Terms of Use for "Scan & Store"

These Terms are concluded between you and the Provider only, and not with Apple Inc. or its affiliates ("Apple").

The Provider, and not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content, subject to applicable law.

These Terms do not limit or conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or other applicable Apple usage rules.

Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App.

The Provider's Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed in connection with the App and is available at: https://scan-and-store.com/en/privacy-policy

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any mandatory purchase disclosures shown by Apple at checkout, form the contractual framework between you and the Provider regarding the App.

You may use the App only if you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts. If you are a minor, you may use the App only with the consent of your parent or legal guardian.

To the extent required by Apple's minimum EULA terms, you represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Subject to these Terms, the Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the applicable Apple usage rules, including Family Sharing where applicable.

You may use the App only for its intended purposes and in compliance with these Terms and applicable law.

The App is intended solely for personal, private, non-commercial use by individual end users.

The App is a local-first document scanning, storage, viewing, export, and archive-management application.

Depending on the features you use, the App may allow you to scan and import documents, store and organize documents locally on your device, generate OCR text and related metadata, apply local editing layers such as redactions, annotations, notes, and signatures, export edited or unedited output files, optionally connect supported third-party cloud providers, and restore or validate cloud-linked content.

In the currently shipped public V1, archive documents are intended to remain in the App's private local storage on your device unless you export, share, or enable a supported cloud connection.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the App is not a hosted document storage service operated by the Provider for the general server-side storage of your document files.

The currently shipped public V1 does not provide a separate Vault or Safe feature and should not be understood as an end-to-end encrypted or ciphertext-only document vault.

The App may offer auto-renewable subscriptions through Apple In-App Purchase, including monthly and yearly plans.

A free trial or introductory offer may be available if shown in the App Store or in the Apple purchase flow at the time of purchase. Subscription price, billing interval, applicable taxes, and any trial or introductory terms are shown by Apple at checkout and are binding at the time of purchase.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in accordance with Apple's subscription rules.

Deleting the App from your device does not cancel your subscription.

Billing, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and payment processing are handled by Apple under Apple's terms and policies. You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple account settings. Refund requests, if available, must be made through Apple's refund channels.

The App may offer purchase restoration using Apple's subscription infrastructure.

If you do not have an active subscription, the App is designed to continue to provide a read-and-export-only basic access level for existing locally stored documents ("Basic Access").

Scanning new documents, importing new content, editing archive content, OCR-based processing, archive organization, cloud-related functions including sync, and similar premium features may require an active subscription.

Basic Access includes, at a minimum, the ability in the currently installed version to view and export existing locally stored documents. Additional Basic Access features may vary by version and lawful technical constraints.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device, your Apple account, your device passcode, and any biometric or authentication settings used to access the App.

Because the App is designed primarily for local use, deleting the App, erasing your device, losing your device, or removing local app data may result in the loss of locally stored documents, metadata, or settings unless you have created separate backups or cloud copies.

You are responsible for deciding whether additional backups, exports, or cloud copies are appropriate for your use case.

App-lock, where offered in the current version, is optional and depends on your device configuration. You are responsible for deciding whether to enable it and for using device passcode or biometric protection appropriately.

You are also responsible for choosing secure export passwords where used and for reviewing recipients, share targets, and filenames before disclosing sensitive content.

You retain any ownership rights you have in documents, files, metadata, notes, annotations, titles, tags, exports, and other content processed through the App ("User Content").

The Provider does not claim ownership of your User Content.

You are solely responsible for all User Content processed through the App. You represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions necessary to process such User Content and that your use of the App and User Content does not violate applicable law or third-party rights.

You will not use the App for unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, abusive, or misleading purposes.

The App is designed primarily for local, on-device use.

Archive documents are intended to remain in the App's private local storage on your device unless you export, share, or connect a supported cloud provider.

If you choose to connect a supported cloud provider, readable PDF files, filenames, folder structure, and restore or sync metadata may be transferred directly between your device and the provider you selected, depending on the feature you use. The Provider does not operate a general server-side document-file proxy or general document storage backend for the App's normal document storage or sync architecture.

Access credentials or connection tokens for supported cloud providers may be stored locally on your device, for example in Apple Keychain or comparable system facilities.

Certain technical connection steps may use supporting infrastructure operated for the App. Currently, this may include Supabase-based infrastructure for the pCloud authentication flow, including an authorization-code exchange or related authentication handling. Such supporting infrastructure is not a general document storage backend or document-file proxy for your document files.

The App does not provide ciphertext-only cloud synchronization or end-to-end encrypted document storage.

The App may allow optional integration with third-party services selected by you, currently including Google Drive, Dropbox, pCloud, and Apple platform infrastructure or services where technically required.

If you use such services, your use of those services is governed by their own terms, privacy notices, and technical policies, and you must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using them together with the App.

Those providers may process your data independently under their own legal responsibility.

