Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 12, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the PLocker mobile application ("the Application"), including any updates, upgrades, modifications, or new versions thereof, you ("the User" or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions contained herein, you must not download, install, or use the Application in any manner whatsoever.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Dipankar Kolay ("the Developer," "we," "us," or "our"), the creator and maintainer of the PLocker Application. Your use of the Application is expressly conditioned upon your acceptance of these Terms in their entirety. We reserve the right to update, modify, or replace these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the updated Terms on the PLocker website at /terms.php. Your continued use of the Application after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Because PLocker operates entirely offline and does not collect any user contact information, we cannot and will not send in-app notifications, emails, or push notifications about changes to these Terms. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms for updates. If you disagree with any modification to these Terms, your sole recourse is to discontinue use of the Application and uninstall it from your device.

2. Description of Service

PLocker is a free, offline password manager application designed exclusively for Android devices running Android 7.0 or higher. The Application provides the following core functionalities: secure storage of passwords and credentials in an encrypted SQLite database using AES-256 encryption, a built-in cryptographically secure password generator, secure notes storage, biometric (fingerprint) authentication support, backup and restore capabilities for encrypted vault data, organizational tools including categories and folders, always-on screenshot and screen sharing/recording protection, and customizable themes (Light, Dark, and System Default).

The Application is designed to operate entirely offline. It does not include, and is architecturally incapable of providing, any cloud synchronization, online backup, multi-device sync, web-based vault access, or any other feature that requires network connectivity. This is an intentional design characteristic, not a defect or limitation. By using PLocker, you acknowledge and accept that your Vault Data exists exclusively on your Android device and that you bear sole responsibility for creating and safeguarding backup copies of your data.

The Application is provided free of charge. There are no subscriptions, premium tiers, in-app purchases, feature paywalls, or any other monetization mechanisms within the Application. All features are available to all users at no cost. The developer accepts voluntary donations through external platforms, but donation is never required and confers no additional features, benefits, or rights within the Application.

3. User Responsibilities

As a user of PLocker, you acknowledge and accept the following responsibilities:

3.1 Master Password Security

You are solely responsible for creating a strong master password and maintaining its confidentiality and security. Your master password is the cryptographic key that protects your encrypted vault. The Application does not store your master password anywhere, and there is no password recovery mechanism, password hint, reset option, or backdoor access. If you forget your master password, you will permanently lose access to all data stored in your PLocker vault. The Developer has no ability to recover, reset, or bypass your master password. You are strongly encouraged to choose a master password that is both strong (at least 12 characters including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters) and memorable.

3.2 Backup Responsibility

You are solely responsible for creating and maintaining secure backup copies of your encrypted vault data. The Application provides a backup feature that creates an encrypted backup file on your device's local storage, but it does not and cannot automatically transfer this backup to external storage, cloud services, or other devices. You should regularly create backups and transfer them to a secure location separate from your device—such as a personal computer, USB drive, or secondary device. In the event of device loss, theft, damage, or data corruption, the only means of recovering your vault data is through a previously created backup file. The Developer bears no responsibility for lost data resulting from your failure to maintain adequate backups.

3.3 Lawful Use

You agree to use PLocker solely for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations. You may not use the Application to store, manage, or facilitate access to credentials or information associated with any illegal activity, including but not limited to hacking, identity theft, fraud, unauthorized access to computer systems, distribution of illegal content, or any activity that violates the rights of others. The Developer reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of any alleged illegal use of the Application, to the extent possible given the Application's offline architecture and absence of user data collection.

3.4 Device Security

You are responsible for maintaining the physical security of the Android device on which PLocker is installed. This includes using device-level security measures such as screen lock (PIN, password, pattern, or biometric), keeping your Android operating system up to date with security patches, and not leaving your device unlocked and unattended. While PLocker's AES-256 encryption protects your vault data at rest, physical access to an unlocked device combined with knowledge of your credentials could compromise your vault. The Application is one component of a comprehensive personal security strategy; it cannot compensate for poor device-level security practices.

