Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the UnderRose mobile applications and the website underrose.net (the “Services”), operated by X Software Development USA, LLC (DBA XSD Company) (“we”, “us”, or “our”).
By downloading, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. The Services
UnderRose is a private messaging and calling application for people you choose to add as contacts. Features may include voice and video calls, encrypted text chat, contact management (including QR-based add flows), and related settings. Some features may be in beta or change over time.
The Services are designed so conversation content stays between devices when possible. A relay may be used to help devices find each other and exchange setup data. See our Privacy Policy for more detail.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum digital consent age in your country, if higher) to use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
3. Your responsibilities
- Keep your device and OS up to date and secured (passcode / biometrics recommended)
- Only add contacts you are authorized to contact
- Comply with applicable laws where you use the Services
- Do not attempt to probe, disrupt, or abuse the relay, apps, or other users
- Do not use UnderRose for harassment, fraud, malware distribution, exploitation of minors, or other unlawful activity
4. No emergency services
UnderRose is not a replacement for emergency services. It may be unavailable during outages, network restrictions, or product issues. In an emergency, use your phone’s normal dialer and local emergency numbers.
5. Optional tips and purchases
UnderRose may offer optional tips or similar in-app purchases processed by Apple or Google. Tips are voluntary and do not unlock core messaging, calling, or privacy features. Purchases are subject to the App Store or Google Play terms. Refund requests are handled under Apple’s or Google’s policies unless otherwise required by law.
6. Intellectual property
The Services, including branding, software, and site content (other than your own messages and media), are owned by us or our licensors. You receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use the apps and site for personal or internal business communication in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, reverse engineer (except where prohibited restrictions are not allowed by law), or redistribute the Services.
7. Third-party services
The Services may rely on platform features (iOS, Android, App Store, Google Play) and infrastructure providers. Those third parties have their own terms and privacy practices.
8. Beta and “as is” availability
During beta and early release, features may be incomplete, change, or fail. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, successful connection in every network environment, or resistance to every form of blocking or censorship. We work to improve reliability and resilience, but outcomes depend on networks and conditions outside our control.
9. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (EXCLUDING AMOUNTS PAID TO APPLE OR GOOGLE AS PLATFORM FEES WHERE WE DO NOT RECEIVE THEM), OR (B) USD $50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11. Indemnity
You agree to defend and indemnify us against claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your misuse of the Services or violation of these Terms or applicable law.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Services at any time (including by uninstalling the apps). We may suspend or stop providing the Services or access to the relay if needed for security, abuse, legal compliance, or operational reasons. Provisions that by nature should survive will survive termination.
13. Changes to the Services or Terms
We may modify the Services and these Terms. We will post updated Terms on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, except where additional consent is required by law.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict of law rules, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence apply and cannot be waived.
