Terms of Use

1. Accepting these terms

These Terms of Use form an agreement between you and StudioX Nexus Ltd ("we", "us"), the publisher of the Phone Cleaner Android application (the "app"). By installing or using the app you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not install the app, and uninstall it if you already have.

Our Privacy Policy forms part of this agreement and describes how data is handled.

2. Your licence to use the app

We grant you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own purposes. The app is licensed to you, not sold. All rights not expressly granted here remain ours.

3. Eligibility

You must be old enough to enter a binding contract in your country, and at least 18 years old, to use the app. The app deletes files and starts app uninstalls, so it is not intended for children and its Google Play listing declares an adult audience.

4. What the app does and does not do

The app scans the storage areas Android grants it access to, groups what it finds into categories, and carries out the deletions and uninstalls you confirm. It also displays read only information about memory, battery, network usage and the notification shade, and it can play a test tone through the speaker.

It is equally important to be clear about what the app does not do:

• It does not make Android run faster, extend battery life or increase available memory beyond the storage you free. No Android app can do these things, and we do not claim to.
• It does not repair hardware. The speaker tone is a test signal, not a repair procedure, and it will not remove water or dust from a speaker.
• It does not detect or remove malware.
• It does not read the contents of notifications, and it does not scan or transmit the contents of your files.
• It does not guarantee that every file of a given type on the device will be found. Android restricts what an application may see, and where a figure or a file set is unavailable the app says so rather than inventing a value.

Figures the app displays are measurements reported by Android at the time of the scan. Storage changes constantly, so a figure may be out of date by the time you act on it. The app rechecks before every destructive operation and reports the verified result afterwards.

5. Deletion is your decision

This is the most important clause in this agreement. Read it before you use the app.

• Nothing is deleted until you confirm it. The app shows the exact number of items and their total size on a confirmation screen, and app uninstalls additionally require you to accept Android's own system dialog.
• On Android 11 and later, media files are moved to the Android trash by default, where the system keeps them for a limited period. Deleting permanently is a separate and clearly marked choice. On Android 8 to 10 there is no system trash, so deletion is final, and the app warns you before it begins.
• Permanently deleted files cannot be recovered, by us or by you. Back up anything you value before you run a cleanup. We are not able to restore deleted content, and we do not keep a copy of it.
• You are responsible for having the right to delete what you delete, including on a shared or work managed device.
• The app never selects your photos, videos or installed apps on your behalf. Where a selection is made in advance, it covers only the junk category, and you can change it before confirming.

6. Advertising and pricing

The app is free. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase and no feature reserved for a paid tier. It is funded by advertising, which is delivered by the partners named in section 5 of the Privacy Policy.

Advertisements are supplied by third parties. We do not endorse the products, services or claims they contain, and we are not responsible for the content of an ad or for anything that happens after you leave the app by tapping one. If you see an advertisement that appears fraudulent or unlawful, tell us at techteam@studiox-dev.com and we will report it to the network that served it.

We reserve the right to change the way the app is funded in a future version. If a paid option is ever introduced, it will be introduced in an update with its own terms and its own price shown before purchase, and it will not retroactively charge you for a version you already have.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction.
• Copy, redistribute, sell, sublicense or rent the app, or publish a modified build of it.
• Remove or obscure any notice of ownership contained in the app.
• Use the app to delete data you have no right to delete, or on a device you do not own or control without permission.
• Interfere with the advertising the app displays, generate artificial ad impressions or clicks, or use automated means to interact with the app.
• Use the app in a way that breaks the law, or that damages, disables or overburdens any system it connects to.

8. Google Play and third party services

The app is distributed through Google Play, and your use of the store is governed by the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to this agreement, is not responsible for the app, and provides no warranty for it. Where the store's own rules give you a right that conflicts with a clause here, the store's rules prevail for that right.

The app relies on services provided by third parties, including advertising networks and a diagnostics provider. Their handling of data is described in the Privacy Policy and governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for their services, and their availability is outside our control.

9. Intellectual property

The app, its interface, its icon, its name and this website are owned by StudioX Nexus Ltd and protected by copyright and other laws. Android and Google Play are trademarks of Google LLC, and the names of the advertising networks mentioned in these documents belong to their respective owners. Nothing here transfers ownership of anything to you.

Your files remain entirely yours. We claim no right of any kind over the content stored on your device.

10. Feedback you send us

If you send us a suggestion, a bug report or any other feedback, you allow us to use it to improve the app without obligation, payment or attribution to you. Do not include confidential information or personal data about other people in a message to us.

11. Updates and availability

We may publish updates that change, add or remove features, and we may stop supporting older Android versions when maintaining them is no longer reasonable. Some updates are needed for the app to keep working correctly with Android, and Google Play may install them according to your device settings.

We may discontinue the app or withdraw it from distribution at any time. If we do, versions already installed continue to work for as long as your device supports them, but we no longer maintain them, and you should stop relying on the app for anything important.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted or error free, that every category of file will be detected, that the figures reported by Android are accurate, or that any particular amount of storage will be freed.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of your country. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, loss of profit, loss of goodwill or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with your use of the app, even if we have been advised that such damage is possible.

In particular, and given that deleting is what the app does, we are not liable for the loss of files, photos, videos or applications that you selected and confirmed for deletion or uninstallation.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the app in the twelve months before the claim, which for a free app is nothing, or 50 EUR.

We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Saint Kitts and Nevis, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The courts of Saint Kitts and Nevis have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms or from your use of the app.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another country whose law grants you the protection of your local courts, nothing in this section takes that protection away: you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, and the mandatory consumer protection rules of that country continue to apply.

Before starting a formal dispute, please write to techteam@studiox-dev.com. Most problems are quicker to fix than to litigate.

15. Termination

You may end this agreement at any time by uninstalling the app. We may suspend or end your licence if you materially breach these terms, in particular section 7. Sections 9, 12, 13 and 14 survive the end of this agreement.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the app changes or when the law requires it. The version number and effective date at the top of this page always show the current version. Material changes will be announced in the app before they take effect, and continuing to use the app after that point means you accept the new terms. If you do not accept them, uninstall the app.
