Terms of service

Smarter Audio Player

Last updated:

Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using the Smarter Audio Player Android app (the "App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

The service

The App is an audiobook and long-form audio player that lets you browse, scan and stream audio from storage sources you configure — folders on your device, network shares, cloud drives — through a single library on your device. Some features, such as network sources or Google Drive integration, may require you to purchase a one-off unlock via the Google Play in-app billing system; purchases are handled by Google Play and are subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.

Your accounts and content

You are responsible for the accounts, servers and files you point the App at. You represent that you have the legal right to access and stream any content you ask the App to play, and that you will not use the App to access, store or distribute content in a way that infringes anyone's copyright, contract, or other rights.

The App does not host, sell, curate or provide any audio content. Everything the App plays comes from a source you have configured.

Third-party services

If you connect the App to a third-party service (for example, Google Drive, Nextcloud, or your NAS's WebDAV endpoint), your use of that service is governed by that service's own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the availability, correctness, security, or content of any third-party service you configure.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Reverse-engineer or attempt to derive source code from the App, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits (for example, EU software interoperability rules).
• Use the App to distribute malware, spam, or other malicious content.
• Circumvent access controls on any third-party service, or use credentials you do not own or are not authorised to use.
• Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or overload our website or any part of the App.

Updates

The App may be updated from time to time. Some updates may add, change, or remove features. Where feasible we will preserve backward compatibility with the local data on your device.

Warranty disclaimer

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any specific storage source or third-party service will remain compatible over time.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of playback progress, loss of audio files, or loss of access to any third-party service. Our aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid (if any) for the App in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate the availability of the App, or any part of it, at any time and without notice, for any reason.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Substantive changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top. Your continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of London, England, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of London, England for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms.
