Please read these Terms carefully. By installing or using HearthVault (the App), you agree to these Terms of Use (Terms). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and to the rules of the store through which you obtained it. You may not reverse engineer, resell, or redistribute the App except as permitted by applicable law.
The App is a tool that helps you create and manage backup copies of files you select. It is an aid, not a guarantee. A backup tool cannot, and does not, promise that data will never be lost. You remain solely responsible for your data and for maintaining an adequate backup strategy.
You are responsible for: choosing appropriate source folders and backup destinations; ensuring you have enough storage and that destination drives or computers are connected and working; keeping more than one copy of important data (for example following the 3-2-1 approach); periodically verifying and test-restoring your backups; and securing your devices, accounts, network, and any pairing keys. A backup that was never successfully completed, or a destination that was disconnected, offline, full, or failing, may not contain your data.
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE; THAT IT WILL PREVENT DATA LOSS; THAT BACKUPS WILL BE COMPLETE, ACCURATE, OR RECOVERABLE IN EVERY SITUATION; OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage arising from causes outside the App's control, including but not limited to: hardware, disk, or storage-media failure; operating system or driver problems; power loss or interruption; user error, accidental deletion, or misconfiguration; ransomware, viruses, or other malicious software; theft or physical damage to devices; failures, outages, or data handling of third-party cloud services; the configuration, performance, or security of your network, router, or internet connection; and any files that were not successfully backed up before an incident. We are not responsible for your cloud connection or for the availability of any third-party service.
The Family Mesh add-on adds its own local communication path between your own devices on your local network. It does not manage, reconfigure, or take responsibility for your router, DNS, DHCP, internet exposure, or overall network security, which remain your responsibility.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE APP (OR, IF YOU OBTAINED IT FOR FREE, A TOTAL OF USD 10). NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.
Cloud storage providers and any other third-party services you use with the App are governed by their own terms and policies. Your use of them is at your own risk and is between you and that provider.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses arising from your misuse of the App or your violation of these Terms or of applicable law.
We may update, change, or discontinue features of the App, and we may revise these Terms. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and subject to any mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect.
