Terms of Use

Effective date: May 2026

Scope

These terms govern your use of the website civo-cloud-manager.app. Your use of the CivoCloudManager macOS app is additionally governed by the Apple Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement (Apple's standard EULA) shown on the Mac App Store listing.

1. The site and the product

The website civo-cloud-manager.app is the marketing site for the CivoCloudManager macOS app, distributed via the Apple Mac App Store. The site is operated under the DigitalFreedom brand by Berger & Rosenstock GbR (see the Imprint for full details).

CivoCloudManager is an independent, third-party macOS client for the Civo Cloud platform operated by Civo Ltd. (UK). Berger & Rosenstock GbR is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Civo Ltd. “Civo” is a trademark of Civo Ltd.

2. Relationship to Civo Cloud

Civo Cloud is the underlying service. You bring your own Civo account and your own Civo API key. Cloud resources (Kubernetes clusters, Object Stores, databases, instances, networks, DNS, firewalls) are provisioned, billed, and operated by Civo Ltd. under Civo's own terms — see civo.com/legal.
CivoCloudManager is a client. It reads and writes to the Civo REST API on your behalf using the API key you provide. It does not provision, host, or charge for Civo resources.
No SLA on the Civo service. Berger & Rosenstock GbR makes no representations and gives no warranties regarding the availability, performance, accuracy, or behaviour of the Civo Cloud service. Outages, billing disputes, data loss, and feature changes on the Civo side are governed by Civo's own terms — not these.
Your responsibility. You remain solely responsible for managing your Civo account, for the cost of resources you provision, and for the consequences of destructive operations (deleting clusters, databases, Object Stores, etc.) initiated through the app. CivoCloudManager requires explicit name confirmation for destructive actions and gates sensitive operations with Touch ID, but the final decision is always yours.

3. Acceptable use of the website

You agree not to:

attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website or its hosting infrastructure;
introduce malware, scrape the site in a way that disrupts service, or use automated tools to overload it;
reproduce, redistribute, or commercially exploit the website's content beyond the limits granted by German copyright law (UrhG).

4. Intellectual property and trademarks

All textual content, code, images, and design of the website are © 2025–2026 DigitalFreedom — Berger & Rosenstock GbR, except where otherwise marked. “CivoCloudManager” and “DigitalFreedom” are trade names used by Berger & Rosenstock GbR.

“Civo” is a trademark of Civo Ltd. — used here under nominative fair use to identify the platform the app is built for. “Apple”, “Mac”, “macOS”, “App Store”, “Touch ID”, and the Apple logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. “Kubernetes” is a registered trademark of the Linux Foundation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

5. Third-party services on this website

The website embeds the Mac App Store badge linking to apps.apple.com and uses Google Analytics 4 in Consent Mode v2 (Advanced) — see the Privacy Policy for the details. Outbound links to civo.com, github.com, marcelrgberger.com, and support.apps.digitalfreedom.co.za are provided for convenience; we have no control over and assume no liability for their content (see Imprint, §§ 8 & 9).

6. Disclaimer of warranties

The website is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

The information on this website — including app features, pricing, supported macOS versions, screenshots, and the Civo REST API surface — is provided for general information only and may be out of date. The authoritative source for the app is the Mac App Store listing; the authoritative source for the Civo platform is civo.com.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Berger & Rosenstock GbR shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, loss of data, revenue, or profits arising out of or in connection with your use of the website. Mandatory liability under German law — in particular under the Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) and for grossly negligent or intentional conduct — remains unaffected.

8. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes are communicated on this page; the effective date at the top reflects the latest revision.

9. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. The place of jurisdiction is the registered seat of Berger & Rosenstock GbR, to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence are unaffected.

10. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
