Terms of use

1. Acceptance

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Vestia Technologies Corp., the operator of ShowFile Pro. By accessing or using the ShowFile Pro website or application, you agree to these terms. If you use ShowFile Pro for an organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these terms for that organization.

If you do not agree, do not use the service. Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled.

2. The service

ShowFile Pro provides browser-based inspection and workflow tools for presentation files used in live events, corporate AV and broadcast. The current service may be a preview, prototype or early-access version. Features may change, stop working or be withdrawn.

Presentation files are ordinarily processed in your browser. Optional field reports and communications are handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

3. Permission to use ShowFile Pro

Subject to these terms, we give you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use ShowFile Pro for lawful internal business purposes. This permission does not transfer ownership of the service, its code, design, documentation, branding or validation rules.

You may not copy or resell the service, bypass access or security controls, interfere with operation, probe for vulnerabilities without written authorization, overload the field-report receiver, use automated access that harms the service, or use ShowFile Pro unlawfully.

4. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• having the rights and authority needed to inspect each file and use any information you provide;
• protecting confidential presentation and client material on your devices and through your own delivery methods;
• reviewing findings and requests before relying on or sending them;
• maintaining backups and original copies of files;
• performing a final test on the intended playback machine and show signal path;
• complying with applicable laws, contracts, licences and workplace policies.

Do not put personal information, client names, confidential slide content or presentation files into the optional field-report description.

5. Your files, feedback and reports

You keep ownership of your files and other content. ShowFile Pro does not claim ownership of presentation files processed locally.

If you choose to send feedback or a field report, you give us permission to use that material only to operate, support, secure and improve ShowFile Pro. Do not submit material you do not have the right to provide.

6. Automated findings are not a playback guarantee

ShowFile Pro uses automated and limited file inspection. A result may be incomplete, incorrect or inapplicable to a specific version of PowerPoint, Keynote, ProPresenter, Resolume, operating system, codec, font installation, display system or venue configuration.

Labels such as Pass, No blocking findings, Flag, Unknown or Reject describe the app's automated inspection. They are not certification, crew approval, legal advice, security scanning or a guarantee that a file will open, render, play or look correct during a show.

7. Third-party services

ShowFile Pro may rely on third-party hosting, content delivery, browser features, Google services and email services. Your use of those services may also be governed by their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services that we do not control.

8. Availability and changes

We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of ShowFile Pro, impose reasonable limits, or restrict access when needed for security, maintenance, legal compliance or product changes. We do not promise uninterrupted availability or continued support for any browser, file format or validation rule.

9. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ShowFile Pro is provided "as is" and "as available." Vestia Technologies Corp. disclaims all express, implied and statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy and reliability.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions. In that case, the exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vestia Technologies Corp. and its directors, officers, employees and contractors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost revenue, profit, data, business, goodwill, production time or opportunities, arising from ShowFile Pro.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims connected with the service will not exceed the greater of CAD $100 and the amount you paid us for ShowFile Pro during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These limits do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any rights you cannot waive, the courts located in Ontario will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes connected with these terms or ShowFile Pro.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as ShowFile Pro changes. The revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continuing to use the service after the updated terms take effect means you accept them. If a change requires a different form of consent under applicable law, we will request it.

13. General

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement for the current public website and application unless you have a separate written agreement with us. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
