Home Inventory AI — Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Prachi, the developer of Home Inventory AI (the "app"). By downloading, installing or using the app, you agree to these Terms and to the app's privacy policy, which explains how your data is handled. If you do not agree, please do not use the app — no hard feelings.

You must be at least 13 years old (or the higher minimum age required in your country) to use the app.

Home Inventory AI is published on Google Play by Prachi, an independent developer trading as elevatedevco ("we", "us"). We act as a trader for the purposes of consumer law in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, and we have declared trader status for this app in Google Play Console.

Our verified trader details — the developer name, postal address and contact phone number Google holds on file — are shown on this app's Google Play listing under "App support", as Google Play requires for traders. You can also ask us for them by email at any time.

Email is our support channel: write to support@elevatedev.co.in and the reply comes from the developer, usually within 1–2 business days. There is no call centre and no live chat.

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Home Inventory on Android devices you own or control, for your own personal use, in accordance with these Terms and Google Play's terms.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, sublicense, decompile or reverse-engineer the app or any part of it, except where such a restriction is not permitted by applicable law. The app, its design and its code remain the property of Prachi.

Your data is a different matter entirely: everything you enter into the app — items, photos, documents, values and notes — is yours. Your catalog is stored on your device, you can export or delete it at any time, and the limited server-side data behind the AI features (your account and credit ledger) can be deleted at any time too (see "Your Account & Google Sign-In").

The core inventory app works without an account. The AI features (identify an item from a photo, scan an invoice, and ask your inventory) require signing in with a Google account; your Google email identifies your credit balance and usage records.

• You are responsible for the security of your Google account and for activity that occurs through it in the app.
• One account per person, used on your own devices. Creating multiple accounts, or using multiple devices or identities, to obtain extra free credits is prohibited.
• You may sign out at any time, and you may delete your server-side data using the in-app "Delete my data" option (Settings → Help & FAQ) or by emailing support@elevatedev.co.in (see the app's privacy policy).

AI features consume credits — a virtual, in-app unit that we may grant (for example, trial credits) or that you can earn by watching optional rewarded ads. Credits exist so that AI features can be offered free of charge. You agree that:

• Credits are a limited, revocable license to use AI features — not property, currency or a stored-value instrument. They have no cash or monetary value.
• Credits are non-transferable (they cannot be sold, gifted, exchanged or moved between accounts) and non-refundable, and cannot be redeemed for money or anything of value outside the app.
• AI usage is subject to daily and other fair-use caps, which keep the service free and available to everyone.
• We may change credit costs per AI action, earning rates, caps and the mechanics of the credit system at any time, and may adjust or remove balances that were obtained through fraud, abuse or error.
• If the service or the credit system is discontinued, unused credits simply expire; because credits are free to earn and have no cash value, no compensation is owed.

Home Inventory's AI features are funded by optional rewarded video ads served by Google AdMob.

• Rewarded ads are optional: an ad plays only when you choose to watch one to earn credits. Ads never interrupt your cataloguing.
• Credits are granted after server-side verification confirms the ad was genuinely completed. If verification fails (for example, the ad was skipped, blocked or simulated), no credit is granted.
• Ad availability depends on Google AdMob and your region; we do not guarantee that an ad will always be available to watch.
• Attempting to earn credits through automation, emulators, ad-fraud tools, VPN or location manipulation, or any artificial means is prohibited and may result in removal of credits and termination (see "Acceptable Use" and "Termination").
• Ads are served by Google AdMob under Google's terms; consent for personalized ads is collected where required (see the app's privacy policy).

AI helps you catalog faster — you own the final word. Always review AI output before relying on it.

• AI-generated results (an item's identity and details, the line items read from an invoice, and answers about your inventory) are produced by an AI model. They may be inaccurate, incomplete or misread — for example, a wrong model number, price or category, or a misread receipt.
• You must review and correct AI output before relying on it. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of your inventory records and of anything you use them for.
• AI output is not an appraisal and not insurance, legal, financial or other professional advice (see "A Tool, Not Professional Advice").
• "Ask your inventory" answers are generated from the records the app sends for your question; they can be wrong or out of date, and are not a substitute for checking the underlying records.

Home Inventory AI is an organisational tool that helps you record and value your belongings. Any value estimates, depreciation figures, totals and insurance reports the app produces are informational only. They are not professional appraisals or valuations, and they are not insurance, legal, financial or other professional advice.

Always confirm item values and your actual insurance coverage with your insurer or a qualified professional before relying on them for a claim or any other decision. The app does not file claims, provide coverage, or guarantee that any report will be accepted by an insurer.

You are responsible for how you use the app and for the information you enter. In particular:

• Check the app's output before you act on it — an AI-identified item, a value or a total is a suggestion to confirm, not a record to rely on for insurance, tax or a claim.
• Keep the information you record accurate and up to date — the app can only be as reliable as what you put into it.
• Keep your own backups. Your catalog lives on your device, so it can be lost if your device is lost, damaged, reset or uninstalled. Use the built-in export (CSV or full backup) or the optional Google Drive backup to protect it.
• Use the app and its AI features lawfully, and do not attempt to farm credits, automate ad views, or tamper with the app or its backend (see "Acceptable Use").
• Keep your device and app lock secure, and comply with all applicable laws when using the app.

Home Inventory AI is free to use, and every feature is unlocked for everyone: there is no subscription, no Pro upgrade and no paywalled feature in this version. The AI features run on the free credit system described above — credits are granted or earned by watching an optional rewarded video, never bought.

