Terms of service

These terms are an agreement between you and [Company name] (“LineFerry”, “we”) about using the LineFerry iPhone app, the LineFerry gateway software and our website. By using them, you agree to these terms.

What LineFerry is

LineFerry lets an Android phone that holds your SIM (the “gateway”) relay that SIM’s calls and texts to your iPhone. Calls and texts are still carried and billed by your mobile carrier on your own plan. We are not a mobile carrier and do not provide phone numbers.

Early access

LineFerry is in early access. Features may change, break or be removed, and the service is provided “as is”. Some features described on our website, such as calls from anywhere, are not available yet.

Not for emergency calls

Do not rely on LineFerry to make or receive emergency calls. Calls depend on your gateway phone, its power, your network and Apple’s services, any of which can fail. Call emergency services from a phone with its own working mobile connection.

Your responsibilities

• You must own the SIM and the phones you use, or be authorised to use them.
• You are responsible for complying with the laws and carrier terms that apply to you, including rules on registering mobile devices and on relaying calls.
• Rooting the gateway phone is your choice and at your own risk. It can void warranties, wipe data and stop some apps from working.
• Keep the gateway’s pairing code to yourself, and remove iPhones you no longer use in the gateway app.

Acceptable use

You may use LineFerry only for your own lines and your own calls. You must not:

• use LineFerry as a commercial GSM gateway or “SIM box”, or to route other people’s traffic;
• use it for spam, robocalls, fraud or harassment;
• use it to get around laws, lawful interception or carrier restrictions;
• reverse engineer, resell or attack the service, except where the law allows.

We may suspend accounts that break these rules.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions are sold through Apple’s App Store and renew automatically until you cancel in your App Store settings. Prices, including any founding-member discount, are shown before you subscribe. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies.

Your data

Our privacy policy explains what we collect and how we use it.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for missed calls or texts, carrier charges, loss of data, or indirect losses, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be excluded.

Ending these terms

You can stop using LineFerry at any time. We may end or suspend the service with reasonable notice, or immediately if you break these terms.

Changes

We may update these terms. We’ll post changes here and, for significant ones, tell you in advance.
