Terms of service

Short, and written to be read. Where a clause protects us rather than you, it says so plainly instead of hiding behind length.

Last updated:

These terms are between you and Alexander Volkov, who writes and publishes iConify. There is no company behind it.

They apply to the iConify Android app and to this website. Installing or using the app means accepting them. If you do not accept them, do not install it — and if you have, uninstalling it ends the agreement, because there is no account to close.

You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use iConify on devices you control, for as long as you keep to these terms. The app itself is licensed, not sold, and nothing here transfers ownership of it or of its name and design.

You may not:

  • Decompile, disassemble or reverse-engineer the app, except where the law expressly allows it regardless of this clause.
  • Redistribute the app or a modified copy of it, or publish it under another name.
  • Use the app to break the law, to harass anyone, or to distribute material that is unlawful where you are.
  • Interfere with the content server or attempt to obtain access to it beyond fetching the catalogue and the images the app is designed to fetch.

The catalogue that ships with iConify, and the packs it downloads, are provided so that you can use them the way the app is meant to be used: look at them, keep them, and send them in your own conversations.

They are not provided as an asset library. Extracting them in bulk, redistributing them as a set, selling them, or building another product on top of them is outside what these terms permit. If you want more than the app does, ask — the address is at the bottom.

The app lets you add an icon from a web address or from a file on your phone. That content is yours to answer for, and it is worth being explicit about what this means, because the app cannot check it for you.

By adding an icon you confirm that you have the right to use it that way. We do not host it, do not copy it to any server of ours, and — for an icon added from a URL — do not store the image at all: the app keeps the address and asks for the file when it needs to display it.

If the address stops answering, or the file behind it changes into something else, the app follows the address. Nothing is preserved on our side because nothing was taken.

Sharing hands a file and a link to another app of your choosing. What that app does with them is between you and it. You are responsible for what you send and to whom, exactly as you would be sending any other file.

The app is free and shows one banner supplied by Google AdMob. That is how it is paid for; there is no version without it and nothing to buy that removes it.

The ads themselves are selected and served by Google. We do not choose them, cannot preview them and are not responsible for the content of a particular ad or for the site it leads to. What Google processes to do this is described in the privacy policy.

  • Google Play distributes the app and handles installation and updates under Google's own terms.
  • Google AdMob serves the advertising, as its own controller.
  • WhatsApp receives the sticker pack if you choose to add it, and its own terms govern what happens there.
  • Cloudflare sits in front of the content server that hands out the catalogue and the images.

None of these is under our control, and their availability is not something we can promise on their behalf.

The app is provided as it is. There is no uptime commitment for the content server, no promise that the catalogue will keep growing, and no guarantee that a given icon will stay in it: an icon can be removed from a future catalogue, and a release can change or drop a feature.

What is on your phone stays on your phone regardless: icons already cached, and everything you added or collected, do not depend on the server being reachable.

To the extent the law allows, iConify is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. It is not promised to be free of errors or to work on every device.

Where you are a consumer, this clause does not remove rights your national law gives you and that cannot be waived by agreement.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost data, or for anything arising from content you added yourself or sent to someone else.

Liability is not excluded for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or in any other case where the law does not permit exclusion.

One practical point that follows from how the app works: your library lives on your device, and we have no copy of it. If the device is lost, reset, or the app is uninstalled, that library is gone unless you exported it yourself. Export and import exist for exactly this, and using them is your responsibility.

What the app and this website do with data is set out in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

These terms may change when the app changes. The current version is dated at the top; continuing to use the app after a change means accepting the new version.

You may end the agreement at any time by uninstalling the app. We may stop publishing the app or serving the catalogue, in which case the copy on your phone keeps working for as long as it can without the server.
