Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the PlayerCast website, PlayerCast VR, PlayerCast PC, related support services, testing programs, product materials, and any future PlayerCast service that expressly links to these Terms.

By downloading, installing, accessing, purchasing, testing, or using PlayerCast, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use PlayerCast.

These Terms do not remove or limit consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded in your location.

1. About PlayerCast

PlayerCast develops immersive display software built around compatible devices and local source-to-display experiences.

PlayerCast VR uses two compatible Android phones. One remains with the user as the Controller Phone. The other becomes the Display Phone inside a compatible VR Box-style viewer.

PlayerCast VR is designed to connect those devices through supported local connection paths such as Wi-Fi Direct or LAN.

PlayerCast PC extends the display concept to Windows. A compatible Windows PC or laptop acts as the source device while a compatible Android phone becomes the Display Phone.

PlayerCast is not a cloud-streaming platform, not a guaranteed wireless HDMI replacement, not a PC VR replacement, and is not positioned as a replacement for dedicated high-end VR, AR, spatial-computing, or specialized 3D hardware.

2. Eligibility

You must be legally permitted to download, purchase, install, test, and use mobile applications, desktop applications, and digital services in your location.

If you are under the age required to enter into a binding agreement where you live, you may use PlayerCast only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

If you use PlayerCast for another person, family, school, organization, or business, you are responsible for ensuring that the use complies with these Terms and applicable laws.

3. Device and compatibility requirements

PlayerCast requires compatible devices, supported operating systems, suitable local connection conditions, and a compatible viewing setup.

PlayerCast VR requires compatible Android phones and a compatible VR Box-style phone viewer.

PlayerCast PC requires a compatible Windows PC or laptop as the source device and a compatible Android phone as the Display Phone.

Availability, installation method, store availability, and device compatibility may vary by product, platform, country, and release status.

The experience may vary based on factors including:

• Device brand and model.
• Android version, Windows version, and manufacturer software.
• Processor, graphics, encoder, decoder, and capture capability.
• Display resolution, dimensions, refresh behavior, and quality.
• Wireless hardware and local network conditions.
• Battery level, temperature, memory, and background activity.
• Permissions and operating-system restrictions.
• VR Box-style viewer design, lens quality, fit, and alignment.
• The application, game, website, media, or content being viewed.
• Protected-content restrictions or third-party capture rules.

PlayerCast does not guarantee compatibility with every Android device, Windows PC, laptop, viewer, accessory, application, network, game, website, or content source.

4. Local viewing

PlayerCast is designed around supported local viewing paths.

PlayerCast VR does not require a PlayerCast account for its core local viewing experience.

When you approve screen capture or other required source-device access, selected screen content may be captured, encoded, transmitted through the supported local connection, decoded, and displayed by the nearby Android Display Phone.

For PlayerCast VR, the Controller Phone is the Android source device.

For PlayerCast PC, the compatible Windows PC or laptop is the source device.

PlayerCast is not designed to upload your viewing session to PlayerCast-operated servers for remote storage, advertising, profiling, or cloud viewing.

You are responsible for the security and configuration of your devices, local networks, accounts, applications, and accessories.

5. Screen capture and content restrictions

PlayerCast relies on operating-system functionality and user approval for screen capture or display behavior.

Some applications, games, streaming services, websites, protected media, secure windows, or other content may block or limit screen capture, recording, casting, screenshots, mirroring, or external display behavior.

PlayerCast does not guarantee that restricted or protected content will display.

PlayerCast must not be used to bypass digital rights management, copy protection, access controls, secure windows, capture restrictions, licensing, or other technical restrictions.

6. PlayerCast PC expectations

PlayerCast PC is intended for compatible Windows PCs and laptops as the source device.

It should not be understood as guaranteed to work with every Windows device, game, application, capture scenario, or protected media source.

PlayerCast PC is not promised as zero latency, artifact free, delay free, universally compatible, a high-end PC VR replacement, or a guaranteed wireless HDMI replacement.

