Terms of Service — Locksy (App Lock & Password)

1. Licence

Hiren Paghadal grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms and the rules of the Google Play store.

The App and all its source code, designs, copy, and brand marks remain the property of Hiren Paghadal or the App’s licensors.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the App in any way that violates the law where you live or where you use it.
• Use the App to hide or conceal content that you do not own, are not entitled to access, or that infringes the rights of another person.
• Resell, sub-licence, rent, or otherwise commercially redistribute the App or any of its assets without written consent.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code from the App, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Attempt to bypass app-lock protections, interfere with the anti-uninstall or auto-relock features, or circumvent any security control to access another person’s device or data.
• Use the App to stalk, harass, or surveil another person (for example, by misusing the intruder-selfie feature on a device that is not yours).

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access for material breaches — see Section 9.

3. Your content and vault

Locksy lets you lock installed apps and move photos, videos, notes, and files into an on-device vault. You retain full ownership of everything you put inside the vault. We do not upload, transmit, or back up vault content to our servers.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to access and store every file you place in the vault. You are also responsible for remembering your PIN, pattern, or knock code — see Section 9 of the Privacy Policy for what we can and cannot recover.

4. Third-party services

The App integrates with the following third-party services. Your use of those services is also governed by their own terms:

• Google Play — distribution platform (terms)
• Google AdMob — advertising (terms)
• Google Firebase — diagnostics and remote configuration where applicable (terms)

We are not responsible for the availability or behaviour of those services. The data each one receives is described in our Privacy Policy.

5. In-app purchases (optional)

Locksy may offer optional in-app purchases. Purchases are billed through your Google Play account at the price shown at checkout. Refunds are handled by Google Play under its Refund Policy; we cannot refund a Play Store purchase directly.

Features unlocked by purchase may be added, changed, or removed in future versions. If a paid feature is removed in a way that materially reduces value during your active term, contact us for a pro-rated refund consideration.

6. Intellectual property

All rights in the App, including the Locksy name, lock-screen designs, copy, art, fonts (under their respective licences), source code, and any future updates, are owned by Hiren Paghadal or licensed to us.

These Terms do not grant you any right or licence in our trademarks. Google Play, Android, and any other third-party marks belong to their respective owners.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

Locksy is a privacy tool, not a security guarantee. It raises the bar against casual access to the apps and files you choose to protect, but no software can guarantee absolute security against a determined, technically equipped attacker who has physical possession of your device.

The App is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, with all faults and without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including (without limitation) implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and quiet enjoyment.

We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, free from security vulnerabilities, or that any defects will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions the exclusions above apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither Hiren Paghadal nor any of the App’s contributors, licensors, or service providers will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or other intangible loss, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the App — including, without limitation, loss of access to vault contents resulting from a forgotten PIN, pattern, or knock code.

In any event, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the App or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:

• The amount you paid Hiren Paghadal for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or
• ₹1,000 INR / USD 12.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

9. Termination

You can stop using the App at any time and uninstall it from your device. Local data wipe and full removal are described in the Account & Data Deletion guide.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if we reasonably believe you have materially breached these Terms or applicable law. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law) will survive.

10. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You and Hiren Paghadal agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Rajkot, Gujarat, India for any dispute arising out of or in connection with the App or these Terms, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you a non-waivable right to bring proceedings locally.

Before starting formal proceedings we both agree to attempt to resolve the dispute by writing to contact@hirenpaghadal.in and engaging in good-faith discussion for at least 30 days.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective” date at the top will change. Continued use of the App after the effective date of a change means you accept the new Terms. If you do not accept, please uninstall the App.
