Terms of Service

Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the websites operated by PawByteLabs (such as pawbytelabs.com), our mobile applications distributed through app stores (including our wallpaper app for Android, com.pawbytelabs.wallpaper), and related online or offline features that link to these Terms (collectively, the "Services"). "PawByteLabs," "we," "us," and "our" refer to PawByteLabs and its affiliates involved in providing the Services.

Please read these Terms carefully together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal information. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.

1. The Services

Sole offer. We offer to provide the Services as they exist from time to time, until we modify or discontinue them in accordance with these Terms.

"As is" and "as available." Except where prohibited by law, the Services and all content, software, and materials made available through them are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any information will be accurate or complete.

Changes. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services, impose limits, or restrict access at any time. Where required by applicable law, we will provide notice in an appropriate manner (for example, in-app notice or posting on our website).

Features. The Services may include live, parallax, video, 3D, or other wallpaper experiences; optional lock-screen or overlay-style features; content browsing; advertising; analytics; and other tools we may add or remove over time. Specific features can vary by platform, device, and app version.

2. Eligibility and regional availability

You may not use the Services if you are under 13 years of age (or the minimum digital consent age in your country, if higher). If you are not old enough to enter a binding contract where you live, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

The Services are operated from various locations and may not be appropriate or available in all countries. You are responsible for complying with local laws when you access the Services from outside your home jurisdiction.

3. Accounts (if offered)

Some features may require you to create an account or provide identifiers. If we offer accounts, you agree to: provide accurate, current, and complete information; maintain and update it; maintain the security of your credentials; use only one account per person where required; and accept responsibility for all activity under your account. You must not transfer, sell, or share your account without our prior consent. Notify us promptly at feedback@pawbytelabs.com if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law.

4. Your content and license to us

You may provide or select content through the Services (for example, images, videos, or other media from your device used as wallpapers or previews). You retain ownership of your content. You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed for such content and that it does not violate these Terms or any third-party rights.

To the extent necessary to operate the features you choose, you grant PawByteLabs a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, store, display, and transmit your content solely for providing, securing, and improving the Services for you, consistent with our Privacy Policy. Unless we expressly state otherwise (for example, a feature that uploads content to our servers with your clear consent), many processing steps occur on your device as described in the Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for your content and the consequences of sharing or using it. We may remove or restrict content where required by law or if we reasonably believe it violates these Terms.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Services. Without limitation, you must not:

• Violate applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights (including intellectual property, privacy, and publicity).
• Upload, generate, or use content that is unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, harassing, defamatory, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, or that exploits or harms minors.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Services, servers, or networks; circumvent security; or access non-public areas without authorization.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble our software except where applicable law expressly permits.
• Use unauthorized third-party tools, bots, scrapers, or automation to access or extract data from the Services in bulk, except as allowed by applicable law.
• Send spam, phishing, malware, or engage in commercial solicitation without our written consent.
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or use the Services to build a competing product through misuse of our interfaces.

We may investigate violations and take action including warnings, removing content, limiting features, suspending or terminating access, and cooperating with law enforcement where appropriate.

6. Intellectual property

PawByteLabs and its licensors own all rights in the Services, including software, branding, logos, text, graphics, and other materials, subject to open-source licenses where applicable. Except as expressly allowed in these Terms or by law, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works from the Services or our branding.

If you provide feedback or suggestions about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback without obligation to you.

7. Copyright complaints

If you believe content available through the Services infringes your copyright, you may send a notice to feedback@pawbytelabs.com including: (a) identification of the copyrighted work; (b) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner. We may remove or disable access to material in appropriate circumstances. Misrepresentations in notices can carry legal liability.

8. Third parties, advertising, and linked sites

The Services may display advertisements and integrate third-party SDKs, networks, or links (for example, ad mediation, analytics, or app store billing). Those third parties may collect information subject to their own terms and privacy policies. Your dealings with advertisers or other third parties are solely between you and them. We are not responsible for third-party content, products, or services, and a link does not imply endorsement.

9. Purchases and app-store terms

If you purchase digital items, subscriptions, or other paid features through a platform such as Google Play, your transaction is also governed by that platform's terms and payment policies. Pricing, taxes, renewals, and cancellations are handled according to the applicable store rules. To the extent allowed by law, fees are non-refundable except as required by the store or mandatory consumer law.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PawByteLabs and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for claims arising out of the Services is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Services giving rise to the claim in the twelve (12) months before the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (USD $50). Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so (including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence, where applicable).

11. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PawByteLabs and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your content, your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, pose a security risk, or must do so to comply with law. You may stop using the Services at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law) will survive termination.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that mandatory consumer protection laws of the country where you habitually reside may apply to you and may not be waived by contract.

Unless mandatory law requires otherwise, you and PawByteLabs agree that the courts located in the jurisdiction where PawByteLabs's principal place of business is situated shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Services. If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may also benefit from mandatory rights to bring proceedings in your country of residence.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability or choice of law; in those cases, the minimum protections required by law apply.

14. General

• Changes. We may modify these Terms. We will post the updated Terms and revise the "Last updated" date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required by law. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance unless applicable law requires explicit consent.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and PawByteLabs regarding the Services.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice where required by law.
• Severability. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
• No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our rights.
