Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to Vaultist. By accessing or using our VPN service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws.

Apple Standard EULA

Use of the Vaultist iOS app is governed by Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"). These Terms of Service govern your use of the Vaultist VPN service, including the service available at vaultist.protaski.com.

If the Standard EULA and these Terms address the same subject, the Standard EULA controls your use of the licensed iOS app, and these Terms control your use of the VPN service.

Intellectual Property Rights

Under these Terms, Vaultist owns all rights to the intellectual property and material contained in this service, and all such rights are reserved. You are granted a limited license only, subject to the restrictions provided in these Terms, for purposes of using our VPN service.

Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use our service to:

• Engage in any illegal activities
• Distribute malware, spam, or engage in phishing
• Attempt to bypass or circumvent service limitations
• Interfere with or disrupt the service or servers
• Access others' accounts without permission

Service Availability

While we strive to provide reliable service, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. Vaultist reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time.

Privacy and Data

Your use of our service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. We maintain a strict no-logs policy and do not track or store your browsing activity, destination IP addresses, DNS queries, or any data transmitted through the VPN tunnel.

The iOS app uses Apple's MetricKit framework to collect redacted performance and diagnostic data. All MetricKit payloads are stripped of personally identifiable fields before transmission. Optional analytics may be enabled or disabled during onboarding. Connection diagnostics (transport protocol, interface type, handshake time, aggregated bytes, and failure categories) are stored locally on your device to assist with troubleshooting.

If you registered with an email address (rather than Sign in with Apple), your email address may be used to send transactional emails necessary to operate your account, such as password reset links. These emails are delivered via Amazon Web Services Simple Email Service (AWS SES). Apple ID users do not receive emails from us.

Free Trial

Vaultist offers a limited free trial to new accounts. The free trial is available once per physical device. Creating additional accounts on the same device to obtain further trials is a violation of these Terms and may result in account suspension.

Trial eligibility is determined using Apple's DeviceCheck framework, which allows our servers to verify, without identifying you, whether a device has previously received a trial. By creating an account on an iOS device you consent to this verification.

Limitation of Liability

Vaultist shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use or inability to use the service.

User Responsibilities

As a user of Vaultist, you are responsible for ensuring that any information you provide is truthful and accurate, and you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and credentials.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable international laws, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Changes to Terms

Vaultist is permitted to revise these Terms at any time as it sees fit, and by using this service, you are expected to review such Terms regularly to ensure you understand all terms and conditions governing use of this service.
