Welcome to WhatsBack (the “App”). The App is provided and maintained by an individual developer (“I”, “me”, or “the Developer”).

1. Eligibility and Accounts
- You must have full legal capacity, or use the App under the consent and supervision of a legal guardian.
- The App generally does not require account registration. If you log in to accounts on third-party websites via WebView or external links, those accounts and data are managed by the third parties, and you must comply with their rules and policies.
2. Services and Scope of Use
The App may provide the following features (subject to actual availability):
- Importing and parsing WhatsApp-exported chat backup files (e.g.,
.zipor.txt) for local viewing; - Local storage and management of chat-related media (images, videos, audio, documents, etc.);
- Status/Story saving (saving selected media to local storage);
- Direct chat and utility tools (such as number input, text processing, and template management);
- Subscriptions and value-added services (such as Pro features, if available).
You acknowledge and agree that the App may be updated, modified, suspended, or discontinued (in whole or in part) at any time due to policy, compliance, or technical reasons. While reasonable efforts are made to maintain stability, continuous availability is not guaranteed.
3. User Content and Local Data
- Backup files, chat records, media content, and text you input (collectively, “User Content”) are provided or generated by you and are primarily stored locally on your device.
- You are responsible for ensuring that you have the legal right to import, view, store, and process such content, and that your use complies with applicable laws and third-party platform rules.
- You bear full responsibility for User Content, including its legality, accuracy, and non-infringement.
4. Lawful Use and Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to use the App for any unlawful or improper purposes, including but not limited to:
- Infringing upon the privacy, reputation, copyright, trademark, or other lawful rights of others;
- Accessing, exporting, or distributing others’ chat records or media without authorization;
- Harassment, fraud, spamming, or other abusive behavior;
- Reverse engineering, cracking, modifying the App, or bypassing paid features or restrictions;
- Interfering with or disrupting the App, third-party services, advertising systems, or related networks.
In the event of a violation, I reserve the right to take measures permitted by law, including restricting features, terminating services, or refusing support.
5. Subscriptions, Payments, and Refunds (If Applicable)
If the App offers subscriptions or paid features:
- Billing and Payments: Processed through Apple App Store or Google Play In-App Purchases. Payments and billing are handled by the respective platform.
- Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions may automatically renew unless canceled via system subscription management before the renewal date.
- Trials and Price Changes: Trial availability and pricing are shown on the platform.
- Refunds: Refunds are generally handled by Apple or Google according to their policies. You must submit refund requests through the respective platform.
Except as required by law, I do not directly process or decide platform refund outcomes.
6. Advertising and Third-Party Services
- The App may display third-party advertisements (e.g., via Google AdMob). Ad content is provided by advertisers or ad networks. I do not guarantee the accuracy, legality, or suitability of such ads.
- Any transactions or interactions between you and advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser.
- The App may include third-party links, WebView pages, or services. Third-party terms and privacy policies apply independently.
7. Intellectual Property
- The App, including its interface, icons, code, and functional design (excluding User Content and third-party content), is protected by copyright and other laws, and is owned by the Developer or respective rights holders.
- You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes, unless otherwise authorized in writing.
- Without permission, you may not copy, modify, publish, sell, rent, distribute, or exploit the App or any part of it.
8. Trademarks and Non-Affiliation Disclaimer
The App is a third-party utility tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by WhatsApp or its affiliates (including Meta).
Names and trademarks such as “WhatsApp” belong to their respective owners and are used solely to describe compatibility or functionality.
9. Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- The App is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of uninterrupted operation or error-free performance.
- Backup parsing results may vary due to file formats, integrity, device environments, or third-party limitations.
- You are responsible for backing up important data. I am not liable for data loss, corruption, or irrecoverability, except as required by law.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use the App.
Where liability is required by law, the Developer’s total cumulative liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim (if any).
11. Termination
You may stop using and uninstall the App at any time. If you materially violate these Terms or applicable laws, I may restrict or terminate your use of the App as permitted by law.
12. Changes to These Terms
These Terms may be updated from time to time. The latest version will be displayed on this page or within the App with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the applicable laws of your place of residence, provided they do not conflict with mandatory consumer protection laws.
Any disputes shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation. If unresolved, either party may submit the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction.
