SideInstaller

Terms of Service

Last updated: July 2026

By downloading, installing, or using SideInstaller (the "App"), or by using its source code, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1Nature of the App

SideInstaller is a free, community-driven tool that allows users to install and manage apps on their own iOS devices ("sideloading") using their own Apple ID and Apple's developer provisioning system. SideInstaller is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc. Apple, iOS, and Apple ID are trademarks of Apple Inc.

2Assumption of Risk

Sideloading relies on mechanisms that Apple does not officially support for this purpose and that Apple may change, restrict, or disable at any time. By using the App, you acknowledge and accept, among others, the following risks:

You use the App entirely at your own risk and on your own devices and accounts.

3Your Responsibilities

You agree that you are solely responsible for:

  1. Complying with all laws and regulations applicable in your jurisdiction;
  2. Complying with any agreements you have with Apple, including the Apple Media Services Terms and the Apple Developer Agreement, where applicable;
  3. Ensuring you have the right to install any software you sideload, and that such software is lawfully obtained;
  4. The security of your own Apple ID credentials and devices;
  5. Any consequences arising from apps you install, distribute, or use via the App, including piracy, copyright infringement, or violations of third-party terms.

The App must not be used for any unlawful purpose, including the installation or distribution of pirated software.

4No Warranty

THE APP AND ITS SOURCE CODE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY THE DEVELOPER OR COMMUNITY SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY.

5Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

EVEN IF THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE FULLY EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IT IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP, WHICH IS ZERO.

6Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer and contributors from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right, including any agreement between you and Apple.

7Privacy

SideInstaller processes your Apple ID credentials on-device solely to communicate with Apple's servers for provisioning. Credentials are not transmitted to, stored by, or accessible to the developer. See the project documentation for details.

8Changes and Termination

These Terms may be updated at any time; continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance. The developer may discontinue the App or any of its features at any time without notice or liability.

9Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
