Terms of Use

By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using the Scheater software, you unconditionally accept these Terms of Use (ToU), governed by Swiss law. If you do not accept these terms, please do not proceed with the purchase, download, or installation of the software.

Subject to full payment of the purchase price, the Publisher grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use Scheater strictly within the scope of your personal, non-commercial use.

• The license is tied to your buyer account and/or your Home Assistant instance.
• Any reproduction, modification, distribution, reverse engineering, decompilation, or commercial use of the software is prohibited without prior written authorization from the Publisher.
• You may not resell, rent, lend, or sublicense the software without prior written agreement.

Scheater is a software assistant that integrates with your Home Assistant instance. It does not operate autonomously and depends on your local configuration, entities, sensors, automations, and hardware.

Scheater operates heating equipment that may have a direct impact on the comfort, energy consumption, and safety of your home.

The software is provided "as is", to the extent permitted by applicable law, without express or implied warranty as to its fitness for a particular purpose, continuous availability, or absence of errors.

The Publisher disclaims all liability, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for:

• malfunction of your sensors, relays, or heating equipment;
• overheating, under-heating, property damage, or loss of comfort;
• excess energy consumption or abnormal billing;
• fire, pipe freezing, or any other incident related to the use of the software.

This limitation of liability does not apply in cases of fraud or gross negligence, nor where mandatory law excludes such limitation.

Transactions are secured and processed by Lemon Squeezy, our payment partner.

The Publisher may release corrective or feature updates. Installing them is recommended to ensure security, compatibility, and proper functioning of the software.

• Major updates may include new features or compatibility changes.
• End of support for an older version will be communicated with reasonable notice, except in cases of security urgency or technical constraints.

You may stop using the software at any time. Where applicable, you may also request the deletion of personal data processed by the Publisher, subject to legal retention obligations.

• The Publisher reserves the right to suspend or terminate your license in the event of a breach of these ToU, fraudulent use, or non-payment.
• Termination does not entitle you to any refund, unless required by mandatory law or a contrary commercial policy expressly published by the Publisher.

The Publisher commits to the long-term availability of the software, including in the event the project is discontinued.

These ToU are governed by Swiss law, excluding the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods.

In the event of a dispute, and after an attempt at amicable resolution, jurisdiction is established in Geneva, to the extent permitted by applicable law. For consumers domiciled in Switzerland, mandatory rules of judicial competence remain reserved.

By using Scheater, you agree in particular to:

• provide accurate information when purchasing and using the service;
• keep your Home Assistant environment, network, and equipment in good working order;
• verify your configurations, schedules, and settings before commissioning;
• not use the software for unlawful, fraudulent, or purposes contrary to these ToU.

Scheater may rely on third-party services for certain functions, including payment processing, site hosting, or traffic analytics. The Publisher is not responsible for interruptions, changes, or failures attributable to these third-party services.

The functioning of the software may also be affected by changes made to Home Assistant, third-party integrations, or entities configured by the user.
