Terms of Service

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Zee Cast mobile application for iOS, iPadOS, and Android (the "App") and the website at zeecast.eslamx.com (the "Website"). By installing, using, or purchasing within the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes exactly what the App does and does not do with your data.

2. What Zee Cast Is

Zee Cast turns your phone into a local UPnP/DLNA media server. You select photos, videos, and supported audio from your own device, and the App advertises and streams those selections to compatible DLNA/UPnP players — such as smart TVs, media boxes, and desktop players — over your local Wi-Fi network or personal hotspot.

• No account required: There is no sign-up, no login, and no Zee Cast user profile.
• Local by design: Core sharing happens entirely on your local network, directly between your phone and your chosen player.
• No Zee Cast cloud: Your selected media is never uploaded to, stored on, or streamed through Zee Cast servers.
• No transcoding by default: Media is served as-is; delivery depends on what your player supports.

3. Your Media, Your Responsibility

You retain all rights to the media you select and serve through the App. Zee Cast claims no ownership over your content and never receives a copy of it.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the right to access, stream, and display the media you share, and for complying with any copyright or licensing terms that apply to it.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App to:

• Share content you do not have the legal right to share;
• Distribute, sublicense, resell, or attempt to reverse-engineer the App except where permitted by law;
• Serve media to networks or devices you do not own or have permission to use;
• Circumvent purchase verification or entitlement checks for Zee Cast Pro.

Because Zee Cast is a local-network server, you are also responsible for the security of the network you run it on. Do not enable sharing on public or untrusted networks where you would not want others to reach the content you have made visible.

5. Free Edition and Zee Cast Pro

The App is free to download and use with the Free Edition, which includes limits on the number of items and collections and on session length. Zee Cast Pro is a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks advanced settings and removes those limits.

• Processed by the stores: All purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see or store your payment details.
• One-time purchase: Pro is not a subscription and does not renew.
• Restores: You can restore your purchase on the same store account at any time.
• Refunds: Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google under their respective policies; we cannot issue refunds directly.
• Grandfathering: Content you already have over a Free Edition limit is never deleted or hidden — only new additions above the limit are blocked.

6. Our Privacy Commitments

These commitments are a material part of these Terms:

• No ads. The App contains no advertising and no advertising SDKs.
• No tracking. The App contains no analytics, tracking pixels, or third-party data-collection SDKs, and does not access your advertising identifier.
• No cloud upload. Your selected media is served from your device and is not uploaded to Zee Cast.
• No account data. We hold no personal profile about you, because there is no account.

Full detail, including the narrow exceptions that require internet access (such as store purchases and restores), is set out in our Privacy Policy.

7. The Website

The Website is separate from the App. Unlike the App, the Website uses privacy-respecting analytics and advertising measurement to understand visits and app-store clicks. This is described in the Privacy Policy and never applies to the media you serve through the App.

8. Third-Party Devices, Software, and Trademarks

Zee Cast works with third-party DLNA/UPnP players, smart TVs, and operating systems that we do not own or control. Their availability, features, and compatibility may change at any time without notice.

All product names, logos, and brands referenced in the App, the Website, or our guides — including television, console, and software brands — are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only. Their use does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those owners.

9. Network Requirements and Availability

Zee Cast requires a functioning local network (Wi-Fi or personal hotspot) and a compatible player. Discovery relies on standard multicast (SSDP), which some networks, guest networks, or routers may restrict; some players may not support every media format.

We do not guarantee that any particular device, network, or media format will work. The App is provided on an "as available" basis.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Zee Cast and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, media, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time — for example, if we add a feature or if the law changes. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Because there is no account, uninstalling removes your local settings and collections from your device. We may suspend or discontinue the App or any part of it at our discretion.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer resides, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer rights you have under the laws of your country of residence.
