Terms of Use

Welcome to Scruby ("Scruby," "the App," "Service"). These Terms of Service (this "Agreement") are a legally binding agreement between you and Tarfion Ltd, Griva Digeni, 59, Kaimakliotis Building, 5th Floor, 6043 Larnaca, Cyprus ("Company," "we," "us"), under these Terms of Use ("Terms"), whether you act in your personal capacity or as a representative of a company or other entity ("User"). governing your use of the App. Read this Agreement carefully before you use the Service.

By downloading or using the app you accept them. If you don’t, please don’t use the app. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

If you downloaded the app from the App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where it conflicts with these terms, these terms win to the extent Apple allows.

Eligibility

Notice: this is a legally binding agreement. If you don't understand or agree to it, don't use the App. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under local law that this Agreement can't waive; where any clause here is unenforceable against you, the rest of the Agreement still applies. You confirm you are at least 18 years old, or if you are younger, that you're using the App with a parent's or legal guardian's approval and that they accept these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly allow use of Scruby by children below that age.

Parents and guardians: by letting your child use the App, you agree to these Terms on their behalf and are responsible for supervising their use of it. If you believe a child is using the App without your approval, contact us at [email protected].

1. What the app does

The app helps you free up space on your device: it finds duplicate, similar and blurry photos, bursts, screenshots and similar screenshots, similar and large videos, and duplicate contacts, lets you review them and deletes or merges what you choose. It can compress videos, convert Live Photos (on iPhone) and motion photos (on Android) to still photos, read the text on screenshots to keep useful details, and keep private photos and videos in a protected Secret Library.

It also offers charging animations. On iPhone, a charging animation plays when a Shortcuts automation that you set up yourself in Apple’s Shortcuts app opens the app as your iPhone starts charging; that automation runs under Apple’s control, not ours, so we can’t guarantee when or whether it triggers.

2. You decide what gets deleted

The app suggests; you decide. Nothing is deleted without your confirmation, and the system asks once more before photos or videos are removed. Deleted photos and videos go to the Recently Deleted album on iPhone or the Trash on Android, where the system keeps them for 30 days. Merging contacts works differently: once you confirm a merge in the app, the merged contact replaces the originals in your device’s Contacts straight away. There is no system confirmation and no Recently Deleted or Trash for contacts, so a merge can’t be undone from the app. Before merging, the app offers to export a backup file (.vcf) of your contacts; keeping that file safe is up to you, as we don’t keep a copy.

Suggestions are made automatically and can be wrong: a “similar” photo may matter to you, and text read from a screenshot may contain mistakes. Please look before you confirm, and keep backups of anything important (for example in iCloud Photos or Google Photos). Photos and videos you move into the Secret Library are stored inside the app on your device, protected by your PIN (and Face ID or your phone’s fingerprint or face unlock, if you turn it on); they are not uploaded to us or synced to any cloud by the app, and we can’t see or restore them. If you forget your PIN, the only option is a reset that permanently erases the Secret Library. Deleting the app deletes the Secret Library from your device. Like other app data, it may be included in your device backups (for example iCloud, Google or computer backups), so it can come back if you restore your device from such a backup.

3. Subscription

Paid Access and Subscriptions. Certain features of the Service available through the Scruby App are offered on a paid basis and may require the purchase of a Subscription. Some Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Use of the Service solely through our mobile application does not require a paid Subscription or other payment.

Before you confirm a purchase, we will present the material terms of the offer, including the price and applicable currency, billing interval, automatic renewal terms (if applicable), any trial or introductory conditions, and the amount to be charged upon renewal. Additional terms governing Subscriptions, including recurring billing, renewals, trials, price changes, and cancellation procedures, are set out in our Subscription Policy.

Payment and Additional Charges. You agree to pay the amounts presented to you at checkout, together with any applicable taxes disclosed before you complete the purchase. Your financial institution or payment service provider may apply additional charges, such as foreign transaction or currency conversion fees. These charges are determined and collected by the relevant third party and are outside our control.

Refunds. Except where a refund is expressly available under these Terms, a specific offer or guarantee, or applicable law, payments made directly to us are generally final and non-refundable once processed. Cancellation of a Subscription prevents charges for future renewal periods but does not normally entitle you to reimbursement of fees already paid or charged. Purchases that are processed by Apple or Google, and refund requests go to them under their policies.

4. Your account

An account is optional. If you create one, keep your password safe and tell us if you think someone else is using your account. You can delete your account in the app at any time (Settings → Account → Delete Account).

You are free to stop using the Service at any time. However, Subscription cancellation and Account deletion are separate actions.

Canceling a Subscription prevents it from renewing for a subsequent billing period but does not automatically delete your Account or the Content connected with it. Similarly, requesting deletion of your Account does not automatically cancel an active Subscription. If you have an active Subscription, you should cancel it separately in accordance with the applicable cancellation process.

You can request deletion of your Account through the Profile section of the mobile application or by contacting our Support Team at [email protected].

Deletion of an Account does not necessarily require the immediate deletion of all information associated with it. We may retain limited information after Account deletion where retention is required or otherwise permitted under applicable law, including for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations, fraud prevention, security, billing and payment administration, establishment or resolution of legal claims and disputes, and applicable backup or record-retention processes. Further information about our retention practices is available in our Privacy Policy.

5. Acceptable use

You may use the app only for your own personal, non-commercial purposes and only with content you have the right to manage. Don’t try to copy, modify, reverse engineer or resell the app, get around its subscription checks, interfere with our servers, or use the app in breach of any law.

6. Our rights in the app

The app, its design, the character Scruby, the artwork and the brand belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, under these terms and the store’s rules. Your photos, videos and contacts remain yours; we claim no rights in them.

7. Changes and availability

We improve the app over time and may add, change or remove features. We try to keep it working but cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors. We may stop offering the app; if we do while you have an active subscription, the store’s refund rules apply.

8. Disclaimer

The app is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that the app will find every duplicate or free a particular amount of space.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, photos, contacts or profits, arising from your use of the app — including items you chose to delete or merge. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

10. Ending these terms

You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it (and your account, if you have one). We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms. Sections 6, 8, 9 and 11 survive.

11. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Cyprus, and disputes go to its courts, except where the consumer law of your country gives you the right to bring a claim where you live or to rely on its mandatory protections.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will change the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell you in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use the app afterwards means you accept the updated terms.
