Terms of Use

1. Agreement

OctoCrux is provided by 0xBuooy Pte. Ltd. (“OctoCrux”, “we”, “us”), a company incorporated in Singapore (UEN 202244810D). By downloading, accessing, or using OctoCrux you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

2. The service

OctoCrux is a local-first RSS reader that helps you triage Articles from your Feeds and generate Summaries on demand. Summaries are generated by a Summariser service — either our official Hosted Service or a service you host yourself — and may contain mistakes, omissions, or inaccuracies. You are responsible for verifying important information against the original Article.

3. Summaries and your Summary balance

Summaries generated through the Hosted Service draw down your Summary balance. Balance is managed as a virtual currency through RevenueCat: new installs receive a one-time grant, and paid options top it up. Having a Summary balance is the only thing that gates Summarising on the Hosted Service.

• Summary balance has no monetary value, is non-transferable, and is non-refundable except as required by law or Apple’s policies.
• If a Summary cannot be generated for an Article, no balance is consumed for that Article (a Batch that fails stores nothing and spends nothing for that Batch).
• If you point OctoCrux at your own Service URL, Summaries are unmetered and your Summary balance is not used.

4. Subscriptions and purchases

Paid options are sold as in-app purchases billed through your Apple ID. Any subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in accordance with Apple’s subscription terms. You can manage or cancel purchases in your Apple account settings, and restore purchases from OctoCrux Settings. Prices and the amount of Summary balance granted are shown at the point of purchase in the app.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use OctoCrux or the Hosted Service to:

• violate any applicable law or regulation;
• infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any person;
• attack, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any service or system;
• bypass access controls, authentication, or usage limits; or
• process content you are not permitted to access or use.

6. Self-hosting and the contract

You may run your own Summariser service and configure OctoCrux to use it. A Service URL you configure is yours; OctoCrux will not silently redirect a Service URL you have set. When you use your own service, these Terms still govern your use of the app, but we are not responsible for your service or the Summaries it produces.

7. Third-party content

Feeds and Articles come from third-party publishers. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for that content. Articles opened in the Reader are subject to the originating website’s own terms and privacy practices.

8. Intellectual property

OctoCrux, its name, and its branding are owned by 0xBuooy Pte. Ltd.. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for personal use, subject to the App Store Terms of Service. The Summariser service and MCP bridge source code are published under their own open-source licence in the repository.

9. Availability and changes

The Hosted Service may be unavailable, delayed, modified, or discontinued at any time. We may update OctoCrux, including over-the-air changes to the request contract and the default Service URL, but such updates will never redirect a Service URL you have configured.

10. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, OctoCrux and the Hosted Service are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that Summaries are accurate, complete, or fit for any decision you make based on them.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, 0xBuooy Pte. Ltd. will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of OctoCrux. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to OctoCrux will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the app in the twelve months before the claim, or SGD 100. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under Singapore law.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Hosted Service if you breach these Terms or use the service in a way that risks harm to it or others. You may stop using OctoCrux at any time by uninstalling it.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore for any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of OctoCrux.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Last updated” date on this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
