Polaroid Film B.V. (‘Polaroid’) provides an application for smart devices (‘Polaroid App’) by means of which the user of the Polaroid App (‘User’) can create high quality digital copies of its analog Polaroid pictures and share them instantly with the scanner feature. When using the lab feature of the Polaroid App in combination with the Polaroid Lab device, a User can make its digital photos from its smart device in the form of authentic analog Polaroid pictures. In addition, the User can link digital media to these analog Polaroid pictures, resulting in a small barcode being placed on the analog Polaroid picture. The barcode can be scanned in the Polaroids App, after which the digital media file behind the Polaroid picture (the “AR Picture”) can be viewed.
These terms of use (‘Terms of Use’) are applicable to any use of the Polaroid App by the User. By downloading and/or using the Polaroid App the User acknowledges that he has read, understood and agrees to be bound by the Terms of Use.

Polaroid has no obligation to monitor any Content or use of the Polaroid App. However, Polaroid can at its own discretion decide to disable or delete Content or accounts, and work with law enforcement when Polaroid believes the Content is objectionable (e.g. in the event of Content that shows criminal behavior, violence, sexual (child) abuse, sexual solicitation, adult nudity, etc.), there is a genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public safety and/or the User is in breach of these Terms of Use.
1.4. Polaroid provides the Polaroid App on an “as is, as available” basis and does not guarantee that the Polaroid App will always be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, nor that the use of the Polaroid App will be secure.

User is solely responsible for any damage to his computer system or any other equipment or loss or corruption of data that results from the download of any such material.

The User can end this license any time by deleting his Content or account.

5.3. The User decides whether the AR Picture is only visible for himself or is also publically visible for other persons who scan the barcode on the corresponding analog Polaroid picture.
