DropKite Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your use of the DropKite mobile application (the “App”), provided by Paul James Hatton, trading as MySQLBot (“we”, “us”, “our”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Licence to use the App
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own lawful use, in accordance with these Terms and with the Google Play Terms of Service. You may not sell, rent, sub-licence, or redistribute the App, and you may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract its source code except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
2. What the App does
DropKite runs a small, temporary web server on your phone so that another device on the same local network, usually your Wi-Fi (such as a computer with a web browser), can send files to, and receive files from, your phone. The App does not upload your files to us or to any cloud service, and does not require an account. Files you receive are saved on your device.
3. Your responsibilities
- You are responsible for all files you transfer using the App and for ensuring you have the right to transfer them.
- You must not use the App to store, send, or receive any content that is unlawful, infringes someone else’s rights, or breaches any applicable law or regulation.
- You are responsible for the network you use. A transfer session is protected by an access code — a PIN the App generates and shows on your phone, or a password you set yourself after purchasing the unlock — and is reachable by other devices on the same local network while it is running. Keep your access code private and use the App on networks you trust.
- You must not interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the App, other users’ devices, or any network.
4. Purchases
The App is free to download and includes an optional one-time in-app purchase that unlocks additional features. It is a single purchase, not a subscription. All purchases are processed by Google Play, and are subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Refunds are handled by Google Play in accordance with its policies. Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded by law.
5. Third-party services and open-source software
The App is distributed through Google Play and uses the Google Play Billing Library, a library provided by Google, for in-app purchases; your use of Google Play and its billing service is governed by Google’s terms and policies. The App also includes open-source components, including NanoHTTPD (BSD 3-Clause License) and qrcode-generator (MIT License), each subject to its own licence.
6. Availability and changes
We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time; when we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above, and material changes will be reflected in an App update. Your continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
7. No warranty
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that every file will transfer without error. The App is a convenience tool for moving files and is not a backup service — always keep your own copy of important files. This section does not exclude or limit any warranty or right that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any loss of or damage to data, loss of profits, or any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the App. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Where our liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, it is limited to the total amount you have paid for the App (if any).
9. Termination
These Terms apply while you use the App. You may stop using the App and uninstall it at any time. We may suspend or end your licence to use the App if you materially breach these Terms.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. This does not affect any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the law of your country of residence.
