This agreement comes with the current version of LarpLocation and applies to it. Section 3.4 of the Terms of Service explains how it relates to them.
Please read this agreement before you install or use LarpLocation. It is a legal agreement between you and LarpMaxx, the operator of larpmaxx.com (written "Larpmaxx" in the LarpMaxx Terms of Service; "LarpMaxx", "we" or "us" here). You accept it when you accept it in the Windows installer, when you accept it on your LarpMaxx dashboard before you link the app to your account, or when you install or use the Software, whichever happens first. If you do not accept it, do not install or use the Software.
1.1. "Software" means the LarpLocation desktop application for macOS, Windows and Linux in the version this agreement came with, including its iPhone helper, its documentation, and any fix or update LarpMaxx gives you for that version.
1.2. "Third-party components" means the software, data, fonts and other material made by others that the Software includes or uses. They are listed, with their licences, in the files third-party-notices.txt and LICENSES.chromium.html that come with the Software. Their licences apply to them as clause 7 says.
1.3. The LarpMaxx Terms of Service and the LarpMaxx Privacy Policy, both published on larpmaxx.com, also apply to your use of the Software. Where this agreement allows a use of the Software or gives you a right that the Terms of Service would otherwise restrict, this agreement applies. Otherwise, if the two conflict about the Software, this agreement applies. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, to accept this agreement.
2.1. The Software is licensed to you, not sold. LarpMaxx and its licensors own the Software and all rights in it. The Software is closed source: LarpMaxx does not give you its source code, except the source code of third-party components that their licences require us to make available.
2.2. LarpMaxx does not own the third-party components, including FFmpeg, the Chromium engine inside Electron, and the other components listed in the notices. Their owners keep all their rights.
3.1. While this agreement is in force, and on the condition in clause 4, LarpMaxx gives you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install the Software on computers that you own or control, and to use it with phones and tablets that you own or that their owner has authorised you to control, connected to your computer by USB or over your local network.
3.2. You may use the Software for your own personal purposes, and to develop and test location-dependent apps, websites and services, including commercial ones that you build or test for yourself, your employer or your clients. This licence covers your use only; it does not allow you to let other people use your copy of the Software or your account.
3.3. You may make one backup copy of the installer you downloaded, for your own use.
4.1. You may use the Software only while your LarpMaxx account has an active plan that includes LarpLocation. This is a condition of the licence in clause 3.
4.2. To link the Software to your account, you generate an activation code on your LarpMaxx dashboard and enter it in the app. A code works for a limited time and may work more than once while it is valid, so do not share it. The Software checks from time to time that your plan still includes LarpLocation, and it locks when it does not. Unlinking the app on a computer only removes the link from that computer.
4.3. Payments, cancellations and refunds are governed by the Terms of Service.
5.1. Except as clauses 7, 8 and 16 allow, you may not: (a) give, sell, rent, lend, share, publish or otherwise distribute the Software, its installers or your activation codes to anyone; (b) distribute a modified copy of the Software; (c) copy the Software except to install it as clause 3 allows and to keep the backup clause 3.3 allows; (d) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software; (e) remove or change any copyright, licence or other notice in the Software; or (f) sublicense or transfer your rights under this agreement.
5.2. Nothing in clause 5.1 limits what clauses 7 and 8 allow, or what the law allows you to do whatever a contract says.
6.1. LarpLocation changes the location that a phone reports to its apps. You are responsible for how you use it. You must not use the Software:
(a) to commit or help commit fraud of any kind, including to deceive any payment, banking, insurance, delivery, ride-hailing, gig-work, attendance, time-tracking, check-in, loyalty, reward, offer or promotion system, or any system that decides residency, tax status, eligibility or entitlement by location;
(b) to get around a restriction that the law requires, such as a legally required geographic restriction, a sanction, or a gambling, age or content rule;
(c) to stalk, harass, threaten or monitor any person, or to mislead someone about where you or anyone else is in a way that can harm them;
(d) on a phone or tablet that you do not own, unless its owner has authorised you;
(e) to break the law, or to break the terms of a third-party app or service; or
(f) to run bots or automated play in games, or to offer or advertise the Software, or anything made with it, as undetectable.
