2. Description of service

SquatchPix is a personal photo and video archive application that ingests media from third-party cloud services (Google Drive, Google Photos, OneDrive, Dropbox), deduplicates, AI-tags, and makes it searchable via a native Android app. The backend runs entirely within your own Microsoft Azure subscription.

4. Your account and device

SquatchPix identifies your device by a randomly generated install ID. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and Azure subscription. You must not use SquatchPix to store, process, or distribute content that is illegal, infringing, or violates third-party rights.

5. Third-party services

SquatchPix integrates with third-party APIs (Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, Azure). Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms of service and privacy policies. SquatchPix is not responsible for third-party service availability, changes to APIs, or data loss caused by third-party services.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use SquatchPix to process content you do not own or have rights to.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the App or its backend.
  • Use the service in a way that could damage, disable, or impair it.
  • Circumvent security controls or authentication mechanisms.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

SquatchPix is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will not be lost. You use the service at your own risk.

[PLACEHOLDER: Expand based on applicable jurisdiction requirements.]
