Terms of Service
These terms are a contract between you and Beamaroo ("Beamaroo", "we", "us") for use of the Beamaroo service at beamaroo.com. By using the service you accept them. They're written to be read, not skimmed — they're short.
1. What the service is
Beamaroo lets you send files directly between two devices using a one-time code. Files travel peer-to-peer with end-to-end encryption (via an encrypted relay when a direct path isn't available). We never receive, store, or view the contents of what you send. Both devices must be online together for a transfer to occur.
2. Your content, your responsibility
- You must have the right to send what you send, and the legal right to share it with the person receiving it.
- You must not use Beamaroo to transfer material that is illegal to possess or distribute, that infringes someone else's rights, or in connection with unlawful activity.
- A pairing code is like a key: anyone who has it while it's live can receive your transfer. Share codes only with your intended recipient. Beamaroo is not responsible for transfers completed with a code you shared.
- Receivers decide whether to accept a transfer. Accept files only from people you trust — Beamaroo cannot scan transfers for malware, because we cannot see them.
3. Fair use and abuse
We may rate-limit, interrupt, or block use that degrades the service for others, that we reasonably believe is unlawful, or that abuses the relay infrastructure. Because we cannot inspect transfer contents, enforcement is based on technical signals (volume, connection behaviour), not content.
4. The free service and changes
The current service is provided free. We may change, limit, suspend, or discontinue features, and may introduce paid plans. If we introduce paid plans, additional terms (pricing, billing, refunds) will be presented at sign-up and will form part of these terms for subscribers. Billing terms (pricing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds consistent with the Australian Consumer Law) will be added to this page when paid plans launch.
5. Service quality — the honest version
We work hard to keep Beamaroo available and reliable, but a peer-to-peer transfer also depends on your devices, browsers, and networks — things outside our control. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is" and we exclude implied warranties. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee or right you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot be excluded. Where liability can lawfully be limited, our total liability is limited, at our election, to resupplying the service or paying the cost of resupply, and (for any subscriber) to the amounts paid by you in the previous 12 months.
6. Verified delivery
"Delivered ✔" indicates the receiving device confirmed a file's integrity check. It is a technical confirmation between devices, not a legal delivery receipt, and should not be relied on as one for contractual or court purposes.
7. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains the small amount of information we handle and forms part of these terms.
8. Intellectual property
Beamaroo's software, brand, boomerang mark, and site content are ours or our licensors'. Your files remain entirely yours — we take no licence over anything you transfer (we couldn't use it anyway; we never have it).
9. Ending use
You can stop using Beamaroo at any time — with no account, there's nothing to close. We may refuse service where reasonably necessary to protect the service, other users, or to comply with law.
10. General
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and the courts of Queensland have jurisdiction. If part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. We'll post changes on this page with a new effective date; continued use after a change is acceptance of it.
