• Infringe on intellectual property rights
• Distribute content that is illegal, harmful, or offensive
• Attempt to circumvent usage limits or security measures

4. Payment Terms

For paid plans:

5. Usage Limits

Each plan includes specific limits on apps and monthly updates. If you exceed your limits:

• We'll notify you at 80% and 100% of your limit
• We provide a grace period for occasional overages
• Consistent overages require upgrading to an appropriate plan
• We won't cut off your updates mid-rollout without warning

6. Your Content

"Your Content" means the update bundles and data you upload to Dark Matter.

• You retain ownership of Your Content
• You grant us a license to store, transmit, and deliver Your Content as needed to provide the service
• You are responsible for ensuring Your Content doesn't violate laws or third-party rights
• We don't monitor Your Content, but may remove it if we believe it violates these terms

7. Intellectual Property

Dark Matter, including its TUI, SDK, documentation, and branding, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. You may use our SDK and tools as intended to build and deploy your applications.

You may not copy, modify, or reverse-engineer our software except as permitted by applicable law or with our written permission.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data. By using Dark Matter, you agree to our privacy practices.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

Dark Matter is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties, express or implied, including:

• That the service will be uninterrupted or error-free
• That the service will meet your specific requirements
• That any errors will be corrected

We work hard to provide reliable service, but software has bugs and infrastructure has outages. We can't guarantee perfection.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
• Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim
• We are not liable for losses caused by your misuse of the service, third-party actions, or events beyond our control

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

• Your use of the service
• Your Content
• Your violation of these terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights

12. Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement at any time:

• You: Cancel your subscription through your account settings
• Us: We may suspend or terminate your account for violations of these terms, with notice when practical

Upon termination, your right to use the service ends. We may delete Your Content after a reasonable retention period (typically 30 days).

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll notify you of material changes via email or through the service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

14. General

• Governing Law: These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA
• Disputes: Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Delaware
• Entire Agreement: These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Dark Matter
• Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect
• No Waiver: Failure to enforce a provision doesn't waive our right to enforce it later
