By installing or using watch witch, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't install the app — uninstalling removes it cleanly and these terms stop applying to anything you do after that.

watch witch turns your phone into a private DLNA media server on your local network. You pick a video file already on your device; the app exposes that single file, read-only, to DLNA clients (e.g. VLC) on the same Wi-Fi. The phone is the server. The TV is the client. No third party sees the bytes.

watch witch is distributed under the license listed in the GitHub repository's LICENSE file. That license — not these terms — controls how you may copy, modify, and redistribute the source code or a compiled APK. These terms cover only your use of the app as a piece of software running on your device.

You're responsible for what you stream. Specifically, do not use the app to:

• Share copyrighted content you don't have the right to distribute, even on your own LAN.
• Bypass digital-rights management on files you do not own.
• Make the share endpoint reachable on the public internet (e.g. by manually port-forwarding it). The app is designed for LAN use; exposing it externally breaks the security model and is your responsibility, not ours.
• Do anything illegal in your jurisdiction.

We can't enforce any of this from our side — the app doesn't talk to us. The obligation rests on you.

watch witch never uploads, processes, or stores the videos you share. It serves bytes from your phone over your LAN to a client you've picked. We can't moderate them, and we have no record of them. You retain full ownership and full responsibility for the files you choose to share.

watch witch is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the app is uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or compatible with every TV, codec, or router. We test against common configurations; your network may differ.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the authors and contributors of watch witch are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the app — including data loss, network downtime, or compatibility issues. Where law doesn't allow this kind of waiver, our total aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid for the app, which is zero.

watch witch builds on the work of others. Notable upstream projects (DLNA libraries, VLC, Android system libraries, etc.) are listed with their licenses in the repository's third-party notices. Use of those components is governed by their respective licenses in addition to these terms.

Open beta means things shift. We may change features, defaults, or these terms. Material changes get a version bump and a note on the GitHub release. Continuing to use a new version after such a change means you accept the new terms. If you don't, the older APK is still yours to keep using — releases are not revoked from your device.

You can stop using watch witch at any time by uninstalling it. We can also stop distributing the app — for example, if continuing to do so isn't safe or legal — but doing so doesn't disable copies already installed on your device.

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the watch witch project is maintained, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If any clause is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Nothing here limits rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law in your country.
