Terms of Use
Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms," "Terms of Use") carefully before using the ValutClean mobile application (the "App") operated by HCA TREND LTD ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or the "User") and HCA TREND LTD governing your use of the App and any related services (collectively, the "Services").
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, as well as our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not download, install, access, or use the App.

2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years of age (or the minimum age required by applicable law in your jurisdiction) to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this eligibility requirement. If you are under the age of 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
3. Description of Services
ValutClean provides the following core services:
- Password Manager: Securely store, organize, and manage your passwords and login credentials using AES-256 encryption. The App allows you to create, edit, categorize, and retrieve passwords protected by end-to-end encryption.
- Password Generator: Generate strong, unique passwords with customizable parameters including length, character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), and complexity levels.
- Password Import: Import existing passwords from other password managers or browsers into ValutClean for centralized, secure management.
- Smart Categories: Organize your passwords and credentials into custom categories for easy access and management.
- Photo Cleanup: Scan your device's photo library to identify and remove duplicate or similar photos, helping you free up storage space. All photo processing is performed entirely on your device.
- Secret Folder: A secure, encrypted vault where you can store private photos, documents, and files, protected by your master password and/or biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID).
4. Account Registration and Security
4.1 Account Creation
To access certain features of the App, you may be required to create an account. When creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to update such information as necessary to maintain its accuracy.
4.2 Master Password
You will be required to create a master password to encrypt and access your stored data. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your master password. Due to our zero-knowledge architecture, we do not store your master password and cannot recover or reset it for you. If you lose or forget your master password, you will permanently lose access to all data encrypted with that password. We strongly recommend that you:
- Choose a strong, unique master password that you do not use for any other service.
- Store a backup of your master password in a secure, separate location.
- Never share your master password with anyone.
4.3 Account Security
You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify us at info@valutclean.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account credentials.
5. Subscriptions and Payments
5.1 Free and Premium Tiers
The App offers both free and premium (paid) features. The free tier provides basic functionality with certain limitations (e.g., limited number of stored passwords). The premium tier ("Premium") unlocks additional features including unlimited password storage, advanced password generator, password import, secret folder, and full photo cleanup capabilities.
5.2 Free Trial
We may offer a free trial period for Premium features. The duration and terms of the free trial will be specified at the time of sign-up.

Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription to that publication, where applicable.
5.3 Subscription Fees and Billing
All Premium subscriptions are billed through Apple's App Store. The subscription fee and billing cycle (e.g., weekly at $10.99/week) will be clearly displayed before you confirm your purchase. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. By subscribing, you agree to pay the applicable fees as described at the time of purchase. All fees are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.
5.4 Automatic Renewal
Subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. The cost of renewal will be the same as the original subscription price unless otherwise notified in advance. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your Account Settings on the App Store after purchase.
5.5 Cancellation
You may cancel your Premium subscription at any time. To cancel, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on your iOS device, select ValutClean, and tap "Cancel Subscription." Upon cancellation:

5.7 Price Changes
We reserve the right to change subscription prices at any time. If we change the price of a subscription, we will notify you in advance and give you the opportunity to accept the new price or cancel your subscription before the price change takes effect.
