Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 20, 2026

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Cranix websites, apps, downloads, beta builds, support channels, accounts, game tools, or related services, you agree to these terms.

Cranix is an independent software project operated by Ciaran Moore. Cranix is not currently a registered limited company. In these terms, “Cranix”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the Cranix project and its operator.

1. Project Status

Cranix is an independent project in active development. Some products are experimental, in development, in closed beta, or provided for testing. Features may change, break, be renamed, be paused, or be discontinued at any time.

Cranix currently focuses on Cranix One, Cranix Player, Cranix Notes, Cranix Scout, and future Cranix Core services. Older pages, experiments, community tools, or test projects may exist, but they should not be treated as guaranteed long-term products unless Cranix clearly says so.

2. Eligibility and Responsibility

• You must be at least 13 years old to create a Cranix account or use Cranix communication features, or older if the law where you live requires a higher minimum age. Cranix is not directed at children under 13.
• You must follow the rules of any third-party platform you use with Cranix, including GitHub, Riot Games, Microsoft, supported media providers, and any other supported platform, game, media, or service.
• If you are under the age required to use a relevant platform or service, you must have permission from a parent or guardian.
• You are responsible for activity on your own accounts, devices, game accounts, communication accounts, media provider accounts, Cranix account, and any Cranix-related saved settings or linked accounts.
• You are responsible for keeping your devices, passwords, access tokens, and accounts secure.

3. Acceptable Use

You must not use Cranix to:

• break the law, harass others, threaten others, spam, scam, impersonate people, or distribute harmful content;
• share illegal, abusive, hateful, exploitative, or malicious content;
• cheat in games, bypass access controls, abuse APIs, scrape unlawfully, exploit bugs, or disrupt services;
• upload, share, stream, or distribute content you do not have the right to use;
• reverse engineer, attack, overload, interfere with, or attempt to compromise Cranix systems, servers, websites, apps, accounts, update services, or downloads;
• misrepresent Cranix as affiliated with a third-party platform unless Cranix clearly says that affiliation exists.

4. Accounts, Saved Data, and Public Sharing

• A single Cranix account (provided by Cranix Core) is used to sign in across Cranix apps. You must provide accurate information, keep your login details secure, and you are responsible for activity under your account.
• You may protect your account with two-factor authentication. If you turn it on, keep your backup codes safe — losing both your password and your backup codes may leave your account unrecoverable.
• Some Cranix products may allow accounts, saved settings, linked game accounts, favourite profiles, public reports, dashboards, dens, channels, messages, or community records.
• You are responsible for making sure you have the right to save, link, view, publish, or share any account, profile, message, attachment, report, or content.
• Public links, public reports, public profiles, or shared content may be visible to anyone with access to the link or location until they are deleted, expired, hidden, or disabled.
• Cranix may remove content, restrict accounts, or disable access where needed for safety, security, abuse prevention, or rule enforcement.

5. Cranix One Terms

• Development status: Cranix One is currently in closed beta and may contain bugs, outages, missing features, unfinished moderation tools, or data loss risks.
• Communication rules: you may not use Cranix One for illegal activity, harassment, hate speech, abuse, spam, scams, malware, threats, or harmful content.
• Messages and attachments: you are responsible for the content you send, upload, stream, or share through Cranix One.
• Voice, video, and screen sharing: you must not record, stream, or share private conversations, screens, or content unless you have the right to do so and the required permission from others involved.
• Encryption: direct messages (and some small private conversations) can be end-to-end encrypted at your option. When encryption is on, Cranix cannot read that content. The encryption is protected by your password and a one-time recovery code; if you lose both, encrypted history cannot be recovered by anyone, including Cranix.
• Reporting and moderation: you can report messages to moderators. When you report an encrypted message, your app shares that message’s content with the moderators so it can be reviewed — this is the only way encrypted content is shared, and it happens because you chose to report it. Cranix may act on reports, including removing content and suspending accounts.
• Den hosting: Cranix One dens run on servers operated by Cranix today, and may be run by community hosts in future. Whoever operates the server a den runs on may be able to see non-encrypted content and metadata needed to run it.
• Beta testing: access can be limited, changed, paused, or removed during testing. Features may not be stable or permanent.

6. Cranix Player Terms

• Service purpose: Cranix Player is a desktop media application focused on playing and organising media you already own on your device. Any streaming-provider integrations are secondary and, where offered, use each provider’s official interfaces.
• Local media: you are responsible for making sure you have the right to open, play, organise, or use any local media files through Cranix Player. Cranix does not host, supply, or distribute media content.
• Provider integrations: Cranix Player may support integrations with third-party music or video providers over time. Those integrations depend on provider availability, provider rules, technical access, account status, and service changes.
• Affiliation: Cranix Player is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to any third-party media provider unless Cranix clearly states otherwise.
• Third-party provider terms: when using Cranix Player with a supported provider, you are responsible for following that provider’s terms, copyright policies, account rules, and technical restrictions.
• No content ownership: Cranix Player does not give you ownership of third-party music, videos, artwork, metadata, playlists, albums, channels, or other protected content.
• Copyright: you may not use Cranix Player to infringe copyright, bypass access controls, redistribute protected content, or copy content where you do not have the legal right to do so.
• Availability: Cranix Player depends on local device compatibility, release hosting, and any third-party media providers you choose to connect. Features may change, pause, or stop working if those services change, restrict access, or become unavailable.

