Terms of Use

Last updated: October 31, 2026

“Website” means the websites on smartusphoto.app and all its subdomains; “Application” means SmartUs Photo Sync; “Service” means the Website and Application collectively. The Service is provided by SmartUs Labs (“we”, “us”). These Terms govern use of the Service.

By using the Website or Application, you accept these Terms in full. Your personal information is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use the Service. Answers to questions about the Service and these Terms are in the FAQ.

Use of the Service

The Application synchronizes computer folders with albums in Google Photos — Google’s online service for storing and viewing photos and videos, which you use with your own Google account. Use an account you are authorized to access and content you are entitled to use. Keep your account secure.

Choosing the main folder and finding changes in the Application do not require trial or paid access. Synchronization requires valid access assigned to the computer. Each computer is eligible for one trial; each confirmed file change in either direction (an upload, a download, an addition to or removal from an album, or the deletion of a local file) counts towards its trial synchronization limit. The applicable limit and access details are shown in your Website account.

Prohibited activities

You must not attempt to hack, gain unauthorized access to or use any component of the Service without authorization, including the Website, Application or infrastructure, or bypass security, access or trial restrictions. You must not use the Service for unlawful purposes or intentionally harm the Service, its users or its owners. Any infringement of copyright when using the Service is prohibited, including rights in its components and third-party content.

For these violations, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, block your account and/or report the matter to law-enforcement authorities or bring legal proceedings in accordance with law. No refund is given for access restricted or terminated because of such violations.

Access and payments

Purchases are made through Paddle, an online payments company. Paddle is the official seller (merchant of record) of access to the Service: you pay Paddle, and Paddle accepts the payment, issues invoices and handles taxes and refunds. Payments, taxes and billing documents are governed by Paddle’s buyer terms.

The free trial lasts 7 days and permits up to 500 confirmed file changes in total, in both directions. It is available once per physical computer when first registered, starts on the Website without a bank card or Paddle checkout, and never converts automatically to paid access.

Paid synchronization access is a one-time purchase for 30 days. The current price is USD 9.99; the final amount and applicable taxes are shown before payment in Paddle. Access starts when the payment is confirmed and ends at the recorded expiry time. There is no automatic renewal or subsequent charge.

While new purchases are available, you may buy access again before or after expiry. Every new purchase starts a new access period from that purchase; remaining time from an earlier purchase is not added. The recorded price and duration of an existing purchase do not change when a later offer changes.

Active paid access may be transferred to another eligible computer in the same Website account without changing its original expiry time. A trial cannot be transferred. Replacing a trial on the receiving computer requires explicit confirmation and does not restore its used trial allowance.

Availability and discontinuation of the Service

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Service, including the Application. We may pause or stop new purchases and free trials at any time; this does not change the expiry date of access already purchased.

We may decide at any time to permanently close the Service and stop new sales. The closure itself takes place only after all previously paid access periods have ended. When the Service is permanently closed, we delete all users’ personal data stored on our side, and the Application’s support channels stop working.

The Application depends on access to Google Photos through your Google account and on the access methods and features that Google makes available at the relevant time. Your use of Google services is subject to the Google Terms of Service. Changes made by Google may restrict or stop the Application at any time, including during a paid access period.

Refunds

We do not provide refunds after access is purchased, under any circumstances. The free trial lets you check the Application and its features before you buy.

If you still want to request a refund, contact Paddle: as the seller of the access, Paddle handles such requests under its Refund Policy.

Disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability

You use the Service at your own risk. Review the Application’s synchronization plan before confirming it and keep backups. Depending on the direction you select, synchronization uploads files and changes albums in Google Photos, or downloads files and deletes local files and folders that are not in the corresponding Google Photos albums. Google Photos is a third-party service; changes in its availability or functionality may interrupt or restrict synchronization.

The Website and Application are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, or continued availability or compatibility of third-party services.

We are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including those arising from loss or corruption of data, lost profits, revenue or business opportunities, resulting from use of, or inability to use, the Service. We are not responsible for failures of third-party services or infrastructure beyond our reasonable control.

These warranty exclusions and liability limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law and do not affect mandatory consumer rights.

Support

Answers to questions about the Website and Application are in the FAQ. Visitors without an account use the FAQ for all questions. Questions about payments, invoices, taxes and refunds are handled by Paddle buyer support.

Signed-in users may send questions about their personal data through the private Get help form in their account on the Website.

The Technical problem category is also available if the account has or has previously had trial or paid access, including access that has ended. For general questions, use the FAQ.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time without separate notice. You are responsible for checking this page for changes. The last updated date appears at the beginning of this document.
