Review destinations before opening them. Keep enough contrast in custom designs and test a code before printing or distributing it. cueR is a code-scanning utility, not a flashcard or study app. Privacy: https://apple.caserlegal.com/privacy.html Terms: https://apple.caserlegal.com/terms.html Support: https://apple.caserlegal.com/support.html EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
