Last updated: August 27, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Phlix ("the App"), you ("you" or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms") and the Phlix Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App.

2. Description of the App

Phlix is an independent, third-party client application that allows you to browse, view, search, and download photo and video media stored on a Plex Media Server that you own, operate, or are otherwise authorized to access. The App connects to that server using Plex, Inc.'s publicly available application programming interfaces ("APIs"). The App is sold and distributed exclusively through the Apple App Store.

3. Third-Party App Disclaimer (Plex)

Phlix is an independent application and is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Plex, Inc. ("Plex"). Plex, the Plex Play logo, and Plex Media Server are trademarks of Plex GmbH and used under a license. The developer of Phlix is not an agent, partner, employee, or representative of Plex.

Phlix accesses Plex Media Server as "Interfacing Software" through Plex's publicly documented APIs in accordance with Plex's Terms of Service. Your use of Plex Media Server, your Plex account, and any Plex-provided services is governed solely by your agreement with Plex (see Plex's Terms of Service). The developer of Phlix is not responsible for, and provides no warranty regarding, Plex services, Plex APIs, the continued availability of either, or any changes Plex makes to either.

5. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and the Apple EULA, the developer grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the developer.

6. Restrictions

You agree that you will not, and will not authorize or permit any third party to:

7. User Content and Your Plex Server

The App displays media that is stored on your own Plex Media Server or on a Plex Media Server you have been authorized to access. The developer does not host, store, monitor, control, review, screen, or have access to any of that content. You are solely responsible for:

The developer takes no position on, and accepts no responsibility for, the content you access through your Plex Media Server.

8. Account Security

The App relies on your Plex account credentials, which are stored locally on your device in the iOS Keychain. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of those credentials and for all activity that occurs in connection with them.

9. Intellectual Property

The App, including all software, source code, object code, designs, graphics, branding (excluding Plex trademarks and other third-party trademarks), text, and documentation, is owned by the developer or its licensors and is protected by United States and international intellectual-property laws. No rights are granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise except as expressly set forth in these Terms.

If you believe that content accessible through the App infringes a copyright you own or control, please direct your notice to the operator of the Plex Media Server on which the content is stored. The developer does not host, control, or have any ability to remove user content.

10. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services and platforms, including the Apple App Store, iOS, AirPlay, and Plex Media Server and Plex APIs. The developer is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, functionality, or terms of any third-party service, and the developer makes no representation or warranty regarding any of them. Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer disclaims all warranties and conditions, express, implied, or statutory, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, and non-infringement.

The developer does not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components; that defects will be corrected; that the App will be compatible with your device, your Plex Media Server, or any future version of Plex's APIs; or that any content accessed through the App will be accurate, complete, or preserved.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from the developer or through the App shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the developer be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of (or inability to use) the App, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not the developer has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer's total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App, regardless of the cause of action or legal theory, shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid Apple for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) five United States dollars (US $5.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions the foregoing limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the developer and the developer's affiliates, officers, agents, and contractors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party, including intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights; (d) any content stored on or accessed through your Plex Media Server; or (e) your violation of Plex's or Apple's terms.

14. Apple-Specific Terms

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and the developer, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent any of these Terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA, the Apple Standard EULA shall apply to the extent of the conflict only. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. You and the developer acknowledge that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple shall have the right (and shall be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

15. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App and ceasing all use. The developer may suspend or terminate your license to the App immediately, without notice, if you breach these Terms. Sections 3, 6 through 14, and 16 through 21 survive any termination of these Terms.

16. Changes to the App and the Terms

The developer may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the App or any portion of it at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you. The developer may also revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 18, the exclusive venue for any action arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be the state or federal courts located in the State of California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

18. Informal Dispute Resolution

Before filing any claim against the developer, you agree to first contact the developer through the support page and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may pursue the dispute in the courts identified in Section 17.

19. Force Majeure

The developer is not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, third-party service outages (including Apple or Plex), or governmental action.

20. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Apple Standard EULA and the Phlix Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

21. No Waiver; Assignment

The developer's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without the developer's prior written consent. The developer may freely assign these Terms.
