Terms of Service

I Love Doc (“I Love Doc”, “we”, “us”) operates ilovedoc.org (the “Service”) — a website that transfers files directly from one web browser to another. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You also confirm that you are legally able to form a binding contract, and — where required by the law that applies to you — that you have the consent of a parent or guardian.

I Love Doc moves files directly between two browsers over an encrypted WebRTC connection. Our servers coordinate the connection — they issue a share link and code, verify the parties to each other, and help the two browsers find a direct route. The file data itself travels between the two devices and, in the normal (direct) case, never passes through our servers. Where a network blocks direct connections, traffic may be relayed through an encrypted relay; the app always labels when that happens.

Sessions, not storage

A transfer is a temporary session between two online browsers. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud drive, and there is no file archive to log into later.

Limits

Up to 200 files per transfer and up to 10 TB per file. Multi-file downloads are bundled as a ZIP archive, which is limited to under 4 GB by the ZIP format itself.

Expiry

You choose how long a share link stays valid: 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours (the default), 3 days, or 7 days. After that the link and its 6-digit code stop working and cannot be revived.

Download limits

A sender can cap how many times a transfer can be received (1 to 10 times, 5 by default).

Optional password

Senders may protect a transfer with a password. Passwords are stored only as a salted scrypt hash — we never see the plaintext after it leaves your browser.

Because transfers happen live between browsers, the sender must keep their tab open and their device awake for the duration of the transfer. If the sender goes offline, the transfer stops — there is no server copy to resume from.

The Service requires no registration, no email address, and no profile. A transfer is identified only by its share link and 6-digit code. This also means anyone who has the link, the code, and (if set) the password can receive the files — treat your share link like a physical key. If a link falls into the wrong hands, your options are to let it expire, or to cancel the transfer from the sender’s browser while it is still live.

You retain all rights to everything you send. We claim no license to your content — we cannot, in the normal case, because your files never reach our servers in the first place.

You are responsible for having the right to share the files you send, and for whatever you send happening to be legal to share in the jurisdictions of both parties.

The Service may only be used for lawful purposes. You agree not to use it to send, request, or distribute:

• content that infringes anyone’s copyright or other intellectual property (see our DMCA & Copyright Policy);
• malware, ransomware, or other harmful code;
• any material that sexually exploits or endangers minors;
• content that constitutes harassment, threats, doxxing, or incitement to violence;
• classified or controlled data you are not authorized to transmit; or
• anything whose transfer violates applicable export-control or sanctions law.

You also agree not to interfere with the Service itself — no attempts to overload it, scrape it at scale, probe for vulnerabilities without authorization, or circumvent rate limits.

What we do about violations

• terminate or expire sessions and share links we become aware of;
• block devices or network addresses from using the Service;
• preserve and disclose session metadata where required by law; and
• report apparent criminal activity to the relevant authorities.

This has consequences you should understand before relying on the Service:

• No recovery. If a transfer is interrupted and the link has expired, or the sender’s browser is gone, the files cannot be retrieved through us. Keep your own copies of anything important.
• No delivery guarantee. The Service coordinates; the internet does the carrying. We cannot promise a given network will allow a direct connection or that a transfer will complete.
• Verification, not inspection. Both browsers compute a SHA-256 hash of each file and compare them, so you know the copy matches the original. We never see the file or its hash on the server.

Connecting two browsers across the internet uses standard WebRTC infrastructure: public STUN servers (operated by Google and Cloudflare) help browsers discover each other’s addresses, and — only when a direct connection fails — an encrypted TURN relay operated by us or a provider we choose may carry the encrypted traffic. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies. The relay can see encrypted traffic and forwarding metadata, but cannot read file contents. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

The Service is provided on an as-available basis. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of it at any time — including these limits and features — and we may do so without individual notice. Material changes to the Service or these Terms will be reflected on this page with a new “last updated” date.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied — including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that transfers will always complete or remain private in circumstances outside our control. We do not monitor, verify, or endorse the content users transfer.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I Love Doc and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Service. Because the Service is provided free of charge, our aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you have paid us for the Service — which is zero. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for willful misconduct or gross negligence where such limitation is prohibited.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend and indemnify I Love Doc against claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) arising from content you send, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the operator of the Service is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from the Service — except that either party may bring a claim in the courts of the country where they reside if mandatory consumer protection law of that country gives them that right.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect is the one published on this page with the most recent “last updated” date. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.
