Terms of Service

1. The Service

SWAapp lets you connect a WhatsApp account and schedule recurring or one-off messages to contacts and groups, optionally driven by Google Calendar events. It relies on a self-hosted Evolution API instance to send WhatsApp messages and on AWS infrastructure to run.

2. Acceptable Use

• Only send messages to contacts and groups you have a right to message.
• Do not use the app to send spam, unsolicited bulk messages, or content that violates WhatsApp's own Terms of Service.
• Do not use the app for unlawful, harassing, or abusive purposes.
• SWAapp is intended for personal, non-commercial use — for your own reminders and messages to people and groups you already know. Do not use it for bulk marketing, promotional messaging, or to communicate with customers on behalf of a business.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

3. Your Account

You're responsible for the accuracy of the schedules and messages you configure. Sign-in is passwordless: you can use a passkey (Face ID, fingerprint, or your device's screen lock) or sign in through Google — there's no password to create, remember, or have leaked. A passkey is tied to the device it was created on; if you lose access to every device with a registered passkey, contact us to help you regain access.

4. Third-Party Platforms

SWAapp connects to WhatsApp using Evolution API, a self-hosted, community-maintained integration that connects the same way the official WhatsApp mobile app does, rather than WhatsApp's official Business Platform. This means the number you connect carries some inherent risk of restriction, rate-limiting, or suspension by WhatsApp, independent of how carefully you use SWAapp.

Message delivery depends on WhatsApp and, where used, Google Calendar. We don't control these platforms and aren't responsible for outages, policy changes, or account restrictions imposed by them.

5. Service Availability

SWAapp is provided free of charge, on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, and we are not liable for missed, delayed, or failed message deliveries.

By using SWAapp, you acknowledge and accept the risk described in Section 4 that WhatsApp may restrict, rate-limit, or ban the number you connect, and you agree that SWAapp and its operator are not liable for any loss, inconvenience, or damages resulting from such action by WhatsApp, Google, or any other third-party platform.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SWAapp and its operator from any claim, demand, loss, or liability — including reasonable legal fees — arising out of your use of the app in violation of these terms, applicable law, or WhatsApp's own terms of service, including but not limited to sending unsolicited bulk messages, spam, or unlawful content.

7. Termination

You may stop using the app at any time. You can permanently delete your own account and all associated data yourself, with no need to contact us, from Profile → Delete Account (open Profile from the sidebar) — this immediately cancels and removes your schedules, audiences, WhatsApp session, and Google Calendar connection along with your account, and cannot be undone. We may also suspend or terminate access for violations of these terms.

An account that never connects a WhatsApp number is automatically deleted after 24 hours — you're welcome to simply sign up again at no cost. This never applies to an account that has connected WhatsApp at any point, even if it's since disconnected.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

9. Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Egypt, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If a dispute arises, please contact us first at the email below so we can try to resolve it directly — most issues with a free, personal-use app can be sorted out this way. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Egypt.
