Terms of Service

Last updated: 1 August 2026.

1. Who these terms are between

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the website at moulticast.net and www.moulticast.net, and of the applications hosted on moulticast.net subdomains (together, the “Services”).

The Services are operated by Moulticast, the operator of AS213376 (“we”, “us”), an IPv6-only network run for research and education purposes.

By using the Services, or by signing in to any of them, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

2. The Services are provided free of charge

The Services are a non-commercial research and education project. They are offered free of charge, on a best-effort basis, with no service level agreement, no guaranteed availability, and no guarantee that data you store will be retained.

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. Where we discontinue a service that holds your data, we will make a reasonable effort to give advance notice so that you can export it.

3. Eligibility

To hold an account you must be capable of judgement, as Swiss law understands that term, and able to enter into these Terms. If you are a minor, you also need your legal representative’s consent unless you are capable of judgement and the account falls within what you may decide for yourself.

You must in any event meet the minimum age required by the authentication provider you sign in with, which for the providers we support is generally 13, or higher in some countries.

If you use the Services on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf.

4. Accounts and third-party sign-in

Some applications require an account. We do not issue passwords; instead you sign in using an existing account with a third-party authentication provider, such as Google, GitHub, or Discord.

You should understand that:

• Your use of the provider’s own service is governed by that provider’s terms and privacy policy, not by these Terms. We are not a party to that relationship and do not control it.
• We receive only the limited profile data described in our Privacy Notice. We never receive your password.
• If you lose access to the provider account you signed in with, or the provider suspends or deletes it, you may lose access to your account with us. We may not be able to restore it.
• If a provider changes or withdraws its authentication service, we may have to discontinue that sign-in method.
• You are responsible for keeping your provider account secure, and for activity carried out through your account with us. Please tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

You may not share your account, use another person’s account, or create an account by automated means.

5. Acceptable use

When using the Services, you must not:

• break any applicable law, or infringe anyone else’s rights, including intellectual property and privacy rights;
• upload or distribute malware, or content that is unlawful, defamatory, or harassing;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Services, other users’ accounts, or any connected system or network;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services without our prior written permission, or circumvent any security or authentication measure;
• interfere with or disrupt the Services, including by denial-of-service attacks, or by placing an unreasonable load on them;
• use the Services to send unsolicited bulk messages, or as infrastructure for spam, phishing, or command-and-control;
• scrape or harvest data, or make automated requests, beyond what any published rate limit or API documentation permits;
• misrepresent your identity, your affiliation, or the origin of traffic you send; or
• resell or commercially exploit the Services.

Because we operate a network, abuse has consequences beyond a single account. Suspected abuse can be reported to abuse (at) moulticast -dot- net.

6. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you submit to the Services. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, back up, reproduce, and display that content strictly to the extent needed to operate and maintain the Services for you. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained in backups until they age out, as described in the Privacy Notice.

You are responsible for your content and confirm you have the rights necessary to submit it. We do not routinely monitor content, but we may remove content that breaches these Terms or the law.

7. Our content

The Services, and the software, text, and design we provide, remain ours or our licensors’. Where a component is published under an open source licence, that licence governs it and prevails over this section.

8. Third-party platform requirements

Where we integrate with third-party authentication providers, we comply with their developer terms and policies.

In particular, our use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

We request the narrowest permission scopes our applications need, we do not use data obtained through these integrations for advertising, and we do not sell it. Our use of GitHub’s and Discord’s APIs is likewise subject to their respective developer terms and policies.

9. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access, with notice where reasonably possible and immediately where necessary, if you breach these Terms, if your use threatens the security, stability, or lawful operation of the Services, or if we are required to do so by law.

Sections 6 (as to responsibility for content), 7, 10, 11, 12, and 14 survive termination.

10. No warranty

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that data will not be lost.

Nothing in this section limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded under the law applicable to you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, nor for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services.

Given that the Services are supplied free of charge, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms is limited to CHF 100.

These limits do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or to any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, your mandatory statutory rights are unaffected.

12. Indemnity

If you use the Services in breach of these Terms or of the law, and a third party brings a claim against us as a result, you agree to indemnify us against that claim and the reasonable costs of defending it. This does not apply to the extent the claim arises from our own breach or negligence.

13. Privacy

Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Notice, which forms part of these Terms.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

The ordinary courts at our registered seat have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of these Terms. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, the EEA, or the United Kingdom, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence, nor of the right to bring proceedings in the courts there.

15. General

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in force, and the invalid provision is replaced by a valid one that most closely reflects its intent.

Our not enforcing a provision on one occasion is not a waiver of it. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Notice, are the entire agreement between us regarding the Services.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Services change. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the current version. Where a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will give notice by a more direct means than a silent edit — for example, a notice in the application or an email — before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
