Terms of Service

1. Who you are agreeing with

This website and the associated Android wallpaper applications are operated by Volodya Avetisyan, an independent developer, as a personal project. Throughout this document "the site" means vavetisyan.site including all language versions, "the apps" means the Android applications published under the developer account linked above, and "we" and "I" both refer to the operator. Contact details are on the Contact page.

2. Acceptance of these terms

By browsing the site or installing and using any of the apps, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, the appropriate response is to stop using the site and uninstall the apps. Your use of the apps is additionally subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, which apply to every app distributed through that store and which take precedence over these terms where they conflict.

3. Eligibility

The site and apps are general-audience products but are not directed at children. They are not intended for use by anyone under 13 years of age, and no personal information is knowingly collected from children under 13. See the Privacy Policy for detail.

4. What the site provides

The site provides editorial articles, information pages about each app theme with preview galleries, and small browser-based tools. The site does not host downloadable wallpaper files. The wallpapers are delivered inside their respective Google Play apps, where they are prepared at appropriate sizes for modern phone screens. The preview images on the theme pages are exactly that — previews, at web resolution, intended to show what a collection contains. Any page implying otherwise is an error and should be reported.

The browser tools run entirely on your own device. Any image you open in them is processed locally in your browser and is never uploaded to this site or to anyone else. The tools are provided for general guidance: the battery calculator in particular produces an estimate from stated assumptions, not a measurement of your specific handset, and the display database records manufacturer specifications that may be revised or may differ between regional variants.

5. Licence to use the wallpapers

Subject to these terms, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the wallpapers supplied through the apps as backgrounds on devices you own or control. That is the whole of the permission granted. In particular, you may not:

• redistribute, resell, sublicense or otherwise make the images available to others, whether or not for payment;
• include the images in another application, wallpaper pack, website, print product or merchandise;
• use the images for commercial, promotional or advertising purposes;
• extract images in bulk from the apps or this site by automated means, including scrapers and crawlers acting outside the limits set in robots.txt;
• claim authorship of, or assert rights over, any image supplied through the apps.

Some images are licensed from third parties for use within the apps. That licence covers use in the apps and does not pass through to you beyond the personal-use permission described above, which is why individual files can't be supplied on request.

6. Articles, text and design

The articles, tool interfaces, page text and layout are original work and remain the property of the operator. You're welcome to quote short passages for commentary, criticism or reference provided you attribute them and link to the source page. Republishing an article in full, translating it and publishing the translation, or using the text to train or fine-tune a model without permission is not covered by that allowance.

7. Reporting a copyright concern

If you own rights in material you believe is used improperly on the site or in an app, contact me with the specific URL or the app name and screen, a description of the work, and evidence that you hold the rights. Material subject to a credible claim is removed while the claim is examined. Deliberately false claims waste time that would otherwise go to genuine ones.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or its underlying systems, to interfere with its operation, to introduce malicious code, to reverse-engineer the apps except where local law expressly permits it, or to use the site or apps in breach of any applicable law.

9. Advertising

The site and the apps carry advertising, which is what pays for hosting and development. Ads on the site are served by third-party networks including Google AdSense; those networks select and deliver the ads, and their use of cookies and similar technologies is described in the Privacy Policy. Advertisements are not endorsements: an ad appearing next to an article says nothing about the advertiser and does not influence what the article says. Editorial content on this site is not paid for, sponsored, or supplied by any third party.

10. Links to other sites

The site links to third-party pages — Google Play listings, research papers, manufacturer documentation. Those sites are not under my control and I'm not responsible for their content, their accuracy over time, or their privacy practices. A link is a pointer, not a warranty.

11. Availability and changes

The site and apps are provided on an "as available" basis. Pages, tools, apps and individual wallpapers may be changed, suspended or withdrawn at any time — for example when a licence ends, when an app is retired, or when an article is rewritten. No guarantee is made that the site or any app will be available without interruption or free of errors.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

The site, the apps and the tools are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Information published on the site is offered in good faith and checked before publication, but it is general information rather than professional advice, and display and battery behaviour varies between devices.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the operator is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special loss arising from your use of the site or the apps, including loss of data or device problems. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it cannot lawfully be excluded — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Where liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, it is limited to the amount you paid to access the site or apps, which for free products is zero.

14. Feedback

Suggestions, bug reports and theme ideas sent to me may be acted on without obligation, payment or attribution, and without creating any confidentiality obligation. Please don't send anything you consider confidential or that you'd expect to be compensated for.

15. Governing law

These terms are to be read in accordance with applicable law. Nothing in them deprives you of the protection given by the mandatory consumer-law provisions of your country of residence, and where any provision here conflicts with those protections, those protections prevail.

16. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, that provision is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in full effect.

17. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated to reflect changes to the site, the apps, or legal requirements. The revised version is posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Continuing to use the site or apps after a change means you accept the revised terms; if you don't, stop using them.
