Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of the Alertflare iPhone app, the Alertflare API at api.alertflare.app, and this website (together, "Alertflare"). Alertflare is provided by Chris Siena, an individual based in New Jersey, USA ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using Alertflare, you agree to these terms.
1. The service
Alertflare lets you send notifications from your own scripts, services and devices to your own iPhones through an API. Delivery depends on third parties we do not control, including Apple's push notification service, Expo's push service, your network, and your device's settings (such as Focus modes and notification permissions). Notifications can be delayed, arrive out of order, or not arrive at all. We do not guarantee delivery, timing, or availability.
2. Your account
- You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to agree to these terms where you live.
- Keep your password and API tokens secret. Anyone with a token can send notifications to your account. You are responsible for activity under your account and tokens; revoke a token in the app if it is exposed.
- Give us an email address you can receive mail at, so we can send password reset codes and account notices.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use Alertflare to send notifications to anyone other than yourself or people who have agreed to receive them;
- send unlawful, infringing, harassing or malicious content, or links to malware;
- overload, probe or attack the service, get around rate limits or usage limits, or access accounts or data that are not yours;
- resell or provide Alertflare as a service to others without our written permission.
We may limit, suspend or close accounts that break these rules or put the service or other users at risk.
4. Your content
You own the content you send through Alertflare. You give us permission to store, process and transmit it only as needed to run the service for you, as described in our Privacy Policy.
5. Plans and changes
Alertflare is free while in beta. We may later offer paid plans and set usage limits on free accounts. Paid subscriptions would be sold through Apple's App Store and governed by Apple's terms as well as these. We will tell you in the app before any new limit or price applies to you. We may change, add or remove features over time.
6. Ending your use
You can stop using Alertflare and delete your account at any time from the app's Settings. We may stop offering Alertflare; if we do, we will give reasonable notice where we can.
7. Disclaimers
Alertflare is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or opportunities, arising from your use of Alertflare or from a notification that was delayed or not delivered. Our total liability for any claim relating to Alertflare is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US $20. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.
10. Transfer
We may transfer Alertflare and these terms, including your account, to a company we control or form (for example, a limited liability company) or to a successor, as long as your rights under these terms and our Privacy Policy continue to apply.
11. Changes to these terms
We will post changes on this page and update the effective date. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Alertflare after that means you accept the updated terms.
