject to Google's Advertising Policies. AkkroStudio does not control the content of individual advertisements.
• Apple PhotoKit: All access to and modification of the photo library is performed exclusively through Apple's official framework.

AkkroStudio is not responsible for the practices, content, or policies of third parties. We recommend reviewing their terms of service.

11 Privacy

The processing of personal data in the context of using our apps is governed by AkkroStudio's Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

12 Disclaimer of Warranties

AkkroStudio's apps are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including — without limitation — implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or satisfaction of expectations.

AkkroStudio does not warrant that:

• The apps will operate without interruption, error-free, or be compatible with all devices and iOS versions.
• Automatic detection results (blur, duplicates, screenshots) will be accurate or complete.
• Errors or defects will be corrected within any particular timeframe.

13 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AkkroStudio, its officers, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for:

• The permanent loss of photos or other data as a result of using the app, including accidental or unintended deletions.
• Any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of or inability to use the apps.
• Failures, interruptions, or errors in the service, whatever their cause.
• The content of advertisements displayed by third parties (Google AdMob) within the apps.

In jurisdictions where liability cannot be fully excluded, AkkroStudio's liability shall be limited to the maximum amount you have paid for the relevant app or feature in the preceding twelve (12) months.

14 Updates, Changes & Discontinuation

AkkroStudio reserves the right to:

• Release app updates that modify, add, or remove features, including changes to free tier limits or in-app purchase pricing.
• Discontinue an app or any of its features, providing reasonable advance notice where possible.
• Amend these Terms at any time. Changes take effect on the date indicated in the document. Continued use of the app after publication implies acceptance of the revised Terms.

App updates are distributed through the App Store. AkkroStudio does not guarantee that updates will remain available indefinitely.

15 Termination

These Terms remain in effect for as long as you use any AkkroStudio app. The licence terminates automatically if:

• You breach any of these Terms.
• You uninstall the app (though in-app purchases remain tied to your Apple ID and can be restored).
• AkkroStudio decides to revoke the licence for breach, with or without prior notice depending on the severity.

Termination of the licence does not entitle you to a refund, except as provided under Apple's refund policy.

16 Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rights that the laws of your country of residence may confer upon you.

For users resident in the European Union, the consumer protection provisions of your country of residence shall also apply to the extent they provide greater protection than English law.

Any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably by contacting [email protected] may be referred to the competent courts of England and Wales, or — where consumer legislation in your country so permits — to the courts of your place of residence.

The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
