3.2 User Audio and Content

You retain your rights in audio files and other content that you use with TxTTone.

TxTTone is a sound-management and playback tool and does not grant you rights to music, recordings, sound effects, trademarks, or other content owned by third parties.

You agree not to use TxTTone to infringe another person's copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights.

3.3 Third-Party and Open-Source Software

Those components may be governed by separate license terms.

Where required, applicable license and attribution notices may be made available within the App or accompanying materials.

3.4 Trademarks

TxTTone and associated original branding are trademarks or trade identifiers of Charles Hall.

You may not use TxTTone branding in a manner that suggests endorsement, ownership, or affiliation without permission.

These may include:

Pricing may vary based on:

We may change the price of a product for future purchases without changing the amount previously paid for a completed purchase.

Purchases are processed through Google Play Billing.

We do not directly process your payment-card information.

Purchases may also be subject to applicable Google Play terms and policies.

4.5 Refunds

Refund eligibility is governed by applicable law, Google Play policies, and any additional refund rights we choose to provide.

4.6 Entitlement Verification

Access to purchased features may depend on Google Play's ability to verify the applicable purchase.

TxTTone may periodically restore or revalidate purchase information.

Temporary Google Play, network, account, device, or billing-service issues may delay entitlement verification.

5.3 Third-Party Advertisements

We do not control the content, products, services, websites, or applications promoted by third-party advertisers.

Interaction with an advertisement or advertiser is between you and the applicable third party.

6. Notification, Ringtone, and System Functionality

6.1 Sound Customization

TxTTone is designed to customize notification sounds and ringtones using Android functionality and user-selected rules.

Features may include:

6.2 Sound Takeover and Enhanced Sound Handling

When enabled, Sound Takeover may temporarily suppress Android's normal notification sound so TxTTone can apply a selected custom sound.

Enhanced Sound Handling may use Android Usage Access to improve the timing of this process for supported apps.

TxTTone may also use fallback behavior when a custom replacement should not be played.

These features depend on Android behavior outside TxTTone's exclusive control.

6.3 Compatibility

Notification and ringtone behavior can vary based on factors including:

TxTTone is designed to improve custom sound handling in supported scenarios.

We do not guarantee that Sound Takeover, Enhanced Sound Handling, or any other feature will suppress, replace, detect, or control every notification sound generated by every application, device, or Android version.

6.4 Permissions and Special Access

Some TxTTone features require Android permissions, roles, or special access.

You remain in control of whether to grant optional access.

If you deny or revoke access required for a feature, that feature may stop working or operate with reduced functionality.

7. System and Contact Changes

When you enable applicable features, TxTTone may make local changes on your behalf, including:

These actions are performed to provide functionality selected or configured by you.

WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AVAILABILITY, OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

8.2 No Guarantee of Continuous Operation

We do not guarantee that:

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CHARLES HALL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF TXT TONE.

We may do so when reasonably necessary for development, security, compatibility, business, legal, or technical reasons.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate notice.

Certain local changes may remain after uninstall, including:

12.3 Surviving Terms

Sections that by their nature should continue after termination remain effective, including provisions relating to:

13. Third-Party Services

TxTTone may interact with or rely on services operated by third parties, including:

We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their independent terms, policies, availability, content, or functionality.

Your use of those services may be subject to separate terms.

14. App Updates

We may release updates to:

Older versions of TxTTone may eventually lose compatibility with Android, Google Play, third-party apps, or TxTTone features.

You are responsible for installing available updates where appropriate.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If a change is material, we may provide notice through the App, store listing, website, or another appropriate method.

The date at the top of these Terms identifies the current version.

Your continued use of TxTTone after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If you do not agree with updated Terms, you should stop using TxTTone.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws in your jurisdiction provide otherwise.

17. Dispute Resolution

17.1 Informal Resolution

Before beginning formal legal proceedings, you agree to make a reasonable attempt to resolve the dispute by contacting:

devtexttone@gmail.com

Please provide enough information for us to understand the issue and attempt to resolve it.

17.2 Court Proceedings

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may pursue available remedies through a court of competent jurisdiction.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, proceedings relating to these Terms should be brought in an appropriate state or federal court located in Ohio.

Nothing in these Terms removes rights or remedies that applicable consumer law does not permit you to waive.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Where possible, an invalid provision will be interpreted or limited in a manner that most closely reflects its intended purpose while remaining enforceable.

19. Waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce that provision later.

A waiver concerning one matter does not constitute a waiver concerning another matter.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the TxTTone Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly presented for a particular feature or purchase, constitute the agreement between you and Charles Hall regarding TxTTone.

They supersede prior TxTTone Terms concerning the same subject matter.
