Terms of Service

Last updated: April 18, 2026  ·  Privacy Policy →

Plain-English summary: Fliq is a personal photo management tool for your own use on your own device. Don't reverse-engineer it, don't use it illegally, and understand that deleting photos is permanent — Fliq gives you a Recycle Bin to help avoid mistakes, but you're responsible for your final decisions.

1. Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Fliq application ("App," "Fliq," or "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a legal agreement between you and Brian Lowen ("Developer," "we," "us," or "our").

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download or use the App. Your continued use of the App following any modifications to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

Fliq is an iOS application designed to help users review, organize, and manage their personal photo libraries on Apple iPhone and iPad devices. The App provides tools including:

  • Swipe-based photo review sessions
  • A Recycle Bin for staging photos before permanent deletion
  • Smart Groups for detecting duplicate, similar, or categorized photos using on-device processing
  • Statistics, achievements, and streak tracking to encourage regular library maintenance
  • Notification-based reminders for scheduled review sessions

The App requires iOS 17.0 or later and access to your device's photo library to function.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use Fliq. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent's or guardian's permission to use the App.

To purchase the Fliq upgrade through the App Store, you must be at least 18 years of age, or have parental consent as required by Apple's App Store terms.

4. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

This license does not include the right to:

  • Sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, or assign the App or your rights to use it
  • Modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works based on the App
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code
  • Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices
  • Use the App for any commercial purpose or for any public display
  • Use the App in any way that violates applicable law or regulation

5. In-App Purchases

5.1 One-Time Purchase

Fliq offers a one-time in-app purchase ("Fliq Upgrade") that unlocks additional features including unlimited daily reviews, Smart Group resolution, and achievements. This purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store and is subject to Apple's payment terms.

5.2 Pricing

Purchase prices are displayed in the App and may vary by region due to local tax requirements and currency exchange rates. All prices are shown inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law.

5.3 Restore Purchases

If you have previously purchased the Fliq Upgrade, you may restore your purchase at no additional charge on any device signed in with the same Apple ID by using the "Restore Purchases" function within the App. The Fliq Upgrade is tied to your Apple ID, not to a specific device.

5.4 Refund Policy

All purchases are processed by Apple and subject to Apple's refund policy. If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, you may request a refund directly from Apple through the App Store. We do not have the ability to issue refunds directly. Please visit reportaproblem.apple.com to request a refund from Apple.

6. Photo Library Access and User Responsibility

6.1 Access Permission

Fliq requires access to your device's photo library to provide its core functionality. You may grant limited ("Selected Photos") or full library access. You can revoke this permission at any time through iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos.

6.2 Irreversible Actions — Your Responsibility

Permanently deleting photos from your photo library through the Recycle Bin is irreversible. While Fliq provides a Recycle Bin as a safety net between flagging a photo and permanent deletion, once you choose to permanently delete photos from the Recycle Bin, those photos are permanently removed from your device and iCloud Photo Library (if applicable) and cannot be recovered by Fliq or by the Developer.

⚠️ Important: You are solely responsible for any photos you choose to delete using Fliq. We strongly recommend reviewing photos carefully before emptying the Recycle Bin. Consider keeping iCloud or another backup active before performing large deletions.

6.3 Your Content

You retain all ownership rights to your photos. Fliq accesses your photos solely to provide the service you have requested. We claim no ownership over any photos in your library.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use Fliq in any way that:

  • Violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation
  • Infringes upon the intellectual property rights of any third party
  • Attempts to gain unauthorized access to any part of the App or its related systems
  • Introduces malware, viruses, or other harmful code
  • Interferes with or disrupts the integrity or performance of the App
  • Attempts to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system connected to the App

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its code, design, graphics, user interface, text, and all other content (excluding your personal photos), is the exclusive property of Brian Lowen and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

"Fliq" and associated logos are trademarks of Brian Lowen. You may not use these marks without prior written permission.

9. Third-Party Services

Fliq integrates with several third-party services. Your use of these services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies:

  • Apple App Store: In-app purchases and app distribution are governed by Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.
  • Apple PhotoKit: Photo library access is governed by Apple's terms and iOS permissions system.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.

We do not warrant that: (a) the App will function uninterrupted or error-free; (b) any errors or defects will be corrected; (c) the App is free of viruses or other harmful components; or (d) the results of using the App will meet your expectations.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BRIAN LOWEN BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP.

Without limiting the foregoing, our total liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App (if any) in the twelve (12) months prior to the claim.

In particular, we are not responsible for any photos deleted through your use of the App. You assume full responsibility for all photo deletion decisions.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Brian Lowen from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

13. Updates and Modifications

13.1 App Updates

We may release updates to the App through the App Store from time to time. Some updates may be required for continued use. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the App or any features at any time, with or without notice.

13.2 Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes through an in-app notification or by updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

14. Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the App. You may terminate these Terms by uninstalling the App from all your devices. We may terminate or suspend your access to the App immediately, without prior notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms.

Upon termination, all licenses granted under these Terms will terminate. Sections 8, 10, 11, and 12 shall survive termination.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If resolution cannot be reached, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, held in Los Angeles County, California.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy (available at getfliq.app/privacy), constitute the entire agreement between you and Brian Lowen with respect to the App and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and representations.
