AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSORS AND AFFILIATES AND ALL OTHER PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE APP, ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICES, THE OPERATION OF THE APP, OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, OR MATERIALS INCLUDED THEREIN.

Photo Deletion
The App requires access to the user’s Photo Library to function but you explicitly decide whether to grant access to all photos, a selection of photos, or to not grant access. Zoom Compare includes a feature that allows you to delete photos from your Photo Library. When you choose to delete a photo:
- Your device will ask you to confirm each deletion before it is carried out. No photos are deleted without your explicit confirmation.
- Deleted photos are moved to “Recently Deleted” on your device and are typically recoverable for approximately 30 days, after which your device permanently removes them. The exact retention period is determined by your device and operating system, not by us.
- We do not guarantee the App is error-free. While we take reasonable care to ensure the App functions correctly, we are not responsible for any unintended deletions, data loss, or other consequences arising from the use of the photo deletion feature.
- You are solely responsible for verifying which photos you delete. We strongly recommend reviewing your “Recently Deleted” folder promptly after using the deletion feature.
- We are not liable for any loss of photos, data, or memories resulting from your use of the photo deletion feature, whether caused by user error, device malfunction, software bugs, or any other reason.
By using the photo deletion feature, you acknowledge and accept these risks.
16. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING. CERTAIN LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
17. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your use of the Services; (2) breach of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms; (4) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (5) any harmful act toward any other user of the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.
18. USER DATA
The App processes your photos and photo metadata locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal data or photos. Any data generated or stored by the App remains exclusively on your device.

General Provisions
These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us.

We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control.

There is no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them.

You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Legal Terms as they relate to your license of the App, and that, upon your acceptance of these Legal Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Legal Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
