Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 12/17/2025

App Name: Vylt

Developer/Provider: IV Digital

Contact: support@ivdigital.co

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Vylt, you agree to these Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.


1. Purpose of the App

Vylt is a local, offline application that helps you encrypt, store, and manage files on your device. Vylt is designed to operate without user accounts or cloud services.

2. Eligibility

You must be legally able to enter into a binding agreement to use the App. If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. License and Acceptable Use

3.1 License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for lawful purposes.

3.2 Prohibited Use

You agree not to:

3.3 Responsibility for Content (No Monitoring)

You are solely responsible for any content you store, encrypt, or manage using Vylt. Vylt does not access, monitor, scan, or review your stored content. We do not know what you store in the App and we do not control it.

We do not endorse or encourage unlawful use. You agree that any misuse of the App is your responsibility.

4. Critical Security Disclosures (Read Carefully)

Vylt is designed as a privacy and security tool. This creates important responsibilities and risks:

4.1 No Recovery / No Backdoor

Vylt is designed so that we cannot access your encrypted data. We do not have your keys and we cannot reset your encryption in a way that restores data access.

4.2 Permanent Data Loss Risk

If you forget your passcode, lose device access, delete keys, delete the App, clear app data, or otherwise lose required credentials/materials, your encrypted data may be permanently unrecoverable.

4.3 Backups Are Your Responsibility

If Vylt offers an encrypted backup/export feature, you are responsible for:

If you lose your backup passphrase or backup files, you may permanently lose access to your data.

4.4 Device Security Matters

Your device's security materially affects your results. If your device is compromised (malware, rooting, unsafe debugging, physical compromise, unauthorized access), Vylt cannot guarantee protection.

4.5 Decoy Vault and "Plausible Deniability"

If Vylt offers a "decoy vault" or similar feature, it is provided as a privacy tool. It is not a guarantee of safety, outcomes, or protection in all circumstances. Do not rely on this feature for emergency, legal, or personal safety decisions.

5. Privacy

Vylt is intended to function offline and without cloud accounts. However, your device, operating system, app store, or third-party services (e.g., crash reporting if enabled, OS telemetry, or device backups) may collect information outside of Vylt's control.

For details, see our Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy governs how data is handled.

6. Updates and Changes to the App

We may provide updates, patches, security fixes, or feature changes. Some updates may be required for continued use. We are not obligated to provide any particular update or maintain compatibility with all devices indefinitely.

7. User Support

Support, if offered, may be limited to general usage guidance. Because Vylt is designed to be zero-knowledge, we cannot access or recover your encrypted content.

8. Intellectual Property

The App and all associated intellectual property (including code, designs, logos, and trademarks) are owned by Provider or its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

The App may interact with operating system features or display links to third-party resources. We are not responsible for third-party services, their content, policies, or availability.

10. Warranty Disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.

We do not warrant that encryption will prevent all unauthorized access, especially if your device is compromised.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID (IF ANY) FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. In such cases, liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Provider and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

13. Export Controls and Sanctions

You agree to comply with applicable export control laws and sanctions regulations. You may not use or export the App in violation of such laws.

14. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your license to use the App if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time. Termination does not relieve you of obligations incurred before termination.

Because your data is encrypted, uninstalling the App or clearing data may result in permanent loss of access to encrypted content.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we may present them in-app and require acceptance to continue using the App. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising out of these Terms or the App will be resolved in the courts located in Jackson County, Michigan, United States, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms (and the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and Provider regarding the App and supersede prior agreements or understandings.
