This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legally binding contract between you ("you", "the user") and Cliff RUBIO, sole proprietor (entrepreneur individuel) trading as "Cliff Dev" ("the Developer", "we", "us") governing your use of the Antivol application for macOS, iOS, and watchOS, including all related updates, documentation, and services (together, "the App").
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
1. What the App does — and what it does not do
Antivol is an alarm and alerting tool. When armed on a compatible Mac, it may show an optional lock screen overlay, attempt to detect certain supported events using the Mac's available hardware sensors and system interfaces (power unplugged, lid closed, motion, failed unlock attempts), sound an audible alarm, capture a photo with the built-in camera, and send an alert to your iPhone through Apple's iCloud and push notification services. A companion Apple Watch app may mirror alerts and status from the paired iPhone; it depends entirely on the iPhone connection and is subject to the same limitations. No specific sensor behavior or detection accuracy is promised.
THE APP IS A DETERRENT. IT IS NOT A SECURITY GUARANTEE.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that:
- The App cannot prevent theft. It cannot physically stop anyone from taking, damaging, opening, or tampering with your devices.
- The App may fail to detect an event. Detection depends on hardware sensors, macOS APIs, system state, and configuration, all of which can fail, be disabled, or behave unpredictably.
- The alarm may not sound, or may not be loud enough, in every circumstance (muted or failed speakers, audio-system state, hardware faults, forced shutdown, battery removal or depletion).
- Alerts and notifications may be delayed or never delivered. Delivery depends entirely on third-party infrastructure outside the Developer's control, including your internet connection, Apple iCloud, CloudKit, and the Apple Push Notification service, as well as your device settings (Focus modes, notification permissions, Low Power Mode, force-quit apps).
- Photos may not be captured or may be unusable (camera permission denied, lid closed, darkness, camera failure), and captured photos may not identify any person.
- The App can be defeated. A thief may shut down the Mac, disconnect it from the internet, silence it, force-quit the App, or otherwise circumvent the App before any alert is sent.
- The optional lock screen is an in-app overlay, not the macOS system lock screen. It can be bypassed and does not replace your Mac login password or FileVault.
- If you set an unlock passcode for the lock screen, you are responsible for remembering it. The Developer cannot recover or reset it.
- The App only works while properly configured and running: it must be armed, signed in to iCloud on both devices with the same Apple ID, granted the required permissions, and powered on.
Do not rely on the App as your only protection. You remain solely responsible for the physical custody of your devices, for appropriate insurance coverage, and for common-sense precautions.
The App is not an emergency or personal-safety service. It is not designed to protect persons or premises, to detect intrusion into a room, home, or office, or to contact emergency services, and it must not be relied upon for any such purpose.
2. License grant
The Developer grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, in accordance with this Agreement and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (including the Usage Rules).
You may not, except as permitted by applicable law:
- copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App;
- rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, redistribute, or transfer the App;
- remove or alter any proprietary notices; or
- use the App for any unlawful purpose.
3. Your responsibilities and lawful use
You are solely responsible for:
- configuring and testing the App (including the built-in test alarm) and verifying that alerts actually reach your iPhone before relying on it;
- maintaining the conditions the App needs to function (power, internet, iCloud sign-in, permissions, notification settings, armed state);
- complying with all applicable laws, including laws on audio/video recording, photography of persons, surveillance, and privacy in your jurisdiction. The App captures photos of whoever triggers the alarm; in some jurisdictions, capturing images of persons — even on your own device — may be restricted. You are the data controller of any photos captured, and any use of the App to record others is at your own risk and responsibility;
- the consequences of any action you take in response to an alert. Do not confront a suspected thief; contact law enforcement.
4. Photos, alerts, and your data
Alerts and photos are stored locally on your devices and in your private iCloud (CloudKit) database, under your Apple ID. The Developer operates no server, receives no copy of your alerts or photos, and has no access to them. Storage, sync, and availability of this data are governed by your agreement with Apple. Deleting the App or signing out of iCloud may result in loss of locally cached data. The Developer keeps no backup and cannot recover, restore, or reproduce alerts or photos that you delete or that become inaccessible (for example, if you lose access to your Apple ID or iCloud account).
5. Third-party services
The App depends on services operated by Apple Inc. (iCloud, CloudKit, the Apple Push Notification service) and on your network providers. The Developer does not control these services, does not warrant their availability, accuracy, or timeliness, and is not responsible for any failure, delay, suspension, or discontinuation of them, or for changes to Apple's operating systems that affect the App.
6. No warranty
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. The Developer disclaims all warranties and conditions, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. The Developer does not warrant that the App will operate uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that any event will be detected, that any alarm will sound, that any photo will be captured, or that any notification will be delivered on time or at all.
No oral or written information or advice given by the Developer shall create a warranty. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
7. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:
- theft, loss, damage, or destruction of any device, property, or data — including the Mac or iPhone the App runs on — whether or not the App detected the event, sounded an alarm, captured a photo, or delivered a notification;
- personal injury or harm arising from any confrontation or response to an alert;
- any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or cost of substitute goods or services;
- any failure, delay, or non-delivery of alerts or notifications; or
- any damages arising from your failure to configure, arm, test, or maintain the App as described in Section 3;
in each case however caused and under any theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if the Developer has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In no event shall the Developer's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to this Agreement or the App exceed the amount you actually paid for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or fifty euros (EUR 50), whichever is greater.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud. Statutory consumer rights that cannot be waived remain unaffected.
8. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold the Developer harmless from any claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App in violation of this Agreement or of applicable law, including claims by third parties relating to photos or recordings captured through your use of the App.
9. Updates and availability
The Developer will make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the App, but does not guarantee uninterrupted operation or compatibility with future versions of macOS, iOS, or Apple's services. Future updates to Apple's operating systems or services may reduce, alter, or disable features of the App until a compatible update is released, if such an update is technically and reasonably feasible.
The Developer may provide updates, may modify or discontinue features, and may discontinue the App entirely, at any time and without notice. This Agreement applies to any updates unless they are accompanied by a separate license.
10. Termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms. Upon termination, you must stop using and delete the App. Sections 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 survive termination.
11. Apple-specific terms
This Agreement is between you and the Developer only — not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). You acknowledge and agree that:
- Apple is not responsible for the App or its content, and has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the App.
- In the event of any failure of the App to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection or similar legislation.
- In the event of a third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, is responsible for the defense of such claim to the extent required by this Agreement.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and may enforce it against you.
You must also comply with any applicable third-party terms (for example, your wireless data agreement) when using the App.
12. Governing law and disputes
This Agreement is governed by the laws of France, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the competent French courts, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rules that grant you the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence.
13. General
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. The Developer's failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Developer regarding the App and supersedes all prior agreements on that subject. The Developer may issue a revised Agreement with new versions or updates of the App; revised terms apply only to the versions they accompany, from the time you install that version or otherwise expressly accept them. If you do not agree with revised terms, do not install the update and stop using the App.
This Agreement is provided in English and in French. If you are a consumer residing in France, the French version below prevails; in all other cases, the English version prevails.
