Terms of Service — QR Secure Scan

Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Mert Burak Dervisoglu ("we", "us", or "our") governing your use of the mobile application QR Secure Scan and its related features (the "App"). By downloading, installing, accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Consumers. If you are a consumer resident in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Türkiye, nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights you have under the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country, and any term that conflicts with those rights does not apply to you. See "Your Statutory Consumer Rights" below.

Eligibility & Age

You must be old enough to form a binding contract and to consent to the processing of your data in your country (generally at least 13, and up to 16 in parts of the EEA). If you are a minor, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms and is responsible for your use of the App.

License to Use the App

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable license to download and use the App on a device that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with the usage rules of the app store from which you obtained it (Google Play and/or the Apple App Store).

You may not, except to the extent permitted by applicable law: copy, modify or create derivative works of the App; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it; rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense it; or remove any proprietary notices.

Scanning, Links & Security Warnings

The App reads QR codes and barcodes and may display, open or act on their content (such as websites, Wi-Fi credentials, contact details or other data). Any security analysis or warning the App provides about scanned content is informational and heuristic only, is provided without warranty, and is not a guarantee that a link or destination is safe or unsafe.

You are solely responsible for deciding whether to open links, connect to networks, save contacts or otherwise act on data obtained from scanned codes. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, legality or safety of any third-party code, website, network or resource you access through the App.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to attempt to:

Use the App for any unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose, or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
Interfere with, disrupt, overload or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App or any systems or networks connected to it;
Use bots, automation or unauthorized software to manipulate the App;
Reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
Infringe our or any third party's intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
Resell, commercially exploit, or use the App other than as permitted by these Terms.

Intellectual Property

The App and all of its content — including code, design, graphics, audio, text and trademarks — are owned by Mert Burak Dervisoglu or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license granted above, these Terms do not transfer any right, title or interest to you, and you may not use our names, logos or trademarks without our prior written permission.

Availability, Updates & Changes to the App

We may modify, update, suspend or discontinue the App or any feature (including online services or content) at any time, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by law. The App may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, updates, or factors beyond our control. We are not liable to you for any modification, suspension or discontinuation of the App, except as required by applicable law.

Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or any account, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms or applicable law, or to protect the App, other users or our rights. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.

Upon termination for your breach, your license ends and you may lose access to other content without refund or compensation, to the extent permitted by law. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and dispute resolution) will continue to apply.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranty that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or that data will not be lost. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you, and you may have additional statutory rights.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Mert Burak Dervisoglu and its officers, employees and suppliers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, revenue, goodwill or anticipated savings, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us for the App in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any breach of mandatory statutory consumer guarantees.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mert Burak Dervisoglu from and against any claims, liabilities, damages and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms or applicable law, or your infringement of any third-party right. This section does not apply to consumers to the extent prohibited by mandatory law.

Your Statutory Consumer Rights

If you are a consumer resident in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Türkiye, you benefit from mandatory rights under your local consumer-protection law (in Türkiye, Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection; in the EU, the Consumer Rights Directive and the Unfair Terms Directive). These may include a statutory legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services and, for paid digital content, a right of withdrawal (subject to the conditions and exceptions in that law). Nothing in these Terms removes or limits those rights, and any conflicting term does not apply to you.

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the competent courts and enforcement offices of the Republic of Türkiye have jurisdiction — except that, if you are a consumer, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection law and the competent authorities (including consumer arbitration committees/courts) of your country of residence, which take precedence where applicable.

United States users only: to the extent permitted by law, any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration on a non-class basis, and you and we waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. This paragraph does not apply to consumers in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Türkiye, who may bring claims only as permitted by their local law.

The EU Online Dispute Resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr for eligible EU consumers.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and material changes will be notified by reasonable means where required. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms; where the law requires, we will seek your affirmative consent.

General

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in full force.
Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any applicable store terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them, for example in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
Language. Where a translation is provided for convenience, the English version prevails to the extent permitted by law, except where your local consumer law requires otherwise.

Additional Terms for Apple Devices

The following applies if you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, and prevails over any conflicting term for use on Apple devices:

Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the App.
In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims are Mert Burak Dervisoglu's responsibility.
Mert Burak Dervisoglu, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, legal/regulatory, and consumer-protection claims.

You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
