  <section id="nature">
    <h2 class="sec"><span class="num">1</span>Nature of the App</h2>
    <p>SideInstaller is a free, community-driven tool that allows users to install and manage apps on their own iOS devices ("sideloading") using their own Apple ID and Apple's developer provisioning system. SideInstaller is an independent project. <b>It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc.</b> Apple, iOS, and Apple ID are trademarks of Apple Inc.</p>
  </section>

  <section id="risk">
    <h2 class="sec"><span class="num">2</span>Assumption of Risk</h2>
    <p>Sideloading relies on mechanisms that Apple does not officially support for this purpose and that Apple may change, restrict, or disable at any time. By using the App, you acknowledge and accept, among others, the following risks:</p>
    <ul>
      <li><b>Apple account actions.</b> Apple may flag, lock, restrict, or terminate Apple IDs used with sideloading tools, and may revoke certificates or provisioning profiles at any time, causing installed apps to stop working.</li>
      <li><b>Device issues.</b> Installation failures, app crashes, data loss, pairing problems, or other malfunctions on your device.</li>
      <li><b>Service changes.</b> iOS updates or Apple server-side changes may break the App's functionality partially or entirely, without notice.</li>
      <li><b>Third-party apps.</b> Any app you choose to install through SideInstaller is your sole responsibility. SideInstaller does not review, host, or endorse third-party apps or their content.</li>
    </ul>
    <p class="notice">You use the App entirely at your own risk and on your own devices and accounts.</p>
  </section>

  <section id="responsibilities">
    <h2 class="sec"><span class="num">3</span>Your Responsibilities</h2>
    <p>You agree that you are solely responsible for:</p>
    <ol>
      <li>Complying with all laws and regulations applicable in your jurisdiction;</li>
      <li>Complying with any agreements you have with Apple, including the Apple Media Services Terms and the Apple Developer Agreement, where applicable;</li>
      <li>Ensuring you have the right to install any software you sideload, and that such software is lawfully obtained;</li>
      <li>The security of your own Apple ID credentials and devices;</li>
      <li>Any consequences arising from apps you install, distribute, or use via the App, including piracy, copyright infringement, or violations of third-party terms.</li>
    </ol>
    <p>The App must not be used for any unlawful purpose, including the installation or distribution of pirated software.</p>

  </section>

  <section id="indemnification">
    <h2 class="sec"><span class="num">6</span>Indemnification</h2>
    <p>You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer and contributors from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right, including any agreement between you and Apple.</p>
  </section>

  <section id="privacy">
