VpnHood! CLIENT — Terms of Use

Effective: 2026-08-31.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and OmegaHood LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) for the official VpnHood! CLIENT application (the “App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Our Privacy Policy explains how the App handles data. A store or platform through which you obtain the App may also impose terms that apply to your download and use.

If you obtained the App through Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Standard EULA governs your licence to the App instead of the “Licence and ownership” section below, and controls over these Terms wherever the two conflict. The rest of these Terms — including acceptable use, disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law — still applies to your use of the App and of anything we operate, and our Privacy Policy still applies.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority where you live, to use the App.

What CLIENT is — and what it is not

VpnHood! CLIENT is VPN software, not a VPN service. It includes no VPN servers or access key. You provide an access key and choose the server and operator to which the App connects.

Except where an access key expressly identifies a service operated by us, we do not operate, control, endorse, or monitor the server you choose.
The server operator necessarily receives your connection and may be able to observe your source IP address, connection times, traffic totals, and traffic that is not separately encrypted. Its terms and privacy policy apply to its service.
We are not responsible for a third-party server’s availability, security, content, conduct, or handling of your data. You should use an access key only from an operator you trust.

We may update the App and change or discontinue features that rely on infrastructure we control. We do not promise to support every device, operating-system version, server, protocol, or access key indefinitely.

Licence and ownership

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use an official build of the App on devices you own or control, for personal or internal business use and in accordance with the rules of the platform from which you obtained it.

The VpnHood engine is open-source software licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1. That licence, and the licences identified for other open-source components, govern those components and are not restricted by these Terms. These Terms govern our official builds, services, names, logos, and other material not covered by an open-source licence.

You may not, except where an open-source licence or applicable law permits it:

copy, sell, sublicense, redistribute, or commercially exploit an official build;
remove or alter proprietary notices from an official build;
use our name or branding in a way that suggests an unofficial build or service is ours; or
interfere with, bypass, or defeat security or access controls in the App or our infrastructure.

You may modify, recompile, white-label, and redistribute a source-built version under a different brand, including commercially, as permitted by and subject to the applicable open-source licences. Those licences do not grant rights to our trademarks or branding: without our written permission, you may not present that version as our official product or imply that we sponsor or endorse it. These Terms still apply to any service we operate that you access through it.

Acceptable use

You are responsible for your use of the App, the access keys you add, and the traffic you send. You must comply with applicable law and with the terms of your device platform, network provider, and chosen VPN server operator. You must not use the App to:

break the law or help another person break the law;
distribute malware, spam, or unsolicited bulk communications;
attack, scan, disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to a device, network, account, or service;
infringe intellectual-property, privacy, or other rights; or
harass, threaten, exploit, or harm another person.

We may restrict access to features or infrastructure we control when reasonably necessary to stop abuse, protect users or systems, comply with law, or enforce these Terms. A third-party server operator applies its own enforcement rules to its service.

VPN limitations

A VPN can protect traffic between your device and the VPN server, but it does not make you anonymous or make every connection secure. Websites and services may still identify you through accounts, cookies, device information, or other means. The App cannot protect traffic you exclude from the VPN, traffic outside the VPN tunnel, a compromised device, or information you choose to share. You are responsible for deciding whether the App and the server you selected are suitable and lawful for your needs and location.

No warranty

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available,” with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App or any server will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, lawful in your location, or suitable for a particular purpose, or that any site or service will be reachable.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our affiliates, officers, employees, agents, developers, contributors, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to the App. This includes loss caused by a third-party server or access key you chose.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the App will be zero where the App was provided free of charge.

These limits do not apply to fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limits, so some of this section may not apply to you.

Suspension, termination, and changes

You may end these Terms at any time by stopping use of and uninstalling the App. We may suspend or end access to infrastructure we control if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue that infrastructure. Provisions that by their nature should survive will do so, including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law.

We may update these Terms when the App, law, or our business changes. We will post the updated Terms and change the Effective date. Where required by law, we will give additional notice before a material change takes effect. Changes apply prospectively. If you do not agree to an update, you must stop using the App.

Export and sanctions compliance

You represent that you are not located in a country or region subject to a comprehensive U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on a U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You must not export, re-export, or use the App in violation of U.S. export-control or sanctions laws or the applicable laws of the place where you obtained or use it, including for any prohibited end use.

Governing law and general terms

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any consumer right to bring a claim elsewhere, the state and federal courts in Los Angeles County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the App. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction whose mandatory laws give you additional rights or require a different law or forum, those mandatory rules remain unaffected.

If any provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms and the documents they expressly incorporate are the entire agreement about the App, except for any terms that cannot be superseded under applicable law or an open-source licence.
