These terms cover the Credenza apps — for Android, Android TV, Fire TV, iPhone and Roku — the
Credenza server you download from this website, this website, credenza.tv, Credenza
accounts at app.credenza.tv and the service behind them at api.credenza.tv, and Remote
access, the optional relay at on.credenza.tv. Together they are “Credenza” below. Credenza is
made by Erich Grosner, and “we” and “us” mean him. By installing or using any part of it you agree
to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use it.
The short version
Credenza is software you run yourself. You decide what goes on your server, and you are responsible for having the right to it. We provide Credenza as it is, during a beta, with no promise that it will work for any particular purpose, and our responsibility to you is limited to the extent the law allows. How we handle personal data is in the privacy policy.
What Credenza is
Credenza is a self-hosted media server. You run the server, on your own hardware or hosting, and point it at media you hold. The apps are windows onto a server: each shows whatever the server whose address you entered sends it, and contains no content of its own. We do not host, provide, sell, review or index anything anybody watches with Credenza, and we cannot see it.
Your content
You are responsible for everything you add to a server you run, and for what you let other people reach through it. Use Credenza only with media you own or have the right to play, copy and share in the way you use it. Do not use Credenza to infringe anybody’s copyright or other rights, or to break any law that applies to you.
If you connect to somebody else’s Credenza server, that server’s operator is responsible for what it holds and for the accounts on it. We are not a party to any arrangement between you and them.
Credenza accounts
A Credenza account is optional. If you make one, keep its password to yourself, give us an email
address that is yours, and tell us at hello@credenza.tv if you think
somebody else has used it. You must be at least 13 years old to have one. You can delete your
account at any time from app.credenza.tv.
Remote access
Remote access is optional and is turned on by a server’s operator. It passes encrypted connections
between that server and the people using it through a relay we run, and gives the server an address
ending in on.credenza.tv. Its operator must not use it to make content available to the public, to
distribute anything they do not have the right to distribute, to attack or overload anything, or in
any way that interferes with the relay or other people’s use of it. We set limits on how much each
server may use, and we may change them.
Acceptable use
Do not use Credenza, our website or our services to break the law; to attempt to reach accounts, servers or systems you are not allowed to reach; to disrupt or overload our services; or to get around any limit we set on them. We may suspend or end a Credenza account, or a server’s use of Remote access, that breaks these terms, and where we can we will tell you why.
Prices and the beta
Credenza is in beta. The server is free to run. The apps are free during the beta, and some may later offer paid features; anything that costs money will say so, and its price, before you pay. Paying through an app store is also governed by that store’s terms.
Things we do not promise
Credenza is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we give no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including that it will be fit for a particular purpose, uninterrupted, secure or free of errors, or that it will not lose data. Keep your own backups of anything you care about. We may change, suspend or stop any part of Credenza, including Credenza accounts and Remote access, at any time.
Limits on our responsibility
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or revenue, arising from your use of Credenza or your inability to use it. Where we cannot exclude liability, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for Credenza in the twelve months before the claim and US $50. Nothing in these terms limits a right you have under a law that does not allow it to be limited.
Other people’s services
Credenza works with services we do not run — TMDB, ScreenScraper and IGDB for details and artwork, Radarr and Sonarr, Google for signing in, and the app stores. Your use of each is governed by its own terms, and we are not responsible for them. Credenza is not affiliated with Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, TMDB, ScreenScraper, IGDB or Roku.
Changes
If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them, and continuing to use Credenza after that means you accept the new terms. This page, at credenza.tv/terms, is always the current version.
The law that applies
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States, except where the law of the place you live says otherwise.
