The two-minute version
We're a remote control, not a content library. The App helps you find, cast, and control video on devices you already own — it doesn't host, provide, or vet any video content itself.
You're responsible for what you cast. Only cast content you have the right to view and share; we're not liable for third-party websites or their content.
Clicker is free, with no ads. Optional tips are one-off payments through Google Play or the App Store; they unlock small thank-you perks, and refunds follow the store's own policies.
The App is provided "as is." We work hard to make casting reliable, but streaming across your Wi-Fi to third-party hardware means we can't promise it'll never fail.
Acceptance of these terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Highbrow Marketing Limited, trading as Sidefolk ("we," "us," "our"), the publisher of Clicker, governing your use of the Clicker mobile application (the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.
If you do not agree, do not download or use the App. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to use the App.
The service
Clicker is a utility that helps you:
- Discover and control TVs and streaming devices on your local network (Chromecast, Android TV, Roku, LG webOS, Fire TV, and similar).
- Cast video from your device's own gallery, or from web pages you browse in the App's built-in browser, to those devices.
- Mirror your device's screen to a TV over your local network.
- Use your device as a physical/infrared remote control.
The App is a tool for controlling devices and displaying content you choose. We do not host, produce, curate, or endorse any video content reachable through the App's browser, and we have no relationship with the operators of the third-party websites you may visit there.
License to use the app
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use. This license does not permit you to:
- Copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App;
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except where applicable law expressly permits it;
- Rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the App to a third party;
- Remove or obscure any proprietary notices in the App;
- Use the App for any competitive purpose, including to plan, build, or operate a competing product or service, or to data-mine or scrape it for that purpose.
Tips & the Supporters wall
Tips
Every feature of the App is free and the App shows no ads. You can choose to leave a tip ("Buy me a coffee", "Keep Clicker ad-free", "Help Clicker grow") through Google Play or the App Store. Tips are voluntary, one-off payments; they are not subscriptions and do not renew. Billing and refunds are handled by that store under its own terms — we don't process or store your payment details. Prices are shown in the App before purchase.
Perks
Tips come with small thank-you perks: a Supporter badge, the Supporter Gold remote theme, and, for the largest tip, the option to have a name shown on the Supporters wall inside the App. Perks are a gesture of thanks, not a product; we may change or retire a perk, and a perk may not carry over if you reinstall without restoring purchases.
The Supporters wall
If you ask for a name to appear on the Supporters wall, you send it to us by email. Showing a name is a courtesy, not a right: we review every name by hand and decide, in our sole discretion, whether and how it is shown.
We will not show, and may remove at any time, a name that:
- is offensive, hateful, discriminatory, obscene, sexual, violent, threatening or harassing;
- impersonates, or uses without permission the name of, another person, a public figure, a brand, a trademark or an organisation;
- contains links, email addresses, phone numbers, social-media handles or other personal or contact details;
- advertises or promotes a product, service, website, cause or political message;
- is unlawful, misleading, or that we otherwise consider inappropriate for an app used by families.
We may refuse, shorten, correct the spelling of, hide or remove any name, at any time and without notice or giving a reason, including if you ask us to. We may also change or end the Supporters wall. A refused, edited or removed name, or the end of the wall, does not entitle you to a refund of a tip.
By sending a name you confirm that you are at least 13 years old, that the name is yours (or a nickname for you) and that you have the right to use it, and you give us a free, non-exclusive permission to show it on the Supporters wall in the App and in the public supporters list the App reads from our website. Names on the wall can be seen by everyone who uses the App, so please use only a first name or nickname you are happy to share publicly. To have your name removed, email [email protected] and we will take it down.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the App to:
- Cast, transmit, or access content you don't have the legal right to view, copy, or display, including infringing copyrighted material;
- Violate any applicable law, or the terms of service of any third-party website or device you access through the App;
- Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt unauthorized access to any device, network, or service the App connects to;
- Use the App to distribute malware or to attack devices belonging to others;
- Circumvent any digital rights management or content-protection measure.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if we reasonably believe you've violated this section.
Third-party content & services
The App's built-in browser lets you navigate to websites operated by third parties, and its casting features rely on protocols and SDKs (Google Cast, DIAL, Roku ECP, LG webOS, Android TV Remote, AirPlay-equivalent mirroring) built by device manufacturers. We don't control, and aren't responsible for, the content, availability, security, or practices of any third-party website, device, or service — including websites you find and cast video from, or any ads served by our advertising partners. Your use of those third parties is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.
The App's optional ad/malvertising-blocking feature is provided on a best-effort basis to reduce exposure to known malicious or deceptive ads; it is not a guarantee that every ad, scam overlay, or tracker will be blocked.
Intellectual property
The App, its design, logos, and original content (excluding anything you cast through it) are owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of that ownership to you beyond the limited license in Section 3.
You retain all rights to content you personally own and cast through the App (such as your own photos and videos). Content you cast that belongs to a third party remains that party's property, and casting it does not grant you or us any rights to it beyond ordinary personal viewing.
Anti-piracy policy
By casting, browsing, or otherwise accessing any video or other content through the App, you certify that you have the right to do so without violating anyone else's copyright or other rights. You agree not to use the App to engage in, or help anyone else engage in, online piracy, copyright infringement, or any other illegal activity.
Copyright infringement is a real legal risk, not just an App rule: in the United States and many other countries, unauthorized reproduction or distribution of copyrighted material can carry serious civil and criminal penalties. Violating this policy may also get your access to the App terminated.
Because the App does not host any video content itself — it only helps you find, cast, and control content that already exists elsewhere — most copyright concerns belong with the website or service actually hosting the material. If you'd like to report suspected piracy involving the App, or believe the App's own name, code, or listing infringes your rights, email [email protected].
Disclaimers
Some jurisdictions don't allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Clicker and its developers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the App — including content encountered through its browser or any third-party device you connect to it — even if we've been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Where liability can't be fully excluded, our total liability to you for all claims relating to the App is limited to one-half of the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or $20 USD if you're a free-tier user and haven't paid us anything.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third party's rights, including copyright, through content you choose to cast.
Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, without prior notice where circumstances warrant it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (Anti-Piracy Policy, Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law & Dispute Resolution, General Provisions) will continue to apply.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms as the App evolves. We'll update the "Effective" date above and, for material changes, show an in-app notice. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the revised Terms.
Governing law & dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be decided by the courts of New Zealand.
Nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have under consumer-protection law that cannot be excluded, including, in New Zealand, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986, or the equivalent law where you live.
General provisions
Changes to the App. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time, with or without notice, and we won't be liable to you for doing so.
Our decisions. We have the final say on how the App works, what it offers, and how these Terms apply to it. Where these Terms leave something to our discretion, we decide, acting reasonably and as the law allows.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the App, and supersede any earlier versions or understandings.
Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in full effect, and the unenforceable part will be replaced with a valid provision that most closely matches its intent.
No waiver. If we don't enforce a provision of these Terms on one occasion, that doesn't waive our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them — for example, as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — by notifying you.
No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms are between you and us; they don't create rights for anyone else, including the operators of third-party sites or devices you access through the App.
