Acceptable use

By using Floe, you agree not to:

  • Transfer illegal content (e.g., malware, pirated software, child exploitation material).
  • Use the service for phishing or social engineering attacks.
  • Disrupt, overload, or abuse the signaling server or the relay service behind floe.one.

The code itself is open source: reading it, running your own copy, and reporting what you find are welcome. See Copyright & license below and our security policy.

User responsibility

Since Floe is a peer-to-peer service, you are solely responsible for the content you send. We do not (and cannot) moderate file contents. You agree to indemnify the developers of Floe against any legal claims arising from your use of the service.

Copyright & license

The source code for Floe is available under the MIT License. You are free to inspect, modify, and host your own version of this software, subject to the terms of the license.

Relay usage

When your connection uses the TURN relay, transfers are limited to 2 GB per session. Excessive or automated use of the relay may result in rate limiting or restrictions on access to the signaling and relay infrastructure. These limits exist to keep Floe free for all users.

Contact & reports

Questions about these terms, bug reports, and abuse reports go to our public issue tracker: github.com/jannskiee/floe/issues. Security vulnerabilities, and abuse reports that include personal details or copies of the content, go privately instead: use the vulnerability report form or the email address in our security policy rather than a public issue.

Because transfers are peer-to-peer, we cannot inspect or remove content sent between users, and our signaling server keeps no record of who took part in a transfer. Automatic per-address rate limits are the only restriction the service applies on its own.
