Terms of Service for Your Launcher: Custom & Smart

Last updated: November 7, 2026

These terms cover the Android app Your Launcher: Custom & Smart (“the app”) and its optional Pro purchase. Read them with the Privacy Policy. They are also available in Turkish; if the two versions differ, the reading more favourable to you applies.

1. Who we are

The app is developed and offered by Abdulkadir Avcı (“we”, “us”; shown on Google Play as Kadir Avcı), an individual developer who offers it as a hobby project and does not act as a trader. You can reach us by email at contact@kadiravci.info.

These terms are an agreement between you and us only. Google is not a party to them and has no obligations or liability under them. Google Play’s own terms govern your use of Google Play and the payment for Pro.

2. Accepting these terms

These terms are linked in the app under Settings > About > Terms of Service and on the Pro screen next to the buy button, and you can save or print this page. They apply to your use of the app once they have been available to you there; if you do not agree, do not use the app. Pro is bought only from the Pro screen: by tapping its buy button, with these terms linked beside it, you accept the version in force on that date, and it forms part of the purchase. This page is a dated document; earlier versions are available from us by email.

3. The app and your licence

The app is a home screen (launcher) for Android 8.0 and later. It is proprietary software, © 2026 Kadir Avcı, all rights reserved, except for the open-source components below. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, worldwide and perpetual licence to install and use the app, as distributed through Google Play, on devices you own or control, including to recolour or theme its icon.

The app includes open-source components under their own licences: Apache License 2.0 (including parts of the Android Open Source Project and Lawnchair), MIT, BSD-3-Clause, Mozilla Public License 2.0 and GNU GPL v2 with the Classpath Exception. They are listed with their full licence texts under Settings > About > Open-source licenses. These terms do not limit your rights under those licences; where they conflict, the component’s licence prevails for that component. Google software in the app (Google Play Billing, Google Mobile Ads, User Messaging Platform) is provided under Google’s terms.

4. Free features and ads

Every launcher feature is free. The free version shows one ad banner (Google AdMob) on the Settings screen; there are no ads on the home screen, in the app drawer or in search. Where the law requires it, Google’s User Messaging Platform asks for your consent before ads are requested, and you can change your choice under Settings > Privacy options. The Privacy Policy explains how ad-related data is handled.

5. Pro (optional one-time purchase)

What Pro gives you. Pro is an optional, one-time in-app purchase that removes the ad banner in Settings and supports development. It unlocks no features: every launcher feature remains available without it. It is not a subscription and does not renew.

Price and payment. The Pro screen shows the price in your currency; in some countries, such as the United States, that price is before tax. Before you pay, Google Play’s purchase dialog shows the final price, including any taxes Google Play applies, and that is the amount you pay. Payment is made only through Google Play under the Google Play Terms of Service, and we never receive your card or bank details.

Ordering, delivery and restoring. You buy Pro from Settings > Remove ads — Pro. Google Play’s dialog shows your account, payment method and price before you confirm, and Google Play emails you a confirmation. Pro is activated as soon as Google Play confirms the payment; a pending payment activates it only after that confirmation. If a purchase cannot be confirmed with Google Play within three days, Google Play refunds it automatically. Pro belongs to your Google account: it is restored when you install the app with the same account, or with Restore purchase on the Pro screen, and the last known status is kept on the device for offline use.

Refunds and cancellation. Purchases, refunds and cancellations are handled by Google Play under the Google Play Terms of Service and the Google Play refund policy (in the EEA and the United Kingdom, Google Play’s refund policy for the EEA and the UK). If Pro does not work as described, email us with your Google Play order number (it starts with GPA.); we will try to fix the problem, and we can also refund the purchase through Google Play. A refunded, revoked or charged-back purchase removes Pro.

