Slate Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

AGREEMENT TO TERMS

These Terms of Service ('Terms') constitute a legally binding agreement between you ('you' or 'user') and Altus IX ('we,' 'us,' or 'our'), governing your access to and use of the Slate mobile application (the 'Services').

By downloading, installing, or using Slate, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must discontinue use and uninstall the app immediately.

You can contact us regarding these Terms at support@altusix.com or by post at Altus IX, Mumbai, India.

1. OUR SERVICES

Slate provides customizable home screen widgets and an ambient desk standby display for compatible Android devices. Features include clock dials, weather forecasts, battery and device telemetry, interactive tools, and customizable screen saver modes.

The app is provided for your personal, non-commercial use on compatible devices running supported Android OS versions.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Altus IX owns or licenses all rights, titles, and interests in Slate, including software code, layouts, user interface designs, custom typography integrations, graphics, and branding.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, and non-transferable license to use Slate on your personal device.

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, extract source code, modify, distribute, or sell any part of Slate without our prior written consent.

3. DEVICE USAGE & SCREEN TIMEOUTS

Desk Mode and screen saver features allow your device screen to stay awake while docked or charging.

Slate includes optional safety controls—such as automatic battery failsafes (which sleep the screen if unplugged below 20%) and night-stand dimming—to help manage screen brightness and power usage.

You acknowledge that keeping your device screen on for extended periods consumes battery power and generates heat depending on your device hardware, environment, and charging accessories. Slate is provided as a utility, and you are responsible for monitoring your device's charging conditions and battery health.

4. APP PERMISSIONS & USER RESPONSIBILITIES

Certain features require optional Android system permissions (such as Location for weather updates or Contacts for speed dial shortcuts). You are responsible for managing these permissions in your device settings.

You agree to use Slate in compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations and not to use the app for any unauthorized or harmful purpose.

5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

SLATE IS PROVIDED ON AN 'AS-IS' AND 'AS-AVAILABLE' BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT WIDGET UPDATES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AS BACKGROUND REFRESH TIMING IS SUBJECT TO ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM POWER POLICIES, BATTERY OPTIMIZATIONS, AND NETWORK AVAILABILITY.

WEATHER FORECASTS AND SYSTEM STATS ARE DISPLAYED FOR CONVENIENCE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON FOR CRITICAL SAFETY OR MEDICAL PURPOSES.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALTUS IX AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE SLATE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO SLATE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE APP, OR ₹500 INR, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

7. MODIFICATIONS AND TERMINATION

We reserve the right to update, modify, or discontinue any feature or part of Slate at any time without prior notice.

We may update these Terms periodically. Continued use of Slate after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

8. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of India, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute or legal claim arising from these Terms or your use of Slate shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
