Terms of Service
Plain-language terms governing the use of Locket software and signaling infrastructure.
1. Peer-to-Peer Software Model
Locket is client-side peer-to-peer software. We do not provide centralized message hosting, cloud backups, or user account management. You connect directly with other peers using WebRTC technology.
2. No Account Recovery or Key Escrow
Encryption keys and room memberships exist exclusively on participant devices. Because we never store your private keys or messages on a central server, we have no technical ability to recover lost room history, decrypt missed sessions, or restore purged data.
3. Platform Capabilities & Screenshot Limitations
Operating system-level screenshot blocking (via window FLAG_SECURE) is available exclusively in the native Android application. When accessing Locket through web browsers (including iOS Safari and desktop browsers), screenshot blocking cannot be enforced by web technologies. You agree to use the software with awareness of these technical boundaries.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to abuse or attempt to disrupt the signaling relay servers (e.g. denial-of-service attacks or excessive connection spamming). We reserve the right to apply rate limits to signaling endpoints to protect service availability for all users.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
Locket is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Real-time media quality depends on network topologies, firewall configurations (NAT/STUN/TURN), and individual hardware performance.
