1. Acceptance and Scope

These Terms of Use and Legal Notices ("Terms") form an agreement between you and LiberaNt LLC ("LiberaNt," "we," "us") governing your access to NTsocial mobile applications, related companion features, documentation, and the official website (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Community Standards. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Additional terms from Apple, Google, a device manufacturer, radio provider, open-source license, or selected third-party service may apply. Mandatory platform or consumer terms control to the extent they cannot lawfully be excluded.

2. What NTsocial Is—and Is Not

NTsocial is a nearby, decentralized communication tool. Core messages are exchanged through participating devices and may be relayed over Bluetooth or selected gateways and high-speed bearers. Availability depends on compatible devices, permissions, radio conditions, operating-system scheduling, peer participation, batteries, and optional entitlements or accessories.

Not an emergency service: NTsocial does not connect you to emergency dispatch, does not guarantee delivery, receipt, identity, range, availability, background operation, or data recovery, and must not be your only means of requesting emergency, medical, public-safety, or life-critical assistance. Contact local emergency services through an appropriate channel when needed.

3. Eligibility and Children

You must be legally capable of accepting these Terms. The Services are not directed to children under 13. If local law requires parental or guardian authorization for a minor to use the Services or consent to data handling, that authorization is required. Do not use the Services if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.

4. Responsible Use and Community Safety

You are responsible for your conduct, the content you create or transmit, the channels and secrets you share, and compliance with applicable law. You must not use the Services to threaten, harass, exploit, defraud, impersonate, distribute malware or spam, disclose another person's private information without authority, infringe rights, facilitate unlawful activity, or interfere with devices, networks, or the Services.

Detailed prohibited conduct, reporting instructions, and safety controls appear in the Community Standards. You may use available report, hide, and block controls. Because communication is decentralized, LiberaNt may not possess the underlying content and cannot guarantee remote deletion or network-wide exclusion after content reaches other devices. We may take technically and legally available action regarding reports, support access, releases, or company-controlled services.

5. User Content and Other Participants

You retain whatever rights you lawfully hold in content you create. You direct the App to copy, transmit, relay, store, display, transform for transport, or export that content as needed to perform the feature you choose. You represent that you have the necessary rights and permissions to do so.

Public and channel content is intended for participating recipients. Nearby devices may relay content, and recipients may save, copy, screenshot, export, or forward it. LiberaNt does not endorse user content, verify every identity, continuously monitor decentralized traffic, or control the conduct of nearby users. Use judgment before sharing confidential, regulated, location, or safety-sensitive information.

6. Encryption and Security Limitations

Private text without matching manually configured secrets uses Basic1 AES-GCM protection based on an application-embedded master key. Basic1 reduces ordinary plaintext exposure on the wire and in history, but it is not end-to-end encryption, sender authentication, or forward secrecy. A person who obtains the embedded key may be able to decrypt or forge Basic1 content.

When both participants configure the same secret, private conversations use a higher-assurance manual shared-secret AES-GCM mode. NTsocial does not currently perform automatic public-key exchange for that mode; users must securely exchange and verify the secret separately. Current iOS private media requires the manual key. Encryption cannot protect content after a recipient reads or rediscloses it, and we do not warrant that any security control is invulnerable.

7. Optional Features and Third-Party Services

Optional integrations—including MeshLink, Meshtastic or LoRa radios, Wi-Fi Aware, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspots, LAN peers, map files, and Android UTFind—may require separate software, hardware, credentials, permissions, consent, connectivity, or provider terms. When you enable one, information necessary for that feature is disclosed to the selected device, peer, companion, or provider.

LiberaNt does not control third-party networks or services and is not responsible for their availability, security, content, retention, or independent acts. Your use of them is governed by their terms and privacy notices in addition to these Terms.

8. Local Data, Backups, and Deletion

The App may persist identities, messages, media, keys, settings, locations, diagnostics, and delivery state locally. Closing the App does not necessarily delete them. Deletion controls act on App-owned data on the device where you invoke them; operating-system backups, exported copies, reports already sent, and copies stored by peers or third parties may remain. You are responsible for backups and for safeguarding your device, credentials, and shared secrets.

9. Intellectual Property and License

The Services, brand, design, and LiberaNt-provided content are owned by or licensed to LiberaNt and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms and applicable store terms, LiberaNt grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the released App for its intended purpose.

Third-party and open-source components remain governed by their respective licenses and notices. Except where those licenses or mandatory law permit it, you may not copy, sell, sublicense, distribute, defeat access controls, or exploit LiberaNt materials without written permission. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your lawful user content to LiberaNt.

