1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using Remote Codetrol (the "Software"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Software.
Remote Codetrol consists of two components: an iOS application and a server application that runs on your Mac. Both are required for the Software to function.
2. Beta Software
Remote Codetrol is currently in beta. This means:
- The Software may contain bugs, errors, or other issues
- Features may change, be added, or removed without notice
- Data loss or corruption may occur
- The Software is provided "as is" without warranties
- We may collect anonymous diagnostic data to improve stability (see our Privacy Policy)
By participating in the beta, you acknowledge and accept these risks.
3. License Grant
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:
- Install and use the iOS application on devices you own or control
- Install and run the server application on computers you own or control

4. Self-Hosted Architecture
Remote Codetrol is self-hosted software. This means:
- You are responsible for hosting, securing, and maintaining the server component
- You are responsible for all data stored on your devices
- You are responsible for network security and access controls

You acknowledge that the security and privacy of your data depends entirely on how you configure and secure your own infrastructure.

- Your use of AI services is subject to their respective Terms of Service and Privacy Policies
- We are not responsible for the availability, performance, or content generated by third-party AI services

Remote Codetrol is a mobile interface only—we do not provide, control, or guarantee the AI services themselves.
