Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using FaceLock Vault ("the Application" or "the App"), developed and published by Orbit Tech Lab ("we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not install or use the Application.

2. Description of Service & Architecture

FaceLock Vault provides an encrypted, local software container for storing sensitive photos, videos, documents, and text notes on supported Android devices running Android 8.0 (API 26) or higher.

The Application is delivered as a 100% offline tool. It does not require or support cloud accounts, remote servers, or external network connectivity.

3. Honest Biometric Capabilities & Limitations

We believe in complete transparency regarding cryptographic and biometric capabilities:

• App-Level Lock Only: FaceLock Vault locks and encrypts items stored inside this application. It does not replace your Android device system lock screen or system-level security.
• 2D Camera Face Recognition: Face matching uses the device front camera and on-device machine learning (MobileFaceNet). While our anti-spoofing liveness engine (blinking, rotation, smiling) prevents simple static printed photo attacks, 2D facial recognition cannot match the physical security of hardware-grade 3D structured light or fingerprint sensors.
• Master PIN as Foundation: Facial recognition is provided as a fast biometric convenience layer. The master PIN and Android Keystore remain the primary root of encryption.

4. User Responsibility for Credentials & Backups

Because FaceLock Vault operates without cloud servers, backdoors, or telemetry:

• PIN and Recovery Key Custody: You are solely responsible for memorizing your 6-digit Master PIN and safeguarding your 24-word offline recovery phrase generated during setup.
• Zero Recovery by Developer: Orbit Tech Lab does not possess master keys or bypass mechanisms. If you forget your PIN and misplace your recovery phrase, your vault content cannot be recovered.
• Independent Data Backups: FaceLock Vault is a privacy vault, not an archival cloud backup service. Users are strongly advised to keep independent, secure backups of vital personal documents.

5. License & Intellectual Property

Orbit Tech Lab grants you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to download, install, and use FaceLock Vault on compatible Android devices owned or controlled by you for personal, non-commercial purposes.

All trademarks, logos, visual assets, and proprietary code associated with FaceLock Vault are the exclusive property of Orbit Tech Lab or its licensors.

6. Permitted and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use FaceLock Vault in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You agree not to:

• Decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the Application, except to the extent permitted by applicable law.
• Use the Application to store illegal or unlawful material under applicable jurisdiction.
• Attempt to circumvent security boundaries, sandbox restrictions, or cryptographic mechanisms.

7. Data Deletion and App Removal

You may terminate your use of the Application and delete all associated data at any time via Settings > Delete All Data (typing "DELETE" to confirm) or by uninstalling the Application from your device. Detailed steps are provided in our Data Deletion Policy.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

FACELOCK VAULT IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATION WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE OF VULNERABILITIES.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ORBIT TECH LAB, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, DEVICE DAMAGE, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS RESULTING FROM FORGOTTEN CREDENTIALS OR DEVICE THEFT.

10. Governing Law and Severability

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity of any remaining provisions.
