Terms of Use

What these terms cover

These terms are an agreement between you and Marram Software LLC about your use of this website. They cover the pages you are reading and the files this site serves you.

They do not cover our software. The iVex applications are not sold, licensed or delivered through this website, and nothing here grants you any right in them. A later section says where their terms live.

Accepting these terms

By using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site. Nothing here requires an account, so closing the tab is the whole of the opt-out.

You do not need our permission to read, link to or quote this site, and reading it costs you nothing. What you get in return is what is written here — no more, and, we hope, no less.

How you may use this site

Read it, print it, quote it, link to it, and send it to anyone you like. That is what it is for. Search engines and ordinary crawlers are welcome; this site is meant to be found.

Please do not do any of the following:

• Copy the site wholesale or republish it as your own work.
• Frame it, or present it as though it were somebody else's site.
• Run automated collection heavy enough to affect its availability for other people.
• Probe, scan or test the security of this site or the network behind it.
• Use our published contact addresses to send bulk unsolicited email.

Content on this site

The text, code, layout, design and images on this site are ours and are protected by copyright. You may quote a reasonable extract with attribution and a link back — that is ordinary practice and we encourage it.

Republishing whole pages, or building a derivative site from this one, needs our written permission. Ask, and the answer is often yes.

Names and trademarks

"Marram Software" and "iVex" are names we use in trade. Nothing on this site should be read as a claim that either is a registered trademark.

Other names that appear here — including Apple, macOS, iOS, Android, Google, Linux, Cloudflare and mihomo — belong to their respective owners. We use them only to state accurately what our software runs on, what it is built from, and who hosts this site. Their appearance implies no affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from any of them.

Statements about software under development

This site describes software we are building. Where a page says something is in development, that describes the state of the work at the time the page was written. It is not a promise that the feature will ship, ship on a date, or ship in the form described.

Descriptions of how our software behaves are written to be accurate, not to create a warranty. They do not form part of any agreement covering the software, and where a definitive agreement exists, that agreement governs.

No warranty for this site

THIS WEBSITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". We write it carefully and correct mistakes when we find them, but we do not warrant that it is accurate, complete or current, that it will be available without interruption, or that it is free of errors. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Nothing on this site is legal, security or engineering advice for your situation.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Marram Software LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data or business interruption, arising out of your use of this website — even if we were told such damages were possible.

Our total liability arising out of this website is limited to one hundred United States dollars (US$100). That figure reflects what this site is: a free, informational publication for which you pay nothing.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions or limits. Where that is so, they apply to you only as far as that jurisdiction permits, and nothing here removes a right you have under mandatory consumer law.

Links to other sites

Where we link out, we link because the destination is useful — a standards document, an open-source project, a public registry record. We do not control those sites, we do not endorse everything on them, and we are not responsible for their content, their availability or how they handle your data. Once you leave, their terms apply and ours do not.

Our software is governed by separate terms

Use of the iVex applications — installing them, subscribing, paying, obtaining a refund, and how the service handles your data — is governed by the terms of use and privacy policy presented inside the application and at the point of purchase. Those are the operative documents for the software.

These website terms do not amend them, do not restate them, and create no right in the software. Where a description on this website differs from those documents, those documents govern. If you are an iVex user with a question about your subscription, your account or your data, that is where to look, and our support address is the route to a person.

Privacy

How this website handles data is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. The short version: no cookies, no analytics, no third-party scripts and no form.

Governing law and where disputes are heard

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of this website or these terms is to be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in Wyoming, and you and we each consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

If you are a consumer resident somewhere whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings locally, or gives you protections that cannot be contracted away, this section does not take that away.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms. The version on this page, carrying the effective date shown at the top, is the one that applies, and we keep every earlier version. A material change moves the effective date.

Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms. Changes do not apply retroactively to a dispute that has already arisen.

General

If a provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest stands. If we do not enforce a provision on one occasion, we have not given it up.

Together with the Privacy Policy, these terms are the whole of the agreement between you and us about this website. They do not replace any separate agreement covering our software. We may assign them to a successor to our business; you may not assign them. They create no rights in anyone who is not a party to them.

Contact

Questions about these terms go to our legal address. It is printed as plain text in the footer of every page on this site and on our contact page, together with our postal address and telephone number.

Language

These terms are published in English and in Chinese, and the two are written to say the same thing. If they differ, the English version governs.
