Terms of Service.

1. Who you're agreeing with

"delayed" is software operated by Yusuf Dede, an individual based in Turkey. "We," "us," and "our" refer to that individual. "You" means the person purchasing or using the software. Reach us at support@delayed.stream.

By installing or using delayed, you accept these terms. If you don't, don't install it.

2. What you're getting

A non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the delayed desktop application on a personal or commercial basis, on one machine at a time per license, for the duration of your subscription (or, for a Lifetime license, indefinitely as described below).

You can move your activation between machines using the deactivate flow inside the app or via your account at polar.sh.

What "Lifetime" means

"Lifetime" refers to the lifetime of the v1 product. You receive all v1.x updates at no additional cost, indefinitely. If we ever release a v2 with a separately priced upgrade, your Lifetime license still entitles you to keep using v1 forever; v2 may require a separate (discounted) purchase. We'll tell you in advance if that ever happens.

3. What you can't do with it

• Sublicense, resell, or redistribute the binary as your own product
• Reverse-engineer or modify the licensing system to bypass activation
• Use a single license simultaneously on multiple machines
• Use the software to relay illegal content (anything you wouldn't be allowed to stream directly to Twitch / YouTube / Kick / TikTok in the first place; that restriction follows the platform's rules, not ours)

4. Subscriptions, billing, and Polar.sh

Payment is handled by Polar.sh as our Merchant of Record. They invoice you, collect VAT where applicable, and process refunds. You can find their terms at polar.sh/legal/terms.

Subscription plans renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel any time via your account at polar.sh; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then.

If a payment fails, we'll retry through Polar's standard retry schedule. If the renewal ultimately fails, your license will be revoked at the end of the current period until payment is restored. The desktop app has a 14-day grace window so transient internet outages don't immediately lock you out.

5. Free trial

The desktop app includes a 30-day free trial that starts automatically on first launch, with no account or payment required. The trial is bound to the hardware identifier of the machine it was first run on and survives reinstalls. After 30 days, a valid license key is required to continue streaming. The 14-day refund policy below applies to all paid plans.

6. Refunds

14 days from purchase, no questions asked, on every plan including Lifetime. Email support@delayed.stream or request through Polar.sh.

After 14 days: Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and will not renew. Yearly subscriptions are non-refundable after 14 days but stay active through the end of the term you paid for. Lifetime is non-refundable after 14 days.

Full policy at /refunds.

7. The software is provided "as is"

delayed is provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We make best-effort claims about the software's behaviour (synced delay, no re-encoding, etc.) and do our best to deliver them, but:

• We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. Bugs, crashes, OS updates, and platform-side changes happen.
• We do not guarantee compatibility with future versions of OBS, Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok, or any third-party tool. Their changes can break our integration without notice.
• We do not guarantee your stream will reach your viewers. That's between you, your ISP, and the destination platforms.
• We are not liable for missed donations, lost subscriptions, sponsorships, contest disqualifications, or other income lost as a consequence of a stream issue. Your stream's reliability depends on many things outside our control; the same is true of any streaming tool.

To the maximum extent permitted by Turkish and applicable law, our total liability for any claim related to this software is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

8. Acceptable use

delayed exists to support legitimate streamers. You agree not to use it for:

• Streaming content that infringes copyright you don't own or licence
• Harassment, doxing, or content that violates the platform's community guidelines
• Bypassing platform-imposed bans or restrictions on other accounts you don't own
• Automated relay of streams you didn't originate (e.g. rebroadcasting other streamers without permission)

Violations may result in license termination without refund.

9. Termination

You can stop using delayed at any time and uninstall it. We can terminate your license for material breach of these terms (including the acceptable-use list above), effective immediately on notice to your registered email. Refund eligibility in that case is at our discretion.

10. Changes to the terms

We may update these terms occasionally. Material changes will be emailed to active subscribers and reflected in the "last updated" date at the top. Continued use after the update constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with a material change, you can request a refund within 14 days of the update notice.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. For disputes that can't be resolved by email, the courts of Istanbul, Turkey shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you're a consumer based in the EU/UK and your national consumer-protection law grants you mandatory protections, those continue to apply regardless of this clause.
