Terms & Acceptable Use
This is a non-commercial hobby project, provided as-is and without any warranty of availability, accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose. By using it, you accept the practical rules below. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
1. Nature of the service
The service is a free, peer-to-peer (WebRTC) video calling tool run as a personal hobby project. It is not a commercial product, carries no service level guarantee, and may be modified, limited or shut down at any time without notice.
2. Eligibility
You must be old enough to consent to the processing described in the Privacy Policy under the law that applies to you, and capable of entering into a binding agreement. If you are using the service on behalf of others in a call, make sure they also agree to these terms.
3. Acceptable use
- Use the service only to communicate with people who have agreed to the call.
- Only connect to, test or interact with Peer IDs, systems, devices, domains, IP addresses, files or data that you own or are explicitly authorized to use.
- No illegal use, abuse, harassment, hate, threats, stalking, spam, malware, phishing, credential abuse, excessive automation, scraping, denial-of-service attempts, unauthorized scanning, or circumvention of access controls or rate limits.
- Do not record, retransmit or publish another participant's audio, video or likeness without their consent.
- Do not transmit content that is illegal, infringing, sexually exploitative of minors, or otherwise harmful.
- Do not attempt to overload, disrupt, probe, reverse-engineer or abuse the underlying infrastructure or the third-party providers it depends on (signaling, STUN/TURN, CDN, fonts).
4. Consent of participants
Calls involve participants sharing live audio and video. In a group call (more than two participants), your media is shared with each other participant directly. Each participant is responsible for behaving lawfully and respectfully and for informing others present (for example, anyone in camera range) before joining a call. In many jurisdictions (including Germany) recording a call without the other person's knowledge and consent is illegal — do not do it.
Screen sharing is an explicit, optional action. Before sharing your screen, close anything sensitive and make sure you have the right to share what is visible. Do not screen-share content that would violate these terms.
5. No warranty
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Calls may fail, drop, lag or be of poor quality, and the service may be unavailable or change at any time. Connection state, quality indicators and any other output can be incomplete, outdated or wrong. Use it at your own risk.
6. Privacy & what is transmitted
7. Third-party services
The service relies on third-party infrastructure (such as a signaling server and STUN/TURN servers). Those services have their own terms and privacy practices, are outside the operator's control, and may change or become unavailable. The operator is not responsible for third-party services.
8. Availability & changes
There is no guaranteed uptime. Features may be added, changed or removed, and the service may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The operator may also restrict or block access in response to abuse or to protect the service.
9. Intellectual property
The project's own source code is licensed under the MIT License (see the LICENSE file in the repository). Third-party libraries (notably PeerJS) remain under their respective licenses. The content you exchange in a call remains yours; you are responsible for having the rights to share it.
10. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for any damages arising from use of, or inability to use, this hobby project, including indirect, incidental or consequential damages. Liability is not excluded for damages caused by intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, or where mandatory statutory liability (for example under the German Product Liability Act) applies.
11. Your responsibility
You are responsible for your own conduct, for the content you transmit, and for complying with all laws that apply to you. If your misuse of the service causes claims against the operator, you are responsible for those claims to the extent the law allows.
12. Reporting abuse
If you encounter abuse, illegal content or a security issue, please report it to the operator using the contact details in the Privacy Policy.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the operator's jurisdiction (Germany / EU), excluding its conflict-of-law rules, and without depriving consumers of the mandatory protections of their country of residence.
14. Changes to these terms
As a hobby project, these terms may be updated when the tools, providers or legal requirements change. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