3.5 Screenshot and Screen Sharing Protection

To ensure the confidentiality of your stored credentials and protect against unauthorized local data capture or snooping, the Application programmatically blocks screenshots and screen sharing/recording at all times. By using the Application, you acknowledge and agree that this protection is always-on and non-configurable, and you will not attempt to bypass or circumvent this security feature in any manner.

4. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Developer grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the PLocker Application on an Android device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. This license does not grant you any ownership rights in the Application or its associated intellectual property.

This license is granted free of charge. No payment or other consideration is required to obtain or maintain this license. The Application is provided "AS IS," and the Developer makes no representations or warranties regarding the Application's fitness for any particular purpose. This license may be terminated by the Developer if you violate any provision of these Terms, or by you at any time by uninstalling the Application from your device.

5. Restrictions

The license granted in Section 4 is subject to the following restrictions. You may NOT:

• Reverse Engineer: Decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, encryption keys, data structures, or internal architecture of the Application, except to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.
• Redistribute: Redistribute, sublicense, sell, rent, lease, loan, or otherwise transfer the Application or any portion thereof to any third party without the Developer's prior written consent. This includes uploading the Application's APK file to alternative app stores, file-sharing platforms, or any other distribution channel not authorized by the Developer.
• Modify: Modify, adapt, translate, alter, or create derivative works based on the Application, in whole or in part. This includes modifying the Application's APK file, altering the Application's code or resources, or incorporating any part of the Application into another software product.
• Remove Notices: Remove, obscure, alter, or tamper with any copyright, trademark, proprietary, or legal notices contained within the Application, its user interface, or its documentation.
• Commercial Use: Use the Application for any commercial purpose, including but not limited to reselling access to the Application, incorporating the Application into a paid product or service, or using the Application to manage credentials for commercial services for third parties.
• Automated Access: Use any automated means—including robots, spiders, scrapers, scripts, or automated tools—to interact with, extract data from, or simulate usage of the Application.

Any unauthorized use of the Application will result in the immediate termination of the license granted under these Terms and may subject you to civil and criminal penalties under applicable intellectual property and computer fraud laws.

6. Intellectual Property

The PLocker Application, including but not limited to its source code, compiled binaries, APK files, user interface design, graphical elements, icons, logos, color schemes, typography choices, layout structures, documentation, website content, and all other materials associated with the Application (collectively, the "PLocker Materials"), are the exclusive intellectual property of Dipankar Kolay, the Application's creator and copyright holder.

All right, title, and interest in and to the PLocker Materials—including all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patent rights, moral rights, and all other intellectual property rights of any kind—are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Dipankar Kolay. These Terms do not convey or transfer any ownership rights in the PLocker Materials to you. The PLocker name, the PLocker logo, and all related product and service names, design marks, and slogans are trademarks of Dipankar Kolay and may not be used without the Developer's prior written permission.

Any feedback, suggestions, bug reports, feature requests, or improvement ideas that you submit to the Developer regarding the Application become the sole property of the Developer, who may use such feedback for any purpose—including improving the Application, developing new features, or creating derivative works—without any obligation to provide attribution, compensation, or acknowledgment to you.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE PLOCKER APPLICATION IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEVELOPER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement;
• Warranties that the Application will meet your specific requirements or expectations;
• Warranties that the operation of the Application will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;
• Warranties that any defects or errors in the Application will be corrected;
• Warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information or results obtained through the use of the Application;
• Warranties that the Application is free of viruses, malware, or other harmful components;
• Warranties arising from course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade.

