Terms of Use

1. The product

HearHop is software that streams Mac system audio to nearby iPhones and iPads over a local network. You may stream to up to four nearby receivers at once. Distribution is through the Mac App Store and the App Store for iPhone and iPad when listings are available. HearHop is not an internet streaming service and is not AirPlay.

2. License

Subject to these Terms and Apple’s App Store terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use HearHop on Apple devices you own or control, for personal or internal use. You may not rent, sublicense, reverse engineer (except to the extent applicable law prohibits that restriction), or use HearHop to provide a competing hosted streaming service.

3. Accounts

HearHop does not create a HearHop user account. Access to App Store purchases uses your Apple ID under Apple’s terms.

4. Trial and purchases

• The Mac app includes a free trial of 30 minutes of cumulative Stream time (time counts while Stream is on).
• After the trial, unlimited Mac streaming requires a one-time HearHop Lifetime Unlock purchased on that Mac through the App Store (StoreKit non-consumable). There is no HearHop subscription in the current product.
• The iPhone and iPad companion app is free to listen. Unlock is purchased on Mac only.
• The unlock applies to streaming on the Mac where it is purchased/restored, subject to Apple’s licensing and restore rules. In the current product configuration the unlock is not Family Shareable.
• Prices shown on this website are intended storefront amounts and may differ from live App Store localization. Apple handles payment, taxes, refunds, and restores under Apple’s terms.
• Launch offers (such as first-100-customer discounts) are available only while the stated promotion is active and supported by App Store mechanics.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to:

• Use HearHop only on devices and networks you are authorized to use
• Grant only the permissions needed and use local-network features lawfully
• Not attempt to bypass trial, unlock, pairing, or security controls
• Not interfere with other users’ devices, networks, or HearHop’s operation
• Not use HearHop to infringe others’ rights in audio content you choose to stream

You are responsible for complying with copyright and other laws for the content you play on your Mac and stream to your devices.

6. Device and network requirements

HearHop requires compatible Apple devices, required system permissions (including Local Network and, on Mac, System Audio Recording), and typically the same local Wi‑Fi / local network. Some guest or public networks block device-to-device discovery. The Mac generally needs to stay awake with HearHop running while streaming. Exact minimum OS versions may be stated on this site only after compatibility review; technical targets used in development are macOS 14.2 and iOS 17.0.

7. Website

Marketing and support content on this website is informational. If website copy conflicts with behavior in the shipped apps or with Apple App Store product pages, the apps and App Store terms control for the software. App Store availability depends on Apple review and regional availability.

8. Intellectual property

HearHop, the HearHop name and marks, and the apps’ software and design are owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not transfer ownership of any intellectual property to you.

9. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in the apps and on this site.

10. Disclaimers

HearHop is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, particular latency, compatibility with every network or accessory, or that streaming will work on every guest network. Audio quality and headphone behavior can vary by device and iOS version.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Devcollar Private Limited will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of HearHop or this website. Our aggregate liability for claims relating to HearHop or this website is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the HearHop Lifetime Unlock in the twelve months before the claim or (b) USD 50, except where liability cannot be limited under applicable law (including for fraud or personal injury caused by negligence where such limits are prohibited).

12. Apple-required notice

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Devcollar Private Limited, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for HearHop. To the extent permitted, Apple has no warranty obligation; any claims relating to product liability, consumer protection, privacy, or intellectual property infringement are addressed between you and us (subject to Apple’s role as App Store distributor). Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you regarding your use of the apps.

13. Termination

You may stop using HearHop at any time by uninstalling the apps. We may suspend or end access to website services or refuse support if you materially breach these Terms. Provisions that by nature should survive (including license restrictions, disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law) survive termination.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would apply another jurisdiction’s laws. Courts at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. If you continue using HearHop or this website after changes take effect, you accept the revised Terms. For material changes, we may also provide additional notice in the apps or on this site when practical.
