Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using joypad.ai, config.joypad.ai, or any services provided by Joypad AI ("Joypad," "we," "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use our services.

2. Our Services

Joypad provides:

Controller Tester & Configuration Tool — a web-based tool at config.joypad.ai for testing and configuring game controllers using the Gamepad API, WebUSB, and WebSerial.
Controller Adapters — hardware products (the Joypad Dongle and related adapters) that let you connect any controller to any platform.
Open Source Firmware (joypad-os) — firmware for our adapters, released under the MIT License.
iOS Controller App — a mobile app for controller connectivity.

3. Controller Tester Tool

The web-based controller tester and configuration tool communicates with your hardware via browser APIs (Gamepad API, WebUSB, WebSerial). All device interaction happens locally in your browser — no controller data is transmitted to our servers.

You grant the necessary browser permissions at your own discretion. We are not responsible for any issues arising from firmware updates or configuration changes you apply to your devices through the tool.

4. Open Source Firmware

joypad-os is open source software released under the MIT License. You are free to use, modify, and distribute it under the terms of that license. The firmware is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. See the full MIT License for details.

5. Hardware Purchases

Controller adapter purchases are subject to standard consumer protections. Products are sold as described on the product page. If you receive a defective unit, contact us at joy@joypad.ai and we'll work to make it right.

Modifying firmware or hardware beyond documented use cases may void your warranty. Prices, availability, and specifications are subject to change without notice.

6. Newsletter

When you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you product updates, launch announcements, and related content. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. We won't sell or share your email with third parties.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Use our services for any unlawful purpose.
Attempt to interfere with or disrupt our services or infrastructure.
Reverse engineer our proprietary hardware designs (open source firmware is fair game).
Misrepresent your affiliation with Joypad.

8. Intellectual Property

The Joypad name, logo, and website content (excluding open source code) are the property of Joypad Inc. The joypad-os firmware and related open source projects are licensed under their respective open source licenses.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Joypad and its officers, employees, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services, products, or firmware — including but not limited to damage to controllers, consoles, or other hardware.

Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to Joypad in the 12 months preceding the claim.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

Our services and tools are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that the controller tester tool will work with every device or browser combination.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll post the updated version on this page with a revised date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts located in Texas.
