Terms of Use

• Vacuum is free. There is no account and nothing to sign up for.
• Use it on your own iPhone, for lawful purposes.
• Vacuum blocks a lot, but not everything, and blocking can occasionally break part of an app. You can always allow a company again or turn the vacuum off.
• Vacuum is provided as it is, without guarantees, as far as the law allows.
• These terms are governed by the laws of Nevada.

These Terms of Use ("terms") are an agreement between you and Acific Labs LLC ("Acific Labs", "we", "us") about the Vacuum app for iPhone and its widgets ("Vacuum", "the app"). By downloading or using Vacuum you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

How we handle information is described separately in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Vacuum on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. You may not copy, modify, resell, rent or redistribute the app, or reverse-engineer it except where the law expressly allows.

• Blocking. Vacuum blocks domain lookups that match its lists of advertising, analytics and tracking services, plus any you block yourself. No list is complete, so some tracking may get through, and a blocked service may stop part of an app or website from working.
• Not a security product. Vacuum is not antivirus, malware protection or a firewall, and it does not hide your IP address or encrypt your traffic. Do not rely on it as your only protection.
• Deep Clean. The checklist is general guidance about settings on your iPhone and in other services. You choose whether to change them, and you are responsible for the changes you make. Settings and menus in other products can change without notice.
• Information shown. Company names, categories and descriptions of what trackers collect are our best understanding from public sources and may not be complete or current.

While the vacuum is on, lookups that are not blocked are answered by Cloudflare's public 1.1.1.1 resolver, and the photo map in My Phone uses Apple Maps. Those services are provided by their owners under their own terms. We are not responsible for them, and they may change or become unavailable.

Do not use Vacuum to break the law, to interfere with networks or services you do not own, or to try to gain access to systems or data you are not allowed to reach. Do not use it on a device you do not own or have permission to manage.

Vacuum, its design, its swirl mark and the names Vacuum and Acific Labs belong to Acific Labs LLC. These terms do not give you any rights to them beyond using the app. Other company names and marks shown in the app belong to their owners and appear only to tell you who a tracker belongs to; it does not mean they endorse Vacuum.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Vacuum is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not promise that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free or block every tracker.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Acific Labs LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use Vacuum. Our total liability for any claim about the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for it in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50.

Some places do not allow these exclusions or limits, so some of them may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have that cannot be limited by law.

• These terms are between you and Acific Labs LLC only, not Apple. Acific Labs, not Apple, is solely responsible for Vacuum and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Vacuum.
• If Vacuum fails to conform to any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for Vacuum.
• Acific Labs, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or anyone else relating to Vacuum, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• If anyone claims that Vacuum infringes their intellectual property rights, Acific Labs, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting", and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and on your acceptance of them Apple may enforce them against you.
• Where these terms are silent, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies.

We may update Vacuum or these terms. When the terms change, we will update this page and its effective date; if a change is significant, the app will tell you. Using Vacuum after a change means you accept the new terms.

You can stop using Vacuum at any time by deleting it. We may stop offering the app, or end your license if you break these terms. Sections 04 and 07 to 12 continue to apply after that.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Nevada, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction. If you live outside the United States, you keep any protections given to you by the mandatory laws of the country where you live.

If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a part of them, we have not given up the right to later.
