Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 9 October 2026

These terms govern your use of the Wharf app ("the App"). The Mac App Store edition is published by TOCLOCO LTD; copies bought on wharf-app.com are sold by TOCLOCO Inc., a Delaware corporation. Either company, as the seller of your copy, is "we", "us" and "our". By downloading or using the App, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

1. Your licence to use Wharf

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control.

If you got the App from the Mac App Store, the Apple Standard End User Licence Agreement also applies to your use of it.

If you bought the App on wharf-app.com, your license key is for you personally, on any number of Macs that you own or control. Please don't share or publish it. A license covers the App and its updates.

2. Purchases

Mac App Store. All purchases, prices, payment, and refunds are handled by Apple under its terms; we do not process payments or store payment details. Any refund requests are subject to Apple's policies.

wharf-app.com. The App can be downloaded and used free for 14 days. After that, connecting to servers requires a license, which costs $9.99 (plus any sales tax or VAT shown at checkout) as a one-off payment. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card details. Your license key is emailed to the address you give at checkout. If you're not happy with the App, email support@tocloco.com within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. This does not affect any right to a refund you have under consumer law.

3. Your servers and your files

The App connects to servers that you specify. You are responsible for ensuring you are authorised to access those servers and to transfer, modify or delete the files on them. You are responsible for your own credentials and for keeping your own backups. We have no access to your servers, your credentials or your files, and cannot recover anything for you.

4. Transfers, synchronisation and deletion

The App can overwrite and delete files, both on your Mac and on the servers you connect to. Synchronisation shows you what it intends to do before it acts, and propagating deletions must be enabled by you explicitly. Even so, these are powerful operations and you use them at your own risk. Check the plan before confirming it, and keep backups of anything you cannot afford to lose.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the App, including attempting to copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or redistribute it except as permitted by law, or using it to access any system you are not authorised to access, or to break any applicable law.

6. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the App working well but provide it "as is". Features may change, and we may update, suspend, or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time. The App depends on servers and networks operated by others; their availability is not within our control.

7. Third-party components

The App includes open-source software, used under its own licence terms: libssh2 (BSD-3-Clause) and OpenSSL (Apache-2.0), and in the edition sold on wharf-app.com, Sparkle (MIT). Those components are provided by their authors without warranty.

8. Disclaimer & liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss of data. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud). Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.

9. Governing law

For the Mac App Store edition, these terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. For copies bought on wharf-app.com, these terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA. In either case, mandatory local consumer law where you live still applies.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always be posted here with its date. Continuing to use the App after changes means you accept the updated terms.