The security, confidentiality, and availability of content stored with those services depend on the provider you selected and that provider's own infrastructure, settings, and policies.

The Provider is not responsible for the availability, security, functionality, account decisions, data handling, or acts or omissions of those third parties.

Any data transfer to a third-party service occurs because you enabled or used the relevant feature.

OCR text, date extraction, title suggestions, duplicate detection, archive suggestions, classifications, and similar automated outputs are provided for convenience only.

Such outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for legal, accounting, archival, compliance, evidentiary, medical, financial, or other important decisions.

You must review all automated outputs before relying on them.

Certain edits, including redactions, annotations, notes, or signatures, may be stored as local editing layers and may only be applied to selected export outputs rather than permanently modifying the original archived file.

Exporting or sharing a file causes that file to leave the App's protected local storage area.

Unless the App expressly states otherwise for a specific output, the archived original and any cloud replica may remain the original file.

Any password protection offered for PDF exports is PDF-based protection for the exported file and is not equivalent to end-to-end encryption or a ciphertext-only container.

In particular, redactions and similar edits are generally embedded only in the edited exported output, while an export of the original file may leave the original content unchanged.

You are solely responsible for checking the actual file you export, share, upload, disclose, or rely on. In particular, you must verify that intended redactions, annotations, and signatures are actually present in the exported output before using or sharing that file.

The App is a productivity tool and not a certified archiving system, records-management system, tax archive, legal archive, medical archive, compliance system, or professional records-retention service.

The App does not provide legal, tax, accounting, medical, archival, or regulatory advice.

You remain solely responsible for determining whether and how the App may be used for any legal retention, evidentiary, compliance, business, or professional purpose.

The Provider, and not Apple, is responsible for providing maintenance and support for the App, if any, and as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish maintenance or support services for the App.

The Provider may release updates, bug fixes, compatibility changes, and security updates. Where required by applicable law, the Provider will provide updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the App.

The Provider may change, limit, or discontinue features, integrations, or workflows for valid legal, regulatory, technical, security, operational, or product reasons. Where mandatory law applies to ongoing digital services, any changes beyond those necessary to maintain conformity will only be made within the limits of applicable law and without depriving you of mandatory rights.

Where reasonably feasible, we will provide prior notice of material adverse changes to paid features during an active subscription period. Your mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

The Provider, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to an applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, subject in each case to applicable law.

The App, including its software, structure, design, branding, and non-user-generated content, is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

All rights not expressly granted to you under these Terms are reserved by the Provider or the relevant rights holder.

If a third party claims that the App or your possession or use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Provider, and not Apple, will be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of such claim, to the extent required by applicable law.

Except for mandatory statutory rights, the Provider does not guarantee that the App will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or continuously available; that scans, imports, OCR, exports, sync operations, restores, or editing features will always be fully accurate or successful; or that the App will meet all individual legal, professional, archival, or business requirements of every user.

The Provider also does not guarantee that data loss, corruption, unauthorized access, sync conflicts, or failures of third-party services can be completely prevented.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, limits, or replaces mandatory statutory rights, especially mandatory consumer rights relating to digital products, conformity, updates, remedies, refunds, or damages where such rights cannot lawfully be excluded.

If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty and you paid a purchase price for the App itself, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price paid for the App, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law.

The App is not intended for emergency use or for situations in which data loss, incorrect OCR, incomplete export, failed redaction, failed sync, or temporary unavailability could reasonably be expected to cause death, personal injury, severe legal prejudice, regulatory sanctions, or major financial damage.

You must not rely on the App as your sole or primary system in such high-risk situations.

These Terms apply for as long as you use the App.

You may stop using the App at any time. Managing or cancelling a subscription must be done through Apple unless Apple's processes or mandatory law provide otherwise.

The Provider may suspend or terminate your right to use the App if you materially breach these Terms, use the App unlawfully, or misuse technical, subscription, or security mechanisms. Where reasonable and feasible, the Provider will first give you an opportunity to cure the breach.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination shall remain in effect after termination, including sections on User Content responsibility, third-party services, product claims, intellectual property, warranty, liability, governing law, jurisdiction, and severability.

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), to the extent applicable.

If you are a consumer habitually resident in another country, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of that country remain unaffected to the extent required by applicable law.

If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be Berlin, Germany, provided this is legally permissible.

If you are a consumer, the statutory jurisdiction rules apply.

Unless mandatory law requires otherwise in a specific case, the Provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

The Provider may update these Terms where necessary to reflect legal, regulatory, Apple-platform, technical, operational, or product-related changes.

Updated Terms will be made available in an appropriate manner before they take effect.

Where mandatory law requires a specific form of notice, consent, or change procedure, any update will only take effect in accordance with that law.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any mandatory purchase disclosures shown by Apple at checkout, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Provider regarding the App, unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected to the extent permitted by law. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provision.
