2. Description of Service

KDE Connect (kdeconnect.org) is an independently operated informational website. We provide guides, setup instructions, feature descriptions, and download links related to the KDE Connect software — a multi-platform application developed by the KDE Community that lets you link your phone and computer over local networks.

We are not the developer, publisher, or official distributor of KDE Connect. The software is developed by the KDE Community (KDE e.V.) and is released under the GPL v2+ license.

This website does not host any software files directly. All download links point to official or original distribution sources. The content on this site exists for informational and educational purposes only.

3. Intellectual Property

KDE Connect, its logo, and all associated trademarks belong to the KDE Community and their respective owners. Our use of these names and marks on this website is strictly for identification and informational purposes.

The original content on this website — including articles, guides, descriptions, page designs, and HTML/CSS code — is the property of KDE Connect (kdeconnect.org). You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute this original content without prior written permission.

The KDE Connect software itself is the intellectual property of its developers and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2 or later.

5. Downloads and Software

This is an important section. Please read it carefully.

All download links on this website direct you to external sources — typically the official KDE Connect repositories, the Microsoft Store, Google Play, F-Droid, or Apple App Store. We do not host, modify, repackage, or redistribute any KDE Connect software files.

We cannot guarantee the safety, integrity, or continued availability of software on external platforms. Software availability and versions may change without notice on those platforms.

You are solely responsible for:

  • Verifying the authenticity of any downloaded software before installing it
  • Scanning downloaded files with current antivirus software
  • Reading and agreeing to KDE Connect’s own license agreement (GPL v2+) before use
  • Confirming that the software is compatible with your operating system and hardware
  • Backing up your data before installing any new software

We do not provide technical support for KDE Connect. If you need help with the software, contact the KDE Community directly through their official support channels at kdeconnect.kde.org.

Download links may become outdated as new versions are released. We make reasonable efforts to keep links current, but we cannot guarantee that every link will work at all times.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from your use of this website shall not exceed zero dollars ($0).

8. External Links

This website contains links to third-party websites, including the official KDE Connect project page, app stores, code repositories, and other resources.

You access external links at your own risk. We recommend reviewing the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

9. Advertisements

This website may display advertisements served through Google AdSense or similar third-party advertising networks. These ads are selected and delivered by the ad network, not by us.

We do not endorse any products or services shown in advertisements. Ad content is determined by the advertising network based on factors like your browsing behavior and location.

10. Content Accuracy and Updates

We put effort into providing accurate information about KDE Connect, including its features, system requirements, setup instructions, and version details. That said, software changes frequently. Versions, features, system requirements, and download availability can change at any time.

We cannot guarantee that every piece of information on this site is current at the moment you read it. We reserve the right to modify, update, or remove any content without prior notice.

If you spot inaccurate information on this website, we would appreciate hearing from you through our contact page.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with applicable laws. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the website should first be resolved through good-faith negotiation.

If negotiation does not resolve the dispute, it shall be submitted to the appropriate courts with jurisdiction. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

16. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms of Service at any time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Changes become effective immediately upon posting.

Your continued use of the website after any changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms. We encourage you to check this page periodically.

17. Termination

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate your access to this website at any time, without notice, for any reason. All provisions of these Terms that should reasonably survive termination — including liability limitations, indemnification, and intellectual property clauses — will remain in effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, form the complete agreement between you and KDE Connect (kdeconnect.org) regarding your use of this website. They replace any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral.
