Phoebe's Magnet — Proprietary Software License

This license governs your use of Phoebe's Magnet, including the compiled application, documentation, and associated files distributed by the copyright holder (the "Software"). By installing, copying, or otherwise using the Software, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE

Subject to the terms below, the copyright holder grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the compiled application, in the form distributed by the copyright holder, for non-commercial purposes on devices you own or are authorized to use.

2. RESTRICTIONS

Except as expressly permitted in writing by the copyright holder, you may not:

a. copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
b. distribute, sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, publish, or otherwise make the Software available to any third party;
c. reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
d. remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in the Software; or
e. use the Software to infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any person.

The Software is closed source. This license does not grant you any right to access, use, copy, modify, or distribute its source code.

3. ACCEPTABLE USE

The Software is a general-purpose tool for playing media shared over the BitTorrent protocol. You are solely responsible for the content you access, download, or share with it, and for complying with all applicable laws, including copyright laws. The copyright holder does not host, index, endorse, or control any content accessed through the Software.

The Software does not provide, index, host, search for, or link to any media files, torrent files, or magnet links. It only opens links that you supply. Like other BitTorrent clients, the Software shares pieces of the content you open with other peers while it is running.

4. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

The Software includes third-party open source components that are licensed under their own terms. Those terms govern your use of those components, and nothing in this license limits your rights under them. See the accompanying third-party notices for details.

5. PRIVACY

The Software does not collect analytics, telemetry, or crash reports, and does not send your data to the copyright holder. It connects to the internet in two ways:

a. To check for and download updates, it contacts GitHub, which receives your IP address and handles it under its own privacy policy.
b. To play content, it connects to BitTorrent peers, trackers, and the distributed hash table (DHT). As with any BitTorrent client, your IP address is visible to them, along with the content you are downloading and sharing.

6. OWNERSHIP

The Software is licensed, not sold. Except for the third-party components described in Section 4, the copyright holder retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

7. UPDATES

The Software checks for updates automatically, downloads them in the background, and installs them when you quit the application, without further action from you. Updates may add, change, or remove features. Each update is governed by the version of this license distributed with it, which replaces this version from the time you install the update. By continuing to use the Software after an update, you accept the updated license.

8. TERMINATION

This license terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms. On termination, you must stop using the Software and delete all copies in your possession. Sections 6, 9, 10, and 11 survive termination.

9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OF OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ANY CONTENT ACCESSED THROUGH IT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER FOR THE SOFTWARE OR TEN CANADIAN DOLLARS AND SIXTY-NINE CENTS (CAD $10.69).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT CASE, THEY APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

11. GENERAL

This license is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent permitted by law, any legal action or proceeding arising under this license shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the Province of British Columbia, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

If any provision of this license is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. This license is the entire agreement between you and the copyright holder regarding the Software.
