What this covers
Framevane is software, not a service. These terms cover using this instance of it — the server you are reading this page on — and they are between you and whoever runs that server. The people who wrote the software operate nothing, see nothing, and are not a party to it.
Operator contact: [email protected]
Licence: [PLACEHOLDER — the repository has no LICENSE file yet] Every dependency in the stack is MIT or Apache-2.0, chosen that way deliberately, but the project has not yet stated its own licence. Name it here once it has.
No warranty
The software is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind and no promise about availability. It runs on hardware and a network that neither its authors nor, in most cases, your audience control. A broadcast can fail: a phone can lose its uplink, a platform can refuse a feed, a server can run out of CPU in the middle of a composite session.
Test a setup before it matters. Nobody is liable for a broadcast that did not go out, a recording that was not written, or anything that followed from either.
Your account on this instance
Registration closes itself once the first account has claimed an instance, so every later account exists because the operator deliberately opened it again. The operator decides who has an account and can remove one at any time.
There is no admin role yet: every account on an instance has the same rights. Anyone you add is a peer, not a guest, and can see and change what the instance holds. Run a second instance rather than sharing one with somebody you would not give that to.
What you broadcast
What goes through this server is yours. Nothing here reviews, moderates or claims any right over it. You are responsible for having the rights to what you broadcast and record — the music, the footage, the people in frame — and for the law that applies where you and your audience are.
The platforms still make their own rules
Connecting a YouTube channel or a Facebook Page, or pasting a TikTok stream key, means that platform’s terms govern what you send to it. Framevane pushes a stream; it cannot exempt you from anything, and a platform can refuse, interrupt or take down a broadcast for its own reasons.
Their eligibility gates are theirs too, and they are real: live streaming takes 24 hours to activate on a new YouTube channel, a Facebook Page needs 100 followers and an account at least 60 days old to go live through the API, and TikTok requires 1,000 followers before a third-party encoder can be used at all.
Your credentials
The pairing QR code carries a stream’s ingest key and its control token. Anyone who photographs it can broadcast on that stream and write what appears on screen. Keeping it — and the platform stream keys you paste in — to yourself is your responsibility; both can be rotated from the dashboard if one gets out.
Ending
You can stop using this instance whenever you like. The operator can stop running it whenever they like, and is under no obligation to keep your recordings — they are files on their disk. Take a copy of anything you want to keep.
What the server stores while you are using it is set out in the privacy policy.
