Terms

Who these terms are with

Delacour is the trading name of Chris Mitchell, an individual based in New Zealand and the UK. It is a personal studio, not a company with a support desk. Throughout, "I" and "Delacour" mean the same person. You can reach me at chris@delacour.co.nz. [TBC: registered legal entity and postal address, if any.]

By creating a Delacour account or using one of the apps below you agree to these terms. If you do not, do not use them.

What they cover

The Delacour account is the shared sign-in at auth.delacour.co.nz. Today it is used by Outpost, a Gmail and Google Calendar desktop client, and by Splitpush, a League of Legends companion available as a desktop app and at splitpush.app. Signing in is optional in Splitpush, and required in Outpost.

Nimbus, Quarry and Folio are desktop apps that run entirely on your machine. They have no account, no server of mine to sign in to, and nothing to sign up for. For them only the sections on using the apps, updates, warranty, liability and changes apply.

Splitpush has its own terms at splitpush.app/terms for matters specific to it, including its relationship with Riot Games. Where the two differ for Splitpush, those terms win.

Your account

You sign in with an emailed code or with Google. The account identifies you across the apps that use it; it is not a Google account or a Riot account. Keep your sign-in to yourself: anything done through your account is treated as done by you.

You can delete your account at any time by emailing chris@delacour.co.nz. I may suspend or close an account that is used to abuse the service, harass other people or break these terms, and need not warn you first if the abuse is actively causing harm.

Outpost asks for a separate, explicit Google authorization to read and send your mail and calendar. That is between you and Google, it can be revoked at any time from your Google Account permissions, and it is used for nothing except showing and managing your own mail and calendar. What is collected, and by whom, is on the privacy page.

Using the apps

I give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the apps on your own devices. The apps and the Delacour name, marks and interface belong to me. You keep ownership of your own data: your mail, calendar, files, buckets and databases stay yours, and the apps only act on them as you direct.

Do not use the apps or the sign-in service to break the law, to get around rate limits or access controls, to attack or probe the service or another person's account, or to resell or redistribute the apps. Do not connect an app to storage or a database you are not entitled to use.

Cost: [TBC: pricing, if any, for each app; the download pages are the source of truth until this is confirmed]. Nothing is charged through this site.

Updates and availability

The apps check a Delacour update server and update themselves. Features can change or go away, a release can introduce a bug, and the sign-in service and the servers behind Outpost and Splitpush can be slow, unavailable or discontinued. There is no service commitment.

No warranty, and limited liability

The account and the apps are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. An email client, database viewer or storage browser acts on data that matters. Keep backups, and double-check destructive actions such as deleting objects, rows or files, because I cannot undo them for you.

To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost data or lost profits arising from your use of the account or the apps, and my total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid me for the app in question. Where you are a consumer in New Zealand, nothing here limits rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Changes, and the law

These terms can change. The date at the top of this page is when they last did, and continuing to use the account or an app after a change means you accept the new version. If a change is significant, the app will say so rather than relying on you to check.

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and the New Zealand courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. [TBC: confirm governing law and venue with counsel.]
