Vectosat Terms of Use

These terms apply to the Vectosat Android app (package dev.josefdez.vectosat), made by José Manuel Fernández ("I", "me"). By installing or using Vectosat, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

License to use the app

I grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Vectosat on your own devices, free of charge, for as long as I offer it. This license doesn't give you any right to the app's source code, design, or content beyond running the installed app.

Not a certified navigation or safety device

Vectosat displays raw data from your device's GPS chip. It is not a certified navigation, aviation, or safety instrument, and its accuracy depends on your device, sky visibility, weather, and other factors outside my control. Vectosat shows a detailed safety notice the first time you open the app, and you can re-read it any time from the About screen in the app's menu. These Terms don't repeat it in full, but it's part of how the app is meant to be used, and the same caution applies: don't rely on Vectosat as your only means of finding your way, especially in remote areas, at sea, at height, or in the air, and never operate your phone while driving.

Recordings

Vectosat can keep recording a track while the screen is off, but that depends on Android and on your phone's battery management, which can pause or stop it: for example, a phone left still and unplugged with the screen off, or an app restricted by the manufacturer's battery settings. Vectosat warns you when it notices the GPS has gone silent and tries to reconnect, but it can't guarantee that a recording is complete or uninterrupted, so don't rely on one where a missing or incomplete track could cause harm. You're responsible for the files you export and for what you do with them.

No warranty

Vectosat is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to its accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, I won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, Vectosat. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited under Spanish or EU law, such as liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by a proven defect in the app.

Your responsibilities

You're responsible for using Vectosat safely, for following the laws that apply to you (including rules on using phones while driving, or GPS devices on flights), and for having a device capable of running it.

Intellectual property

Vectosat's source code, design, and content are mine. All rights reserved: nothing here licenses you to copy, modify, decompile, or redistribute the app beyond installing and using it as provided through the Google Play Store or another channel I authorize. The open-source libraries it includes keep their own licenses, listed on the open-source licenses page.

Changes and termination

I may update Vectosat, these terms, or stop offering the app at any time. If I make a significant change to these terms, I'll update the date above. You can stop using Vectosat whenever you like, simply by uninstalling it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Spanish and European Union law.
