Terms of Use

1.Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms are a legal agreement between you and A&A Global International LLC ("we," "us" or "our"), the company behind PadLinker. They cover the iOS App (the iPhone/iPad app), the Mac App, and the website at padlinker.com — together, the "Services."

Only the iOS App is distributed through Apple's App Store; your use of it is also governed by Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA," available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/). These Terms supplement the Apple EULA for the iOS App and do not replace it; where these Terms conflict with the Apple EULA, the Apple EULA controls the license grant for the iOS App, and the provisions of the "Apple and third-party terms" section apply. The Mac App is distributed by A&A Global International LLC directly from padlinker.com and is governed solely by these Terms — no Apple EULA applies to it.

You must be able to form a binding contract to use the Services: you must be at least 13 years old, and if you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf. If you don't agree with these Terms, don't download, install or use PadLinker.

2.Definitions

The following terms have the meanings below wherever they appear in these Terms, capitalized:

• "Apps" means the iOS App and the Mac App together.
• "iOS App" means the PadLinker application for iPhone and iPad, distributed on the App Store.
• "Mac App" means the PadLinker application for Mac, distributed as a signed, notarized download from padlinker.com.
• "Website" means the site at padlinker.com.
• "PadLinker Pro" means the non-consumable in-app purchase that unlocks the Pro features described on the Website.
• "Apple" means Apple Inc. and its affiliates.
• "Apple Account" means the account you use to sign in to the App Store and other Apple services.
• "Services" means the Apps and the Website together.

3.License to use the Mac App

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Mac App on Macs you own or control.

You may not reverse engineer, modify or redistribute the Mac App, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.

Updates to the Mac App delivered through the app itself are part of the Mac App and are covered by these Terms.

The Mac App is provided free of charge.

4.License to use the iOS App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and the Apple EULA, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the iOS App on any Apple device that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store's Usage Rules. The Mac App's license is set out in the previous section.

Where Family Sharing is enabled on your Apple Account, members of your family group may use PadLinker Pro on their own devices under Apple's Family Sharing rules; the license in this section extends to that use.

You may not sublicense, rent, lease or lend the Apps to anyone else. All rights in the Apps not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by us and our licensors.

5.Using PadLinker responsibly

PadLinker turns touches, gestures and key presses on your iPhone or iPad into real pointer movement, clicks, scrolling and keyboard input on another device, in real time, directly between your two devices, over Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth to the free Mac app.

You may only use PadLinker to control a Mac that you own or that you have explicit authorization to control. You are solely responsible for everything done on that device through your device while connected via PadLinker.

Only connect over Wi‑Fi on a network you trust. As explained in the Privacy Policy, the Wi‑Fi connection between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac is not encrypted, so anyone able to observe traffic on that network could, in principle, observe what you're doing; a Bluetooth connection is encrypted by your devices' own pairing.

Keep your iPhone, iPad, Mac and their operating systems reasonably up to date — PadLinker relies on current Apple frameworks for input capture and injection, and older OS versions may behave unpredictably.

6.Purchases, PadLinker Pro and refunds

PadLinker Pro is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase made on an iPhone or iPad through Apple. It is not a subscription and does not expire. Once purchased, it unlocks the Pro features on every iPhone and iPad signed in with the same Apple Account, and it supports Family Sharing under Apple's rules.

The Mac App is always free and does not gate any feature behind PadLinker Pro.

Prices are set and displayed by Apple in your local currency at the time of purchase. We may offer PadLinker Pro at a launch or introductory price for a limited time; that price may change without notice, and any applicable taxes are calculated and collected by Apple.

All billing, receipts and refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. We do not process payments and cannot issue refunds directly — to request one, use "Report a Problem" in your Apple purchase history or contact Apple Support.

7.Acceptable use

When using the Services, you agree not to:

• Access, or attempt to access, any device or network without authorization;
• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to disrupt the proper working of any device, network, or other user's use of PadLinker;
• Circumvent, disable or attempt to circumvent the PadLinker Pro entitlement, Apple's receipt validation, or any other technical protection or digital rights management measure;
• Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Apps, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
• Copy, redistribute, sell, rent or lease the Apps, or any part of them, to any third party;
• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose, or in any way that infringes the rights of others.

8.Intellectual property

The Apps, the Website, the PadLinker name and logo, the screenshots and all other content we provide as part of the Services are owned by A&A Global International LLC or our licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

These Terms don't grant you any right to use our trademarks, logos or brand features except as necessary to use the Apps as intended. Apple's trademarks (including Apple, iPhone, iPad, Mac and the App Store logo) belong to Apple, and nothing here grants you any right in them.

If you send us feedback, ideas or suggestions about PadLinker, you agree that we may use them freely, without any obligation to compensate you or keep them confidential.