6. Optional features and third-party services

  • Web search suggestions are off by default. If you turn them on, what you type is sent to the provider you choose (Google, DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Startpage EU, Kagi or a custom address) under its terms.
  • Semantic search is a beta feature, off by default. If you turn it on, the app downloads a language model of about 165 MB from Hugging Face (huggingface.co) through Android’s Download Manager. As with any download, Hugging Face receives your device’s IP address and the request itself (the file requested, the time and the Download Manager’s user agent); no search text, app list or other personal data is sent with it. Searches then run only on your device, and the model and the search index stay there. Turning the feature off deletes the model, so turning it on again downloads it again, and a download that fails its integrity check is deleted and has to be downloaded again. As a beta, it may change, may not work on every device and may be withdrawn.
  • Backup. When backup is on in your device settings, Android Auto Backup and device-to-device transfer are handled by Google under your Google account. Backup files you export yourself are not encrypted and stay where you save them.
  • Google Play services are needed for buying and restoring Pro and for ads.

These services run under their operators’ own terms, and we do not control their availability. The Privacy Policy explains what data web search suggestions, ads, backup and Google Play services receive, and what Hugging Face receives (your IP address and the request details) when semantic search downloads its model.

7. Acceptable use

You must not use the app to break the law or infringe others’ rights; bypass or tamper with the Pro check or Google Play Billing, or distribute tools for doing so; or sell, rent or redistribute the app or modified versions of it, or remove its copyright or licence notices. You may reverse engineer or decompile the app only as far as applicable law (for example, for interoperability) or the open-source licence of a component allows. These restrictions cover our own code and the app as a whole, not the rights open-source licences give you in their components.

8. Updates and changes to the app

We provide updates through Google Play, including the security updates needed to keep the app working as described, for at least as long as the law requires and you can reasonably expect; we do not promise a fixed minimum period beyond that. We change or remove features only for a valid reason: security, compliance with law or Google Play policies, changes in Android, the end of a third-party service, or the end of a beta. Such changes cost you nothing and are described in the release notes. We do not intend to reduce what Pro gives you; if a valid reason ever made it necessary, we would announce it in advance in the release notes and on this page, and you could end your Pro purchase by emailing us within 30 days of the announcement or of the change taking effect, whichever is later; we will then refund it through Google Play.

9. Availability

Availability through Google Play in your country, and of third-party services, may change. If we stop distributing the app, installed copies keep working as far as they can, and your Pro purchase stays recorded with your Google account.

10. Warranty and liability

We build the app carefully, but cannot promise it will run without interruption or error on every device or Android version. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits:

  • any statutory rights you have under the law that applies to you, including any rights you have if the app or Pro is faulty or not as described;
  • our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, intent or gross negligence, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited under the law that applies to you.

Subject to this, and as far as the law allows, we are not liable for loss that was not reasonably foreseeable, or that was caused by third-party services or events beyond our reasonable control.

11. Ending use

You can stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it; there is no account to close. Uninstalling does not cancel or refund Pro: the purchase stays with your Google account and returns if you reinstall. We do not disable installed copies remotely.

12. Changes to these terms

We update these terms only for a valid reason, such as a change in the app, the law or Google Play’s policies. We publish the new version here with a new date and announce material changes in the release notes at least 30 days before they take effect, unless the law requires a change sooner. Changes are not retroactive and do not reduce your rights under a Pro purchase already made. If you do not agree to a change, you can stop using the app.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Türkiye. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you habitually reside, and you can bring proceedings in the courts where you live. Where Law No. 6502 applies, consumers in Türkiye can apply to the Consumer Arbitration Committee (Tüketici Hakem Heyeti) within the monetary limits the Ministry of Trade sets each year, and above them to the Consumer Courts (Tüketici Mahkemesi), after mediation where Law No. 6502 requires it. You may email us first, but you need not do so before using these routes.

14. Contact

For questions, support, complaints or refund requests, email contact@kadiravci.info, with your Google Play order number for purchase questions. We usually reply within a few business days.
