These Terms are between you and songzejiancai.com only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the Apps or their Content. The license to each App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Apps. In the event of any failure of an App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.

Apple is not responsible for any claim by you or any third party relating to the Apps or your possession or use of the Apps, including but not limited to (i) product liability claims, (ii) any claim that an App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and (iii) claims under consumer protection or similar legislation.

7.2 Google Play Store (Android)

These Terms are between you and songzejiancai.com only, not with Google LLC or its affiliates. Google is not responsible for the Apps or their Content. We are solely responsible for the Apps and any claims relating to them. Google has no obligation to provide maintenance or support.

8. Refunds & Cancellations

8.1 App Store Purchases

Purchases made through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Mac App Store are governed by the respective store's refund policies. We are generally not able to issue refunds for these purchases directly; you must request them from the store.

8.2 EU / UK Right of Withdrawal

If you reside in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may have the right to withdraw from a digital purchase within 14 days. However, this right is lost once you begin downloading or streaming digital content, or once you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge the loss of withdrawal rights. We request this consent at the time of purchase.

8.3 Australian Consumer Law

Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.

10. User Content

You retain all rights, title, and interest in your User Content. Our Apps are designed so that User Content remains on your device, encrypted and under your control.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content, and that your User Content does not violate any third party's rights.

You may opt out of personalized advertising via your device settings or through the in-app "Privacy & Ads" screen. Opting out does not remove all advertising; it only prevents personalized targeting.
