Terms of Service
On this page
Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using Flowroid (“the App”, “the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
These Terms apply alongside Google Play’s Terms of Service and Developer Program Policies. In case of conflict, Google Play’s policies take precedence with respect to app distribution.
Description of the Service
Flowroid is a device automation platform for Android. It lets you create rule-based “flows” that combine triggers (events that start a flow) with actions (tasks the flow performs) and conditions (optional filters). All automation logic runs entirely on your device. Flowroid does not require an account and does not collect or transmit your data to our servers.
Flowroid is available in two tiers:
- Free — core automation features with a limited number of flows.
- Pro — all features unlocked, including advanced triggers, maps-based geofencing, the local API server, and secret variables.
License Grant
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Android devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, adapt, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App;
- Create derivative works based on the App;
- Distribute, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, or lend the App to any third party;
- Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels on the App;
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
In-App Purchases and Subscriptions
Flowroid Pro
Flowroid Pro is an auto-renewing subscription available for purchase through the Google Play Store. By purchasing a subscription you agree to Google Play’s billing terms in addition to these Terms.
Billing
Subscription fees are charged to the Google Play account at the time of purchase and at the start of each renewal period. Prices are displayed in the app before purchase and may vary by region and currency.
Cancellation and refunds
You may cancel a subscription at any time through the Google Play Store; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds are subject to Google Play’s refund policy. We do not process refunds directly.
Subscription status
Subscription status is verified locally using a purchase token from Google Play. We do not operate a server-side entitlement service. If the Play Store is unavailable, the App uses the last verified status cached on device.
Price changes
We reserve the right to change subscription prices. Google Play will notify you of any price change before your next renewal; your continued subscription after that date constitutes acceptance of the new price.
Free trial
New installations may receive a complimentary, time-limited trial of Flowroid Pro, which starts automatically on first launch. The trial requires no payment method and does not automatically convert into a paid subscription. When the trial period ends, Pro features simply revert to the Free tier until you choose to purchase a subscription. One trial is available per device; the trial length is shown in the app.
User Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for the automations you create and their consequences. You must not use Flowroid to:
- Violate any applicable law or regulation;
- Harass, stalk, or harm any person;
- Intercept communications of another person without their consent;
- Access or transmit data you are not authorised to access;
- Conduct or facilitate denial-of-service attacks or other malicious network activity;
- Circumvent security mechanisms of any system;
- Transmit malware, spyware, or any other harmful code.
The embedded HTTP server feature, when enabled, exposes a REST API on your device. You are responsible for securing access to this API and for the actions any client of that API performs.
Intellectual Property
All rights, title, and interest in and to Flowroid, including the software, design, trademarks, and content, are owned by the developer. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you except the limited licence in Section 3.
Flows you create using the App are your own work. You retain full ownership of the automation logic you author.
Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services:
- Google Play Billing — subscription purchases.
- Google Play Services — Location (Geofencing API) — location-based triggers.
- Google Maps SDK for Android — map display in the geofence editor (Pro).
These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of these third parties.
The HTTP Request action allows your automations to communicate with any third-party web service you configure. We are not responsible for the availability, terms, or data practices of those services.
Google Play App Signing
Flowroid is enrolled in Google Play App Signing. By installing the App from Google Play, you acknowledge that:
- Google holds a signing key for the App under the Play App Signing Terms of Service. Google re-signs the App’s APK before delivery to your device.
- The upload key (used to submit the App to Google Play) is separate from the delivery signing key held by Google.
- This arrangement is standard for Play-distributed apps and ensures the integrity of the App you download.
Export Compliance
Scope
This section applies to users in the United States and to any users who export or re-export the App under US law.
Flowroid incorporates encryption technology, specifically:
- AES-256 via the Android Keystore (used for secret variable encryption);
- Standard TLS/HTTPS for outbound HTTP requests.
These cryptographic functions use standard, publicly available algorithms and are implemented entirely through the Android platform APIs. Under US Export Administration Regulations (EAR), this encryption qualifies for License Exception ENC (15 C.F.R. § 740.17) for mass-market consumer software.
By using or distributing the App, you represent and warrant that:
- You are not located in, or a national or resident of, any country subject to a US Government embargo or listed on the US Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals list, including but not limited to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea/Donetsk/Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
- You are not listed on any US Government denied-party list.
- You will not use, export, re-export, or transfer the App in violation of any US export law or regulation.
If you are uncertain about whether your use complies with US export laws, consult the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) at www.bis.doc.gov or seek qualified legal advice.
Disclaimer of Warranties
Disclaimer of warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. Android platform restrictions, device-manufacturer battery-optimisation policies, or changes to Google Play Services may affect the reliability of automations; we cannot guarantee that every trigger will fire or every action will complete on every device.
Certain actions (screen lock, Bluetooth toggle, system settings) require specific device capabilities and permissions. Their availability varies by Android version and device manufacturer. The App discloses known limitations within the relevant flow templates.
Limitation of Liability
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THE DEVELOPER’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS OR RELATED TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $10.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for certain damages. In such jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the developer from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any third-party right, or any automation you create that causes harm to a third party.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to Pro features (by revoking the purchase token) if you materially breach these Terms and fail to cure the breach within 14 days of written notice. You may terminate your use of the App at any time by uninstalling it. Sections 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 16 survive termination.
App Updates
We may issue updates to the App via Google Play to add features, fix bugs, or address security issues. We recommend keeping automatic updates enabled. Some updates may be required to continue using the App. We reserve the right to discontinue support for older versions.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable in the developer’s jurisdiction of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration or the courts of competent jurisdiction in the developer’s location.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you may also have rights under consumer protection law that cannot be excluded by contract.
General Provisions
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
- Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms or any rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely.
- Changes. We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified within the App. Continued use after the effective date of an updated version constitutes acceptance.
