SquirrelWelcome to SquirrelBak
These Terms explain how you can use SquirrelBak — a lightweight, local backup tool.
We keep this simple because the software is simple.
1. License: You Can Use It Freely
SquirrelBak is free to download and use forever.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:
- Install the software on your own devices
- Use it for personal or work purposes
- Run both Server and Client on machines you control
You may not:
- Resell, rent, or lease the software
- Reverse-engineer or modify it for redistribution
- Use it in illegal or harmful ways
2. Your Data, Your Responsibility
You own all your files. Always.
SquirrelBak does not claim ownership of any data you back up.
However, we are not responsible for:
- Data loss due to hardware failure
- Incorrect setup (e.g. wrong folder selected)
- Network issues during transfer
- Malware or unauthorized access to your devices
Backup is a safety net — but you must maintain your systems.
3. No Warranty - But We’re Honest
SquirrelBak is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.
This means:
- We do not guarantee it will work perfectly in all situations
- We do not promise it will prevent all data loss
- We are not liable for indirect damages (data, time, profit loss)
But here’s what we do promise:
- We’ll never collect more than file count and extensions
- We’ll keep the software lightweight and private
- We’ll fix critical bugs when found
4. Updates & Support
We may release updates to improve stability or add minor features.
Updates are optional and free.
Support is community-driven via our website and documentation.
We respond to critical bug reports, but do not offer guaranteed response times.
5. Changes to These Terms
If we ever update these Terms, we will post the new version here with a new date.
For major changes, we may add a notice in the app (if possible).
But don’t worry — we won’t sneak in anything unfair.
6. User-Modified or created Translations
SquirrelBak provides built-in translations (Chinese, English, and others) generated with AI assistance and reviewed by our team. Users may create or modify translation files to override the default text.
By creating or using custom translations, you agree that:
- You are solely responsible for the content of any modified translation
- We do not review, endorse, or verify user-modified translations
- We are not liable for any inaccuracies, offensive content, political statements, or legal issues arising from user-modified translations
- You will not use custom translations to display unlawful, harmful, infringing, or politically sensitive content
We reserve the right to remove or disable user-modified translations that violate these terms or applicable law.
7. Export Control
You may not use or export SquirrelBak in violation of any applicable export laws or regulations. You are responsible for ensuring your use of the software complies with the laws of your jurisdiction.
8. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where DoubleBlue is registered, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any disputes arising from these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to the competent courts in the jurisdiction of DoubleBlue's registration.
