End User License Agreement

Version 1.1  ·  Effective date:

PLEASE READ THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SOUND STATUS APPLICATION ("LICENSED APPLICATION"). BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE LICENSED APPLICATION, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR USE THE LICENSED APPLICATION.


1. Acknowledgement

This Agreement is concluded between you ("End User") and J. Patrick Fulton, doing business as Fulton Engineering Services ("Licensor"), and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). The Licensor, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Licensed Application and its content. This Agreement may not conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions as of the date you accepted this Agreement (the "Effective Date").

2. Scope of License

The Licensor grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Licensed Application on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, subject to the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. This license does not allow you to use the Licensed Application on any device that you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make the Licensed Application available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time. You may not sell, rent, lease, lend, redistribute, or sublicense the Licensed Application. You may not copy (except as permitted by this license and the Usage Rules), reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the Licensed Application, any updates, or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent that any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open-sourced components included with the Licensed Application). Family Sharing and volume purchasing arrangements made available through the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions are permitted.

3. Third-Party Services and Terms

The Licensed Application communicates with third-party services including, but not limited to, the Slack API (operated by Salesforce, Inc.) and the Apple iTunes Lookup API. Your use of these services is subject to the respective terms of service and privacy policies of those providers. The Licensor is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of any third-party service, and the Licensor does not endorse any third-party service. You are solely responsible for maintaining valid credentials for any third-party service you connect to through the Licensed Application, and for ensuring that your use of the Licensed Application complies with the terms of service of any such third-party service, including any applicable Slack workspace policies. When using the Licensed Application, you must also comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement, including your wireless data service agreement.

During the Slack authorization process, the Licensed Application directs your browser to a static redirect page hosted at soundstatus.io/oauth/callback. This page contains no server-side logic and serves only to redirect the Slack OAuth callback to the Licensed Application via the soundstatus:// custom URL scheme. No data is logged, stored, or processed on behalf of the Licensor during this redirect.

4. Maintenance and Support

The Licensor is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the Licensed Application, as specified in this Agreement or as required under applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Licensed Application. The Licensor may, at its sole discretion, provide updates, bug fixes, or enhancements to the Licensed Application but is not obligated to do so.

5. Warranty

THE LICENSED APPLICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE LICENSED APPLICATION WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT ITS OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY THE LICENSOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.

In the event of any failure of the Licensed Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the Licensed Application to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Licensed Application, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of the Licensor.

6. Product Claims

The Licensor, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the Licensed Application or your possession and use of the Licensed Application, including but not limited to:

7. Intellectual Property

The Licensor, not Apple, is solely responsible for any claim by a third party that the Licensed Application or your possession and use of the Licensed Application infringes that third party's intellectual property rights. In the event of any such claim, the Licensor, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

8. Data Handling and Privacy

The Licensed Application accesses metadata from Apple Music (including track title, artist, album name, and playback state) solely for the purpose of updating your Slack profile status and, if configured, posting messages to a Slack channel. This metadata is transmitted directly from your device to the Slack API and, in some cases, to the Apple iTunes Lookup API for album art retrieval. No data is collected by or transmitted to the Licensor.

Your Slack OAuth token is obtained via standard OAuth 2.0 authorization and stored locally in the macOS Keychain on your device. The Licensor does not have access to your token and cannot retrieve it. You are solely responsible for the security of your device and your Slack credentials. The Licensor does not incorporate analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or any other mechanism that transmits data to the Licensor or any party other than the third-party services you explicitly configure.

During Slack authorization, an OAuth callback containing a single-use authorization code is routed through a static page at soundstatus.io/oauth/callback before being forwarded to the Licensed Application. This page does not log, store, or process any data.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE LICENSED APPLICATION, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Licensor shall not be liable for any damages arising from:

The Licensor's total cumulative liability under this Agreement shall not exceed fifty U.S. dollars ($50.00).

10. Export Compliance and Legal Compliance

You represent and warrant that:

You may not use or export the Licensed Application except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Licensed Application was obtained.

11. Third-Party Beneficiary

You and the Licensor acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

The underlying source code of the Licensed Application may, at the Licensor's sole discretion, be made available under the Apache License, Version 2.0 ("Apache 2.0") through a separate distribution channel (such as a public source code repository). If and when the source code is made available under Apache 2.0, the terms of that license govern your use of the source code only. This Agreement governs your use of the compiled Licensed Application as distributed through the Apple App Store, regardless of whether the source code is or becomes available under a separate license.

17. Entire Agreement

No amendment to or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by the Licensor.
