Terms of Service

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Welcome to Skycle.app! By using our application, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Skycle.app, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use Skycle.app.

Use of Skycle.app

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use Skycle.app strictly in accordance with these Terms. Signing in with Bluesky is optional: it unlocks circle history and lets you stop appearing in Skycle circles entirely (see the Privacy Policy). An account that signs in to Bluesky again at least once every 12 months stays active; otherwise it is deleted, with everything it owns, as detailed in the Privacy Policy.

Modifications

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms of Service at any time. It is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of Skycle.app after the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

Restrictions

You may not:

  • Use Skycle.app in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to Skycle.app, user accounts, or related systems or networks.
  • Use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access Skycle.app.

Content from Bluesky API

Skycle.app uses public data from the Bluesky API. We do not claim ownership or control over any of this data. All rights, title, and interest in and to the content accessed through the Bluesky API belongs to the respective content owner and may be protected by applicable copyright and/or other laws.

What Skycle is, and is not

Skycle is a personal, non-commercial project. It is not meant to harm anyone: it draws a picture from public Bluesky data and only reads that data. It posts, follows or writes to your account only when you ask it to (publishing your circle, creating a starter pack). It never asks for your Bluesky password and does not store it: you sign in on Bluesky's own page (OAuth). Skycle keeps only the server-side session needed while you are signed in (see the Privacy Policy), which you can end at any time by signing out.

No Warranty

Skycle.app is provided on an «as is» basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skycle.app shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from: (a) your use or inability to use Skycle.app; (b) any unauthorized access to or use of our servers and/or any personal information stored therein. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits a liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, in particular for intentional misconduct, gross negligence or personal injury, nor the rights that mandatory consumer-protection law gives you.

Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by French law. Any dispute is first sought to be resolved amicably, through the contact form or at contact@skycle.app. Failing that, the courts of Marseille, France, have jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring the dispute before another court, in particular that of the place where you lived when the contract was concluded or when the damage occurred (Code de la consommation, art. R.631-3): that right is not affected.

Version history

  • 10 November 2026 — Governing law and jurisdiction: amicable resolution first, then the courts of Marseille unless mandatory consumer law gives another court (R.631-3); the liability limitation no longer applies where the law forbids it; a new section says what Skycle is (personal, non-commercial, reads public data, never stores your Bluesky password).
  • 1 November 2026 — Security review follow-up (#35, PR #97): removes the false claim that signing in lets you choose whether your circle is public or private (no such setting exists) and replaces it with the real opt-out; flags the jurisdiction and liability-limitation clauses for the CEO's own legal review.
  • 1 November 2026 — Translated to French, dated and given a version history (#35); mentions Bluesky sign-in and account retention (12 months of inactivity), clarifies the governing law/jurisdiction wording. Substance otherwise unchanged.
  • 28 March 2024 — Initial publication.