9.Privacy

PadLinker has no accounts, no sign-in and no servers of ours. Neither app sends your pointer movements, keystrokes, gestures, or Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth details to us or to any third party. The iOS App collects nothing; the Mac App sends anonymous crash reports, only when something goes wrong, which you can turn off with the "Send crash reports" toggle in its menu bar.

The Privacy Policy explains, in detail, what the Website's hosting provider processes (cookieless analytics and short-lived server logs), what Sentry processes for the Mac App's crash reports, what Apple processes for App Store purchases, and how the local connection between your devices works over Wi‑Fi (unencrypted) and Bluetooth (encrypted by the system's pairing).

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

10.Apple and third-party terms

These clauses apply to the iOS App only — the Mac App is not distributed on Apple's App Store, so none of this section applies to it. Because the iOS App is distributed on Apple's platform, the following terms, which Apple requires developers to include, apply between you and us:

• These Terms are an agreement between you and A&A Global International LLC only, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the iOS App or its content.
• Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for the iOS App.
• If the iOS App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the iOS App to you, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the iOS App.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the iOS App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the iOS App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any claim that the iOS App, or your possession and use of it, infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
• You must comply with applicable third-party agreements when using the iOS App, such as your wireless carrier's or Wi‑Fi provider's terms of service.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to the iOS App, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce those Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

11.Updates, availability and changes to the Apps

We may release updates to the Apps, and we may add, change or discontinue features at any time, including to comply with changes to Apple's platforms or requirements.

We may also set minimum supported operating system versions, and features may stop working correctly if you don't keep your devices updated.

If you have purchased PadLinker Pro, that entitlement continues to unlock the Pro features of any version of the Apps that offers them. We are under no obligation to provide updates, but we don't take away a purchased entitlement.

12.Legal and export compliance

By using the Services, you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

You agree to comply with all applicable local laws regarding your use of the Services.

13.Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT THE WIRELESS CONNECTION BETWEEN YOUR DEVICES IS ENCRYPTED OR IMMUNE FROM INTERCEPTION, OR THAT ANY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED. YOU USE PADLINKER TO CONTROL A REAL MAC IN REAL TIME AT YOUR OWN RISK.

14.Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR PADLINKER PRO, AND (B) TWENTY U.S. DOLLARS (USD 20).

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS OR EXCLUDES OUR LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, FOR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING MANDATORY CONSUMER-PROTECTION RIGHTS THAT ARE NOT WAIVABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY OR STATE OF RESIDENCE.

15.Your responsibility for misuse

If you use PadLinker to access or control a device without authorization, or otherwise breach these Terms, you are responsible for any resulting claims, losses, damages and reasonable costs (including legal fees) that we or a third party incur because of that misuse.

This section doesn't require you to defend us in court or pay for claims that arise from our own breach of these Terms or applicable law.

16.Termination

You may stop using PadLinker at any time by deleting the Apps from your devices. Deleting the Apps does not affect any PadLinker Pro purchase already recorded with your Apple Account.

We may suspend or terminate your license to use the Apps if you materially breach these Terms, including the Acceptable Use section, though we'll generally give you a chance to fix the issue first where the breach is not serious or repeated.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Your Responsibility for Misuse, and Governing Law — will survive. Any PadLinker Pro purchase remains subject to Apple's own terms regardless of termination.

17.Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll post the revised Terms here with a new "Last updated" date.

If a change is material, we'll also note it in the Apps' release notes or on the Website. Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

18.Governing law, venue and consumer rights

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Subject to the consumer protections described below, the exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services is the state and federal courts located in Osceola County, Florida, and you and we each consent to personal jurisdiction there.

If you are a consumer, nothing in this section deprives you of any protection given to you by the mandatory laws of the country or state where you live, and you may always bring a claim in the courts of your own country or state where that law gives you the right to do so — for example, under Brazil's Código de Defesa do Consumidor (Lei 8.078/1990, art. 101, I) for consumers in Brazil, under Regulation (EC) 593/2008 (Rome I), article 6, and Regulation (EU) 1215/2012, articles 17–19, for consumers in the European Union or European Economic Area, and under the equivalent rules that apply in the United Kingdom.

Before starting a formal claim, please try to resolve the issue informally: write to support@aeaglobalinternational.com describing the problem, and give us 30 days to respond and try to resolve it.

19.General

A few standard terms:

• Severability: if any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in full force and effect.
• Entire agreement: together with the Apple EULA and the Privacy Policy, these Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services, and supersede any prior agreements on the subject.
• No waiver: our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment: we may assign these Terms to an affiliate or a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets; you may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.
• Language: these Terms are originally written in English. A Portuguese translation is provided for your convenience; where a mandatory local law requires the version in your own language to govern, that version applies to the extent required.
• Headings: section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
