End User License Agreement

This End User License Agreement governs the licence under which the Quven software is provided to you. The complete local, self-hosted experience is free of charge.

Last updated: June 2026

Version 1.0 — June 2026. This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legally binding contract between you (either an individual or a single legal entity, "You") and Domenico Aiello (the "Licensor"), concerning the software product known as Quven — including the Quven media server, the Quven desktop client, the Quven web client, any related mobile or TV applications, their installers, updates, documentation and bundled assets (collectively, the "Software").

By downloading, installing, copying or otherwise using the Software, You agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If You do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

1. Definitions

  • "Software": the Quven binaries, installers, updates, configuration assets and documentation distributed by the Licensor, in object-code form only.
  • "Device": a physical or virtual machine owned, leased or otherwise lawfully controlled by You on which the Software is installed or executed.
  • "User Content": media files, libraries, metadata, preferences and any other data that You store, index, stream or otherwise process through the Software. User Content is supplied by You, not by the Licensor.
  • "Paid Services": optional subscription- or credit-based services offered by the Licensor that rely on the Licensor's cloud infrastructure (for example managed remote-access relay, managed AI features or cloud-metered services), governed by separate terms as set out in Section 8.
  • "Third-Party Components": software components distributed with, or invoked by, the Software that remain subject to their own license terms, as listed in the THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES document accompanying the Software and in the in-app credits.

2. License Grant

Subject to Your continued compliance with this Agreement, the Licensor grants You a free-of-charge, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to:

  1. install and execute the Software on Devices owned or controlled by You;
  2. use the Software for Your personal, family or internal household purposes, including making the server component available to members of Your household and invited guests;
  3. make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software for archival purposes, provided all proprietary notices are preserved.

No fee is charged for the license granted in this Section. The Software is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted to You are reserved by the Licensor.

3. License Restrictions

Except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable mandatory law, You shall NOT, and shall not permit any third party to:

  1. copy the Software except as expressly allowed in Section 2;
  2. distribute, publish, sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense or otherwise make the Software available to third parties, whether for charge or free of charge, other than pointing third parties to the Licensor's official distribution channels;
  3. modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works of the Software;
  4. reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation (including Articles 5 and 6 of Directive 2009/24/EC on the legal protection of computer programs, for the purposes and under the conditions set out therein);
  5. remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices contained in the Software;
  6. circumvent, disable or tamper with license-verification, entitlement or feature-gating mechanisms of the Software, or use the Software with credentials, entitlement tokens or license keys not lawfully issued to You;
  7. use the Software to infringe the intellectual-property rights of any third party, or in violation of applicable law;
  8. use the Software to provide a commercial hosted or managed service to third parties (for example, operating Quven as a paid streaming offering for customers) without a separate written agreement with the Licensor.

4. Ownership

The Software is protected by copyright laws and international treaties. The Licensor and its licensors own and retain all right, title and interest in and to the Software, including all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks and other intellectual-property rights. The "Quven" name, the Quven logo and associated branding are unregistered or registered marks of the Licensor; this Agreement grants You no right to use them except as embedded in the unmodified Software.

5. Third-Party Components

The Software is distributed together with, and invokes, Third-Party Components — including, without limitation, FFmpeg (GNU GPL v3), which is bundled as a separate, independently executed program in an aggregate distribution. Each Third-Party Component remains governed exclusively by its own license, and nothing in this Agreement limits the rights You hold under those licenses for those components. The complete catalogue, license texts and — where required — source-availability information are provided in the THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES document and in the in-app credits (Settings → About).

6. User Content and Responsibility

  1. The Software is a self-hosted tool that organizes and streams Your own media libraries. The Licensor supplies no media content and has no access to, possession of, or control over Your User Content, which remains stored on Your Devices.
  2. You are solely responsible for Your User Content, for the lawfulness of its acquisition, storage and playback in Your jurisdiction, and for the persons to whom You give access to Your server.
  3. Metadata, artwork, ratings, reviews and subtitle search results are retrieved, at Your request, from third-party services (such as TMDB, OMDb, OpenSubtitles and streaming availability data licensed from JustWatch). Those services are governed by their own terms, and their availability is not guaranteed by the Licensor. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

7. Diagnostics and Privacy

The Software does not transmit telemetry or crash reports unless You explicitly opt in. Diagnostic reporting is disabled by default, is configurable per surface (server, desktop client, web client) and, when enabled, applies aggressive redaction of personal data before transmission. The processing of personal data, where applicable, is described in the Licensor's Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of this Agreement by reference.

  1. The license in Section 2 covers the complete local, self-hosted experience free of charge.
  2. The Licensor may offer optional Paid Services that depend on the Licensor's cloud infrastructure. Paid Services are governed by separate Terms of Service and, where applicable, subscription agreements presented at the point of purchase; this Agreement does not grant any right to Paid Services.
  3. Features of the Software that verify entitlements for Paid Services are part of the license-verification mechanisms protected under Section 3.6.

9. Updates

  1. The Software may check for updates; downloading and installing updates requires Your explicit action unless You enable automatic updates where available.
  2. Updates, upgrades, patches and new versions supplied by the Licensor are part of the Software and governed by this Agreement, unless accompanied by a separate license, in which case the separate license prevails for that update.
  3. The Licensor is under no obligation to provide updates, new features or continued compatibility, and may discontinue development or distribution of the Software at any time.

10. Pre-Release Versions

Versions identified as alpha, beta, preview, release candidate or similar ("Pre-Release Versions") are provided solely for evaluation, may contain defects, may be materially unstable, and may stop functioning at the end of a test period. Sections 13 and 14 apply to Pre-Release Versions to the fullest extent. The Licensor may require Pre-Release Versions to be updated or abandoned at any time.

11. Term and Termination

  1. This Agreement is effective from the moment You first install or use the Software and remains in force until terminated.
  2. You may terminate it at any time by uninstalling the Software and destroying all copies.
  3. This Agreement terminates automatically, without notice, if You materially breach any of its terms. Upon termination You must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies.
  4. Sections 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 survive termination.

12. Compliance With Laws; Export

You shall use the Software in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including — to the extent applicable — export-control and sanctions rules. You represent that You are not located in, and will not export or re-export the Software to, any jurisdiction where such use or export is prohibited.

13. No Warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE, "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY THE LICENSOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN THAT CASE THEY APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED.

14. Limitation of Liability

  1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, MEDIA LIBRARIES, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
  2. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LICENSOR'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY EUROS (EUR 50), REFLECTING THAT THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE.
  3. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (ARTICLE 1229 OF THE ITALIAN CIVIL CODE), FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, OR MANDATORY CONSUMER RIGHTS IN YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

  1. This Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Italy, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
  2. The courts of the Licensor's domicile in Italy shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if You are a consumer habitually resident in the European Union You retain the protection of the mandatory provisions of, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, Your country of residence.

16. General Provisions

  1. Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the documents referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings on the subject.
  2. Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force, and the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that most closely reflects its intent.
  3. No waiver. Failure to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver.
  4. Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement without the Licensor's prior written consent. The Licensor may assign this Agreement in connection with a transfer of the Software's ownership or business.
  5. Amendments. The Licensor may publish revised versions of this Agreement for future releases of the Software; the version accompanying the copy You install governs that copy.
  6. Language. This Agreement is drafted in English. Translations may be provided for convenience; in case of conflict the English version prevails to the extent permitted by applicable law.
