Terms of Use
Last updated: 25 May 2026
1. About these terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Silmaril Software Private Limited, a company incorporated in India and based in Hyderabad, Telangana ("Silmaril", "we", "us"). They govern your use of the Weave Vault iOS application ("Weave Vault", the "App"). By installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms.
2. The service
Weave Vault is a local encrypted vault for private photos, videos, and files. Items you import are encrypted on your device using keys derived from a pattern you draw. The App is designed to protect against casual, opportunistic access to your device — for example, if someone unlocks your phone and starts browsing your Photos library. It is not designed to defeat targeted forensic analysis by sophisticated adversaries.
Weave Vault does not have user accounts and does not transmit vault content to us or to any third party. See our Privacy Policy for details.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher, to use Weave Vault. If you are using the App on behalf of a minor under your care, you accept these Terms on their behalf.
4. Your responsibilities
Weave Vault relies on you to keep two pieces of information safe:
- Your pattern. The pattern you draw on the 5×5 grid is the key used to unlock the vault. We never store your pattern; it is used only as input to a key derivation function on your device.
- Your recovery phrase. When you create a vault (by importing your first file into a fresh pattern), the App shows you a 12-word recovery phrase one time. This phrase is the only way to recover the vault if you forget your pattern. If you lose both your pattern and your recovery phrase, the vault and its contents cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.
You are responsible for keeping your device, your pattern, and your recovery phrase secure. You are responsible for the lawful use of any content you import into Weave Vault.
5. Subscriptions and purchases
The free tier of Weave Vault includes one vault with a limited file count. Weave Vault Pro removes those limits and is offered as three options:
- Monthly subscription — auto-renewable.
- Annual subscription — auto-renewable, includes a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
- Lifetime — a one-time, non-consumable purchase that grants Pro access permanently on the Apple ID used at purchase.
All payments are processed by Apple through StoreKit and the App Store. Prices are shown in the App at purchase time. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions at any time under Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your device.
Refunds. Refunds for App Store purchases and subscriptions are handled directly by Apple in accordance with Apple's policies. We do not process refunds. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.
If a Pro subscription lapses, the App reverts to free-tier limits. Existing vaults and their contents remain on your device and accessible; you may be unable to add files or vaults beyond the free limits until you renew.
6. Acceptable use
You may not use Weave Vault to store, distribute, or facilitate access to content that is unlawful in your jurisdiction, including content that exploits or endangers minors. Because the App does not transmit content to us or to any third party, we have no ability to monitor what you store — but storing such content using the App is a breach of these Terms and, in many jurisdictions, of law.
7. Intellectual property
The Weave Vault App, including its source code, design, brand assets, and documentation, is the property of Silmaril Software Private Limited and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
Content you import into Weave Vault remains yours. We do not acquire any ownership of or rights to your content. We do not receive copies of your content and cannot grant licences over it.
8. Limitations and disclaimers
Weave Vault is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, that encrypted content will remain decryptable in all circumstances, or that the App will protect against every possible threat. The App is intended to provide protection against casual, opportunistic access only. It is not a substitute for full-disk encryption, secure deletion of original media, or professional security tooling for high-threat use cases.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of Silmaril Software Private Limited arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Weave Vault, for any cause whatsoever, is limited to the greater of:
- the total amount you paid us for Weave Vault Pro in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or
- one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).
In no event will we be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
10. Termination
You may stop using Weave Vault at any time by deleting the App from your device. Deleting the App removes all data Weave Vault has stored on the device, including vault contents. You may also delete a single vault from within the App using the "Delete This Vault" action; this is irreversible from inside the App.
We may suspend or discontinue features, update the App, or withdraw the App from sale at our discretion. Where reasonably practicable we will provide notice in App Store release notes.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be surfaced in App Store release notes where appropriate. Continued use of the App after a change indicates acceptance.
12. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts of Hyderabad, Telangana have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of Weave Vault, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.
