1) Scope and acceptance

These Terms govern your use of:

• The Sharoo desktop application for macOS (the “App”)
• The Sharoo Server Kit installed on your web server (the “Server Kit”)
• The Sharoo transfer pages served from your server (the “Transfer Pages”)

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App and/or the Transfer Pages, you confirm that:

• You have read and understood these Terms.
• You agree to be bound by them.

If you do not agree, do not use Sharoo.

2) Definitions

• “You” / “User” means the person or entity using the App and installing the Server Kit.
• “Recipient” means anyone who opens a Transfer Page or downloads files you shared.
• “Transfer” means the collection of files/folders uploaded via the App to your server and shared using a link/QR.
• “Hosting Provider” means the company providing your web hosting and/or server services.

3) Eligibility

You may use Sharoo only if you are legally able to enter into binding agreements in your jurisdiction.

If you use Sharoo on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

4) License and ownership

Sharoo is licensed, not sold.

Unless otherwise stated in a separate license agreement, the Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for its intended purpose.

All intellectual property rights in Sharoo (including the App and Server Kit source/binaries, trademarks, and branding) remain with the Provider and/or its licensors.

The Server Kit installs a Sharoo logo and a link to sharoo.link on the Transfer Pages served from your server. This branding is the exclusive property of KOBY Studio. By using Sharoo, you agree that you will not remove, modify, hide, alter, or otherwise tamper with the Sharoo branding on any Transfer Page. You further agree not to redistribute, repurpose, or use the Sharoo logo outside of the Transfer Pages generated by the Server Kit.

5) What Sharoo does (high-level)

Sharoo allows you to:

• Configure an SFTP connection to your own server.
• Install/update a small PHP-based Server Kit on your server.
• Upload files/folders to your server via SFTP.
• Generate a download link and/or QR code that points to download.php on your server.
• Set optional Transfer rules such as expiration, maximum number of downloads, and password protection.
• View a local history of Transfers and optionally sync certain metadata from your server.
• Delete Transfers from your server.

6) Your responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

• Your server and Hosting Provider account, including:
  • Availability, performance, and capacity.
  • Security configuration and updates.
  • Firewalling, permissions, backups, and access control.
• Ensuring your server meets the requirements to run the Server Kit (PHP, HTTPS, and where supported, .htaccess).
• Any costs charged by your Hosting Provider (bandwidth, storage, overage fees, throttling, etc.).
• The files you upload and share, including legal rights to upload/distribute them.
• Compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws in the jurisdiction where your server is hosted. This includes, where required, displaying a cookie notice or consent banner on the Transfer Pages, as the Server Kit sets functional cookies (such as the terms acceptance cookie and the password access cookie).
• How you share links/passwords with Recipients.

7) Acceptable use

You must not use Sharoo to:

• Upload or distribute illegal content.
• Infringe intellectual property or privacy rights.
• Distribute malware, harmful code, or content intended to compromise systems.
• Harass, abuse, or harm others.
• Attempt to bypass security controls of the App or Server Kit.

The Provider may update Sharoo to restrict clearly abusive or unsafe usage patterns.

8) Transfers: expiration, download limits, and password protection

Sharoo Transfers are “capability links”: anyone who has the link (or can scan the QR) can access the Transfer Pages, subject to any rules you set.

Sharoo supports:

• Expiration: a Transfer may expire after a selected period.
• Maximum downloads: after the limit is reached, the Transfer becomes unavailable.
• Password protection: you can protect Transfers with a password.

You are responsible for setting appropriate rules and choosing strong passwords.

9) Recipients and Transfer Pages

Recipients access your files through Transfer Pages hosted on your server.

Recipients may need to:

• Accept a Terms/Privacy notice displayed by the Transfer Page.
• Enter a password (if you enabled password protection).

The Provider does not host your Transfer Pages or store your files.

10) Updates

Sharoo may include updates to the App and/or Server Kit.

• The App may require a minimum Server Kit version to work correctly.
• You are responsible for applying updates to keep your installation secure and compatible.

11) Termination

You may stop using Sharoo at any time.

You can remove the Server Kit by deleting the sharoo/ directory from your server.

The Provider may suspend or terminate your license to use Sharoo if you materially breach these Terms.

12) Disclaimers

Sharoo is provided “as is” and “as available”.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

The Provider does not warrant that:

• Sharoo will be uninterrupted or error-free.
• Transfers will always be available.
• Your Hosting Provider will apply your security rules correctly.

13) Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities arising out of or related to your use of Sharoo.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider’s total liability for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid for Sharoo in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim (or, if you paid nothing, the minimum amount allowed by law).

14) Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Provider from and against claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your content and Transfers.
• Your server configuration and Hosting Provider usage.
• Your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

15) Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of France, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Paris, France, unless mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise.
