PLYNX - TERMS OF SERVICE

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Welcome to Plynx (“Plynx”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) govern your access to and use of the Plynx mobile application (“App”) and related services, including the Plynx server platform (collectively, the “Services”).

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

1. DEFINITIONS

“Content” means any data, including but not limited to device data, widget configurations, sensor readings, automation rules, and any other information generated, collected, or transmitted in connection with the use of the Services.
“Device” means any hardware device (such as microcontrollers, sensors, or IoT devices) that connects to the Plynx platform.
“User” or “You” means any individual or entity that accesses or uses the Services.
“Your Content” means Content that you or your Devices transfer to us for processing, storage, or hosting by the Services.
“Token” means the unique authentication credential generated for your Devices to connect to the Plynx platform.

2. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By creating an account, downloading the App, or using any part of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

You represent and warrant that:

You are at least 18 years of age (or older, where the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction is higher);
You have the legal authority to enter into this Agreement;
If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

The Services are not directed to minors. Persons under the age of 18 may use dashboards or Devices connected to the Services only under the supervision and responsibility of an adult account holder, who remains responsible for such use.

3. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Plynx provides an IoT (Internet of Things) platform that enables users to:

Create and manage dashboards for monitoring and controlling connected Devices;
Visualize data from sensors and other hardware;
Configure automation and control systems;
Connect hardware devices using authentication tokens;
Store and process Device data.

3.1 Server Options

You may choose to connect to:

Plynx Cloud Server (plynx.cc) - our hosted service;
Self-hosted servers - servers you operate independently.

When using the Plynx Cloud Server, your data is processed and stored on our infrastructure. When using self-hosted servers, you are solely responsible for data processing and storage.

3.2 Protocol Compatibility, Open-Source Software, and Non-Affiliation

The Plynx App is an original, independently developed application. For interoperability purposes, the App implements the Blynk wire protocol (protocol compatibility) so that it can communicate with compatible servers, including legacy Blynk servers. The Plynx App does not include any GPL-licensed code or any code derived from Blynk software.

The GNU General Public License version 3.0 (GPL-3.0) applies solely to the separately distributed server software (blynk-server) that you may choose to self-host. You may obtain its source code at https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-server. Nothing in these Terms restricts any rights you have under the GPL-3.0 with respect to that software, and the GPL-3.0 prevails over these Terms for that software.

Plynx is an independent project. Plynx is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Blynk Inc. “Blynk” is a trademark of its respective owner, used solely to describe protocol compatibility with legacy Blynk servers.

Your use of any open-source software is subject to its respective license.

3.3 Plynx Cloud Server Availability (Beta)

The Plynx Cloud Server (plynx.cc) is currently provided as a free beta service. We do not guarantee any level of availability, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue it at any time. Where reasonably possible, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice before permanent discontinuation and an opportunity to export your data. You are responsible for maintaining backups of any data you cannot afford to lose.

4. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

4.1 Account Creation

To use certain features of the Services, you must create an account by providing:

A valid email address;
A secure password.

4.2 Account Security

You are responsible for:

Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials;
All activities that occur under your account;
Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your account.

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your account.

4.3 Account Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

5. USER RESPONSIBILITIES

5.1 Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to use the Services to:

Violate any applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights;
Engage in any illegal, fraudulent, or harmful activity;
Distribute malware, spam, or any malicious content;
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or other users’ accounts;
Interfere with or disrupt the Services or servers;
Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or the proprietary portions of the Services, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law (this restriction does not apply to software licensed under open-source licenses, such as the GPL, that expressly permit such activities);
Use the Services for Safety-Critical Uses (as defined in Section 5.2);
Overload or abuse the Services in a manner that impacts other users;
Resell the Services without our prior written consent.

5.2 Safety-Critical Uses

You must not use the Services to monitor or control any system where failure, malfunction, delay, or unavailability could result in death, personal injury, or significant property or environmental damage (“Safety-Critical Uses”). Safety-Critical Uses include, without limitation: life-support and medical devices; heating, gas, or combustion appliances operated without independent hardware safety controls (e.g., mechanical thermostats, thermal fuses, pressure valves); door locks, gates, and access-control systems protecting persons or property; pumps or equipment whose failure may cause flooding or fire; nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, and weapons systems; and any application where the Services act as the sole means of control, alarm, or monitoring.

The Services are provided for convenience and hobbyist/prototyping purposes and are not designed, tested, or certified for safety-critical operation. You must always maintain independent, hardware-level fail-safes and must not rely on the Services, on push notifications, or on the plynx.cc server’s availability for any safety function.

5.3 Your Content

You retain ownership of Your Content. By using the Services, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process, store, and transmit Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the Services.

You are solely responsible for:

The accuracy and legality of Your Content;
Ensuring Your Content does not infringe any third-party rights;
Backing up Your Content.

5.4 Device Security

You are responsible for the security of your Devices and tokens. You must:

Keep authentication tokens confidential;
Use secure connections where possible;
Monitor your Devices for unauthorized access.

If the Services allow you to share access to your Devices, dashboards, or projects with other users, you do so at your own risk: you are responsible for the actions of the persons with whom you share such access, and you should share access only with persons you trust. We are not a party to any arrangement between you and such persons.