Performance may vary based on the Windows device, graphics hardware, operating-system behavior, capture method, encoder support, local network quality, Android Display Phone capability, application behavior, game behavior, and content restrictions.

7. Your responsibilities

When using PlayerCast, you agree to:

• Use only devices, networks, accounts, applications, and content that you are authorized to use.
• Follow applicable laws, platform rules, content licenses, and third-party terms.
• Respect copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contractual, and other legal rights.
• Keep your Android devices, Windows devices, accounts, local network, and connected accessories secure.
• Use compatible viewers, chargers, cables, controllers, phones, laptops, PCs, and accessories safely.
• Stop using PlayerCast when device heat, battery condition, connection behavior, physical comfort, or environmental safety creates a concern.

8. Safety and physical comfort

Immersive viewing may cause eye strain, dizziness, nausea, headache, fatigue, disorientation, loss of balance, motion discomfort, or other symptoms.

Stop using PlayerCast immediately if you experience discomfort, impaired awareness, unusual vision, disorientation, or any other concerning symptom.

Do not use PlayerCast while:

• Driving or operating any vehicle.
• Walking near roads, stairs, balconies, traffic, or hazards.
• Operating machinery, tools, appliances, or equipment.
• Performing an activity that requires full visual awareness.
• Standing or moving in an unsafe or unfamiliar environment.

Use PlayerCast while seated or otherwise safely positioned in a clear environment. Take regular breaks and follow applicable device, viewer, and health guidance.

Children should use PlayerCast only with appropriate adult permission, supervision, session limits, and attention to guidance provided by phone, computer, and viewer manufacturers.

9. Device heat, battery, and accessories

Video capture, encoding, networking, decoding, display brightness, computer capture, and immersive viewing can increase battery use, power use, fan activity, and device temperature.

Do not cover ventilation areas, use damaged batteries or chargers, continue using an excessively hot device, or use accessories that are unsafe or incompatible.

PlayerCast is not responsible for damage caused by defective, modified, counterfeit, incorrectly fitted, or improperly used devices, chargers, viewers, cables, controllers, mounts, computers, or other accessories.

10. Purchases, licensing, and promotions

PlayerCast products may be distributed as paid applications or may use application stores, platform services, licensing, purchases, promotions, promo codes, or entitlement verification.

Purchases made through Google Play, Microsoft Store, or another applicable distribution platform are also governed by that platform's applicable terms, billing rules, refund processes, country availability, payment requirements, and account policies.

Prices, currencies, taxes, promotions, discounts, and availability may vary by country, account, platform, store, and time.

Promotional codes may be subject to expiration dates, country restrictions, account eligibility, quantity limits, redemption rules, and other conditions established by PlayerCast or the applicable store.

A promotional code has no cash value, may not be resold, and does not guarantee compatibility with a user's devices.

11. Refunds

Refund requests for purchases made through an application store are handled according to that store's applicable refund procedures, PlayerCast's obligations as the developer, and mandatory rights available under applicable law.

A refund is not guaranteed solely because PlayerCast does not work with a particular unsupported device, application, protected content source, network configuration, viewer, or accessory.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a refund, remedy, warranty, or consumer protection that cannot legally be excluded.

12. Updates and application changes

PlayerCast may release updates to improve security, stability, compatibility, performance, display quality, features, legal compliance, platform support, or store support.

An update may add, change, limit, replace, or remove functionality.

Some updates may require a newer Android version, Windows version, different permissions, supported hardware, installation on multiple devices, or updated Controller, source, and Display components.

Continued compatibility with outdated application versions, unsupported operating-system versions, or modified installations is not guaranteed.

13. Future features and research

PlayerCast may publicly discuss concepts, experiments, research directions, prototypes, or possible future functionality through its website, blog, development notes, demonstrations, or other communications.

Such material describes exploration unless expressly identified as functionality included in a released PlayerCast product.

Future concepts, technical methods, specifications, product names, requirements, compatibility, release order, and availability may change, be postponed, or be discontinued.

