Terso - Terms of Service
Effective Date: August 13, 2026
Last Updated: August 13, 2026
Welcome to Terso! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Terso mobile application (the "App") operated by us ("we," "our," or "us").
By downloading, accessing, or using Terso, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App.
1. Description of Service
Terso is an on-device photo organization and security utility that provides smart photo search, duplicate photo cleanup, OCR text recognition, local Wi-Fi file transfers, and an encrypted private vault. All processing occurs locally on your iOS device.
2. Subscriptions and In-App Purchases
Terso offers optional premium features ("Terso Pro") via In-App Purchases, including auto-renewable subscriptions and lifetime access.
A. Pricing & Plans
- Weekly Subscription: $9.99 / week (includes a 3-day free trial).
- Monthly Subscription: $34.99 / month.
- Lifetime Access: $49.99 (one-time purchase for non-expiring access).
Note: Prices are listed in U.S. Dollars (USD) and may vary in other countries or regions due to local currency exchange rates and taxes managed by Apple.
B. Free Trial & Auto-Renewal
- Free Trial: The Weekly Subscription includes a 3-day free trial. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial period ends, your account will automatically be charged $9.99/week.
- Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
- Billing: Payment will be charged to your Apple ID Account at confirmation of purchase or after the free trial period expires. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
C. Subscription Management & Cancellation
- You can manage, change, or cancel your subscriptions at any time by going to your iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions after purchase.
- Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
D. Refunds
All billing, payments, and refunds are processed exclusively by Apple through the App Store. To request a refund, please contact Apple directly via reportaproblem.apple.com. We do not have the authority or capability to process refunds directly.
3. User Responsibilities & Private Vault Security
- Local Storage & Backup: Because Terso processes and stores data (including the Private Vault) 100% locally on your device without uploading to external servers, you are solely responsible for backing up your device and managing your media. We are not liable for any lost, deleted, or unrecoverable media.
- Passcode & Biometric Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your device passcode, Face ID, and Private Vault credentials. We cannot recover lost credentials or unlock Private Vaults if you forget your password, as no backup exists on our end.
4. Intellectual Property Rights
All rights, title, and interest in and to the App (excluding user-owned media), including its software, code, UI/UX designs, trademarks, and logos, are and will remain our exclusive property.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE FROM DATA LOSS.
6. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, INCURRED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, ARISING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE APP.
7. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. Any changes will be posted within the App or on our designated webpage with an updated "Effective Date." Your continued use of the App following any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
