By accessing or using ScreenBox ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

ScreenBox is a digital signage management platform that allows users to remotely manage content on display devices. The Service includes a web dashboard, API, Android application, web player, and related tools.

Hosted subscriptions are billed per screen at $5 per screen per month. The plan includes every feature, with no device or storage tiers.
Hosted subscriptions have a 24-month minimum commitment.
A one-time hardware fee of $100 per device applies to devices billed on a hosted subscription.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current commitment period. Access continues until then.
Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis within 30 days of purchase.
We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days notice to existing subscribers.

You agree not to:

Use the Service for any illegal purpose or to display illegal content
Upload malware, viruses, or harmful code
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts or devices
Circumvent device limits, trial restrictions, or other usage controls
Resell the Service without a reseller agreement
Use the Service to send unsolicited advertising or spam
Overload the Service infrastructure through automated or abusive means

5.1 Prohibited Content - Zero Tolerance

ScreenBox maintains zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Any account found to upload, display, transmit, or facilitate the distribution of such material will be immediately terminated and reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and appropriate law enforcement agencies, as required under 18 U.S.C. 2258A.

All account data, upload records, IP logs, and device telemetry associated with such violations will be preserved and provided to law enforcement pursuant to lawful requests. This policy applies to all content uploaded, displayed, or transmitted through the Service, including content on connected devices, in the web player, and through the API.

6. Content

You retain ownership of content you upload to the Service.
You grant us a limited license to store, transmit, and display your content as necessary to provide the Service.
You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the rights to display any content you upload.
We may remove content that violates these terms or applicable law.

7. Device Management

You are responsible for devices you connect to the Service.
The Service collects device telemetry (battery, storage, network status) for monitoring purposes.
Remote control features should only be used on devices you own or have authorization to manage.

8. Self-Hosted Deployments

If you deploy ScreenBox on your own infrastructure:

You are responsible for server security, backups, and maintenance.
We provide the software as-is without managed hosting guarantees.
License terms still apply to self-hosted deployments.

9. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

10. Service Availability

We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service.
We may perform maintenance with reasonable notice when possible.
We are not liable for damages resulting from service interruptions.

11. Intellectual Property

The ScreenBox software, dashboard, APIs, and documentation are our intellectual property. Your subscription grants you a license to use the Service, not ownership of the software.

ScreenBox incorporates open-source software components licensed under MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses. A complete list of third-party software and their licenses is available at our Third-Party Software Notices page.

12. Restrictions

The core ScreenBox software is open-source and available at github.com/moayead2009/screenbox under the MIT License. The restrictions in this section apply only to the hosted Service at screen-box.com and to proprietary components that are not published under the MIT License, including the billing infrastructure and internal deployment tooling.

In connection with your use of the hosted Service and those proprietary components, you agree not to, and will not permit others to:

Circumvent, bypass, disable, tamper with, or forge any authentication or usage-tracking mechanisms
Share, transfer, or assign your account credentials or API tokens to unauthorized parties
Overload, attack, or otherwise abuse the hosted platform or its infrastructure
Scrape, crawl, or programmatically extract data from the hosted Service beyond the provided API and documented rate limits
Operate the hosted Service beyond the scope of your current subscription plan
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of proprietary components not published under the MIT License

Violation of these restrictions may result in immediate termination of your account and may subject you to legal action. Nothing in this section limits, modifies, or overrides any rights granted to you by the MIT License covering the open-source portion of ScreenBox, which governs that code exclusively.

13. Self-Hosted Deployments and Licensing

ScreenBox is open-source software released under the MIT License. Self-hosted deployments do not require a license key, activation, or approval from us, and every feature is available when you run ScreenBox on your own infrastructure. The sections of these Terms that govern the hosted Service at screen-box.com - including accounts, subscriptions, and billing - do not apply to self-hosted instances; your use of the software itself is governed by the MIT License.

14. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time from the Settings page.
We may terminate accounts that violate these terms with or without notice.
Upon termination, your content will be deleted after 30 days.

15. Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

16. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the courts located in the Province of Ontario, Canada, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Users accessing the Service from outside Canada acknowledge that the Service is operated from Canada and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

If any provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