10. Changes, Suspension, and Discontinuation

We may add, change, limit, suspend, or discontinue features, compatibility, documentation, or company-controlled services. Updates may be needed for security or interoperability. Decentralized copies already installed may continue operating beyond our control, and we cannot promise support for every prior version, platform, radio, or protocol combination.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available". LiberaNt and its licensors disclaim express, implied, and statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, delivery, interoperability, and security. We do not warrant that messages will be delivered, that peers are who they claim to be, that content is lawful or safe, or that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Some jurisdictions do not allow particular warranty exclusions. Nothing in these Terms excludes non-waivable rights or remedies.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LiberaNt, its affiliates, officers, employees, developers, contributors, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, communications, opportunity, or service, arising from the Services or these Terms—even if advised that such loss is possible.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including where applicable liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or mandatory consumer rights.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, U.S.A., without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to mandatory consumer law and any non-waivable right to bring a claim elsewhere, disputes shall be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in Wyoming. Before filing a claim, you and LiberaNt are encouraged to attempt informal resolution by email.

14. General Terms

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, reorganization, or sale of the relevant business, subject to applicable law. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, Community Standards, applicable platform terms, and incorporated licenses form the agreement regarding the Services.

15. Changes and Contact

We may update these Terms as the Services or law change. We will update the date above and provide additional notice where required. Continued use after an effective update constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by law.

一、接受條款與適用範圍

本使用條款與法律聲明（下稱「本條款」）是您與 LiberaNt LLC（下稱「LiberaNt」或「我們」）間的協議，適用於 NTsocial 行動 App、相關 companion 功能、說明文件及官方網站（合稱「本服務」）。使用本服務即表示您同意本條款、隱私權政策及社群規範；若不同意，請勿使用。

Apple、Google、裝置製造商、radio 提供者、開放原始碼授權或您選擇的第三方服務可能另有條款。依法不能排除的平台或消費者強制規定，在必要範圍內優先適用。

二、NTsocial 是什麼，以及不是什麼

NTsocial 是附近裝置間的去中心化通訊工具。核心訊息透過參與裝置交換，並可能經 Bluetooth、選用 gateway 或高速 bearer 中繼。可用性取決於相容裝置、權限、無線電環境、OS 排程、peer 參與、電量，以及選用 entitlement 或配件。

不是緊急服務：NTsocial 不會將您連接至緊急派遣單位，不保證送達、收件、身分、範圍、可用性、背景運作或資料復原，亦不得作為尋求緊急、醫療、公共安全或攸關生命協助的唯一方式。必要時請透過適當管道聯絡當地緊急服務。

三、使用資格與兒童

您必須具備接受本條款的法律能力。本服務並非以 13 歲以下兒童為對象。若當地法律要求未成年人使用本服務或同意資料處理時須取得父母或監護人授權，即必須先取得該授權。若適用法律禁止您使用，請勿使用本服務。

四、負責任使用與社群安全

您應對自己的行為、建立或傳送的內容、分享的頻道與密鑰，以及遵守適用法律負責。您不得利用本服務進行威脅、騷擾、剝削、詐騙、冒充、散播 malware／spam、未經授權揭露他人私密資訊、侵害權利、協助違法活動，或干擾裝置、網路與本服務。

詳細禁止行為、檢舉方式及安全控制請見社群規範。您可使用現有檢舉、隱藏及封鎖功能。由於通訊去中心化，LiberaNt 可能未持有原始內容，且內容抵達其他裝置後，無法保證遠端刪除或全網排除特定使用者。我們得針對檢舉、客服存取、版本或公司控制的服務採取技術及法律上可行的措施。

五、使用者內容與其他參與者

您保留對自己合法建立內容所享有的權利。您指示 App 為完成所選功能而對內容進行必要的複製、傳輸、中繼、保存、顯示、傳輸格式轉換或匯出，並聲明已取得必要權利與許可。

公開及頻道內容是供參與收件人閱讀。附近裝置可能中繼內容，收件人亦可能保存、複製、截圖、匯出或轉傳。LiberaNt 不為使用者內容背書、不驗證每個身分、不持續監看去中心化流量，也不控制附近使用者的行為。分享機密、受管制、定位或安全敏感資訊前，請自行審慎判斷。

