Secure QR Maker & Reader EULA
End User License Agreement
Secure QR Maker & Reader
Effective Date: May 20, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Project Dead Channel LLC ("we," "our," or "us") governing your use of the Secure QR Maker & Reader mobile application, including all related software, features, and updates (collectively, the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms,
do not download, install, or use the App.
2. License Grant
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use the App for your personal or internal business purposes on any device that you own or control, as permitted by the usage rules of the applicable app store. This license does not allow you to use the App on any device that you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time.
3. Restrictions
You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:
-
copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App, except as expressly permitted by law;
-
reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
-
rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit the App;
-
remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices on the App;
-
use the App to violate any applicable law or regulation, or to infringe the rights of any third party;
-
use the App to create, distribute, or store content that is unlawful, harmful, or that you do not have the right to create or distribute; or
-
circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security-related features of the App.
4. Ownership and Intellectual Property
The App is licensed to you, not sold. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the App, including all intellectual property rights therein. Except for the limited license granted in this Agreement, no rights are granted to you. All QR codes, notes, logos, and other content that you create using the App belong to you, and we claim no ownership over your content.
5. User Content and Conduct
You are solely responsible for any content you create, encode, scan, decode, store, or share using the App, and for your use of any such content. Because the App operates entirely on your device and does not transmit your content to us, we do not review, monitor, or have access to the content you create or scan. You represent that you have all rights necessary to create and use the content you process with
the App.
6. Scanning Third-Party QR Codes
The App can scan and decode QR codes created by third parties. QR codes may contain links or instructions that are malicious, deceptive, or harmful, including phishing links, links to malware, or fraudulent payment requests. The App may display warnings for certain risky content, such as non-secure (HTTP) links or potential phishing indicators, but these warnings are provided on a best-effort basis only and are not guaranteed to detect all harmful content. You are solely responsible for deciding whether to open, trust, or act upon any scanned content, including opening URLs, joining Wi-Fi networks, or initiating any messaging or payment action.
7. Secure Notes and Encryption
The App offers a Secure Note feature that encrypts text on your device using AES-256-CBC with a passphrase that you supply. You acknowledge and agree that:
-
your passphrase is never stored, transmitted to, or recoverable by us;
-
if you lose or forget your passphrase, the encrypted content cannot be recovered by anyone, including us;
-
the security of an encrypted note depends on the strength and secrecy of the passphrase you choose; and
-
you should not rely on this feature as your sole means of protecting critically important or irreplaceable information.
We provide the encryption feature “as is” and make no representation that it is suitable for any particular security requirement.
8. Cryptocurrency Content
The App can generate and scan QR codes containing cryptocurrency wallet addresses. The App does not verify the accuracy, validity, or ownership of any wallet address, and does not process, facilitate, or have any involvement in cryptocurrency transactions. Cryptocurrency transactions are typically irreversible. You are solely responsible for verifying any wallet address before sending or receiving funds. We are not responsible for any loss arising from an incorrect, mistyped, fraudulent, or maliciously altered wallet address, or from any cryptocurrency transaction you undertake.
9. Device Features and Third-Party Services
The App uses certain device features and may hand content to other apps or services at your direction, including your device's camera, photo library, share sheet, clipboard, web browser, Wi-Fi configuration, and messaging or social media applications. Your use of those features and services is governed by the terms and policies of your device manufacturer, operating system, and the relevant third parties. We are not responsible for the operation of, or any content or actions arising from, third-party features or services.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT ANY QR CODE WILL BE GENERATED, SCANNED, ENCRYPTED, OR DECODED ACCURATELY. YOU USE THE APP AT YOUR OWN RISK.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, CRYPTOCURRENCY, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP OR FIVE U.S. DOLLARS (US$5.00). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
12. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Project Dead Channel LLC and its officers, members, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your misuse of the App, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
13. Updates and Changes to the App
We may, but are not obligated to, provide updates, bug fixes, or new versions of the App. Any updates are subject to this Agreement unless accompanied by a separate license. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App, in whole or in part, at any time without liability to you.
14. Term and Termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated. Your rights under this Agreement will terminate automatically, without notice, if you fail to comply with any of its terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the App and delete all copies from your devices. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
15. Changes to This Agreement
We may update this Agreement from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Effective Date" at the top of this Agreement, and the updated Agreement will be made available within the App or through the applicable app store. Your continued use of the App after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated Agreement.
16. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The foregoing does not limit any mandatory consumer protection rights you may have under the laws of your country of residence.
17. Apple App Store Additional Terms

19. Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
