Terms of Service

Super CodeReader Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of Super CodeReader for Android (com.gaocang.scanner), the free, ad-supported Coolqoo scanner distributed through Google Play.

1. Agreement to these terms

By installing or using Super CodeReader, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app and uninstall it. These terms cover the free Super CodeReader edition only; Super CodeReader Pro has its own terms.

You must be old enough to consent to digital services in your country to use the app. If you are below that age, use it only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

2. Your licence to use Super CodeReader

Coolqoo grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use Super CodeReader on devices you control, for your own use, subject to these terms and to the Google Play terms that apply to the download.

You may not sell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the app, reverse engineer it except where the law expressly allows it, or use it to build a competing product.

3. Free app and Google Play

Super CodeReader is free to download. Google Play distributes the app under Google's own terms and handles the listing, installation, and device compatibility checks. If Google Play's terms conflict with these terms on a point that concerns the store itself, Google Play's terms apply to that point.

4. Advertising

The free edition is supported by advertising delivered through Google AdMob, with consent managed through Google's User Messaging Platform where the law requires it. Advertising is part of the free edition, and ad requests start only when your consent status allows them.

How ads appear and what data Google may process depends on your region, your consent choices, and your Android and Google settings. The Super CodeReader Privacy Policy describes these choices in detail.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Super CodeReader to:

  • create codes that impersonate another person, brand, or service, or that direct people to unlawful, fraudulent, or malicious destinations;
  • scan, decode, or distribute codes you have no right to read, including codes used to protect someone else's private information;
  • interfere with the app, attempt to bypass its security or licensing controls, or use it in a way that damages Coolqoo or third-party services;
  • make available content that infringes copyright, trade mark, privacy, or other rights.

6. Scanned and created content

You keep whatever rights you have in the codes you create and the content you scan. Coolqoo does not claim ownership of your scanned results, saved images, or exported files.

You are responsible for what you create and share. A QR code or barcode can contain a web address, contact details, Wi-Fi credentials, payment request, or other instructions, and anyone who scans it may act on that content. Review a code before you publish, print, or send it, and keep your own copy of anything you cannot regenerate.

7. Scan safety

Scanned codes can link to sites or apps that Coolqoo does not control. Check the destination before opening a link, making a payment, connecting to a network, or sharing information, and do not act on a code from a source you do not trust.

The app recognizes codes as accurately as it can, but a scan can fail, misread, or return unexpected content, particularly with damaged, stylized, or very dense codes. Confirm important results by another means.

8. Third-party services

Super CodeReader relies on services operated by Google, including Google Play, Google AdMob, Google's User Messaging Platform, Firebase Analytics, and Firebase Crashlytics. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and Coolqoo does not control them.

See Google Play's Terms of Service and Google's Terms of Service.

9. Privacy

The Super CodeReader Privacy Policy explains what information the app and its third-party services handle, and the choices available to you. It is a separate document from these terms.

10. Availability and updates

Coolqoo may release updates, change features, or stop distributing Super CodeReader. Some features depend on your Android version, camera hardware, available storage, and network access, and may not work on every device.

Nothing in these terms obliges Coolqoo to keep any particular feature available indefinitely.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the extent permitted by law, Super CodeReader is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Coolqoo does not warrant that a scan will succeed, that decoded content will be accurate, or that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Nothing in these terms limits any warranty or right that the law of your country of residence does not allow to be excluded.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Coolqoo is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profit, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use Super CodeReader, including losses caused by acting on scanned content or by a failed or misread scan.

Because Super CodeReader is provided free of charge, Coolqoo's total liability arising out of or relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid for it, to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, and nothing here reduces mandatory consumer rights you have where you live.

13. Termination

You may end this agreement at any time by uninstalling Super CodeReader. Coolqoo may suspend or end your licence if you materially breach these terms or use the app in a way that harms Coolqoo, other users, or third parties.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including sections 6, 7, 11, and 12, continue to apply.

14. Changes to these terms

Coolqoo may update these terms to reflect product, legal, or operational changes. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current version. If a change materially affects your rights, Coolqoo will present it in the app or on this page before it takes effect. Continuing to use Super CodeReader after an update means you accept the updated terms.

15. Contact

Questions about these terms, or a dispute you want to raise before taking any other step, can be sent to [email protected]. Coolqoo will try to resolve the matter directly with you first.

Super CodeReader privacy practices are described separately in the Super CodeReader Privacy Policy.
