Terms of use
These terms are an agreement between you and Mehmet Erturk, trading as Drover (“Drover,” “we,” “us”), covering newdrover.com, beta communications, the Drover iPhone app, Drover Host, and related services.
1. Accepting these terms
By joining the beta, installing, accessing, or using Drover, you agree to these terms and the privacy policy. If you use Drover for an organization, you represent that you can bind it. You must be at least 16 and legally able to enter this agreement.
2. The service
Drover has one app: the native iPhone control surface for coding agents running through compatible Herdr software. macOS and Linux run only the standalone per-user Drover Host daemon. There is no macOS or iPadOS app, and neither is planned. Drover does not provide a hosted repository, cloud agent runtime, or guaranteed remote terminal.
You are responsible for the host, Herdr installation, agents, repositories, credentials, network, backups, and actions taken through your paired devices. Keep the verified hostname visible and inspect authoritative session state before sending consequential input.
3. License and beta access
Subject to these terms, Drover grants you a limited, personal or internal-business, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the software for its intended purpose during its availability. You may not sell, sublicense, rent, reverse engineer except where law permits, bypass entitlement or security controls, or use Drover to violate rights or law.
Beta access may be limited, changed, suspended, or ended. Beta software may contain defects, lose local beta data, or be incompatible with later versions. Keep independent backups and do not rely on Drover as your only route to a host or agent.
4. Safe and acceptable use
You must not use Drover to access a machine, repository, account, or agent without authorization; distribute malware; disrupt services; probe other users or infrastructure; evade rate or entitlement controls; expose secrets through support; or cause Drover to execute illegal or harmful activity.
Do not treat a notification, cached screen, or ambiguous terminal line as proof that an action is safe. If connection or delivery is uncertain, return to authoritative host state before repeating a command.
5. Subscriptions and billing
Same-local-network use is intended to remain free. At App Store launch, Pro is planned to provide off-network connectivity and push at $6.99 per week, $19.99 per month, or $149 per year, with no free trial. The full annual billed amount is $149. Localized App Store prices, taxes, and currency may differ.
Subscriptions are purchased through Apple, automatically renew unless cancelled through your Apple account at least as required by Apple, and are governed by the terms shown in the purchase flow. Apple handles billing, cancellation, and eligible refunds. TestFlight purchases are sandboxed and do not create a paid production service.
These terms supplement Apple’s applicable licensed-application terms. Mandatory App Store terms control where they cannot be varied.
6. Third-party services and software
Drover depends on services or software including Herdr, Apple/TestFlight/App Store/APNs, Cloudflare, RevenueCat, and Google Sheets for the beta list. Their availability and separate terms may affect Drover. Herdr and other open-source components remain governed by their own licenses. Drover does not control third-party outages or policy changes.
7. Your content and feedback
You retain rights in your repositories, prompts, terminal content, and other materials. You authorize Drover to process them only as needed to provide the paired control session. You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed for that content.
If you voluntarily provide product feedback, you grant Drover a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use it without obligation, provided we do not identify you publicly without permission.
8. Intellectual property
Drover, its software, selected app icon, site design, documentation, and related marks are owned by Drover or its licensors, excluding your content and separately licensed third-party components. No rights are granted except the limited license above.
9. Availability and changes
We may change, pause, or discontinue features for security, compatibility, legal, operational, or product reasons. We do not promise uninterrupted remote connectivity, support for every network, permanent compatibility with every Herdr version or agent adapter, or a specific beta or launch date.
10. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Drover and beta services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, or error-free operation. Drover can transmit commands capable of changing files and processes. You remain responsible for review, access control, backups, and recovery.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Drover will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; lost profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption; or unauthorized actions caused by your device, host, credentials, agents, or third-party services. Drover’s total liability arising from the service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid Drover through the App Store during the 12 months before the claim or USD 50.
These exclusions do not apply where prohibited, including liability that cannot lawfully be limited or mandatory consumer rights.
12. Suspension and termination
You may stop using Drover and cancel a subscription through Apple. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach, abuse, security risk, legal requirement, or discontinuation. Provisions that by nature should survive—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute terms—continue after termination.
13. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts in Istanbul have jurisdiction, except that mandatory consumer protections and venues in your country remain available where law requires them.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as Drover evolves. Material changes will be posted with a new effective date and, when appropriate, communicated through the app or beta updates. Continued use after the effective date means acceptance where permitted by law.