The Developer does not warrant that the Application's AES-256 encryption will remain unbroken indefinitely against advances in computing technology, including quantum computing. Similarly, the Developer does not warrant that the Application is immune to vulnerabilities that may be discovered in the future in the Android operating system, the SQLite database engine, or the cryptographic libraries upon which the Application depends. The Application represents the Developer's best effort to provide secure password storage using currently accepted cryptographic standards, but absolute security is impossible in any software system.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, the Developer's warranties shall be limited to the minimum extent required by law.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL DIPANKAR KOLAY, THE DEVELOPER OF PLOCKER, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• Loss of data, passwords, credentials, notes, or any other vault content;
• Loss of revenue, profits, business opportunities, or anticipated savings;
• Loss of goodwill or reputation;
• Costs of procuring substitute goods or services;
• Personal injury, property damage, or emotional distress;
• Any damages arising from unauthorized access to, alteration of, or loss of your vault data;
• Any damages arising from your inability to access your vault due to a forgotten master password;
• Any damages arising from device loss, theft, damage, or malware infection;
• Any damages arising from security vulnerabilities in the Android operating system, device firmware, or third-party libraries;
• Any damages arising from your failure to create and maintain adequate encrypted backups;
• Any other damages arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Application.

THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APPLICATION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO THE DEVELOPER FOR THE APPLICATION (WHICH IS ZERO, AS THE APPLICATION IS FREE), OR (B) ONE UNITED STATES DOLLAR (US $1.00). THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY REFLECTS A DELIBERATE ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN YOU AND THE DEVELOPER, ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE.

The Developer assumes no responsibility or liability for any consequences arising from your reliance on PLocker as your sole means of password storage and management. PLocker is a tool; the responsibility for maintaining access to and security of your digital credentials ultimately rests with you. You are strongly encouraged to implement a comprehensive backup and recovery strategy that includes regular encrypted vault backups stored on multiple independent media in physically separate locations.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, the Developer's liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Dipankar Kolay, the Developer of PLocker, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Application in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right; (c) any illegal activity conducted by you using or in connection with the Application; or (d) any claim that content you stored in the Application infringes upon or violates the rights of a third party.

The Developer reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify the Developer, and you agree to cooperate with the Developer's defense of such claims.

10. Termination

These Terms shall remain in full force and effect for as long as you have the PLocker Application installed on any device. You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the Application from all devices on which it is installed. Uninstalling the Application will permanently delete the encrypted SQLite database and all Vault Data contained within it, unless you have created and retained encrypted backup files separately.

The Developer may terminate these Terms and your license to use the Application at any time, with or without cause and with or without prior notice, at the Developer's sole discretion. Grounds for termination by the Developer include, but are not limited to, your violation of any provision of these Terms, your engagement in activities that the Developer reasonably believes to be illegal or harmful, or the Developer's decision to discontinue support for the Application.

Upon termination of these Terms for any reason: (a) your license to use the Application immediately ceases; (b) you must cease all use of the Application and uninstall it from all devices; and (c) all provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 5 (Restrictions), 6 (Intellectual Property), 7 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 8 (Limitation of Liability), 9 (Indemnification), and 11 (Governing Law). Termination of these Terms shall not limit any of the Developer's other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Application shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in India.

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting the Developer at admin@utts.in and engaging in good-faith negotiations for a period of at least thirty (30) days. If the dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiation, either party may pursue available legal remedies in the appropriate court of law.

You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Application must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be permanently barred. This limitations period shall apply regardless of any statute or law to the contrary.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to resolve disputes with the Developer on an individual basis and waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or collective legal proceeding. You agree that you may bring claims against the Developer only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

12. Export Compliance

The PLocker Application incorporates strong cryptographic functionality using AES-256 encryption. Cryptographic software may be subject to export controls and regulations under various jurisdictions, including the laws of India and international treaties. By downloading or using PLocker, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country to which the export of cryptographic software is restricted or prohibited, and that you will comply with all applicable export control laws and regulations.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the original intent of the provision as closely as possible. If such modification is not possible, the invalid provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of the Developer to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and Dipankar Kolay regarding your use of the PLocker Application and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Developer.

15. Contact
