Terms of Service

In plain English: seQRets is a tool that encrypts your secrets, splits them into multiple QR code shares, and lets you distribute them. Everything runs on your device. We have no ability to access, recover, or view your data.

seQRets provides client-side cryptographic tools for encrypting sensitive information and splitting it into threshold shares using Shamir's Secret Sharing, rendered as QR codes ("Qards"). The Services operate entirely on your device. We do not operate servers that process, store, or have access to your secrets, passwords, shares, or any cryptographic material. We have no ability to recover lost data.

In plain English: You're responsible for your own secrets, passwords, and Qard shares. If you lose them, they're gone. We can't help you recover anything — that's a feature, not a limitation.

By using the Services, you acknowledge and accept the following responsibilities:

• •Password management: You are solely responsible for remembering or securely storing the passwords used to encrypt your secrets. There is no password recovery mechanism.
• •Share custody: You are responsible for the safekeeping and distribution of your Qard shares. If you lose enough shares to fall below your chosen threshold, your secret is irrecoverable.
• •Device security: You are responsible for ensuring the device on which you run seQRets is free from malware, unauthorized browser extensions, and other threats.
• •Lawful use: You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

In plain English: We are not liable if you lose access to your secrets, lose cryptocurrency, or suffer any other loss from using seQRets. Because we have zero access to your data, we have zero ability to help recover it.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall seQRets, its contributors, maintainers, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, cryptocurrency, digital assets, or other intangible losses, resulting from (a) your use of or inability to use the Services; (b) loss of access to encrypted secrets, shares, passwords, or Qards; (c) unauthorized access to or alteration of your device or data; (d) any bugs, errors, or vulnerabilities in the software; or (e) any other matter relating to the Services. This limitation applies whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In plain English: The source code is open source under AGPLv3. You can read, audit, fork, and modify it — subject to that license. Commercial licensing is available separately.

The seQRets source code is released under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (AGPLv3). You may use, copy, modify, and distribute the source code in accordance with that license. The full license text is available in the project's GitHub repository.

For commercial licensing inquiries (use in proprietary products, enterprise deployments, or contexts where AGPLv3 obligations are not feasible), contact licensing@seqrets.app.

In plain English: The desktop app and physical accessories are paid products. When the shop launches, purchases will be handled through a third-party payment processor. We'll update this section with specific terms at that time.

Certain products, including the seQRets desktop application and physical accessories, may be offered for purchase. All payment processing is handled by third-party providers. We do not directly collect or store payment information. Specific purchase terms, including refund policies and delivery terms, will be provided at the point of sale and are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Intellectual Property

The seQRets name, logo, and branding are the property of seQRets. The source code is licensed under AGPLv3 as described above. Third-party libraries used in seQRets retain their respective licenses and copyrights. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to our trademarks or branding beyond what is necessary to use the Services.

Termination

Since seQRets has no accounts, there is nothing to "terminate" in the traditional sense. You may stop using the Services at any time. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Services (or any part thereof) at any time without notice. Because the software is open source, the cryptographic tools remain available to the community regardless of the status of our hosted Services.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The revised version will be posted at this URL with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. Material changes will also be noted in our GitHub repository.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction.
