Terms of Use

Last updated: May 22, 2026 · Applies to PhotoPure for macOS, iOS & iPadOS

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using PhotoPure ("the Application"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Application. These terms apply to PhotoPure for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

2. License Grant

Subject to these Terms, the developer grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Application for your personal, non-commercial purposes on devices you own or control. This license does not include the right to sublicense, sell, resell, modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, disassemble, or create derivative works based on the Application.

3. Application Behavior

macOS

The Application identifies duplicate and visually similar files in the folder you select. Identified duplicates are moved to a subfolder named "duplicate" within your selected directory. Files are not permanently deleted by the Application. The user is solely responsible for reviewing and managing moved files. The developer recommends maintaining backups of all files before use.

iOS & iPadOS

The Application identifies duplicate and similar photos in your system photo library. Identified duplicates are removed via Apple's PHPhotoLibrary API upon your explicit confirmation. Removed photos are placed in Apple's "Recently Deleted" album and may be permanently deleted by the system after 30 days. The developer strongly recommends backing up your photo library (via iCloud, iTunes/Finder, or a third-party backup service) before using the Application.

4. No Warranty — "As Is" Disclaimer

THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. The developer does not warrant that the Application will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that duplicate detection results will be 100% accurate in every case. Duplicate detection is based on algorithmic analysis; the user is responsible for reviewing results before confirming any deletion or move operation.

5. Pricing — Developer's Right to Modify

The developer reserves the right to change the price of the Application, including any in-app purchases or subscription tiers, at any time and without prior notice. All pricing changes are subject to and governed by Apple's App Store policies. The current price at the time of your purchase is the price you pay for that transaction; future pricing changes apply to future purchases only. Continued use of the Application after a pricing change for a subscription constitutes acceptance of the new pricing upon your next renewal cycle, subject to Apple's App Store terms.

6. Intellectual Property

The Application, including all code, design, algorithms, AI engine, user interface, graphics, and associated intellectual property, is owned by the developer (Onur Yaşar) and protected by applicable copyright, trade secret, and intellectual property laws of Turkey, the United States, the European Union, and other jurisdictions. The name "PhotoPure," the logo, and associated branding are proprietary. You may not use them without written permission from the developer.

The custom AI engine embedded in the Application was designed and built by the developer. It is not a licensed third-party AI service. All rights to the AI engine and its methodology are reserved by the developer.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF PHOTOS OR FILES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APPLICATION — EVEN IF THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

PhotoPure is offered as a one-time purchase or as a free download. The developer's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the Application shall not exceed: (i) the one-time amount you paid for the Application at the time of purchase; or (ii) if the Application was obtained free of charge, the minimum amount permitted by applicable law. No recurring or subscription-based liability applies.

8. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

  • Reviewing the Application's results before confirming any deletion or move operation
  • Maintaining adequate backups of your photos and files
  • Ensuring you have the necessary rights and permissions to the photos you process
  • Any use of the Application that is inconsistent with these Terms

9. App Store Terms

The Application is distributed through the Apple App Store. Your use of the Application is also subject to Apple's App Store Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Apple's terms, Apple's terms shall govern with respect to matters within Apple's purview (payments, refunds, account management). The developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Application and its content.

Refund requests must be submitted through Apple's standard App Store refund process. The developer has no ability to issue refunds directly outside of Apple's systems.

10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Turkey, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. For users located in the European Union, mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence may additionally apply.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Application shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Istanbul, Turkey, except where mandatory local law requires otherwise.

For users in the United States: to the extent permitted by law, any claim must be brought in your individual capacity and not as a class member in any class or representative proceeding. Both parties waive any right to a jury trial.

11. Modifications to Terms

The developer reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be published at this URL (photopure.onuryasar.org/terms.html) with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Application after the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Termination

The developer may terminate or suspend your access to the Application at any time, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you violate these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Application ceases immediately.
