Terms of Service

These terms are between you and [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("we", "us"). By creating a workspace or uploading a build you accept them. If you're agreeing on behalf of a company, you're confirming you have authority to bind it.

Accounts are created by signing in with GitHub or Google. You're responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping access to that provider secure. Don't share credentials or upload tokens outside your team.

Testers who open an install link do not need an account, and we don't create one for them.

Buildchute exists to distribute pre-release builds to people you've chosen. Don't:

• Distribute an app you don't have the right to distribute, or one containing malware, spyware, or code designed to harm a device or its owner.
• Use Buildchute as a public app store, a general file host, or a CDN for content unrelated to testing your own builds.
• Distribute enterprise-signed applications to anyone outside the organisation the certificate was issued to.
• Attempt to circumvent plan limits, access controls, or another workspace's links.

That third point is not boilerplate. Distributing enterprise-signed builds to the public violates Apple's developer agreement and has ended platforms in this category. We enforce it, and we'll suspend a workspace for it without notice.

You keep all rights to everything you upload. We claim no ownership and no licence beyond what's needed to run the service: storing your build, reading its metadata, generating an icon, and delivering it to people you've granted access.

We don't inspect your source, run your app, or use your builds to train anything. We may access a build only when you ask us to for support, or where we're legally required to.

Paid plans bill in advance, monthly or annually, through our payment provider. Prices are in US dollars; your provider may convert and add tax. Plan limits — apps, builds per month, retention window, maximum build size, seats — are listed on the pricing page and enforced in the product.

You can cancel at any time and keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. We don't pro-rate refunds for partial periods, but if something went genuinely wrong on our side, email us and we'll sort it out.

If a payment fails we'll retry and email you. Repeated failure downgrades the workspace to Free, which shortens retention and may delete builds beyond the free window.

This is a feature, not a defect. Builds are permanently deleted when their retention window ends, and downgrading a plan shortens that window. Buildchute is a distribution tool, not an archive — keep your own copies of anything you need long-term.

We aim for high availability but don't offer a contractual uptime guarantee on Free, Solo, or Team. We may take the service down for maintenance, and we'll give notice when it's planned.

We are not Apple or Google, and we don't control their platforms. If Apple revokes a certificate, changes install behaviour, or a device refuses a build, that's outside our control and outside this agreement.

You may delete your workspace at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, and we'll tell you why unless doing so would be unlawful or would help ongoing abuse.

On termination, builds are deleted. Where the law allows, we'll give you [14] days' notice to export anything you need first.

The service is provided "as is". We don't warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, that a build will install on any particular device, or that our reading of a provisioning profile is complete. Device and certificate checks are a convenience, not a guarantee — the platform decides whether an install succeeds.

To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, lost profits, or lost data. Our total liability in any 12-month period is capped at the greater of the amount you paid us in that period or [USD 100].

Nothing here excludes liability that can't lawfully be excluded.

We'll email workspace owners at least [14] days before a material change takes effect. Continuing to use Buildchute after that means you accept the new terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING JURISDICTION], and disputes go to the courts of [VENUE]. Questions: [legal@buildchute.com].
