96 Check App
Terms of Use
Scope, responsibilities, and limits when using 96 Check App.
Operated by: the independent developer of 96 Check App (“the Developer”). 96 Check App is an independent, informational tool. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by Apple Inc. “Apple”, “iPhone”, and “iPad” are trademarks of Apple Inc., used here only for identification.
At a glance
- 96 Check App is an independent, informational tool, not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by Apple Inc.
- Only look up devices you own or are authorised to check.
- Built to help you avoid stolen or blacklisted devices, never to traffic, unlock, or conceal them.
- It's a software-based records check, it cannot tell you the device's hardware condition or detect physical faults. Inspect the device yourself.
- Results are provided “as is” for reference, never your sole basis for a purchase.
- To the maximum extent allowed by law, the developer and founder accept no liability for your use of the App or its results.
What changed in this version
- Clarified what we share with Apple when the App Store reviews a refund request.
1. Acceptance of these terms
By downloading, accessing, or using 96 Check App (the “App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and the App’s independent developer and founder (together, the “Developer”).
In short
- Using the App means you accept these Terms in full.
2. What the App is
The App is an independent utility that returns status information for a device identifier (such as an IMEI or serial number) that you enter, for your own informational reference. It is NOT a device-unlocking, activation-bypass, anti-theft, or official verification service, it is not connected to any device manufacturer, and it does not modify, unlock, or alter any device in any way. The App is a software-based records check: it looks up status information held in third-party databases for the identifier you enter. It does not physically inspect the device's hardware and cannot assess or detect its hardware condition or any fault, for example the screen, battery, camera, logic board, water damage, or prior repairs. Inspecting and testing the physical device is your own responsibility before any transaction.
In short
- Independent app, not an Apple Inc. product or service.
- Informational reference only, it changes nothing on any device.
- A software-based records check only, it does not inspect hardware or detect physical faults.
3. Acceptable use
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and only to look up identifiers for devices that you own or are expressly authorised to check. You must not use the App to locate, track, harass, or compromise any person or device, to circumvent any security measure, to build a competing database, to scrape, automate, or resell results, or in any manner that violates applicable law or the rights of others. For security and integrity reasons, the App does not run on compromised devices, including those that are jailbroken, rooted, or otherwise modified to bypass operating-system protections, and you must not attempt to circumvent this restriction.
In short
- Check only devices you own or are authorised to check.
- No unlawful, abusive, automated, or large-scale use.
- The App won’t run on jailbroken, rooted, or otherwise compromised devices.
Important4. Stolen, lost & blacklisted devices
The App is intended to help honest users, especially people buying a second-hand device, to AVOID stolen, lost, or blacklisted devices. You must NOT use the App to facilitate, conceal, launder, advertise, or resell any device you know or suspect to be lost or stolen, nor to evade or defeat any carrier block, blacklist, Activation Lock, Find My, or iCloud lock. The App only reports status from third-party data; it never unlocks, removes, bypasses, or alters any lock or protection on any device. A result indicating that a device is blacklisted, in Lost Mode, or has Find My / Activation Lock enabled is a warning that you should not proceed with the transaction. If you believe a device is lost or stolen, do not buy or sell it, and report it to the marketplace and the appropriate authorities.
In short
- Built to help you AVOID stolen, lost, or blacklisted devices, not to traffic them.
- The App never unlocks or bypasses Activation Lock, Find My, iCloud, or carrier blocks.
- A “blacklisted / Lost Mode / Find My on” result means: do not proceed.
Important5. No warranty & accuracy
The App and all results are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Results depend on third-party data sources that may be incomplete, delayed, or incorrect. You must not rely on any result as the sole basis for a purchase, sale, valuation, or other decision.
In short
- No guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or availability.
- Never your only basis for a transaction.
Important6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer, its founder, owners, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profit, data, goodwill, or opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App or any reliance on its results, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. You use the App entirely at your own risk. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited in aggregate to the amount you paid through the App in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 10, whichever is lower.
In short
- You use the App entirely at your own risk.
- The developer and founder accept no liability for any outcome.
- Any unavoidable liability is capped at the lower of fees paid or USD 10.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Developer and its founder from and against any claim, demand, liability, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any law or third-party right.
In short
- You cover the developer for claims caused by your use of the App.
8. Purchases & payments
Some lookups are paid and offered as one-time in-app purchases processed by the App Store. The Developer never receives or stores your payment-card details. A successful purchase pays for processing a single lookup request; it does not guarantee that any specific data field will be returned, as that depends on the underlying sources. All billing, cancellations, and refunds are handled by the App Store under its own policies.
To help the App Store review a refund request, the Developer may confirm to Apple whether the related lookup was delivered, along with basic purchase information for your account in the App.
In short
- Paid lookups are billed and refunded through the App Store.
- Payment covers processing a request, not a guaranteed result.
9. App Store terms
You obtained the App from the Apple App Store, and Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of it. This agreement is concluded between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple; Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for any maintenance, support, and warranty, and for addressing any claim that the App, or your use of it, infringes a third party’s rights or fails to comply with the law. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
In short
- Your agreement is with the Developer, not Apple.
- Apple isn’t responsible for the App, its support, or its results.
10. Intellectual property
The App, its design, and its original content are owned by the Developer and protected by applicable law. All other product names, logos, and trademarks, including Apple, iPhone, and iPad, are the property of their respective owners and are used here only for identification. Their use does not imply any affiliation with, or endorsement by, those owners.
In short
- Third-party trademarks belong to their respective owners.
11. Changes, termination & governing law
The Developer may update these Terms or may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App, in whole or in part, at any time. Material changes are surfaced in-app, and your continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at the Developer’s principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
In short
- Continued use after an update means you accept the new Terms.
- If one clause is invalid, the rest still applies.
