Terms of Service

1. Agreement Scope

These Terms are a legal agreement between you and the Switchboard app developer ("we", "us"), not Apple. Switchboard provides shared boards with groups, sections, switches, and board-level actions such as sound and haptic triggers.

2. Eligibility and Platform Terms

You must comply with applicable law and the terms of the platforms you use, including Apple App Store and device usage rules where relevant. These Terms supplement those platform terms.

3. License Grant and Restrictions

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for lawful purposes on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and applicable platform rules.

• Do not reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the App except where law permits.
• Do not use the App to violate law, third-party rights, or platform rules.
• Do not attempt to interfere with the service, backend, or other users' board access.

4. Shared Access and Join Codes

Switchboard uses a six-digit frequency so people can join the same board. Boards may also require a six-digit passcode. You are responsible for deciding who receives those codes. Anyone who joins successfully can see and interact with the shared board state made available to that board.

5. Board Content and User Responsibility

You are responsible for the titles, notes, labels, colors, and switch states you create or share through Switchboard. Do not create or share unlawful, infringing, abusive, threatening, or exploitative material. Avoid placing sensitive information in a board: every joined participant can see the shared content.

You retain ownership of your content. By creating or sharing it through Switchboard, you grant us permission to store, process, and display it only as needed to operate the shared-board service and make it available to people who join your board. You must have the rights needed to share it.

Report content or access concerns through Switchboard Support. We may remove content or restrict service access when investigating abuse or a violation of these Terms.

6. Inactivity Deletion

Switchboard includes automatic cleanup for inactive boards. Based on the current service settings, a board may be deleted if it has not been edited for 30 days and has not been viewed for 7 days. This is intended to remove abandoned boards from the shared service.

7. Service Availability and Apple Device Behavior

Switchboard depends on device connectivity, backend availability, and Apple platform behavior, including WatchConnectivity and system audio or haptic services where applicable. Those services may change or be unavailable due to network, platform, region, or device conditions.

8. Maintenance and Support

To the extent required by law, we are responsible for App maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Switchboard.

9. Intellectual Property

The App, service, branding, and content supplied by us are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for your limited license under these Terms, all rights are reserved.

10. Warranty Disclaimer

The App and related service are provided "as is" and "as available" to the maximum extent permitted by law. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, reliability, and uninterrupted availability.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost access, or losses resulting from service interruption, unauthorized code sharing, or inactive board deletion.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time by leaving boards and uninstalling the App.

13. Apple Third-Party Beneficiary

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date on this page.
