Effective date: July 27, 2026
These Terms govern your use of the LocalCloud applications for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows (the "App") and the localcloud.work website. By installing or using the App you agree to these Terms.
LocalCloud is peer-to-peer synchronization software. It transfers photos and files directly between devices that you pair. LocalCloud provides software only — it does not provide storage, hosting, or backup services, and it operates no servers holding your content.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for personal or internal business use, subject to these Terms and to the rules of the store you obtained it from (Apple App Store, Google Play, or Microsoft Store, whose terms also apply).
Your photos and files remain entirely yours. Because they are stored only on your devices, you are responsible for maintaining enough paired devices and independent backups to protect against loss. Losing, wiping, or breaking every device that holds an item means the item is gone; LocalCloud cannot recover it, because we never had it.
You agree not to use the App to store or distribute content that is unlawful in your jurisdiction, to infringe others' intellectual-property rights, to interfere with or abuse the relay infrastructure, or to reverse-engineer the App except where the law permits it regardless of this clause.
When you share a folder with another person's device, you are distributing that content yourself, directly from your device to theirs. You are responsible for what you share and for having the right to share it.
LocalCloud is under active development. Features may change, be added, or be removed. We may release updates that are required for devices to keep syncing with each other. Core device-to-device sync is currently free; if we introduce optional paid features, we will say so clearly before you are charged anything.
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL — ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR TEN US DOLLARS IF YOU PAID NOTHING. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, these limits apply to the fullest extent permitted.
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may terminate this license if you materially breach these Terms. Sections 3, 7, 8 and 10 survive termination.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence remains unaffected.
We may update these Terms; the effective date above will change and material changes will be noted in the App's release notes. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
