Licence agreement
The short version
You get to use the app on your own devices, for yourself. You do not own it and cannot resell, copy or pull it apart. It is provided as it is. We do our best, but we cannot promise your mates will turn up.
1. What you are getting
Ahmed ElZarw grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive licence to install and use R U Free? on devices you own or control. You are licensed to use the app, not sold it. We keep everything we have not expressly given you here.
The licence lasts as long as you follow this agreement and the Terms & conditions. Delete your account or the app and it ends.
2. What you may not do
Do not copy, sell, rent, sub-licence or redistribute the app.
Do not reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except where that right cannot be excluded by law. In Australia the Copyright Act permits certain interoperability and error-correction work, and nothing here takes that away.
Do not remove any notices from it, or pass parts of it off as your own.
Do not use it to build a competing service, or run automated scripts against our servers. Rate limits are enforced on our side, and accounts that hammer them get closed.
Do not use it to post objectionable content or to abuse anyone. There is no tolerance for either: see section 3 of the Terms & conditions, and the Report and Block tools in the app.
3. Your content stays yours
Your calendar, your locations, your circles and anything you type remain yours. You give us only the permission we need to run the service for you: storing it, and showing it to the people you have granted access.
That permission ends when you delete it. Deleting your account removes your data straight away.
4. Updates
We may issue updates, and some will be required for the app to keep working, usually when the server side changes. Your device may install them automatically depending on your settings.
We may add, change or withdraw features. If we withdraw something you have paid for, the Refund policy applies.
5. Provided as it is
The app is provided as it is, without promises that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We do not guarantee that a shared gap is genuinely free, that a friend is where their pin says, or that anyone replies to an invitation. Check with your mates before relying on any of it.
Nothing here excludes the guarantees you have under the Australian Consumer Law. Where those apply and cannot be excluded, our liability is limited to re-supplying the service or paying the cost of doing so.
6. Other people's work
Map and place data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence (openstreetmap.org/copyright). Map tiles from OpenFreeMap.
7. If we disagree
This agreement is governed by the law of Victoria, Australia, and the courts there deal with any dispute.
8. Copyright complaints
If you believe something in the app infringes your copyright, write to rufreeapp@gmail.com with the subject "Copyright notice". Tell us what the work is, where it appears, how to reach you, and that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised.
Notices under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act should go to the same address, addressed to the Copyright Agent, Ahmed ElZarw, Victoria, Australia. Include the statements section 512(c)(3) requires, signed physically or electronically, including that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for them.
We remove infringing material when a notice checks out, and we may close accounts that infringe repeatedly. If your material was removed and you think that was wrong, send a counter-notice to the same address and we will pass it on.
9. Apple
For the iOS version: this agreement is between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, and has no obligation to provide support for it.
If the app fails to conform to any warranty, you may tell Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price; beyond that, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim about the app: product liability, a failure to meet a legal requirement, or a privacy claim. If a third party claims the app infringes their intellectual property, we are responsible for that, not Apple.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, and may enforce it against you.
You confirm you are not in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and you are not on any US Government prohibited-parties list.
