License Overview
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Ovio ("we", "us", "our"), located at Jacob van Lennepstraat 78 H, 1053 HM, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
By downloading, installing, or using Ovio through Apple's App Store or Google Play Store, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
Apple and Google are distribution platforms only. They are not parties to these Terms and are not responsible for the app itself, including maintenance, support, warranty, or claims.
1. The Application
Ovio is a local remote for your devices. It helps you control your home setup (for example: lights, covers, climate, and similar connected devices) from your iOS or Android device.
Ovio is designed around local control and does not require an Ovio account to use core functionality.
2. Scope of License
2.1 We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Ovio on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and applicable App Store or Play Store rules.
2.2 This license also applies to updates, unless an update is accompanied by separate terms.
2.3 You may not sell, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or redistribute the app, except where platform rules expressly allow it.
2.4 You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works of Ovio except where mandatory law allows it.
2.5 You may not remove copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
3. Technical Requirements
3.1 Ovio requires a compatible iOS or Android device and a home setup that supports the local connections you configure.
3.2 You are responsible for your device, network, and configuration choices, including keeping your operating system and connected software reasonably up to date.
3.3 We may change technical requirements over time to maintain security, reliability, or compatibility.
4. Maintenance and Support
4.1 We may provide updates, fixes, and improvements at our discretion.
4.2 Apple and Google have no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Ovio.
4.3 For support questions, contact us at hi@ovio.studio.
5. Use of Data
Ovio does not require user accounts, and we do not collect or store personal data through core app usage. Our privacy commitments are described in our Privacy Policy.
If this ever changes, we will update the Privacy Policy and, where required by law, request consent before processing personal data.
6. User Generated Contributions
Ovio does not provide public posting features or user-generated public profiles.
7. Contribution License
If you voluntarily send feedback, bug reports, or suggestions, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use that feedback to improve Ovio without further compensation to you.
8. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ovio is provided "as is" and "as available." We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of use, or business interruption.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for intent, gross negligence, or personal injury where required.
9. Warranty
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
If mandatory consumer protection law gives you specific rights, those rights remain unaffected.
10. Product Claims
We, not Apple or Google, are responsible for addressing claims relating to Ovio, including product liability claims, legal compliance claims, and consumer-law claims.
11. Legal Compliance
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to trade embargoes that would prohibit use of Ovio, and that you are not on any applicable restricted-party list.
12. Contact Information
For questions, complaints, or legal notices regarding Ovio, contact:
Ovio, Jacob van Lennepstraat 78 H, 1053 HM, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Email: hi@ovio.studio
13. Termination
These Terms remain in effect until terminated. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially violate these Terms. You may stop using Ovio at any time by uninstalling it.
14. Third-Party Terms
Your use of Ovio may be subject to third-party terms, including those of Apple, Google, your device manufacturer, and your connected-home software providers. Apple and Google are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce applicable sections against you.
15. Intellectual Property Rights
Ovio and all related content, trademarks, branding, and software are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.
16. Applicable Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, excluding conflict-of-law rules.
17. Miscellaneous
17.1 If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
17.2 Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision.
17.3 We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of Ovio after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
