Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a legal agreement between you and Chuan Chih Co., Ltd. ("Chuan Chih", "we", "us") regarding your use of the HomiPlay application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By registering an account, downloading, installing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

If you are under 18, you may use the Service only after your legal guardian has read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. The Service is not designed for children under 13.

1. Definitions

• Service: HomiPlay's peer-to-peer (P2P) remote connectivity, Remote Desktop, File Transfer, Terminal, Services, Home Center, and related features, including the application, website, and backend.
• Account: the identity you register with an email address to use the Service.
• Plan: the "Free" and "Pro" tiers of the Service; features and limits are described on the Pro page of our website.
• Content / Traffic: the data and network traffic you transmit through the Service. HomiPlay transmits it via direct P2P connections; we do not inspect or log its contents (see the Privacy Policy).
• Device: the equipment on which you install and sign in to the Service.

2. Service & License

• Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Chuan Chih grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to use the Service for your own lawful purposes.
• The Service, its software, trademarks, interfaces, and all related intellectual property are owned by Chuan Chih or its licensors; all rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved.

You must not:

• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the software (except where permitted by law);
• remove or alter any proprietary notices;
• resell, sublicense, distribute, or make unauthorized commercial use of the Service;
• circumvent or defeat plan limits on features, speed, device count, or usage time.

3. Account Registration & Security

• You must provide accurate, complete registration information and keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
• Each account is for a single user and may not be shared to circumvent plan limits.

4. Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

When using the Service, you must not, and must not allow others to use your account or devices to:

• engage in any activity that violates the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan) or the laws of your location;
• access, interfere with, or damage others' systems, networks, or data without authorization, including hacking, distributing malware, or denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS) and other malicious attacks;
• transmit or distribute content that infringes others' intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
• use the Service for unauthorized commercial resale, agency, or bulk provision to third parties;
• send spam, or engage in fraud, phishing, or other abusive conduct;
• circumvent or defeat the Service's security or usage limits, or place undue load on the backend through automated means.

HomiPlay is designed for you to connect back to devices and networks you own or are authorized to access. You are solely responsible for all traffic and conduct transmitted through the Service.

5. Subscriptions, Fees & Billing

• Plans & fees: The Service offers Free and Pro. Pro costs US$9.9/month or US$99/year (priced in US dollars). The latest prices shown on our Pro page and in the app prevail.
• How you subscribe: Pro subscriptions are completed within the HomiPlay app — after signing in, go to the "Account & Plan" page to choose a plan; this is the same on mobile and desktop. In-app purchases made via the Apple App Store or Google Play are charged, renewed, and managed under those platforms' respective terms and mechanisms.
• Auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew and are charged automatically for the selected period unless you cancel before the current period ends. You may cancel auto-renewal at any time from the "Account & Plan" page (or App Store / Google Play subscription management); after cancelling, you keep Pro until the end of the current period, with no further charges.
• Taxes: Unless otherwise stated, listed prices may exclude applicable taxes; any such taxes are borne by the party legally responsible for them.
• Price changes: We may adjust fees and will notify you within a reasonable period via a notice on our website or other appropriate means; changes take effect on your next subscription period, and if you do not agree you may cancel before they take effect.

6. Free Plan & 7-Day Pro Trial

• The Free plan offers basic features and is subject to limits on daily usage time, transfer speed, device count, and concurrent sessions (see the Pro page). We may adjust the Free plan's content and limits within reason.
• Each account is eligible for one 7-day free Pro trial; no credit card is required, and it automatically returns to the Free plan when it ends.

7. Refunds

Refunds and cancellations for Pro subscriptions are governed by the Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Purchases made via the App Store / Google Play are additionally governed by those platforms' policies.

8. Intellectual Property

• The Service and all software, designs, trademarks, logos, and content within it belong to Chuan Chih or its licensors.
• You retain your rights in your own data and traffic; you grant us the limited rights necessary to process such data to provide the Service (as described in the Privacy Policy).
• If you provide any feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction and without compensation to improve the Service.

9. Privacy

Our collection, processing, and use of personal data are governed by the Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to that policy.

10. Third-Party Services

Purchasing, downloading, or certain features of the Service may involve third parties (such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, or your internet service provider). Such third-party services are governed by their own terms, are beyond our control, and we are not responsible for them.

11. Changes, Suspension & Termination

• We may add to, modify, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time; we will give appropriate notice of material changes.
• If you violate these Terms (including the AUP) or applicable law, we may suspend or terminate your account and the Service without prior notice; termination for violations is not eligible for any refund (see the Refund Policy).
• You may stop using the Service and delete your account in-app at any time; the effects of deletion are described in the Privacy Policy.
• Provisions that by their nature should survive (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) remain in effect after termination.

12. Disclaimers

• The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no express or implied warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, fit for a particular purpose, or meet your specific needs.
• Connection quality, speed, and latency depend on factors beyond our control, such as your device performance, network environment, connection method, and third-party networks, and are not guaranteed.

13. Limitation of Liability

• To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill.
• Our total aggregate liability arising out of these Terms or the Service is capped at the amount you actually paid us for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim; if you use the Free plan, the cap is US$100.
• This clause does not exclude or limit liability that may not be excluded or limited by law (such as intentional or gross-negligence liability, and rights granted by mandatory provisions such as consumer protection law).

14. Indemnification

You will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify us against claims by third parties or damage to us arising from your violation of these Terms (including the AUP), your violation of law, or the traffic or content you transmit through the Service.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date and, where necessary, notified by other appropriate means. Your continued use of the Service after a change is posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms; if you do not agree, please stop using the Service.

16. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

• These Terms are governed by and construed under the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
• For disputes arising out of these Terms or the Service, the parties agree that a district court in Taiwan shall be the court of first instance; this does not affect the rights afforded to consumers by mandatory provisions such as consumer protection law.

17. Miscellaneous

• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
• Entire agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Service.
• No waiver: Our failure or delay to exercise any right does not constitute a waiver.
• Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as needed for our operations.
• Force majeure: We are not liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond our reasonable control, such as natural disasters, war, strikes, or telecommunications/network outages.
