Terms of use

Who we are

Duskwatch is run by Nano-Soft Technology Srl, based in Romania ("we", "us").

Email: hello@duskwatch.app.

These terms and Apple's EULA

By using the app or this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the app.

The app is also licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/). Both apply. Apple is not a party to these terms and is not responsible for the app or its support.

What Duskwatch is

Duskwatch is an unofficial, independent iPhone client for DigitalOcean accounts. It shows the status of your droplets, apps, databases and other resources, your spend and DigitalOcean's status, sends alerts, and offers a few guarded actions.

Duskwatch is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by DigitalOcean. DigitalOcean is a trademark of DigitalOcean, LLC.

Duskwatch uses DigitalOcean's public API with the permissions you approve on DigitalOcean's own page. Your use of DigitalOcean stays under your own agreement with DigitalOcean, and DigitalOcean's terms and prices apply to it. Other product and company names may be trademarks of their owners.

Your DigitalOcean account

Connect only DigitalOcean accounts and teams you are allowed to use. You are responsible for your DigitalOcean account, for keeping your iPhone secure (a passcode, and Face ID or Touch ID where you use them), and for the permissions you approve. You can revoke them on DigitalOcean's side at any time.

Read-only by default, and the actions you confirm

Signing in asks DigitalOcean only for permission to view. Actions, such as powering a droplet on or off or redeploying an app, are part of Duskwatch Pro and need a separate permission that you approve on DigitalOcean's page.

Every action shows a confirmation that names the action, the resource and the team. You arm it with a swipe, then confirm with Face ID or your passcode, and only then does the app send the request to DigitalOcean on your behalf. There are no delete actions. In sample data mode, actions are simulated and nothing is sent.

You are responsible for the actions you confirm and for their results, including downtime and any charges DigitalOcean makes, for example for a snapshot. Please check the resource and the team before you swipe.

Alerts are best effort

Alerts depend on DigitalOcean's API, our alert server, Apple's push service, your network and your iPhone's settings, such as Focus and notification permissions. Any of them can delay or stop an alert, and our server checks your team at intervals, not continuously.

We work to deliver alerts quickly and reliably, but we do not guarantee that every alert arrives, or arrives on time, and we offer no service level or uptime commitment. Do not rely on Duskwatch as your only monitoring for anything critical: keep DigitalOcean's own alerts or another monitoring tool in place.

Duskwatch Pro subscriptions

Duskwatch is free to use read-only. Duskwatch Pro adds actions, push alerts and more than one team. It is an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or yearly, sold by Apple through the App Store. The price is shown in the App Store, in your currency, before you buy.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price for the same period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and the renewal is charged within the 24 hours before that.

New subscribers may get a 7-day free trial. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged. If you buy a subscription during a trial, the rest of the trial ends.

Cancel at any time in iOS Settings > your name > Subscriptions, or in the App Store. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.

Apple handles payment and refunds. To ask for a refund, use reportaproblem.apple.com; we cannot issue refunds ourselves. Your rights as a consumer apply through Apple.

A subscription belongs to your Apple Account. Use "Restore purchases" to use it on another iPhone. Alerts under one subscription work on up to 5 iPhones. When Duskwatch Pro ends, Pro features stop, and alert data is kept as our privacy policy describes.

The waitlist and its survey

Joining the waitlist is free and creates no obligation for you or for us. You can leave at any time with the unsubscribe link in any email. We may remove an entry, for example if it was added by someone who does not own the address.

The waitlist survey asks what you would pay at a given price. These prices are research questions, not offers. Answering does not commit you to anything or reserve a price.

Acceptable use

• Use the app only with accounts and resources you are allowed to manage, and in line with the law and DigitalOcean's terms.
• Do not try to overload, disrupt, probe or break into our alert server, this website or the signup function.
• Do not copy, resell or reverse engineer the app or our server, except where the law allows it, and do not try to get around Pro, its limits or our security.
• Do not use scripts, bots or other automated means to use our server or join the waitlist.
• Sign up for the waitlist only with an email address you own or are allowed to use.

Availability and changes

We may change, add or remove features, for example when DigitalOcean changes its API. We may suspend the alert server for maintenance or to protect it. We do not guarantee that the app, the alert server or this website will always be available or free of errors.

If we stop offering Duskwatch Pro or the alert server, we will tell you in the app or on this website in advance where we can. Refunds for unused periods are handled by Apple under its rules.

Intellectual property

The app, its design, the Duskwatch name and logo, and the text and design of this site belong to Nano-Soft Technology Srl or its licensors. You may link to the site and share it. For any other use, please ask us first.

Limitation of liability

We provide the app, the alert server and this website as they are and as available. We are responsible for providing them with reasonable care and skill, and as described in these terms.

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss caused by DigitalOcean, Apple, your network or your device. This includes lost profits, lost data, downtime and DigitalOcean charges that come from a delayed or missed alert or from an action you confirmed. Our total liability is limited to what you paid for Duskwatch Pro in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for intent or gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer, including the legal guarantee for digital content and services.

Ending your use

You can stop using the app at any time: sign out, cancel your subscription in iOS Settings, delete your alert data from the app, revoke the permissions on DigitalOcean's side and delete the app.

We may suspend or end your access to the alert server if you break these terms, abuse the service or put it at risk. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem. The parts of these terms that by their nature should continue, such as the limitation of liability, continue after your use ends.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Romania. If you are a consumer in the EU, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts there.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date below shows the latest version. If a change materially affects you, we tell you in the app or on this website before it applies. If you keep using the app after a change applies, the new terms apply from then on.
