Terms of use
These are the house rules for TorentMac. They're short because the site is simple: a catalogue anyone can browse, plus optional free accounts for favourites, update notices and comments. Using the site means you accept what's below. If you don't, the fair thing is not to use it.
Other people's software
Every program listed here belongs to someone else. Names, logos and trademarks are the property of their owners, and I use them only to say what a page is about. Links out to developers' sites go to pages I don't control. If an app misbehaves, needs a licence or has a bug, the developer is the one who supports it, not me. My notes describe the software; they don't make me answerable for it.
Comments and moderation
Every comment is read before it appears. I can decline a comment, or remove one that was approved earlier, and I won't get into a debate about it. The usual reasons are dull ones: off-topic, rude, advertising, asking for cracks or serial numbers, or links I can't vouch for. A useful comment is one that adds something to the page: a fix you found, a version that did or didn't work on your Mac, an install step I missed. Those are the ones that get through.
Copyright in the site
The descriptions, install notes and other writing on TorentMac are mine. Quoting a line or two with a link back is fine. Copying whole pages, or scraping the catalogue to republish somewhere else, is not.
Questions about these terms
Email [email protected]. If a rule here is unclear or looks wrong, tell me which one and why. I'd rather fix the wording than have people guess what it means.
No guarantees
The catalogue is information and personal notes from someone who maintains Macs for a living. Compatibility lines and install notes reflect what I knew when the page was written. They are not a promise that a program will run on your particular Mac, with your macOS version, your other software and your settings. Back up before installing anything that touches system files. What you install, and what happens afterwards, is your call and your responsibility.
Changes
These terms change when the site changes. The current version is always this page, and there's no separate archive. Carrying on using the site after an edit means you accept the new wording.
Accounts
One account per person. Use a real email address that you actually read; it's how you'd prove the account is yours if you ever ask me to delete it. Keep your password to yourself, because anything posted from your account is treated as posted by you. Shared accounts, or ones registered with a throwaway address, may be closed.