6.2. Other apps and services may detect a simulated location and may limit or close your account with them. That is a risk you take; LarpMaxx is not responsible for it.
6.3. Before you rely on a phone for navigation, for emergency calls or for anyone's safety, stop the simulation and confirm on the phone that it reports its true position again. Do not use the Software in a way that could put anyone in danger.
6.4. The Software asks you to turn on developer features on your phone, such as Developer Mode on an iPhone or USB debugging and a mock-location app on Android. You decide whether to turn them on, and you can turn them off when you are done.
6.5. LarpMaxx may suspend or end your access if it reasonably believes you have broken this clause 6.
7.1. Each third-party component is licensed under its own licence, shown in the notices that come with the Software. For a third-party component, its own licence prevails over this agreement, and you keep every right that licence gives you in that component. The restrictions in clause 5 do not apply to a third-party component to the extent its licence allows what they restrict.
7.2. The Software installs on Android phones a helper app, Appium Settings, which the Appium project publishes under the Apache License 2.0 and LarpMaxx ships unchanged. It contains Google Play services client libraries, which are subject to the Android Software Development Kit License Agreement and the other terms shown in the notices.
7.3. The Windows version includes two components of Microsoft Corporation (d3dcompiler_47.dll and dxil.dll). Microsoft and its suppliers own them, and they are licensed to you, not sold. You may use them only as part of the Software and only on Windows. You may not copy them except as part of the Software; distribute, publish, rent, lease, lend or transfer them separately; use them for commercial software hosting; work around any technical limitation in them; modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble them; or remove or change their notices, except to the extent that the law expressly allows it despite this limitation. Microsoft gives no warranty for them and is not liable to you for them. The permissions in clauses 7.1 and 8 do not extend to them.
8.1. The Software includes libraries licensed under version 2.1 or version 2.0 of the GNU Lesser (or Library) General Public License (the "LGPL"): FFmpeg, which is shipped as a separate library file (libffmpeg.dylib on macOS, ffmpeg.dll on Windows, libffmpeg.so on Linux); components of the Chromium engine inside Electron that are under the LGPL, including the parts of the Blink engine that come from WebKit, which are built into the Electron program files; and, in the Windows installer only, the nsis7z and StdUtils installer plug-ins. These libraries are used under, and covered by, the LGPL. The texts of both versions of the LGPL come with the Software in third-party-notices.txt and in LICENSES.chromium.html, and the notices of these libraries are in those two files. The nsis7z plug-in is based on 7-Zip, Copyright (C) 1999-2019 Igor Pavlov, and StdUtils is Copyright (C) 2004-2018 LoRd_MuldeR.
8.2. As section 6 of both versions of the LGPL requires, and despite clause 5, you may modify the Software for your own use and reverse engineer it to debug such modifications. In particular, you may replace a library listed in clause 8.1 with a modified or interface-compatible version of it, and on macOS you may re-sign the application on your own computer (for example with an ad-hoc signature) so that it starts with the replaced library. You may not distribute a modified copy of the Software, LarpMaxx does not support modified copies, and clause 4 still applies to any copy you use.
8.3. The Software includes components of the Chromium engine that are licensed under the Mozilla Public License, version 2.0 (the "MPL"), in executable form. This agreement does not limit or alter your rights under the MPL in the source code of those components.
8.4. The notices file that comes with each version says how to obtain the complete corresponding source code of the LGPL and MPL components of that version. The source code of FFmpeg and of the Windows installer plug-ins is published on your LarpMaxx dashboard, next to the installers of the same version and from the same download location. For the other components, the notices file contains LarpMaxx's written offer to provide the source code, valid for at least three years after LarpMaxx last distributes that version.
