Terms of Service

TL;DR — You may use Qito freely on any supported device you own. Don't use it to break the law. We offer it as-is, with no warranty, but we'll act in good faith to fix real issues. Payments go through Apple or Google; refunds follow their policies. These terms are governed by the law of the state of Karnataka, India.

1. Who this is between

These terms are between you (the person using the Qito app) and PlayPal Apps, an independent developer operating out of Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. When we say "we" or "Qito," we mean PlayPal Apps.

2. Your license

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Qito on any device you own or legitimately control, subject to these terms. You don't "buy" Qito; you license the use of it. The IP remains ours.

You may not:

Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law.
Strip, hide, or circumvent the Pro entitlement check in order to access paid features without paying.
Rebrand or resell Qito as your own product.
Use Qito in a way that violates the law or infringes someone else's rights — including generating QR codes that encode malware, phishing links, or other abusive payloads.

The QR engine in lib/core/qr/ of the source repository is separately licensed under MIT. If you want to build on that engine in your own project, that's fine — follow the MIT terms.

3. Purchases and Pro

Qito offers optional paid upgrades (Pro monthly, Pro yearly, Pro lifetime). These are sold and administered by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). We never see or handle your payment information.

Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. Cancel any time via your Apple ID or Google account subscription settings; benefits continue until the end of the current period.
Lifetime is a one-time, non-consumable purchase that unlocks every current and future Pro feature for as long as the app remains operational on your platform.
Refunds follow the store's standard policy. On iOS: reportaproblem.apple.com. On Android: Google Play → My orders.
Pricing may change over time. Existing subscriptions stay at their locked-in rate; new purchases get the new rate.

4. Your content

QRs, payloads, logos, photos, and styles you create in Qito are yours. We don't claim any ownership. Because Qito is offline-first and doesn't run a server, we don't even have access to any of that content unless you explicitly share it with us (for example, attached to a support email).

5. What we provide, and don't

Qito is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that Qito will be uninterrupted, error-free, or 100% accurate. We do commit to acting in good faith: shipping bug fixes, being honest about limitations, and not pulling features you paid for without a clear migration path.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will PlayPal Apps be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of Qito. Our total liability for any claim relating to Qito is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for Qito in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) $50 USD.

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain disclaimers — if yours doesn't, the disclaimed items only apply to the maximum extent permitted where you live.

7. Indemnification

If your use of Qito violates these terms or applicable law and that causes us (or a third party) legal exposure, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from the resulting claims and reasonable costs.

8. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be surfaced in-app via a changelog entry linking here, and the "Last updated" date above will change. Continued use of Qito after a change means you accept the updated terms. If you don't, stop using the app.

9. Termination

You can terminate this agreement at any time by uninstalling Qito. We may terminate your license if you materially violate these terms. Paid, non-refunded entitlements survive such termination only for features that don't require network verification.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the state of Karnataka, India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that can't be resolved amicably is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bengaluru, India.
