These terms cover the Server Sidekick app (the "app") and the website at https://www.serversidekick.app (the "website"), both provided by SERVER SIDEKICK LLC ("we", "us"). By using the app or the website you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use them.
The app
The app is free to download. On iPhone, iPad and Android, an optional one-time in-app purchase, Unlimited Hosts, removes the free version's five-host limit. It is not a subscription, and it is bought, restored and refunded through the App Store or Google Play, under their terms. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use it on devices you own or control, for personal or work use, under these terms and the rules of the store you got it from. You may not resell, copy, modify, reverse engineer or redistribute the app, except where the law allows it regardless of these terms. Open-source components in the app are licensed under their own terms, listed in the app under Settings → About → View licenses.
The app is not sold to you; we keep all rights not expressly given here. Server Sidekick and its logo are trademarks of SERVER SIDEKICK LLC.
App stores
If you got the app from Apple's App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies, and where it and these terms differ, Apple's agreement governs your use of the app. If you got it from Google Play, Google Play's terms of service also apply. Apple and Google are not responsible for the app or for supporting it; we are.
Your servers, your responsibility
The app is a tool for administering computers over SSH. It runs the commands you choose on the servers you connect it to, and many of them change those servers: stopping services, killing processes, installing or removing software, editing firewall rules, deleting files, rebooting. You agree that:
- you will connect only to systems you own or are authorized to administer, and use the app lawfully;
- you are responsible for what you do with it, including commands, snippets and bulk actions run on many hosts at once;
- you are responsible for keeping your devices, credentials, keys and backups secure, and for keeping your own backups of the systems you manage.
Other services
The app connects to servers and services you set up, and the website links to other sites. Those are run by you or by others, not by us, and their own terms and policies apply. We are not responsible for them.
The AI assistant
The app's optional assistant sends your questions, and any server details and output you attach, to an AI service that you choose and set up. Its answers come from that service, not from us, and can be wrong, incomplete or unsafe for your systems. A command it proposes runs only if you approve it, so check each one as you would any command you type yourself. You are responsible for what you approve. The AI service's own terms and privacy policy apply to what you send it.
Privacy
How the app and website handle data is described in the privacy policy.
No warranty
The app and the website are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the extent the law allows. We don't promise that the app will be error-free, uninterrupted, or compatible with every server or configuration.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, SERVER SIDEKICK LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, service, profits or revenue, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app or the website, even if we were told such damage was possible. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app or the website is limited to the amount you paid us for the app in the 12 months before the claim arose, which is nothing if you haven't bought anything. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.
Ending these terms
You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it. If you break these terms, your license to use the app ends.
Changes
We may update these terms. We will post the new version on this page and change the date at the top. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the new terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This does not take away any rights you have under the consumer laws of the country where you live.
