Terms of Use

These terms are between you and David Faux ("we", "us") and cover your use of Zap on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. By installing or using Zap you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use Zap.

Zap is a player only. It contains, provides, sells and recommends no content, channels, playlists or streams.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use Zap on Apple devices you own or control, under the Usage Rules of the App Store. Family Sharing is allowed where Apple enables it. Zap is licensed, not sold. We keep all rights we do not grant here.

• You may add only sources you have the legal right to access.
• You are responsible for every source you add, for the content you play with Zap, and for complying with copyright and the law that applies to you.
• We do not host, index, link to or endorse any third-party content, and we do not verify playlists.
• Do not use Zap to access, copy or share content you have no right to, or to break the terms of the operator of a server you connect to.

Send notices to legal@davidfaux.com. Please give your name and contact details, the work you say is infringed, what you believe infringes it and where, and a statement that you are the rights holder or act for them. Because we host nothing, the right party to remove content is the operator of the stream. We respond to every notice, and we may act against misuse of Zap.

Zap Premium is optional and is sold through the App Store.

• Plans: a monthly subscription at US$2.99, a yearly subscription at US$14.99, and a lifetime purchase at US$39.99, paid once. The two subscriptions are in the "Zap Premium" group. Prices vary by region.
• The yearly plan has a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers only.
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
• A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price shown to you.
• You manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
• Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
• The lifetime purchase does not cancel an existing subscription. Cancel the subscription yourself.
• Deleting Zap does not cancel a subscription.
• Apple handles refunds. We cannot refund purchases made through Apple.

Parts of Zap are covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). These are FFmpeg, libzvbi and AetherEngine. Those licences apply to those libraries and these terms do not replace them. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under them. This covers the right to modify those libraries, and to reverse engineer Zap to the extent needed to debug such modifications.

Zap lists each library, its licence and its source in the app, under Settings > Legal. The same list is at https://davidfaux.com/zap-tv/open-source.

Except as the LGPL and applicable law allow, do not copy, sell, rent, lease or sublicense Zap, do not remove its notices, and do not use it to harm anyone or to disrupt a network or service.

Our privacy policy explains what Zap stores and where it goes.

We may update Zap, change its features or stop supporting a version. If an update changes these terms, we will show the new terms in Zap or on the App Store page.

Zap is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, work without errors, or work with every source or stream, and we exclude all warranties not stated here. Your legal rights as a consumer are not affected.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost data or lost profit, or for anything that happens through a source you add. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

These terms end when you delete Zap or when you break them. Sections that by their nature should survive, such as sections 3, 6, 10 and 11, survive.

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Zap or its content. You also agree that:

• Apple has no duty to provide maintenance or support for Zap.
• If Zap fails to meet a warranty, you may tell Apple. Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, and to the extent the law allows has no other warranty duty for Zap.
• We, not Apple, answer claims about Zap, including product liability claims, claims about legal compliance or consumer protection, and claims under privacy and data-protection law.
• If a third party claims that Zap infringes its intellectual property, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and defending the claim.
• You are not in a country under a US government embargo, or on a US government list of restricted parties.
• You will follow any third-party terms that apply when you use Zap.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms. Once you accept them, Apple may enforce them against you.