9.1. Some things the Software needs are not part of it. On your request, the Software may download Google's Android platform tools from Google, under Google's terms, and Apple developer disk images from the third-party hosts that publish them, and it may ask Apple's servers to approve a disk image for your phone. The Software asks before it downloads them. You are responsible for complying with the terms that apply to them.
9.2. The map, the place search and other online features use free public services run by third parties, such as OpenFreeMap for map tiles and Photon by komoot for place search, under their own terms. Map data is from OpenStreetMap contributors and available under the Open Database License. These services may change, limit or stop at any time, without notice to LarpMaxx or to you. LarpMaxx is not responsible for them.
9.3. The LarpMaxx Privacy Policy describes what information the Software sends, to whom and why.
10.1. The macOS versions of the Software are not signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarised by Apple, and the Windows version is not signed with a code-signing certificate. macOS and Windows will warn you about each new version and may refuse to open it until you allow it in their settings; Windows Smart App Control, when it is on, may block the Software entirely. Download the Software only from the links on your LarpMaxx dashboard, and check each file against the SHA256SUMS file published with it.
10.2. The Software does not update itself. New versions are offered on your LarpMaxx dashboard. Each version comes with its own licence agreement, which applies to that version when you accept it.
11.1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, CONDITION OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
11.2. In particular, LarpMaxx does not promise that any app or service will accept or show a simulated location, that the Software will keep working with future versions of iOS, iPadOS, Android, macOS, Windows or Linux, or with any phone, or that third-party services and downloads will stay available.
11.3. Some laws do not allow these exclusions, or give consumers rights that a contract cannot take away. Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits those rights.
12.1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, LARPMAXX, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL OR ACCOUNTS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING: THE LIMITATION OR CLOSING OF YOUR ACCOUNTS WITH OTHER APPS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF DATA ON, OR PROBLEMS WITH, YOUR PHONES, TABLETS OR COMPUTERS; AND CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE.
12.2. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, LARPMAXX'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO LARPMAXX IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE AND ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
12.3. Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits liability that the law does not allow to be excluded or limited.
13.1. To the extent the law allows, you will indemnify and hold harmless LarpMaxx, its owners, officers, employees and agents from claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of clause 5 or clause 6, or from your misuse of the Software.
14.1. This agreement ends automatically when your LarpMaxx account ends, or when LarpMaxx ends it because you have broken it. LarpMaxx may also end it on at least 30 days' notice if it stops offering LarpLocation.
14.2. When this agreement ends, the Software locks and you must stop using it and delete it. Clauses 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18 continue to apply, and the rights that third-party licences give you in third-party components continue under those licences.
15.1. LarpMaxx and LarpLocation are LarpMaxx's names. This agreement gives you no right to use them. Apple, iPhone, iPad, iPadOS and macOS are trademarks of Apple Inc. IOS is a trademark of Cisco Systems, Inc., used by Apple under licence. Android and Google Play are trademarks of Google LLC. Windows is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. Linux is a trademark of Linus Torvalds. The Software refers to them only to say what it works with. LarpMaxx is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by any of them.
16.1. Nothing in this agreement limits anything the law allows you to do whatever a contract says. Depending on where you live, that may include making a backup copy, observing, studying or testing how the Software works while you use it as this agreement allows, and decompiling parts of it to make it work with other software.
17.1. This agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of British Columbia have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute about the Software or this agreement.
17.2. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the place where you live, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts there.
17.3. To the extent the law allows, a claim relating to the Software or this agreement must be brought within one (1) year after it arises.
18.1. This agreement, the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and LarpMaxx about the Software. If a court finds part of this agreement unenforceable, the rest stays in force. If LarpMaxx does not enforce a right, it does not give up that right. You may not transfer this agreement; LarpMaxx may transfer it to someone who takes over LarpLocation.
18.2. You must comply with the export control and sanctions laws that apply to you and to the Software.
18.3. LarpMaxx gives notice under this agreement by email to your account's address or on your LarpMaxx dashboard.
18.4. Questions about this agreement: team@larpmaxx.com.
