Terms and Conditions

The short version

About these Terms

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) apply to your use of droidfeats.com (the “Site”). The Site is operated by Rabbit Rank LLC, based in Austin, Texas, United States (“Droidfeats”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

By visiting or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm that you are allowed to accept these Terms for it.

What Droidfeats offers

Droidfeats publishes Android news, reviews and buying advice, smartphone and tablet coverage, app and game news, how-to guides, firmware and app download guides, wallpapers, and a daily email newsletter (Droidfeats Daily). Everything is free to read and use. We don’t sell products, and there is nothing to buy on the Site.

You don’t need an account to use the Site. You agree to use it only for lawful purposes and not to:

• try to break, overload, probe or gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers or other users’ data;
• use bots, scrapers or automated tools to copy the Site’s content or to send spam through our forms or comments;
• upload or link to malware, or anything meant to harm a device or an account; or
• pretend to be someone else, or mislead people about who you are or where a message comes from.

Downloads, firmware and device modifications

Many of our guides explain how to download apps, firmware, drivers or custom software, and how to root, unlock or modify Android devices. Please read this part carefully.

• Files, firmware and apps linked from Droidfeats are provided by their original developers, device makers or other third parties. We aim to link to trustworthy sources, but we can’t guarantee that a file is current, safe or right for your device.
• Android is a trademark of Google LLC. Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Qualcomm and other names and logos belong to their owners. Droidfeats is independent and is not sponsored by, or affiliated with, any of them unless we say so.
• You are responsible for making sure you may legally use any software you download, including following its licence and the laws where you live.

News, reviews and accuracy

We work to make articles accurate and up to date, but mobile news moves quickly. Rumors, leaks, release dates, specifications, prices and software versions can change after we publish, and articles can contain mistakes. Content on the Site is for general information only and is not professional, legal, financial or technical advice. If you spot an error, tell us and we’ll look at it.

Advertising and affiliate links

Droidfeats is supported by advertising (including Google AdSense) and by Amazon affiliate links. Amazon Associates is our only affiliate program: as an Amazon Associate, Droidfeats earns from qualifying purchases. When you click one of our Amazon links and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Our Affiliate Disclosure explains how this works.

Prices, deals and availability shown in articles can change at any time. The seller’s own page is always the final word. Orders, payment, shipping, returns and refunds are handled by Amazon or the store you buy from, under its own rules, and we aren’t responsible for them.

Our content and intellectual property

The articles, text, graphics, logos, layout, code and other material on the Site (the “Content”) belong to Rabbit Rank LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. Names, logos and screenshots of third-party products and apps belong to their owners and are shown to report on or review them.

• You may read the Content and share links to it for personal, non-commercial use.
• You may quote a short excerpt with clear credit and a link back to the original article.
• You may not copy, republish, scrape, translate, sell or build products from our Content, or remove copyright notices, without our written permission.

If you believe something on the Site infringes your copyright, please follow the steps on our DMCA page.

Comments and what you send us

Comments are open on most articles. You don’t need an account, but you do need to give a name and an email address (your email is never shown publicly). Our comment moderation tools and an anti-spam filter check comments, and we may hold, edit or delete any comment.

• Keep comments relevant, honest and polite. Don’t post anything illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, hateful or misleading, and don’t make unfounded accusations.
• Don’t post content that infringes anyone’s copyright, privacy or other rights, and don’t share other people’s personal information.
• Don’t use comments for spam, advertising or links to harmful downloads.

You are responsible for what you post. You confirm that you own it or have the right to share it, and you give us a free, worldwide licence to display, store, edit for clarity or legal reasons, and publish it on the Site together with the name you used. We aren’t responsible for the accuracy or legality of comments written by users, and a comment doesn’t represent our views. We won’t sell or spam the email addresses submitted with comments.

Asking us to remove a comment. If you are the subject of a comment that breaks these Terms, email [email protected] with a link to the comment and a short explanation. We aim to reply within 48 to 72 hours. We won’t remove a comment only because you disagree with it.

The same applies to anything else you send us (tips, feedback, job applications or messages): you confirm it is yours to share, and you allow us to use tips and feedback to run and improve the Site. Nothing in this section gives you a right to be published or paid.

Droidfeats Daily newsletter

If you subscribe to Droidfeats Daily, we’ll first email you a link to confirm your address. After you confirm, you’ll get a daily email with the stories we published that day. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can stop at any time. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your email address.

Links to other websites

The Site links to other websites, apps and services, including manufacturers’ download pages, app stores, online shops and embedded videos. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content, security, availability or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement. Please read the terms and privacy policy of any site you visit.

Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Site and all Content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability and non-infringement. We don’t promise that the Site will always be available, error-free or free of viruses, or that any file or information on it will meet your needs.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Rabbit Rank LLC, its owners, managers, employees, contributors and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, devices or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Site, the Content, any downloaded file or any modification you make to a device, even if we were told it might happen. Where the law does not allow a limit on a particular kind of liability, that limit does not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold harmless Rabbit Rank LLC and its owners, managers, employees, contributors and partners from any claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that come from your breach of these Terms, your comments or submissions, or your violation of someone else’s rights or of the law.

Suspension and termination

We may remove content, block access to the Site (for example, by blocking an IP address) or close any account, without notice, if we believe you have broken these Terms, acted unlawfully, or put the Site or other people at risk. You can stop using the Site at any time.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. If you keep using the Site after an update, you accept the new Terms, so please check back now and then.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If a dispute comes up, you and we agree to try to settle it first through good-faith discussion. If that doesn’t work, it will be decided exclusively by the courts located in Texas, and you agree to their jurisdiction. Don’t use the Site where doing so would break the law.

If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest stays in force. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site. We aren’t responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages, attacks, natural disasters or government action. Nothing here creates a partnership, employment or agency relationship between you and us, and we may respond to lawful requests from courts and authorities.
