Terms of Use

Agreement

By downloading, installing, or using Remoto (the "App"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App. The App is published by Pantazi Eduard Marius Robert ("we", "us", "our").

These Terms apply in addition to Apple's standard End User License Agreement (EULA), which governs your download of the App from the App Store.

What the App does

Remoto is a software remote control that runs on your iPhone and communicates directly over your local Wi-Fi network with third-party TV devices that implement the Android TV Remote v2 protocol (including devices sold under the Xiaomi Mi Box, Google Chromecast with Google TV, Nvidia Shield, TCL, Hisense, Philips, and Sony brands).

The App is a client-only tool. It does not modify, jailbreak, root, or otherwise alter your TV. It sends standard commands that your TV is designed to accept.

Not affiliated

Remoto is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by Google LLC, Xiaomi Corporation, Nvidia Corporation, TCL Corporation, Hisense Group, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Sony Group Corporation, or any manufacturer of a compatible device. "Android TV" and "Google TV" are trademarks of Google LLC. Other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Their use is for compatibility identification only, in a manner permitted by nominative fair use.

License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.

You may not:

• •Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from the App, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction.
• •Copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App.
• •Sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or transfer the App or your license to it.
• •Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
• •Use the App to build a competing product.
• •Use the App in a way that violates applicable law or the rights of any third party.

In-App Purchases

The App offers a one-time non-consumable In-App Purchase, "Remoto Pro" ("Pro Unlock"), which unlocks additional features described in the App and on this site.

• •All purchases are handled by Apple under the standard EULA and the Apple Media Services Terms. We do not collect payment information.
• •Restoration — because the Pro Unlock is non-consumable, you can restore it for free on any device signed into the same Apple ID, using "Restore Purchases" in Settings.
• •Refunds are issued at Apple's discretion, not ours. To request one, use Apple's Report a Problem page. Where non-waivable statutory rights apply, you retain those rights against the seller of record (Apple).
• •Price changes — pricing may change over time. Any change applies only to new purchases; existing Pro owners keep their unlock for the lifetime of the App.
• •No subscriptions — the Pro Unlock is a one-time purchase, not a recurring subscription. No amount is charged on a recurring basis.

Ownership

The App, including its code, design, name, logo, and all associated intellectual property, is and remains the property of Pantazi Eduard Marius Robert. These Terms do not transfer any ownership to you.

The App incorporates open-source components, each governed by its own license. Notices are included in the App and available on request.

Local network & compatibility

The App requires an iPhone running iOS 16.0 or later, a Wi-Fi network that both your iPhone and your TV are connected to, and a TV device that advertises the _androidtvremote2._tcp mDNS service and accepts pairing.

We do not guarantee that the App will work with every device that meets the above criteria. Manufacturer-specific firmware, network configurations (isolated guest Wi-Fi, Access Point Isolation, strict firewalls, VPN split-tunneling), or regional variants may prevent discovery or pairing. Please test the free tier before purchasing Pro.

Local Network permission

The App requires iOS Local Network permission to discover TVs. If you deny this permission, the App will not function. You can change it at any time in Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Local Network.

Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that:

• •The App will meet your requirements.
• •The App will operate error-free, uninterrupted, or free from security vulnerabilities.
• •Defects will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, in which case the above exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Pantazi Eduard Marius Robert, its owners, employees, or contractors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the App — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or five (5) US dollars, whichever is greater.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pantazi Eduard Marius Robert from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. Your license to use the App terminates automatically if you breach any of these Terms. Upon termination, you must uninstall the App. The License restrictions, Ownership, Disclaimer, Limitation of liability, Indemnification, Governing law, and Miscellaneous sections survive termination.

We may discontinue the App or any of its features at any time. If the App is permanently discontinued and you have an active Pro Unlock, contact us to discuss reasonable options.

Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to any non-waivable statutory consumer rights available to you in your country of residence, the courts of Bucharest, Romania shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence and to rely on mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your local law.

Apple-specific terms

• •These Terms are between you and Pantazi Eduard Marius Robert only, not with Apple.
• •We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
• •Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
• •In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.

Miscellaneous

• •Severability — if any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
• •No waiver — our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
• •Assignment — you may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• •Changes — we may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated in-app or via the App Store update notes.
