Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-04-27

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of TipOff, a push notification gateway operated by GrayM Systems, LLC ("we", "us", "our") at tipoff.dev, app.tipoff.dev, and api.tipoff.dev (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

TipOff lets you send push notifications with actionable buttons from any source and receive user responses back via webhook, polling, server-sent events, or a self-hosted agent. Push delivery to Apple devices is handled via Apple Push Notification service (APNs).

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. If you create an account on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, source keys (sk_*), and device keys (dk_*). You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

3. Plans and billing

TipOff offers a Free plan and a Paid plan. Plan features and limits are described on our Pricing page.

Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring monthly or annual basis. Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited ("Paddle"), who acts as the merchant of record and is responsible for invoicing, payment processing, and the collection and remittance of applicable taxes (including VAT and sales tax). Paddle's terms apply to the payment transaction itself.

Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before renewal. You can cancel at any time from your account or via Paddle's customer portal. Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

Prices may change with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes take effect at your next renewal.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Send unsolicited bulk notifications, spam, or content to recipients who have not consented to receive it.
  • Distribute malware, phishing content, or notifications designed to deceive recipients into divulging credentials or financial information.
  • Send content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, sexually explicit involving minors, or that infringes intellectual property rights.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape at scale, or otherwise interfere with the Service's operation or security.
  • Circumvent rate limits, plan quotas, or other usage controls.
  • Resell, sublicense, or share account access without our prior written consent.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section. For abuse reports, contact abuse@tipoff.dev.

5. Your content

You retain ownership of the notification content, source identifiers, and metadata you send through the Service ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process, transmit, and store Your Content solely as necessary to deliver the Service to you and your recipients.

You represent that you have all rights necessary to send Your Content and that doing so does not violate any law or third-party right.

6. Our intellectual property

The TipOff name, logo, and the closed-source portions of the Service are owned by GrayM Systems, LLC. The TipOff server and agent source code are released under the Apache License 2.0 and are subject to that license rather than these Terms.

7. Service availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We do not offer a contractual uptime SLA at this time. We may perform maintenance, suspend the Service for security reasons, or discontinue features with reasonable notice.

8. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or if continued service would expose us to legal or operational risk. On termination, your access ends and we may delete account data subject to the retention periods in our Privacy Policy.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT NOTIFICATIONS WILL BE DELIVERED, DELIVERED ON TIME, OR FREE OF ERRORS.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (c) your breach of any third-party right.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will notify you by email or through the Service at least 30 days before it takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising under these Terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Wake County, North Carolina, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.
