LightCam End User License Agreement
License terms for LightCam software, firmware, and app.
LightCam End User License Agreement
This agreement covers only the software, firmware, and companion app that power your LightCam. For all privacy and data handling rules, see our Privacy Policy.
You own the hardware
You own your LightCam device. We grant you a license to use the software that runs it.
License grant
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the LightCam software, firmware, and app solely with your own device for personal, non-commercial home use.
What you can and cannot do
You can
- Use the software and app with your LightCam as intended
- Install the app on your personal phones/tablets
- Receive and install updates
You cannot
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or modify the software
- Copy, rent, sell, or sublicense it
- Use it for any commercial purpose or surveillance service
- Remove or alter copyright or trademark notices
Automatic updates
Firmware and app updates install automatically to improve security, fix bugs, and add features. You can disable non-critical updates in settings, but we strongly recommend keeping automatic security updates enabled.
LightCam Plus subscriptions
LightCam Plus is a paid subscription. Where you buy it decides who bills you, and who you cancel with.
If you subscribe in the LightCam app on an iPhone or iPad, Apple bills you. The charge goes to your Apple ID at the moment you confirm the purchase, and it renews automatically every month at $9.99 unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. You cancel it in your Apple ID settings — Settings on your device, tap your name, then Subscriptions. We cannot cancel it for you, and we cannot refund it; refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple.
If you subscribe at lightcam.com, we bill you directly through our payment processor (Stripe), and your subscription renews automatically every month at $9.99 until you cancel. You cancel with us, at lightcam.com (the app's Settings → LightCam Plus screen links to it under MANAGE SUBSCRIPTION) or by emailing support@lightcam.com. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you've paid for.
A new LightCam account gets one 90-day Plus trial, with no card required, starting when its first camera is set up. If you subscribe through the App Store after that trial has ended, billing begins right away — there is no second free period.
Either way, cancelling never locks you out of your cameras. You move to the free plan and keep live view, person-detection alerts, and every device on your account.
Full subscription terms are at Subscription Terms.
Ownership of the software
We (or our licensors) own all rights to the software, firmware, and app. This license does not transfer ownership — it only allows you to use them as described.
Disclaimers
LightCam is provided “as is.” We do not guarantee it will detect every event, prevent every incident, or work perfectly in every condition. No security product can provide absolute protection.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for your LightCam device (or the most recent 12 months of subscription fees, if higher). We are not responsible for indirect, consequential, or special damages.
Termination
You may stop using the software at any time. We may terminate this license if you violate these terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the software.
Governing law
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
Entire agreement
This document, together with the separate Privacy Policy, constitutes the complete agreement between you and us.
