These Terms of Service (the "Terms") set out the conditions for using "Mute Camera Plus" and its free version "Mute Camera" (collectively, the "Service") provided by CloudEx Inc. ("we", "us", or "our"). Please use the Service only after agreeing to these Terms.
Article 1 (Application)
- These Terms apply to all relationships between users and us concerning the use of the Service.
- In addition to these Terms, we may establish various rules and provisions regarding the use of the Service ("Individual Provisions"). Regardless of their name, these Individual Provisions shall form part of these Terms.
- Where the provisions of these Terms conflict with those of the Individual Provisions referred to above, the Individual Provisions shall prevail unless otherwise specified therein.
Article 2 (Content of the Service)
- The Service is an app that silences the camera shutter sound by adjusting the device's system audio while a camera app is in the foreground. All processing runs on your device; the Service does not access your camera, your photos, or the images you capture.
- The paid version ("Mute Camera Plus") is a one-time purchase; no additional monthly or annual fees arise after the initial purchase. The free version ("Mute Camera") offers a free trial for a limited period, after which a one-time in-app purchase unlocks continued use.
- Because shutter-sound behavior depends on the device manufacturer, model, region, and OS specifications, we do not guarantee that the shutter sound can be silenced on all devices or in all situations.
Article 3 (Prohibited Acts)
In using the Service, users must not engage in any of the following acts.

- Using the Service for improper purposes, including using it to take photographs in violation of applicable laws or the rights of others
- Any other act that we deem inappropriate

Article 5 (Fees and Refunds)
