Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Status Saver Android application ("the App"). By installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
1. What the App does
Status Saver lets you browse photo and video files that another chat app has already downloaded to your device when you viewed a contact's status, preview those files inside Status Saver, save copies of them to your phone's gallery, and re-share them through Android's standard share sheet.
The App only works with media that already exists on your device as a result of you viewing it inside the underlying chat app. The App does not download media from any remote server, does not connect to any messaging service, and does not bypass any access control on any other app.
Status media is ephemeral. The underlying chat app typically keeps status files on your device for only about 24 hours after you view them, and removes them automatically once the status expires. Any status you have not explicitly saved through the App before that point will disappear from the App's list along with the original file. The App cannot retrieve or restore expired status media — once the chat app deletes it, it is gone.
2. Independence and trademarks
Status Saver is an independent utility. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise associated with WhatsApp LLC, Meta Platforms, Inc., or any other chat app, messaging service, social network, or their owners.
WhatsApp is a trademark of WhatsApp LLC. Any reference to "WhatsApp" in the App, in its Google Play store listing, or in this document is descriptive (nominative) use only — used to identify the chat app whose already-downloaded status media the App can help you save — and does not imply any endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or other association. All other product names, logos, and trademarks referenced anywhere in connection with the App are the property of their respective owners and are likewise used for descriptive purposes only.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, whichever is higher) to use the App. By using the App you represent that you meet this requirement.
4. License
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes.
You may not:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
- Distribute, sublicense, sell, rent, or lease the App or any portion of it.
- Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
- Use the App to violate the law or the rights of any third party (see Section 5).
5. Acceptable use and your responsibilities
The App is a passive tool. You are solely responsible for what you do with media accessed, saved, or shared through it. In particular:
- Respect the content owner. Status media is created and posted by your contacts. Saving, re-sharing, or distributing someone else's photos or videos without their permission may infringe their copyright, privacy, publicity, or other rights, and may also violate the terms of the underlying chat app.
- Respect local law. You agree not to use the App in any way that violates any law, regulation, or court order applicable to you, including laws on privacy, recording, harassment, child safety, intellectual property, or export control.
- Respect the underlying chat app. Your use of the underlying chat app is governed by its own terms of service. The App does not modify, interfere with, or speak on behalf of that chat app.
- Respect platform policies. You agree not to use the App in any way that violates Google Play's Developer Program Policies.
We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to investigate misuse and to cooperate with law enforcement or rights-holders responding to misuse.
6. Privacy
The App does not sell or share your personal data, and the photos and videos you view or save stay on your device. For full details see the Privacy Policy.
7. Updates and changes to the App
The App may be updated from time to time through the Google Play Store. Updates may add, change, or remove features. We may discontinue the App or any feature at any time without notice. You are not entitled to any refund or compensation for changes to or discontinuation of the App.
8. Third-party services
The App is distributed through the Google Play Store, which is operated by Google and governed by Google's own terms and privacy policy. Your relationship with Google is independent of your relationship with us.
The App integrates no advertising networks or ad-attribution SDKs, and does not sell or share your data.
9. Disclaimers
The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, availability, and non-infringement.
Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that:
- The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or Android version.
- Any specific status, file, or feature will remain accessible — including that the underlying chat app will continue to store status media in a folder the App can read.
- Saved files will be free from loss, corruption, or accidental deletion.
You acknowledge that the App's ability to display status media depends entirely on the behavior of a chat app outside our control, which can change at any time and break the App's functionality. We are not responsible for any such change.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the publisher, its owners, employees, contractors, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total cumulative liability arising out of or related to the App or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us for the App in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) USD 5.00. Because the App is free, this amount will typically be USD 5.00.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In those jurisdictions, the above exclusions and limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law, and nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any right that cannot be limited under applicable law.
11. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the publisher and its affiliates from and against any third-party claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of: (a) your unlawful use or misuse of the App; (b) your material violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any law or any right of a third party, including any content owner whose media you saved or shared using the App.
To the extent this indemnity is unenforceable against you under the consumer-protection law of your country of residence (including, where applicable, the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive or India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019), it does not apply to you.
12. Termination
These Terms remain in effect while you use the App. You may end them at any time by uninstalling the App. We may suspend or end your license at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms. Sections 5, 9, 10, 11, and 14 survive termination.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be made available at the same location where you obtained them. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the App will be brought exclusively in the competent courts of India, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to bring proceedings in your country of residence.
15. Entire agreement; severability
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
