2 Description of the Service

Synchronization is a peer-to-peer audio streaming utility that enables you to transmit real-time audio from a desktop browser or a host mobile device to one or more Android devices connected to the same local Wi-Fi network or mobile hotspot. The Service functions as a transport layer only.

Synchronization Labs does not provide, host, distribute, license, curate, or control any media content transmitted through the Service. We are not a streaming service, a content platform, or a media library. We provide the technical infrastructure for devices you own or control to communicate with each other directly. You are entirely and solely responsible for all Content you choose to transmit through the Service.

The Service is provided free of charge and is supported by third-party advertisements served by Google AdMob. By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept that advertisements will be displayed within the application.

3 Acceptance by Use and Policy Updates

By downloading, installing, or using the Service in any manner, you represent and warrant that you have read this Agreement in its entirety, that you understand it, and that you agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions. If you are using the Service on behalf of another person, you represent that you have the authority to bind that person to this Agreement.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms and the Privacy Policy at any time at our sole discretion, with or without notice to you. All modifications will be effective immediately upon being posted to our website with a revised effective date. Because we do not collect contact information, we are unable to provide direct notification of changes. Your continued access to or use of the Service after any modification constitutes your unconditional acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, your sole remedy is to immediately discontinue use of the Service and uninstall all components.

4 Eligibility and Age Restriction

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. This minimum age is set because the Service incorporates Google AdMob, which may collect advertising identifiers from users, and compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of the United States and equivalent international children's privacy laws requires that such data collection not occur in connection with users under the age of 13.

If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, or between 13 and the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by this Agreement on your behalf.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirements above. If we discover that a user is under 13 years of age, we will take reasonable steps to prevent that user from accessing the Service.

5 License Grant and Restrictions

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Synchronization Labs grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free license to download, install, and use the Service solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

This license does not permit you to, and you expressly agree that you will not:

• Copy, modify, adapt, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works based on the Service or any part of it.
• Sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, or assign the Service or any rights therein to any third party.
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, copyright statements, or branding incorporated in the Service.
• Use the Service or any part of it to build a competing product or service, or extract features for use in a third-party application without prior written permission from Synchronization Labs.
• Attempt to circumvent any technical protection measures or security features of the Service.
• Use automated scripts, bots, or other automated means to access or interact with the Service.

All rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement are reserved by Synchronization Labs. The Service is licensed to you, not sold.

6 Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use the Service only in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including the laws of the United States, Canada, the European Union, India, and any other jurisdiction in which you access or use the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, you must not use the Service to:

• Stream, reproduce, retransmit, or publicly perform any audio or media content in a manner that infringes the copyright or other intellectual property rights of any person or entity, including violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the Copyright Act (Canada), the EU Copyright Directive, or the Indian Copyright Act, 1957.
• Circumvent or bypass digital rights management (DRM) protections, technological protection measures, or access controls implemented by any content owner or distribution platform.

• Use the Service to facilitate the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted content to individuals who do not hold a lawful right to access it.
• Use the Service for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent, including using it to provide audio streaming services to paying customers.

7 Your Content and Copyright Responsibility

You retain all ownership rights in the Content you transmit through the Service. By using the Service to transmit Content, you represent and warrant that:

• You own the Content you transmit, or you have obtained all necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions from the copyright owner to stream that Content in the manner you are using the Service.
• Your use of the Service to transmit the Content does not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of any third party.
• You have complied with and will continue to comply with the terms of service of any third-party platform providing the Content, including without limitation YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, Apple Music, Amazon Prime Video, and any other service.

Safe harbor and conduit status. Synchronization Labs operates as a passive technical conduit in the same manner as an internet service provider or a network router. We do not monitor, intercept, store, review, or control the Content transmitted through the Service. We do not initiate transmissions, select recipients beyond what is necessary to establish the peer-to-peer connection you request, or modify Content in transit. Accordingly, we assert that we qualify for safe harbor protections under Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the equivalent provisions of Canadian copyright law, the EU Electronic Commerce Directive, and equivalent conduit liability exemptions in other applicable jurisdictions.

You are entirely and solely responsible for any Content you transmit and for any legal consequences arising from your use of the Service to transmit that Content. Synchronization Labs shall have no liability whatsoever for any claims, damages, or proceedings arising from Content transmitted by users.

8 Third-Party Advertising

The Service displays third-party advertisements served by Google AdMob. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Advertisements will be displayed within the application during normal use, including upon opening the app, during sessions, and at other points within the user experience.
• Google AdMob may collect device identifiers and other data for the purposes of serving and measuring advertisements, as described in our Privacy Policy.
• Synchronization Labs is not responsible for the content of any third-party advertisement displayed within the Service. Any complaint or concern regarding ad content should be directed to Google.
• Synchronization Labs does not endorse any product or service advertised within the Service.

Google's advertising services are governed by the Google Advertising Policies available at support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543 and Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you are also subject to Google's policies with respect to the advertising functionality.

9 Third-Party Platforms and Content Services

The Service is technically capable of capturing and transmitting audio from any browser tab. Synchronization Labs is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in partnership with any content platform, including Google, YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, Apple, Amazon, or any other third-party service.

Your use of any third-party content platform in conjunction with the Service is governed solely by that platform's own terms of service, end-user license agreements, and applicable law. It is your sole responsibility to review and comply with those terms before using the Service in connection with any third-party platform. We make no representation that any particular use of the Service in connection with a third-party platform is permitted by that platform's terms.

10 Network, Device, and Performance Disclaimer

The performance of the Service, including audio latency, synchronization precision, connection stability, and audio quality, depends on factors entirely outside our control, including the speed and stability of your local Wi-Fi network, your router configuration, your device hardware, your Android operating system version, and background process management by your device.

You acknowledge and accept that:

• All devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network or the host must provide a mobile hotspot. Network-level device isolation, enforced on many public, corporate, and institutional networks, will prevent the Service from functioning.
• Active VPN software on any participating device may prevent peer-to-peer connections from being established.
• Audio synchronization is a best-effort service. We do not guarantee any specific level of latency, synchronization precision, or audio quality. The Service is not suitable for professional or mission-critical audio applications, live performance use, emergency communications, or any situation in which audio failure could result in harm.
• Android battery optimization settings may interrupt background audio playback. We recommend disabling battery optimization for the application to maintain session continuity during extended use.
• The signaling server infrastructure is provided on an as-available basis. We do not guarantee any specific uptime, availability, or continuity of the signaling server service.

11 Intellectual Property

The Service, including all software code, user interface design, architecture, branding, trademarks, logos, and documentation, is owned by or licensed to Synchronization Labs and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws including the copyright laws of India, the United States, and other applicable jurisdictions.

Nothing in this Agreement transfers to you any ownership interest in the Service or any of its components. You may not use the Synchronization name, logo, or any related marks without our prior written consent.

Any feedback, ideas, suggestions, or recommendations you voluntarily provide to us regarding the Service may be used by us freely and without any obligation, compensation, or restriction.

USE OF THE SERVICE IN SUCH CONTEXTS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS EXPRESSLY OUTSIDE THE INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE SERVICE.

Some jurisdictions, including certain Canadian provinces and EU member states, do not permit the exclusion or limitation of liability for certain types of damages.

We have no obligation to maintain the signaling server or the Service indefinitely. Discontinuation of the signaling server will prevent new peer-to-peer connections from being established but will not affect existing direct connections until they naturally terminate.
