Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 2026-05-24

1. Acceptance of terms

By downloading, installing or using the Pausix mobile application or this website (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of the Service

Pausix is a network speed limiter that uses a local VPN-style approach to rate-limit traffic on your device. It is intended for personal, development and quality-assurance use cases such as simulating slow networks, reducing bandwidth usage and testing app behavior.

3. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Pausix on devices you own or control. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the Service except where such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

Violate any applicable law, regulation or third-party right.
Interfere with networks you do not own or are not authorised to administer.
Circumvent or interfere with usage limits, parental controls, employer policies or other legitimate restrictions placed on a device.
Distribute malware, conduct attacks against any system, or otherwise misuse the Service in a way that may harm others.
Misrepresent the Service or its capabilities to other users.

5. Platform limitations & no guarantee of speed

Pausix relies on operating-system VPN APIs to apply throttling on-device. Its effectiveness depends on the platform, the device, the network and the behavior of the apps generating traffic. In particular:

Current builds of the throttling engine apply rate-limits to IPv4 UDP and TCP payload traffic; IPv6 and ICMP flows are dropped while the engine is active.
iOS support may be limited or in development, and specific iOS builds may operate in a session-only mode without real packet-level throttling.
Measured throughput may differ from the configured limit due to packet bursts, protocol overhead, retransmissions and other factors outside the app’s control.
No guarantee is made that Pausix will limit every protocol, every app or every connection on your device.

6. User responsibility

You are responsible for how you use the Service and for ensuring that your use complies with applicable law and with any policies (for example, employer or institutional policies) that apply to the device or network on which you run the Service. You are responsible for any data charges your mobile carrier may impose.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Pausix, its developers or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service. Where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, our aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid (if any) for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the liability.

9. Third-party services and app stores

Pausix may be distributed through third-party app stores (such as Google Play or the Apple App Store). Your use of the Service obtained through any such store is also subject to that store’s terms. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of those third parties.

10. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify, suspend or discontinue parts of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at the developer’s primary place of business, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Nothing in these Terms affects mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.
