Terms of Use

Last updated:

App: Locked Album (the "App")
Provider: Fivebet LLC ("we", "us")

These terms set out the conditions for using the App. By installing or using the App, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. What the App is

  1. The App provides a "locked album" that protects photos, videos, audio, and notes (including items imported from your device, taken with the App's camera, or created in the App; together, "stored content") with a PIN or pattern and stores them encrypted on your device, plus a calculator and a unit converter as extra tools.
  2. The App does not connect to the internet and has no server that holds your data. All data is stored only on your device.
  3. We may add, change, or discontinue features of the App without prior notice.

2. PIN or pattern, and recovery code

  1. You are responsible for keeping your PIN or pattern and your recovery code safe.
  2. The App never sends your PIN, pattern, or recovery code to us, and we have no way to know them.
  3. If you lose both your PIN or pattern and your recovery code, there is no way to recover your data. We cannot recover it either.
  4. After a number of wrong PIN or pattern attempts, the App locks temporarily. This is a safeguard against unauthorized access and we cannot lift it.

3. Data storage and backups

  1. On Android, the App's data is excluded from operating system backups (Google backup and similar). On iPhone, the App's data stays encrypted and is included in the device backup (iCloud Backup, Quick Start), so it carries over when you change phones; Face ID / Touch ID unlock must be set up again on the new phone.
  2. Uninstalling the App erases all its data, including your stored content, and it cannot be restored.
  3. Before changing devices, resetting your device, or uninstalling, create a backup with the App's "Export" feature and keep it somewhere safe. Creating and keeping backups is your responsibility.
  4. The passphrase you set when exporting is not stored in the App. If you forget it, that backup cannot be restored.
  5. We are not responsible for data loss caused by device failure, loss or theft, OS defects, other apps, or your own actions.

4. Deleting original files

  1. The App can delete the original file of an imported photo or video from your device's photo library (gallery) (on supported operating systems only).
  2. Deletion happens only after your explicit action and the system confirmation dialog. Recovery of deleted originals depends on the OS "Trash" or "Recently Deleted" behavior.
  3. We are not responsible for consequences of deleting original files.

5. Free tier and Premium

  1. The free tier is limited to 100 items in total (photos, videos, and audio; of which videos and audio up to 10 combined) and 10 folders. Notes do not count toward the item limit.
  2. Premium (paid, as a subscription or a one-time purchase) removes these limits.
  3. Limits and benefits are described in the App and on the store listing. We may change them, but we will give advance notice before making changes that disadvantage existing subscribers during their paid period.

6. Purchasing Premium, auto-renewal, and cancellation

  1. Premium is available as an auto-renewing subscription at JPY 250 per month or JPY 1,980 per year, or as a one-time purchase at JPY 5,980, in Japan (tax included; prices vary by country and region). The one-time purchase is paid once and does not renew. Items 3 to 5 below apply only to subscriptions.
  2. Purchases are made through Apple's App Store or Google Play, and charged to your Apple or Google account.
  3. The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The renewal charge is made within 24 hours before the period ends.
  4. Cancellation is done outside the App:
    • iOS: Settings → your name → Subscriptions
    • Android: Google Play app → profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions
  5. After cancelling, Premium remains active until the end of the paid period. There is no refund for the unused part of a period.
  6. After cancellation (returning to the free tier), your stored photos, videos, audio, notes, and folders are not deleted. You can still view, play, delete, and export them. If you are over the free-tier limits, you simply cannot add new photos, videos, audio, or folders until you are within the limits again.
  7. Refunds follow Apple's or Google's refund policies. Because we do not process payments, we cannot issue refunds directly.

7. Prohibited conduct

You must not:

  1. Use the App for purposes that violate applicable laws or public order
  2. Store or use content that infringes the rights of others (privacy, likeness, copyright, and so on)
  3. Reverse engineer, modify, or make unauthorized copies of the App
  4. Exploit vulnerabilities in the App
  5. Do anything else we reasonably consider inappropriate

8. Intellectual property

Copyright, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights in the App belong to us or to their rightful owners. Rights in content you store in the App remain with you or their rightful owners.

9. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

  1. We do not guarantee that the App will fit your particular purpose, run without errors or interruption, or be completely secure. The App is provided "as is".
  2. Encryption strengthens the protection of your stored content, but it does not fully eliminate the possibility that someone else sees your content, for example if your device is lost, has an OS vulnerability, has no device lock, or your PIN or pattern is disclosed.
  3. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from use of or inability to use the App (including data loss, lost profits, and indirect damages), except where caused by our willful misconduct or gross negligence.
  4. Where we are liable, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid through us for the App in the 12 months before the damage occurred.
  5. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability. In that case, the relevant part of this section applies only to the extent permitted by law, and nothing in these terms affects your statutory consumer rights.

10. Support

  1. We accept questions about the App at the contact below. We do not guarantee response times or outcomes.
  2. Because we hold no data, we cannot reset PINs or patterns, recover data, or extract stored content.

11. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms when necessary. Updated terms take effect when posted on this page. For significant changes, we will also mention it in the App's release notes. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Disputes relating to the App are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the district court that has jurisdiction over our registered office as the court of first instance, except where mandatory consumer protection law gives you the right to the courts or laws of your place of residence.

13. Apple and Google

  1. These terms are between you and us. Apple and Google are not parties and have no obligation to maintain or support the App.
  2. If the App fails to conform to the App Store terms, Apple may refund the purchase price to you, and Apple has no other obligation.
  3. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right to enforce these terms against you.
  4. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
