1. Acceptance of Terms & Incorporation of Privacy Policy

By downloading, installing, registering, accessing, or utilizing any mobile application, digital utility, SDK, or online service published by Sky Touch Media (STMLabs), you represent and warrant that you have read, understood, and agreed to be unreservedly bound by these Terms of Service and End User License Agreement ("Terms").

This agreement encompasses all application versions, future updates, supplemental plugins, in-app digital purchases, auto-renewing subscriptions, and web endpoints operated under our entity.

Incorporation of Privacy Policy by Reference:

Your access to and use of our applications is also expressly conditioned on your compliance with our official Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy (stmlabs.net/privacy) describes how we process, store, and safeguard your data, and is hereby incorporated into and made an integral part of these Terms by reference.

Important Notice: If you do not unconditionally accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy in their entirety, you are strictly prohibited from downloading, installing, or retaining any Sky Touch Media application, and you must immediately uninstall and delete all application files from your device.
02

2. Age Eligibility, Capacity & Minors Clause

We are committed to the safety of younger audiences and strict compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), European Union GDPR-K, and Section 9 of the India Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act 2023):

  • Minimum Age Requirement (13+): You must be at least 13 years of age (or 16 years of age in applicable European Union jurisdictions) to download, install, or use any application published by Sky Touch Media.
  • Parental or Legal Guardian Consent for Minors (Under 18): If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), you represent and warrant that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed, accepted, and consented to these Terms on your behalf prior to your use of the application.
  • Contractual Capacity: By using our services, you affirm that you have full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, or have received verifiable parental authorization. If we discover that a user under 13 has accessed our apps without verified parental consent, we will promptly revoke access and purge any associated telemetry.

3. In-App Purchases, Subscriptions & Billing Policy

Certain features, premium tools, sound packs, export formats, or ad-free tiers may require the purchase of a digital license or an auto-renewing subscription. The following billing terms apply unconditionally:

Exclusive Store Payment Processing:All in-app purchases and digital subscriptions are handled exclusively via Google Play Billing (Google Play Store) on Android devices and Apple StoreKit (App Store) on iOS devices. Sky Touch Media never directly collects, stores, or processes your credit card, debit card, or banking credentials.
Auto-Renewal Mechanism:Subscriptions automatically renew at the standard recurring rate at the conclusion of each billing period (e.g. monthly or annual) unless canceled by the user at least 24 hours prior to the end of the active billing cycle.
Subscription Management & Self-Cancellation:

You maintain full, unilateral control over your subscription at all times. You can manage, switch, or cancel your active subscription through your native app store account settings:

  • On Android: Open Google Play Store > Tap Profile Icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Select App > Cancel Subscription.
  • On iOS: Open iOS Settings > Tap your Apple ID Profile > Subscriptions > Select App > Cancel Subscription.

Upon cancellation, your premium entitlements remain active until the conclusion of the prepaid billing period. No further recurring charges will be incurred.

Strict No-Direct Refund Policy

Because all monetary payments are processed directly by platform operators (Apple Inc. and Google LLC), Sky Touch Media does not have access to your payment instruments and cannot issue direct cash, check, or manual bank refunds.

All refund requests, disputes, or chargebacks must be submitted directly through the platform where the purchase was made and are adjudicated exclusively under their official policies:
• Google Play: Google Play Refund Request Portal
• Apple App Store: Apple Report a Problem Portal

04

4. Ad-Supported Free Services & Ad Integrity Policy

Free application tiers are subsidized through digital advertising provided by vetted advertising networks (e.g. Google AdMob). Advertisements are integral to maintaining, hosting, and updating free software utilities.

Strict Anti-Tampering & Ad Bypassing Prohibition

Users are strictly prohibited from using ad-blocking software, DNS filters, modified APKs, memory editors (e.g. Lucky Patcher, GameGuardian), proxy injectors, or automated scripts to suppress, block, skip, or manipulate in-app advertisements, or to artificially unlock premium digital items without valid store authorization.

Any attempt to manipulate advertising delivery or bypass monetization triggers constitutes fraud and copyright infringement, resulting in immediate revocation of your license and permanent device blocking.

05

5. Intellectual Property Rights & Strict Prohibition of Reverse Engineering

All software, compiled binaries, APK/AAB packages, iOS ipa files, source code, visual design elements, user interfaces, branding assets, custom sound tracks, logos, and proprietary algorithms belong exclusively to Sky Touch Media (STMLabs) and are protected under Indian and international copyright, trademark, and trade secret treaties.

You expressly agree that you shall NOT, and shall not permit any third party to:
  • Decompile or Disassemble: Reverse-engineer, decompile, decrypt, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code or architectural secrets of any application binary.
  • Clone or Reproduce: Copy, clone, reproduce, create derivative works of, or distribute competing clones of our application interfaces, sound engines, or codebases.
  • Republish or Mirror: Upload, mirror, redistribute, or publish our applications on unauthorized third-party app stores, warez forums, or APK download sites.
  • Circumvent Protections: Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, digital watermarks, copyright notices, or licensing enforcement code.
06

6. User-Generated Content & Acceptable Use Policy

Where our applications enable you to generate, store, or process content (such as compressed photos, grocery lists, custom audio mixes, documents, or plant care logs):

  • Ownership of User Content: You retain full copyright and ownership of your photos, documents, and private data. We do not claim proprietary rights over your locally processed content.
  • Lawful Conduct: You agree not to use our applications to process, generate, or distribute any content that is illegal, defamatory, obscene, infringing upon third-party intellectual property, or containing malicious code or spyware.
  • Local Storage Responsibility: Since most of our utilities (such as PixShrink, ZenFocus, PlantDoc, Ration Suchi) operate on a local-first SQLite architecture, you are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your files and device storage.
07

7. User-Initiated Account & Data Deletion (Google Play & DPDP 2023)

In strict compliance with Google Play Store 2026 Data Deletion Policy and the India DPDP Act 2023, you hold an absolute statutory right to delete your data or revoke app permissions at any time:

10

10. Force Majeure & Service Unavailability

Sky Touch Media shall not be held liable or responsible for any failure, delay, or disruption in the performance of our obligations, in-app services, or cloud synchronization resulting directly or indirectly from acts, events, or omissions beyond our reasonable control ("Force Majeure Event").
