Terms of Service | Vaultine by Miciniti

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, accessing or using the Service, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our Service.

You're not allowed to copy, or modify the app, any part of the app, or our trademarks in any way. You're not allowed to attempt to extract the source code of the app, and you also should not try to translate the app into other languages, or make derivative versions. The app itself, and all the trade marks, copyright, database rights and other intellectual property rights related to it, still belong to Miciniti Technologies Limited.

Description of Service

We provide a secure folder and file encryption application that allows you to safely store, lock, and optionally sync your private files, photos, videos, and documents. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, including availability of features or content.

Our Commitment

We are commited to ensuring that the app is as useful and efficient as possible. For that reason, we reserve the right to make changes to the app or to charge for its services, at any time and for any reason. We will never charge you for the app or its services without making it very clear to you exactly what you’re paying for.

Data Protection

The app stores your encrypted files, images, and other data on your device or your configured cloud storage. It’s your responsibility to keep your device, passcode/pattern locks, and access to the app secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your phone or device, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your device vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your device's security features and it could mean that the app won’t work properly or at all.

Because Vaultine is a zero-knowledge local application, we do not store, manage, or have access to your passcodes, patterns, or encryption keys. It is your sole responsibility to remember your passcode/pattern and safely secure your 12-word recovery seed phrase. If you lose your passcode and your recovery seed phrase, we cannot recover your access or decrypt your files, resulting in permanent data loss.

Third Parties

The app may use the following third-party services that declare their own Terms and Conditions to provide features such as syncing and ad delivery.

Dropbox

Acceptable Use Policy

You agree NOT to:

Violate intellectual property rights of others
Distribute malware, viruses, or harmful code
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or app storage
Use the Service for illegal activities
Interfere with or disrupt the Service
Resell or redistribute our Service without permission

Content and Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of all content, encrypted files, and photos you upload or protect within the app. By using our syncing features, you grant the necessary permissions to transmit your content to your chosen cloud provider. We do not claim ownership of your content, and we do not have direct access to your private files.

All intellectual property rights in the Service, including software, text, graphics, and trademarks, are owned by or licensed to Miciniti Technologies Limited.

Data Backup and Loss

While the app allows you to sync and backup your data, we recommend maintaining your own independent backup copies of important files and documents. We are not liable for any data loss resulting from device failure, user error, application crashes, lost passcodes/recovery phrases, or third-party cloud service issues.

Service Availability

We strive to maintain a high-quality application experience but do not guarantee uninterrupted functionality. Updates or device compatibility issues may temporarily affect availability. We are not liable for any service interruptions.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of the Service.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your use of the Service, violation of these terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

Service Updates

At some point, we may wish to update the app. The app is currently available on Windows, iOS, and Android – the requirements for the system (and for any additional systems we decide to extend the availability of the app to) may change, and you’ll need to download the updates if you want to keep using the app.

Miciniti does not promise that it will always update the app so that it is relevant to you and/or works with the OS version that you have installed on your device. However, you promise to always accept updates to the application when offered to you.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to certain features at any time for violation of these terms or for any other reason. Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ceases.

We may also wish to stop providing the service, and may terminate use of it at any time without giving notice of termination to you. Unless we tell you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must stop using the app, and (if needed) delete it from your device.

Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with applicable arbitration rules, except where prohibited by law.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes via app updates, email, or through our website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