No roadmap, concept, experiment, demonstration, or research statement guarantees a release date, final feature set, compatibility level, image quality, frame rate, resolution, performance result, or commercial availability.

14. Beta, closed-test, and early-access versions

PlayerCast may provide internal-test, closed-test, beta, preview, or early-access versions before general release.

Test versions may contain defects, incomplete features, temporary interfaces, diagnostic behavior, compatibility limitations, or changes that do not appear in the final release.

Testers should not rely on a test version for critical, emergency, medical, professional, financial, security-sensitive, or uninterrupted operation.

Access to a test version may be limited, changed, suspended, or ended at any time.

Test access does not guarantee continued access, a free final version, a particular launch date, or retention of test data and settings.

15. Feedback

You may voluntarily provide suggestions, reports, ideas, compatibility observations, test results, screenshots, logs, or other feedback.

You confirm that you have the right to provide the feedback and that it does not unlawfully disclose another person's confidential, private, or protected information.

PlayerCast may use non-confidential feedback to evaluate, improve, market, support, or develop PlayerCast without an obligation to adopt the suggestion or compensate the person who submitted it.

16. Support

PlayerCast may provide support through email, website information, release notes, testing channels, application-store messages, or other available methods.

Support availability, response times, languages, scope, and methods are not guaranteed.

When requesting support, provide only information relevant to the issue.

Do not send passwords, complete payment credentials, private messages, unrelated personal files, or confidential third-party information.

17. Third-party applications, content, and services

PlayerCast may display supported screen content from third-party applications, games, websites, streaming services, media providers, or other services selected by the user.

PlayerCast does not own, operate, sponsor, control, or endorse those third parties merely because their content may appear during a PlayerCast session.

Third-party products are governed by their own terms, privacy policies, licenses, subscriptions, regional restrictions, content rules, technical restrictions, and availability.

Third-party services may change, block capture, remove content, suspend accounts, stop working, or become incompatible without notice to PlayerCast.

18. Intellectual property

Subject to these Terms and any applicable store license, PlayerCast grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to install and use the application for its intended purpose.

This license does not transfer ownership of PlayerCast software, branding, designs, documentation, or intellectual property.

20. Availability and service continuity

PlayerCast is provided on an available basis. Operation may be interrupted or affected by updates, defects, maintenance, security changes, device limitations, operating-system changes, network conditions, third-party restrictions, store requirements, or circumstances beyond PlayerCast's control.

PlayerCast does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, artifact-free, delay-free, zero-latency, or continuously available operation.

PlayerCast may suspend, modify, restrict, discontinue, or replace an application, website feature, testing program, service, or product direction where reasonably necessary.

23. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from your unlawful use of PlayerCast, infringement of another person's rights, violation of these Terms, or misuse of third-party content.

This section does not apply where responsibility cannot lawfully be imposed on a consumer.

24. Suspension and termination

PlayerCast may limit, suspend, or terminate access to a service, support channel, testing program, promotion, license, or related feature where reasonably necessary because of:

• Fraud, abuse, unauthorized distribution, or security risk.
• A legal, regulatory, or platform requirement.
• Risk to users, devices, networks, services, or rights.
• Discontinuation or material change of a product or service.

Sections that by their nature should continue after termination, including intellectual-property, disclaimer, liability, and dispute provisions, will remain effective where applicable.

25. Privacy

26. Changes to these Terms

PlayerCast may update these Terms when products, features, laws, platform requirements, payment methods, store requirements, or business operations change.

The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when changes are published. Additional notice may be provided where required.

Your continued use after updated Terms become effective means that you agree to the revised Terms, except where applicable law requires another form of notice or consent.

27. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or unlawful, that provision will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

28. No waiver

A failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision or another provision later.

These Terms, together with the PlayerCast Privacy Policy and any applicable store terms, purchase conditions, promotion rules, or additional written terms presented for a specific feature, constitute the applicable agreement concerning your use of PlayerCast.
