These Terms and Conditions apply to the sPictle app (“Application”), a mobile device application developed by Ignacio Gil Alvarez (“Service Provider”) as an Ad Supported service. By downloading or using the Application, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. It is strongly advised that you read and understand these terms before using the Application.
Unauthorized use, copying, or modification of the Application, any part of it, or our trademarks is strictly prohibited. Attempts to reverse engineer, extract the source code, translate, or create derivative versions of the Application are not allowed. All intellectual property rights in and to the Application are the property of the Service Provider and are protected by law.
The Service Provider reserves the right to modify the Application or charge for its services at any time and for any reason, after providing notice to you. Any changes to charges or functionalities will be clearly communicated to you.
The Application stores and processes personal data that you have provided in order to enhance the service offered. It is your responsibility to secure your device and access to the Application. We advise against jailbreaking or rooting your device, as these actions can lead to security vulnerabilities and affect the Application’s functionality.
The Application utilizes services provided by third parties, which have their own Terms and Conditions:
You are responsible for reviewing and complying with these terms.
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the Application for reasons including, but not limited to, violation of these terms, spamming, harassment, or abuse towards other users. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Application immediately.
Users may upload content, such as images or text, to the Application. When uploading content, you will be presented with options to control who can view each piece of content. By choosing to share content publicly, you grant a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to us to use this content in connection with the Application, for promotional purposes related to the Application, and on the Application’s associated website, spictle.com, as well as to incorporate it into features such as city or monument information panels within the Application.
Once the content is used in these features, the license becomes irrevocable for that specific use, meaning that even if you later decide to stop sharing the content publicly, it may continue to be used in the parts of the Application where it has been incorporated prior to such change. The visibility of your content elsewhere is governed by the settings you choose at the time of sharing.
If you choose to delete the content from your account or revoke the sharing permission, we will cease using the content for new purposes as soon as reasonably possible. However, any usage of the content made prior to the revocation of permission may not be removed from features where it has been incorporated, reflecting the ongoing nature of the content’s integration into the Application.
The Application is supported by advertising, and future updates may introduce paid features, which will be clearly outlined and subject to additional terms.
The Application displays third-party content, including information about travel destinations. We do not guarantee the accuracy of this content and are not liable for errors or inaccuracies.
Data is stored locally on your device and synced to cloud servers when there is an internet connection. We are not responsible for data loss or discrepancies due to syncing issues or delays in data uploads before device changes.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your device is charged and capable of running the Application. We are not responsible for issues that arise from your device’s inability to maintain adequate power or perform necessary updates.
While we strive to ensure the information provided through the Application is accurate, we rely on third parties for this data and thus cannot guarantee its accuracy. We accept no liability for losses incurred as a result of reliance on the Application’s content.
The Service Provider may from time to time develop updates for the Application to improve, enhance, or modify the service. These updates are subject to the operating system compatibility and other technical requirements. You agree to accept and install all available updates to continue using the Application. The Service Provider does not guarantee that updates will always be issued or will be compatible with your device configuration.
The Service Provider may discontinue the Application or any part of it without prior notice for any reason, including but not limited to business or operational reasons. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Application and uninstall it from your device. Any termination will result in the discontinuation of your access to the services provided by the Application, and the rights and licenses granted to you will end.
If the Application is discontinued all user data will be deleted in accordance with our data retention policy.
You may stop using the Application at any time. If you choose to uninstall the Application, you may do so using the standard uninstall processes available as part of your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network. Uninstalling the Application does not automatically delete your user account or the personal data associated with it from our servers.
Data Deletion upon Uninstallation: If you wish to delete your user account and associated personal data upon uninstalling the Application, you must specifically request this deletion through the Application settings.
