Terms & Conditions — AI Storage Cleaner

1. The agreement

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and NextWave Infotech regarding the AI Storage Cleaner mobile application (the "App").

By downloading, installing or using the App, you confirm that you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into them by reference. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App, and uninstall it if you already have.

You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, and at least 13 (or the higher minimum age in your country). If you are a minor, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf.

2. Who we are

3. Licence to use the app

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, in accordance with these Terms and the rules of the app store you obtained it from.

You may not:

• copy, modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works of the App;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits this despite this restriction;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the App;
• remove or obscure any proprietary notice; or
• use the App to break the law, to access data you have no right to access, or to interfere with anyone else's device or data.

4. What the app does

The App is a storage-management utility. It scans your device to find duplicate and similar photos, blurry images and screenshots, large or old videos, cached and junk files, unused apps, duplicate or incomplete contacts, and old calendar entries. It can compress media, hide selected items in a PIN-protected Vault, and delete items that you select and confirm.

All scanning and analysis happens on your device. The App does not upload your photos, videos, files, contacts or calendar entries anywhere. See the Privacy Policy for detail.

5. Deletion is permanent — read this

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss of data, files, media, contacts or calendar entries resulting from your use of the App, including deletions you instructed, mis-selection, or an interrupted operation.

6. The Vault

The Vault moves selected items into the App's private storage area on your device and places them behind a PIN you choose. It is a privacy convenience, not a security product. In particular:

• Vault contents are moved, not encrypted. They rely on your device's own security and app sandboxing.
• Uninstalling the App, or clearing its data, permanently deletes everything in the Vault. Unhide anything you want to keep before you uninstall.
• Your PIN is stored only as a salted cryptographic hash. If you forget it, we cannot reset it or recover the contents.

You agree not to use the Vault to store anything unlawful, and you accept that you alone are responsible for what you place in it.

7. Your responsibilities

• Keep your own backups, and verify a selection before confirming any destructive action.
• Use the App only on devices and data you own or are authorised to manage.
• Do not use the App to delete, hide or alter another person's data without their permission.
• Comply with all laws that apply to you, including any that govern retention of records on a device you use for work.

8. Permissions and privacy

The App asks for operating-system permissions (such as photos and media, contacts, calendar, notifications, and on Android the list of installed apps and usage access) purely to provide the features described above. You may decline any permission; doing so only disables the feature that needs it.

Our handling of data is described in the Privacy Policy. In summary: there are no accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and your content is processed on your device and is not uploaded to us.

9. Free app, no purchases

The App is provided free of charge. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywalled features and no advertising. All features are available to all users.

Standard carrier data charges may apply to the small amount of network traffic the App uses (push notifications and configuration). We may introduce paid features in future; if we do, we will make that clear before you are charged anything, and these Terms will be updated.

10. Third-party services

The App uses Google Firebase (Cloud Messaging and Remote Config) to deliver push notifications you enable and to fetch configuration. Your use of those services is also subject to Google's terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for third-party services, nor for your device's operating system, app store, or any website you open from a link in the App.

11. Intellectual property

The App, its name, logo, design, code and content are owned by NextWave Infotech or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a licence to use the App — they do not transfer any ownership to you.

Your data stays yours. We claim no ownership of your photos, videos, files, contacts or calendar entries, and we never receive them.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, that its scan results will be complete or accurate, that any particular amount of storage will be recovered, or that it is compatible with every device or OS version.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer rights you have under mandatory local law.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NextWave Infotech and its directors, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, files, media, contacts, calendar entries, profits, revenue, goodwill or business, arising out of or connected with your use of, or inability to use, the App — whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and even if we were advised such damages were possible.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the App — which is zero, as the App is free — or (b) INR 1,000.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless NextWave Infotech from any claim, demand, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the App, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

15. Changes to the app and these terms; termination

We may update, modify or discontinue the App or any feature at any time. We may also update these Terms; the "Last updated" date above always reflects the current version, and where a change materially affects your rights we will give prominent notice in the App or on its store listing before it takes effect. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

You may end this agreement at any time by uninstalling the App. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including 5, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 18 — survive it.

16. Additional terms for the Apple App Store iOS

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies and prevails over any conflicting term above:

• These Terms are concluded between you and NextWave Infotech only, and not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
• The licence granted in section 3 is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the App.
• In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App — including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any third-party claim that the App infringes that party's intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

17. Additional terms for Google Play Android

If you obtained the App from Google Play, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and NextWave Infotech only, and not with Google. Google is not responsible for the App or its content, and has no obligation to provide support for it. Your use of Google Play is governed by the Google Play Terms of Service.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts at Surat, Gujarat, India have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law grants you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts or to the protection of mandatory local consumer law, nothing in this section deprives you of that right.

Before starting any formal proceedings, we ask that you contact us at support@nextwaveinfotech.com so we can try to resolve the matter informally.

19. General

• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force and the unenforceable provision is applied to the maximum extent permitted.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, on notice to you.
• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App, and supersede any prior understanding.
• Language. These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation is provided for convenience; the English version prevails in the event of a conflict.
