Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-06-12

TraceIP is a network discovery and connectivity diagnostics tool (device scanning, ping, traceroute, Wi-Fi analysis, Wake-on-LAN, Internet speed test). By installing or using the app, you agree to these terms.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age required for valid consent under the laws of your country, to use TraceIP. If you are below that age, you may use the app only with the consent and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

License

Subject to your compliance with these terms, the provider grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use TraceIP on devices you own or control, solely for lawful network discovery and connectivity diagnostics. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the provider.

App Store Terms

If you obtain TraceIP through a third-party platform such as the Apple App Store or Google Play, that platform's own terms additionally apply to your download and use of the app. The platform is not a party to these terms and is not responsible for the app, its content, support, or any claims arising from its use, except to the extent its own terms expressly require.

Advertising

The free version of TraceIP may display banner advertising provided by Google AdMob and offers the option to voluntarily watch rewarded video ads to support the developer. Rewarded video ads are always opt-in: they are shown only when you actively choose to watch one, never automatically. Advertising is subject to the privacy choices and disclosures described in the Privacy Policy. You may not manipulate, automate, or fraudulently interact with ads.

Authorized Use Only

Use TraceIP only on networks you own or are authorized to inspect, and only against hosts you are permitted to probe. Send Wake-on-LAN packets only to devices you own or are authorized to manage.

Some company, school, hotel, public, or managed networks may have rules that restrict scanning, pinging, or tracing. You are responsible for using the app only where it is allowed. Diagnostics against public Internet hosts (such as public DNS resolvers) are generally acceptable, but local laws or acceptable-use policies may still apply.

No Misuse

You may not use TraceIP on networks, systems, or devices you do not own or are not expressly authorised to inspect, or to disrupt, attack, gain unauthorised access to, surveil, or otherwise interfere with any network, system, device, or person. You may not use the app to violate any applicable law, regulation, third-party right, or acceptable-use policy, or to engage in any deceptive, abusive, or harmful activity. The examples named in these terms are illustrative and not exhaustive.

Export Controls and Sanctions

You may not use, export, re-export, transfer, or make TraceIP available in violation of any applicable export-control, sanctions, or trade laws of Austria, the European Union, the United States, or any other jurisdiction with authority over you or the app.

No Guarantee

TraceIP does not guarantee that every device, service, or intermediate router will be found or correctly identified. Results may be incomplete or inaccurate depending on network conditions, device behavior, firewalls, operating system restrictions, and permissions.

Speed test results are estimates and may differ from the speeds contractually promised by your Internet provider. A speed test deliberately transfers data at the highest achievable rate and may use a significant amount of data; you are responsible for any data charges, especially on metered or mobile connections.

TraceIP does not replace professional security advice.

Disclaimer of Warranty

TraceIP is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted operation. Use of the app is at your own risk.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, profit, or other intangible losses arising out of or in connection with your use of the app, your inability to use the app, or any conduct or content of any third party in connection with the app, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Mandatory statutory liability under Austrian law — in particular for personal injury, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct — remains unaffected by this clause.

Termination

You may stop using TraceIP and uninstall it at any time. The provider may discontinue or modify the app at any time without notice.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Austria, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms is, to the extent permitted by law, the competent court for 8010 Graz, Austria.

Mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country in which you are habitually resident remain unaffected.

Changes to these Terms

These terms may be updated to reflect changes in the app or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the latest revision took effect. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