The app contains Google Play Billing code for a possible future paid upgrade, but no purchase can be made anywhere in it today, so no payment is processed and no billing data exists. If a purchase is ever enabled, Google Play Billing would handle it — Google confirms the purchase to the app without sharing your card or payment details with Prachi — and these Terms would be updated first, with a new date.

The app can optionally back up your data to a private, app-specific folder in your own Google Drive. This feature is strictly opt-in and off by default.

When you enable it, your use of Google Drive is subject to Google's own terms of service and privacy policy, and the backup is stored in your Google account — not with Prachi. You are responsible for your Google account, and you can turn the feature off or delete the backup at any time. Note that the backup file is protected by your Google account rather than end-to-end encrypted.

You agree not to:

• use bots, scripts, emulators or any automation to access the app, its backend or the AI features;
• farm, exploit or artificially generate rewarded-ad views or credits, or circumvent fair-use caps, trial limits or device checks;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, tamper with or probe the app, its API or its integrity protections (including Firebase App Check), except as permitted by law;
• use the AI features to generate or process unlawful, infringing, hateful or deceptive content, or content that violates the policies of the third-party services the app relies on;
• resell, sublicense or offer the app's AI features as a service to others, or interfere with the service's operation or other users' use of it.

Your content is yours, and the app is ours. In detail:

• You retain all rights to the content you create, import or export with the app. We claim no licence over it, and — because it stays on your device — we never receive a copy of it.
• The app, its design, templates, branding, code and content libraries are the intellectual property of Prachi or its licensors and are protected by law. Using the app grants you no ownership of any of it.
• "Google", "Android", "Google Play" and related marks are trademarks of Google LLC. We are not endorsed by or affiliated with Google.

The app depends on services operated by third parties — a third-party AI service (which processes the photo or inventory text you submit for AI actions), Google Sign-In, Google AdMob (rewarded ads), Firebase (app-integrity and sign-in infrastructure), Google Drive (the optional backup) and Google Play (distribution). Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their availability, changes, or acts or omissions. If a third-party service changes or becomes unavailable, related app features may be limited, changed or discontinued.

Your catalog lives on your device. We keep no cloud copy of it, which is the point of the app — but it has a consequence worth stating plainly: if your device is lost, stolen, damaged or reset, or if you uninstall the app, anything you have not exported is gone, and neither we nor Google nor anyone else can recover it.

Please make your own backups with the export features the app provides, keep at least one copy somewhere other than the device itself, and restore from a backup when you move to a new phone. We cannot restore data for you, and we do not accept responsibility for catalog you have not backed up.

We release updates when they are ready. We may change, add or remove features, raise the minimum Android or app version required, or stop publishing the app altogether. Where a change materially reduces what the app does for you, we will say so in the release notes rather than let you discover it.

Google Play distributes the app, so its availability in your country, on your particular device, and the timing with which updates reach you are matters for Google and your device manufacturer rather than for us.

Either of us can end this arrangement:

• By you: stop using the app and uninstall it at any time. You may also delete your server-side data (via the in-app option or by email).
• By us: we may suspend or terminate your access to the AI features — including removing credit balances — if you materially breach these Terms (for example, credit farming, automation or tampering), or if we discontinue the service. Where practical, we will act proportionately.
• Sections that by their nature should survive (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, consumer rights and governing law) survive termination.

The app and all its features, including the AI features and credits, are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Prachi does not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, that AI output or value estimates will be accurate, or that the app will prevent any loss of data. The "Your Statutory Rights" section below always prevails over this one.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Prachi will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss of data or lost value, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the app, the AI features, the credit system or any AI-generated content. Because your catalog lives on your device, keeping your own backups is the best protection against loss.

To the same extent, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the app will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or the smallest amount a law that cannot be excluded permits. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes your mandatory rights as a consumer under the law of your own country. Where a clause here conflicts with a right you cannot waive, that right prevails and the rest of these Terms continues to apply.

If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have statutory rights in respect of digital content that is not as described or not of satisfactory quality — under Directive (EU) 2019/770 as implemented in your country, and under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in the United Kingdom. Those remedies apply regardless of what the "No Warranty" and "Limitation of Liability" sections above say.

Home Inventory is supplied free of charge and contains no in-app purchase, so there is no price to refund and no contract to cancel. If we ever introduced a paid feature, it would be sold through Google Play: Google's refund policy would apply to the payment, and consumers in the EEA and the UK would have the 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content, except where you ask for the download to begin immediately and acknowledge that you lose that right.

If you are a consumer in India, your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 are likewise unaffected.

If something is wrong, email support@elevatedev.co.in with the app name and what happened. We answer within 1–2 business days and try to settle complaints directly, which is almost always faster than any formal route.

If we cannot resolve it and you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, you may take the matter to a certified alternative dispute resolution body or to your national consumer authority; for cross-border cases within the EEA, the European Consumer Centres Network can help. The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform closed on 20 July 2025, so it is no longer a route. We are not a member of any particular ADR scheme and are not obliged to use one, but we will engage with a national authority that contacts us.

Complaints about a payment, a download, a review or the store listing itself are for Google Play, which handles distribution and billing.

We may update these Terms from time to time — for example when features, the law or Google Play's requirements change. The "Last updated" date above will change accordingly, and that date is also the date the new version takes effect. Material changes will be described here before they apply. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the revised Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the app.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the app.

That is subject to one important carve-out: if you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts there. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

Questions about these Terms? Email support@elevatedev.co.in and you will get a reply from the developer, typically within 1–2 business days.
