3. License and open source
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services for their intended purpose: sharing files and messages you have the right to handle, for personal use or internal use by your organization.
The AirFlash client source code is also licensed under the open-source license in the project repository (Apache License 2.0). These Terms do not replace or limit the rights that license grants you in the source code. If these Terms conflict with that license regarding the source code, the open-source license controls. For the compiled App, our trademarks, the official Website, and official distribution channels, these Terms control.
You may not (and may not allow others to):
- remove or obscure copyright, trademark, or other notices, except as the open-source license expressly allows;
- use our name, marks, or product appearance in a way that suggests you are the official AirFlash publisher;
- circumvent security, discovery, or transfer mechanisms except as expressly allowed by the open-source license and applicable law (for example legitimate research or interoperability);
- use the Services for activities forbidden in Section 5.
The “AirFlash” name and related marks are owned by their respective owners. These Terms do not transfer any trademark rights to you.
4. Accounts
The Services do not require you to create an account, sign in, or give us identity details to use core features. There is no cloud user-profile database in the sense of a hackable “account.”
You remain responsible for settings, local certificates, PINs, saved files, and transfers made from your device. Keep the device secure so unauthorized people cannot send content through your copy of AirFlash.
5. Your responsibilities and prohibited use
You are solely responsible for all content you send, receive, store, or display through the Services, including files, messages, APK packages, and material offered via a share link.
You agree to:
- transfer only content you have the right to share, with all needed permissions or consents;
- comply with the laws of your location and any other jurisdiction involved in a transfer, including copyright, privacy, export control, cybersecurity, and anti-malware rules;
- send content only to devices you trust and networks you are allowed to use;
- not interfere with others’ devices, networks, or services.
You must not use the Services to engage in or facilitate (including by sending such material):
- infringement of copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other proprietary rights;
- malware, exploits, ransomware, or unauthorized backdoors or spyware;
- fraud, phishing, identity theft, or unauthorized access to systems;
- illegal obscenity or any child sexual exploitation or sexual content involving minors (zero tolerance);
- harassment, threats, defamation, or content that violates applicable hate- or violence-related laws;
- transfers that violate export, sanctions, or confidentiality duties;
- any other unlawful act or violation of third-party rights.
You choose your LAN peers. We cannot see the files you transfer and cannot vet whether a peer is safe or lawful. Receiving files from unknown devices—especially executables or APKs—is risky; decide carefully before installing anything.
If we receive a valid notice of infringement or illegality, or reasonably believe you have seriously breached these Terms, we may, to the extent the law allows, refuse support, restrict access via official distribution channels, or take other steps the law requires. That does not take away rights you have under the open-source license to compile the source yourself.
6. Device permissions and your role
The App requests system permissions so it can discover devices, pick and save files, and show progress. The full list, purposes, and what leaves the device are in the Privacy Policy. For use of the Services:
- Storage and media permissions let the App read files you send and save files you receive. Pick only what you intend to share. Photos may include EXIF (including a capture location) that a peer can see.
- Local network permission is for LAN discovery and transfer, not GPS tracking.
- Notifications and foreground services show progress and reduce the chance the system kills a transfer.
- “Send app (APK)” lists installed apps on the device so you can pick one. We do not upload that list. Only a package you select and send goes to the peer.
- Install-packages permission is used only if you open a received APK. Do not install software from sources you do not trust.
You may deny some permissions in system settings; related features may stop working. Denying a permission does not excuse your other obligations under these Terms.
7. Third parties and peer devices
The Services may include or rely on third-party components and services, including:
- Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (usage analytics and crash diagnostics), subject to Google’s terms and privacy policy;
- share sheets, file pickers, notifications, and installers provided by the OS, store, or device maker;
- browsers on your or a peer’s device (for share-via-link);
- websites you open, including analytics that may be embedded on https://airflash.net.
Third-party terms and privacy policies apply separately. We are not liable for third parties’ acts or omissions except where applicable law does not allow us to exclude that liability.
The peer users and devices you transfer with are not a “service” we control. They are responsible for how they use, keep, or further share what you send.
8. “As is”; disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided “as is,” “as available,” and “with all faults.”
We and our licensors disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted or error-free operation, security, and compatibility with your devices or network. Open-source software may include contributions from many people; we do not warrant that it is free of defects.
You use the Services at your own risk, including the risk of lost files, failed transfers, a peer declining a transfer, battery use, and harm from software you receive and install.
Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties. In those places, the exclusions apply only as far as the law allows, and any required warranty lasts only for the shortest period the law requires.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- we, and our officers, employees, agents, and licensors, are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising from the Services or these Terms, including loss of profits, goodwill, data, files, or business opportunity, even if advised that such damages were possible;
- our total liability to you or any third party is limited to the amount you actually paid us for the Services in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim. If the Services are free of charge, that cap is zero, or the minimum amount the law requires if a zero cap is not allowed.
These limits do not apply to our willful misconduct or fraud, or to liability that applicable law does not allow to be limited (for example certain personal-injury claims).
You agree that transfers happen on the local network and that we cannot restore files you did not back up. Keep your own backups of important data.
10. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless DEEPTOKEN LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from claims, demands, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of:
- your breach of these Terms or applicable law;
- content you send, receive, or make available through the Services that infringes others’ rights or is unlawful;
- your misuse of the Services, or use of the Services by someone you allowed to access your device.
We may (but need not) assume exclusive defense of any matter subject to this indemnity, at our expense; you will reasonably cooperate.
11. Changes, suspension, and termination
We may update these Terms. We will post the new Terms on this page (or the corresponding Website page) and change the effective date. If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will take reasonable extra steps to notify you, such as a Website or in-App notice. Continued use after the new Terms take effect means you accept them. If you do not agree, stop using the Services and uninstall the App.
We may also suspend or stop all or part of the Services (including store distribution or Website features) for maintenance, security, legal reasons, unused interfaces, or because we decide to discontinue the product. Where the law allows, we owe no compensation for doing so.
You may stop using the Services and uninstall the App at any time. Sections 8, 9, and 10, and any terms that by their nature should survive, remain in effect after termination.
12. Governing law and disputes
Except where this would override mandatory consumer-protection rules you cannot waive, these Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which DEEPTOKEN LLC is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
We do not designate a specific forum in this document. If a dispute arises, the parties will first try to resolve it in good faith by emailing developer@airflash.net. If that fails, either party may seek relief in a court that has jurisdiction under applicable law. If you are a consumer entitled to mandatory protections, you may also bring claims in the authorities or courts of your place of residence.
If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining Terms stay in force.
Failure or delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. These Terms create no third-party beneficiaries, except rights contributors have under the open-source license. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor. These Terms are the entire agreement on this subject and supersede prior oral or written understandings, except as the open-source license provides otherwise.