六、加密與安全限制

未設定相同手動密鑰的私人文字，使用以 App 內嵌 master key 為基礎的 Basic1 AES-GCM 保護。Basic1 可降低一般情況下 wire 與 history 的明文暴露，但它不是端對端加密、不提供寄件者驗證或前向保密。取得內嵌金鑰的人可能解密或偽造 Basic1 內容。

雙方設定相同密鑰後，私人對話使用較高保障的手動共享密鑰 AES-GCM 模式。NTsocial 目前不會為此模式自動交換公鑰；使用者必須自行透過其他安全管道交換及驗證密鑰。目前 iOS 私人媒體需要手動密鑰。收件人讀取或再次揭露內容後，加密無法繼續保護，且我們不保證任何安全控制無法被突破。

七、選用功能與第三方服務

MeshLink、Meshtastic／LoRa radio、Wi-Fi Aware、Wi-Fi Direct、hotspot、LAN peer、地圖檔及 Android UTFind 等選用整合，可能需要額外軟硬體、credential、權限、同意、網路或提供者條款。啟用時，完成該功能所需資訊會提供給您選擇的裝置、peer、companion 或提供者。

LiberaNt 不控制第三方網路或服務，亦不對其可用性、安全、內容、保存或獨立行為負責。使用該等服務時，除本條款外亦受其條款與隱私聲明拘束。

八、本機資料、備份與刪除

App 可能在本機持續保存身分、訊息、媒體、金鑰、設定、位置、診斷與傳遞狀態。關閉 App 不代表資料會刪除。刪除控制只處理您執行操作之裝置上的 App 自有資料；OS 備份、已匯出副本、已寄送報告及 peer／第三方保存的副本可能繼續存在。您應自行負責備份並保護裝置、credential 與共享密鑰。

九、智慧財產與授權

本服務、品牌、設計及 LiberaNt 提供的內容由 LiberaNt 或其授權人擁有，並受智慧財產權法律保護。在遵守本條款及適用商店條款的前提下，LiberaNt 授予您有限、個人、可撤銷、非專屬且不可移轉的授權，僅得為預定目的安裝及使用正式發布的 App。

第三方及開放原始碼元件仍依各自授權與 notice 規範。除相關授權或強制法律允許外，未經書面許可，不得複製、出售、再授權、散布、規避存取控制或利用 LiberaNt 素材。本條款不會將您合法使用者內容的所有權移轉給 LiberaNt。

十、變更、暫停與停止

我們可能新增、變更、限制、暫停或停止功能、相容性、文件或公司控制的服務，亦可能因安全或互通性要求更新。已安裝的去中心化副本可能在我們無法控制的情況下繼續運作；我們不保證支援每個舊版本、平台、radio 或 protocol 組合。

十一、不提供保證

在法律允許的最大範圍內，本服務按「現況」及「現有」提供。LiberaNt 及授權人排除明示、默示與法定保證，包括適銷性、特定用途適用性、權利、不侵權、準確性、可用性、送達、互通性及安全。我們不保證訊息送達、peer 身分真實、內容合法安全，或本服務不中斷且無錯誤。

部分司法管轄區不允許特定保證排除；本條款不排除不得拋棄的權利或救濟。

十二、責任限制

在法律允許的最大範圍內，LiberaNt、關係企業、主管、員工、開發者、貢獻者及授權人，不對因本服務或本條款所生之間接、附帶、特殊、衍生、示範性或懲罰性損害，或利潤、收入、商譽、資料、通訊、機會或服務損失負責，即使已被告知可能發生。

本條款不限制依法不得限制的責任，包括適用時因詐欺、故意不法、重大過失、過失造成死亡或人身傷害，或消費者強制權利所生的責任。

十三、準據法與爭議

本條款以美國懷俄明州法律為準據法，不適用法律衝突規則。在消費者強制法律及不得拋棄之異地起訴權利的前提下，爭議應由對懷俄明州有管轄權的州或聯邦法院審理。提出訴訟前，鼓勵您與 LiberaNt 先透過 email 嘗試非正式解決。

十四、一般條款

若部分條款無法執行，應縮限至最低必要程度，其餘條款仍有效。未執行某條款不構成放棄。未經我們同意，您不得移轉本條款；我們得依法在合併、重組或相關業務出售時移轉。本條款、隱私權政策、社群規範、適用平台條款及納入的授權共同構成本服務的協議。

十五、條款變更與聯絡

我們可能隨本服務或法律變更更新本條款，屆時會更新上方日期，並在法律要求時另行通知。在法律允許範圍內，更新生效後繼續使用即表示接受。
