Terms of Service

Effective date: April 23, 2026

These Terms cover everything Rockxy publishes: the website, the open-source macOS app, and paid Pro/Enterprise features. Three other documents sit beneath them: the AGPL-3.0 license for the open-source core, the EULA for paid features, and the Fulfillment & Refund Policy for billing.

1. Acceptance

By accessing rockxy.io, downloading the Rockxy app, purchasing a Paid Features license, or otherwise using anything we publish, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use them. "Rockxy", "we", "us", and "our" refer to the Rockxy project and its maintainers. "You" and "your" refer to the individual or entity using our products.

2. How Rockxy is licensed

Rockxy is distributed under two separate licenses. Know which one applies to you:

Open-source core — the core Rockxy app is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). Use, study, modify, and redistribute per that license.
Pro and Enterprise paid features — proprietary, licensed only under the End User License Agreement. The AGPL-3.0 does not cover them.

Where these Terms conflict with the EULA on a topic specific to Paid Features, the EULA controls. Where they conflict with the Fulfillment & Refund Policy on a billing topic, that policy controls. Where they conflict with the AGPL-3.0 on the open-source core, the AGPL-3.0 controls.

3. Permitted use of the software

Rockxy is a developer tool for debugging and inspecting network traffic on machines you own or are authorized to test. Permitted uses include:

Personal and commercial software development and debugging
Inspecting HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, and GraphQL traffic from your own applications
API testing and validation on systems you own or have authorization to test
Performance analysis and error diagnosis of your own services

4. Prohibited use

You must not use Rockxy to:

Intercept, monitor, or capture network traffic on networks or devices you do not own or do not have explicit authorization to debug
Circumvent security measures, access controls, or encryption on third-party systems
Conduct any activity that violates applicable local, state, national, or international law
Harvest credentials, session tokens, or personal data belonging to others
Share, resell, or publish paid license keys, or use a key obtained by fraud or chargeback (see the EULA)

5. System modifications made by the app

Rockxy makes the following changes to your system, each requiring your explicit consent:

Root CA certificate — Rockxy generates a local root Certificate Authority and installs it to your macOS system keychain. This modifies your TLS trust store and allows Rockxy to generate per-host certificates for HTTPS interception. macOS prompts for admin authorization before installation. You can remove the root CA at any time from Keychain Access.
System proxy settings — When enabled, Rockxy configures your Mac's HTTP and HTTPS proxy settings to route traffic through the local proxy server. The privileged helper tool manages these settings.
Privileged helper tool — Rockxy includes a helper daemon that runs as root via macOS launchd, installed to /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/. This helper manages system proxy settings without requiring repeated password prompts. It validates all incoming XPC connections via code signing certificate comparison and only accepts connections from the Rockxy app signed with the same certificate chain.

6. The website

You may browse and link to rockxy.io. We do not run accounts on the website — there is nothing to sign up for here. Website content (text, images, code snippets) is offered for your personal reference; do not scrape at a rate that degrades service for other readers, and do not misrepresent our content as your own. External links on the site lead to third-party pages we do not control. Analytics behavior on the website is covered by the Privacy Policy.

7. Purchases, pricing, and taxes

Paid Features are sold through Lemon Squeezy as our Merchant of Record. Prices shown on the pricing page are in the currency and amount displayed at checkout and are exclusive of tax. Founding Pro plans are one-time perpetual licenses that include one (1) year of updates and support; they are not subscriptions and do not auto-renew. Applicable VAT, GST, or sales tax is calculated and collected by Lemon Squeezy based on your billing address. Receipts are issued by Lemon Squeezy; they are the official tax invoice. If a price is listed incorrectly due to an obvious typographical or display error, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders placed at that price and to issue a full refund.

8. Cancellation, renewal, and refunds

Optional update renewals, the 14-day refund window for Paid Features, and the chargeback process are all described in the Fulfillment & Refund Policy. That policy is part of these Terms.

9. Support

Support for the open-source core is community-driven through the GitHub issue tracker. Support for paid licenses — activation, key delivery, refunds, billing — is handled by email at [email protected]. We aim to reply within 2 business days. Enterprise support terms, if any, are governed by a separate order form.

10. Intellectual property and trademarks

The open-source core is governed by the AGPL-3.0, which grants you broad copyright rights subject to its copyleft terms. The proprietary components of Paid Features are governed by the EULA. The "Rockxy" name, logo, and branding are project trademarks. Neither the AGPL-3.0 nor the EULA grants you trademark rights. You may not use the Rockxy name or logo to endorse, promote, or name derivative products, or to suggest affiliation or sponsorship, without prior written permission.

11. Third-party services and links

Rockxy relies on third parties for specific functions — Vercel (hosting and website analytics), Google Analytics (website traffic), TelemetryDeck (optional anonymous app product analytics), Sentry (optional app crash/error/log/span diagnostics), Lemon Squeezy (payments and license-provider flows), Resend (License Manager access-link email delivery), GitHub (source and issues), and Gmail (support inbox). Each provider has its own terms and privacy policies; see the Privacy Policy for the full list. We are not responsible for the content, terms, or availability of third-party services linked from our website.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

ROCKXY AND ALL CONTENT ON ROCKXY.IO ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT HOLDERS, AND CONTRIBUTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FOR PAID FEATURES, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY CAP IN THE EULA APPLIES. FOR THE OPEN-SOURCE CORE, THE LIABILITY PROVISIONS OF THE AGPL-3.0 APPLY.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Rockxy maintainers and contributors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of Rockxy, your violation of these Terms, the EULA, or any other Rockxy agreement, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

15. Export control and sanctions

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to comprehensive sanctions administered by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the United Nations, and that you are not on any restricted-party list maintained by those authorities. You agree not to export, re-export, or transfer Rockxy in violation of applicable export control or sanctions law.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the primary Rockxy maintainer resides, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The competent courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising under these Terms, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

18. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the EULA (for Paid Features), the Fulfillment & Refund Policy, and the AGPL-3.0 License (for the open-source core), constitute the entire agreement between you and Rockxy, superseding all prior agreements on the same subject. Any Enterprise purchase order or signed Master Services Agreement takes precedence over these Terms where it conflicts.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the products evolve. Changes are reflected in the effective date above and committed to the source repository. Material changes to paid-user obligations will be notified by email where practical. Continued use of Rockxy after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
