Effective date: July 1, 2026 · Last updated: July 1, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the AuraVault mobile application ("the App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Important Notice on Local Data

AuraVault is a 100% local, zero-knowledge encrypted vault. All photos, videos, and files are encrypted and stored strictly on your local device. We do NOT have a backend server, we do NOT store your passcode, and we do NOT back up your files.

If you forget your passcode, we cannot reset it or recover your files.
If you delete the App, all your encrypted files will be permanently deleted from your device. We cannot recover them.
You are solely responsible for managing your passcode and backing up your device.

1. Description of Service

AuraVault provides binary-level AES-256 local encryption for photos, videos, and files. Certain features are free, while premium features (such as Decoy Vault, Intruder Capture, Custom App Icons, and Unlimited Storage) require an active in-app subscription or lifetime purchase.

2. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

Billing: Premium features are billed on a subscription basis (monthly or yearly) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID Account at confirmation of purchase.
Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
Cancellation: You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time by going to your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase.
Refunds: All transactions are handled by Apple. We cannot process refunds directly. To request a refund, please contact Apple Support.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not use the App to store any content that violates local laws, regulations, or intellectual property rights. You are solely responsible for all content stored within your local copy of the App.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT YOUR DATA WILL BE 100% SECURE AGAINST ALL POSSIBLE SECURITY BREACHES.

5. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF CONTENT, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP.

6. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer resides, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

7. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will post the updated Terms on this page. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
