These Terms & Conditions (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the website and APT package repository available at deb.griffo.io (also reachable as debian.griffo.io) and any related services (together, the "Service"), operated by Dario Griffo ("I", "me" or "my"). By accessing, installing from, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. About the Service
The Service is an unofficial APT repository. It takes existing
third-party software — the "Upstream Software" — and rebuilds and redistributes it
as Debian and Ubuntu packages (the "Packages") so that it can be installed and kept
up to date through apt.
The Service is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Debian, Ubuntu, Canonical, or any of the authors or projects whose software is packaged. All product names, logos and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.
2. Third-party software — I only distribute other people's work
Every Package distributed through the Service is the work of its respective authors and copyright holders. I do not write, own, control or endorse the Upstream Software; I merely repackage it in a convenient format.
- Each Package remains subject to its own upstream licence. Your use of any Package is governed by that licence, and by installing or using a Package you agree to comply with it.
- I make no representation as to the origin, quality, safety, security, functionality, legality or fitness of the Upstream Software.
- Any trademarks, names or branding contained in a Package belong to their respective owners.
3. No warranty
The Service and all Packages are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This includes, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or that the Service or any Package will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
You are solely responsible for evaluating a Package's suitability for your purposes, for testing it, and for maintaining appropriate backups and safeguards before use.
4. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Dario Griffo shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, business, goodwill, or for any system damage or downtime, arising out of or in connection with:
- your use of, or inability to use, the Service or any Package;
- any defect, bug, vulnerability or malicious code in the Upstream Software or a Package;
- any act or omission of an upstream author or third party; or
- any interruption, suspension, modification or discontinuation of the Service.
You use the Service and any Package entirely at your own risk. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including any statutory rights you may have as a consumer, which are not affected by these Terms.
5. Your responsibilities
- Comply with the applicable upstream licence of every Package you install or use.
- Comply with all laws and regulations that apply to you, including any export or usage restrictions on the Upstream Software.
- Do not use the Service to infringe the rights of any third party or for any unlawful purpose.
- Do not attempt to disrupt, abuse, or gain unauthorised access to the Service or its infrastructure.
6. Access, subscriptions and payment
Some access to the Service is or will be provided on a paid subscription
basis (for example, from 1 October 2026 continued apt access
requires an active subscription). Where payment applies:
- Subscription fees are processed by a third-party payment provider (Stripe). Your use of that provider is subject to its own terms and privacy policy.
- A subscription grants you access to the Service only. It does not transfer to you any ownership of, or additional rights in, the Upstream Software, which remains governed by its own licence.
- The subscription fee is a contribution towards the hosting and maintenance of the Service and is not a purchase price for the Upstream Software.
7. Availability and changes to the Service
The Service is provided on a best-effort basis. I do not guarantee any level of availability, uptime, or continued distribution of any particular Package, and I may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service (including any Package) at any time and without notice.
8. Intellectual property and takedown requests
I respect the rights of copyright and trademark holders. If you are a rights holder and believe that a Package infringes your rights or should not be distributed, please contact me (see below) and I will review and, where appropriate, remove the material promptly.
9. Changes to these Terms
I may update these Terms from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date, and your continued use of the Service after any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
10. Governing law
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Portugal, and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Portuguese courts, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rights available to you under the law of your country of residence.
