These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and Mondrus CCS Inc ("Company", "we", "us", "our") governing your use of the Houd mobile application and any related services (collectively, the "App").

You retain full ownership of all photos, videos, and other files you sync using the App. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to the content you sync and that doing so does not violate any third-party rights, laws, or regulations.
Houd requires certain device permissions (media access, location for Wi-Fi detection, notifications, etc.) to function. By granting these permissions, you acknowledge that they are necessary for the App to operate as described. You can revoke permissions at any time through your device settings, though doing so may prevent certain features from working.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the server credentials (usernames, passwords) you enter in the App. Mondrus CCS Inc strongly recommends using dedicated, limited-privilege credentials for network storage access.
Houd does not currently require you to create an account with Mondrus CCS Inc. All configuration data is stored locally on your device. If account functionality is introduced in the future, additional terms may apply.
Certain features of the App may require a paid subscription or one-time in-app purchase. Prices and feature availability are displayed in the App and/or in the applicable app store (e.g., Google Play).
All purchases are processed through the applicable platform billing system: Google Play Billing (Android) or Apple In-App Purchase (iOS). By making a purchase, you agree to the billing terms and policies of the respective platform. Mondrus CCS Inc does not process or store your payment information.
If a free trial is offered, it will convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial expires.
Refund requests are handled in accordance with the applicable platform's refund policy: Google Play's refund policy (Android) or Apple's refund policy (iOS). You may also contact us at contact@garny.io for assistance.
The free version of the App may display advertisements served by Google AdMob and other third-party advertising networks. By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that:
We are not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements. If you encounter an ad you believe violates applicable laws or policies, please report it to us at contact@garny.io.

We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date, by posting a notice in the App, or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms remain in effect until terminated. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App at our sole discretion, without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or for any other legitimate business reason.
You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App from your device. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any paid fees except as required by applicable law.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8, 10, 11, 14, and 15) shall continue to apply after termination.

Nothing in Section 14.3 prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in court for intellectual property infringement or unauthorized access to data.
If you are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, nothing in these Terms affects your rights under applicable consumer protection laws, including the right to bring claims before a competent court in your country of residence.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mondrus CCS Inc with respect to the App and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights to any affiliate or successor without restriction.
Mondrus CCS Inc will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, natural disasters, pandemics, or governmental actions.
These Terms are provided in English. In the event of any inconsistency between a translated version and the English version, the English version shall prevail.
