Terms
Terms of service
These are the terms for using notifi — the apps and the notifi.it service. Using either means you accept them.
The service
notifi delivers push notifications: an HTTP request to notifi.it/send, authenticated by a send key, becomes a notification on the device that created the key. The service is free, and there is no account — your device’s keys are your identity, as the privacy policy describes.
The service is run by Maximilian Mitchell, based in the United Kingdom. Contact: hello@notifi.it.
Your keys and your device
- A send key delivers only to the device that created it. You are responsible for where you put your keys and for what the scripts holding them send.
- If a key leaks, revoke it in the app. Sends made with it before revocation still count as yours.
- Deleting the app deletes your identity. There is no recovery.
Acceptable use
- Use the service only for lawful purposes.
- Do not attempt to disrupt the service, probe it for weaknesses beyond what responsible disclosure needs, or circumvent the rate limits.
- Do not send content you have no right to send, even to your own device.
Keys or devices used in breach of these terms can be blocked without notice. If someone brings a claim against notifi because of what you sent or how you used the service in breach of these terms or the law, responding to it is your responsibility, not notifi’s — except to the extent the claim arises from notifi’s own fault.
What the service does not promise
The service is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, and without an uptime or delivery guarantee. Delivery depends on Apple’s push service, your network, and your device’s settings, none of which notifi controls. The service may change, be interrupted, or be discontinued.
Do not make notifi the only path for anything where a missed notification causes harm. It is a pager for your own systems, not a life-safety, medical or emergency alerting system, and it must not be relied on as one. A notification about a safety-relevant event is a fine use; notifi as the only alarm is not.
Liability
notifi is not liable for losses caused by a notification that arrives late, arrives altered by a fault, or does not arrive at all, nor for losses caused by the service being interrupted, changed or discontinued. Two things these terms do not exclude, because the law does not allow it: liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and fraud. If you are a consumer, you also keep every protection the law of the country you live in gives you that cannot be waived by agreement.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you additionally benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of the country you live in, and you may bring a claim there or in England and Wales; a claim against you can be brought only in the country you live in. If you use the service for business purposes, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
The apps
The iPhone app is distributed through the App Store, where Apple’s own terms also apply. The Mac app is distributed from this site and updates itself. The source code for the apps and the service is public at github.com/notifi-it/notifi, under the licence stated there.
Changes and contact
These terms may change to reflect changes in the law, in Apple’s requirements, or in what the service does. When they change, the date at the top of this page changes with it, the previous versions remain in the public git history of the project, and a material change is announced on this site before it takes effect. You can stop using the service, and revoke your keys, at any time and at no cost.