7. Cranix Notes Terms

• Cranix Notes is designed as an offline-first notes app, but early builds may contain bugs, missing features, or data loss risks.
• You are responsible for backing up important notes, notebooks, widgets, attachments, and local files.
• If cloud sync or account sync is introduced later, additional terms or privacy information may apply.
• You must not store or share unlawful, harmful, infringing, or abusive content using Cranix Notes.

8. Cranix Scout Terms

• Service purpose: Cranix Scout is a game statistics, live-game information, and player insight tool. League of Legends is the first supported game, but Cranix Scout may support additional games over time.
• No guarantee: stats, rankings, live-game information, match history, recommendations, scores, and analysis may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, unavailable, or affected by third-party service changes.
• Third-party data: Cranix Scout relies on Riot Games and may rely on other game data providers. It is used under those providers’ terms, which can change or be withdrawn at any time; access may be limited or stop as a result. Cranix Scout is not endorsed by or affiliated with Riot Games. Cranix Scout aims to stay within Riot’s developer policies, which includes offering a free tier and not providing in-game advantages or prohibited features.
• Fair use: you must not use Cranix Scout to harass players, dox users, automate abuse, overload services, or misuse public game information.
• Public reports: shared reports may be visible to anyone with the link. Do not share reports if you do not want the information to be public.

9. Cranix Core and Platform Terms

• Cranix Core is the shared platform layer for Cranix. It provides your Cranix account and sign-in across apps, two-factor authentication, email verification, account and session management, update delivery, and cross-product services.
• You must provide accurate account information and keep your login details secure.
• Cranix may suspend, restrict, or remove accounts used for abuse, security attacks, spam, harassment, illegal activity, or violations of these terms. Because one account is used across all Cranix apps, a suspension may block access to the whole Cranix ecosystem.
• Future paid features, account features, support tools, or update services may have additional terms shown at the time they are introduced.

10. User Content

• You keep ownership of content you create, but you give Cranix permission to process, store, transmit, display, or use that content where needed to provide the service or feature you are using.
• You must only upload, share, or publish content you have the right to use.
• Cranix may remove or restrict content where it appears to break these terms, third-party rules, platform policies, or applicable law.

11. Third-Party Services

Cranix may rely on third-party services for hosting, downloads, updates, music, game data, authentication, support, and infrastructure. These may include services such as Cloudflare, GitHub, Riot Games, Microsoft, supported media providers, and other providers used by Cranix products.

Cranix is not responsible for third-party services, content, outages, policy changes, account restrictions, API changes, data loss, or platform decisions outside Cranix control.

12. Payments and Paid Features

Most Cranix services are currently experimental, in development, or free to access unless clearly stated otherwise. If paid features, subscriptions, donations, supporter perks, hosting, or commercial services are introduced, the price, renewal terms, refund position, and any extra conditions should be shown before purchase.

13. Updates, Downloads, and Installers

• Cranix apps may receive updates through GitHub releases, the Cranix website, or future Cranix update services.
• You are responsible for downloading Cranix apps from official or trusted Cranix links.
• Beta builds, unsigned builds, test installers, and early releases may trigger operating system warnings or behave unexpectedly.
• You should not redistribute modified Cranix installers or pretend unofficial builds are official Cranix releases.

14. Suspension and Termination

Cranix may restrict, suspend, block, remove, or terminate access to Cranix products, accounts, downloads, support spaces, or community features if we believe these terms have been broken, if there is a security risk, if abuse is detected, or if continued access may harm Cranix or other users. Because a single Cranix account is used across all Cranix apps, suspending an account may remove access to every Cranix app. Where it is reasonable to do so, we aim to tell you the reason and, for temporary suspensions, how long it lasts.

15. Software Provided “As Is”

Cranix software, websites, downloads, beta builds, tools, and services are provided “as is” and “as available”. Cranix does not guarantee that every feature will be uninterrupted, secure, accurate, compatible with your device, free from bugs, or available forever.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Cranix is not responsible for indirect losses, lost data, lost profits, account issues, service interruptions, third-party platform changes, or damage caused by misuse, unsupported modifications, or beta software risks.

16. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated as Cranix products change, as Cranix Core is introduced, as new features are added, or if Cranix becomes a registered business. The “Last Updated” date will be changed when the terms are updated.

17. Governing Law

These terms are intended to be governed by the laws of England and Wales, unless another law must apply because of where you live or how a specific service is provided.
