Terms of Use — BackNest

1. Agreement / acknowledgment

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of BackNest: USB Photo Backup (the “Application” or “Service”), published by ByteGlo OÜ. They apply to the Application, not to the informational website at byteglo.com (see the separate website Terms of Use).

By downloading, accessing, or using the Application you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Application. Use is also subject to our Privacy Policy — BackNest and to Apple’s App Store terms where they apply.

2. Definitions

  • Application means BackNest: USB Photo Backup for iOS.
  • Developer means ByteGlo OÜ, registry code 17584494, Estonia.
  • Device means an Apple-branded product you own or control on which the Application runs.
  • Free Tier means the Application’s features available without BackNest Pro.
  • In-App Purchase means a purchase made through Apple StoreKit, including BackNest Pro.
  • Pro means BackNest Pro features unlocked by In-App Purchase.
  • Service means the Application and related on-device functionality described in these Terms.
  • You means the person who downloads or uses the Application.

3. Description of the Service

The Application copies photos and videos from the Device Photos library to USB or SD folders you select, and can restore from those folders back into Photos. Processing runs on your Device. The Developer does not upload your media to Developer servers and does not provide a Developer-operated cloud backup of your library.

Backup does not delete originals in Photos; it copies, it does not move.

4. License to use

Subject to these Terms and Apple’s App Store rules, the Developer grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Application on Devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service and Apple’s Usage Rules.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer (except where mandatory law allows), or create derivative works of the Application, except as expressly permitted.

This End User License Agreement is between you and the Developer, not Apple. The Developer is solely responsible for the Application and its content, except where Apple’s terms provide otherwise.

5. Photo Library and USB access / user responsibility

You must grant Photos access and select destination or source folders through the system file picker for the Application to work. You are responsible for:

  • choosing the correct folders and storage media;
  • ensuring you have the right to copy and restore the media you select;
  • keeping your Device and USB/SD storage secure and compatible;
  • revoking access in iOS settings when you no longer want the Application to use Photos or folders.

6. Backup and restore operations

You are responsible for verifying that backup and restore operations completed successfully. The Developer is not liable for interrupted transfers, incompatible or failing drives, insufficient storage, OS or hardware limits, power loss, ejected media, or user error, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Always keep independent copies of important media. The Application is a convenience tool, not a guarantee of data integrity.

7. Free Tier and Pro In-App Purchase

The Application may offer a Free Tier with limits and BackNest Pro via In-App Purchase. Apple processes payments and refunds under Apple’s policies. The Developer does not receive your payment card details.

Manage purchases and refund requests through your Apple ID / App Store account and Apple Support as applicable.

8. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Application lawfully and responsibly. You must not use it to infringe others’ rights, to store or transfer unlawful content, or to disrupt, damage, or impair the Application, Device, or connected storage.

The Application is not directed at children under 13.

9. Intellectual property

The Application, including its design, code, name, and branding, is owned by ByteGlo OÜ or used with permission. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you.

10. Links to third-party sites

The Application or related materials may link to third-party sites or services (including Apple). We do not control them. Their terms and privacy notices apply. Review those before you use them.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Application at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or end your license if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the Application. On termination your right to use the Application ends. Provisions that by nature should survive (including liability limits, intellectual property, and governing law) continue to apply.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ByteGlo OÜ is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits, or business arising from your use of the Service.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Estonian or EU law, including mandatory consumer protections and liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such a limit is forbidden.

Subject to the above, the Developer’s aggregate liability related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid for the Service via In-App Purchase in the twelve (12) months before the claim, or one hundred US dollars (USD 100) if you have not paid for the Service, whichever is greater where a paid amount applies — but never less than mandatory consumer law requires.

13. AS IS / AS AVAILABLE disclaimer

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with every Device or storage accessory, or free of harmful components.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no warranty obligation with respect to the Application. Any claims attributable to a failure of the Application to conform to any warranty are the Developer’s responsibility as between you and Apple, subject to these Terms and mandatory law.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Estonia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are an EU consumer, you also keep mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence.

15. Disputes

If you have a concern or dispute about the Service, you agree to first try to resolve it informally by contacting us at .

16. Changes

We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Material changes will be posted on this page before they take effect where reasonably possible. Continued use of the Application after a change means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Application.
