Terms of Service

Effective 31 August 2026 · Last updated 31 August 2026

These terms govern your use of the iOS application I'm Kinko. ("the app"), made by Paul Quilichini ("I", "me"). By installing or using the app, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. What the app is

The app encrypts credentials you enter and stores the encrypted result on your device and in cloud storage that belongs to you. I do not operate a service that holds your data. Your use of Google Drive, Google Sign-In, and Apple iCloud Keychain is governed by your own agreements with Google and Apple.

2. Licence

You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, for personal or internal business purposes. You may not resell, sublicense, or redistribute the app.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the app to store or transmit anything unlawful, to attempt to gain unauthorized access to another person's vault or account, to interfere with the key directory service, or to reverse engineer the app except to the extent that such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

4. Your keys and your backups

The app is built so that only your devices hold the keys to your vaults. This is a deliberate security property, and it has a direct consequence:

• If you lose access to all of your enrolled devices and have not exported a Recovery Kit, your vault cannot be decrypted by anyone, including me. The data is permanently unrecoverable.
• You are responsible for creating and safely storing a Recovery Kit, and for remembering any passphrase protecting it.
• You are responsible for maintaining access to the Google account holding your encrypted vault files.

5. Availability

The app is provided on an as-available basis. Features that depend on Google Drive, Google Sign-In, Apple iCloud Keychain, or the key directory may be interrupted, and I may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the app or the directory service. Where I discontinue the directory service, I will give reasonable notice where practical so you can export your data.

6. No warranty

The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. I do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure against every possible attack.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, nor for any loss of data, loss of profits, loss of credentials, or any damages arising from unauthorized access to your accounts, however caused and on any theory of liability.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived under the law of your country of residence.

8. Changes to these terms

I may update these terms. The date at the top of this page will change, and continued use of the app after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If a change is material, I will make reasonable efforts to bring it to your attention.

9. Termination

You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it. I may terminate access to the key directory service for any account that violates section 3. Termination does not affect the encrypted files already stored in your own cloud storage, which remain yours.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions, and the courts of Fukuoka, Japan shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory law in your country of residence provides otherwise.
