It is developed and maintained by Subside Technologies and is available on the Apple App Store.

For refund requests or payment disputes, please contact Apple Support directly, as all transactions are managed by Apple.

6. Third-Party Services

Tubeist is designed to interoperate with third-party streaming platforms and overlay services. Use of these services is entirely at your own discretion and subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

Important: Subside Technologies has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the practices of any third-party service you choose to connect. Always review the privacy policies and terms of the platforms you use.

7. HLS Relay Infrastructure

Subside Technologies does not operate a public relay service and accepts no liability for the availability or conduct of any relay infrastructure you choose to use.

8. Open Source

The source code of Tubeist is publicly available on GitHub and is released under the MIT licence. The MIT licence governs your rights to use, copy, modify, and distribute the source code. These Terms of Service govern your use of the compiled application as distributed through the Apple App Store.

9. No Warranty

Tubeist is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind. Subside Technologies expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

As an application under active development, Tubeist may contain bugs, experience outages, or behave unexpectedly. We do not warrant that the app will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that any defect will be corrected.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Subside Technologies and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, Tubeist — including but not limited to loss of data, loss of revenue, or reputational damage — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall our total aggregate liability to you exceed the amount you paid, if any, for In-App Purchases during the twelve months preceding the claim.

11. Intellectual Property

All content you create and stream using Tubeist remains your property, and you retain full responsibility for ensuring you have the rights to stream it.

12. Changes to the App

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue Tubeist, or any part of it, at any time and without prior notice. We may release updates that change or remove existing functionality. Continued use of the app following any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the modified app.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice — for example, through the app or on our website. Your continued use of Tubeist after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
