1. operator & authority

drift ("service") is provided by roberta gorczany, 558 w van buren st, chicago, illinois 60607, united states ("operator", "we", "us", or "our"). the operator is the legal contracting party for these terms. if the founder or developer is a minor, the service is operated through roberta gorczany as the authorized adult representative and legally responsible contracting party. you must have the legal capacity to enter this agreement. if you are under 18, you represent that you have parental or guardian consent.

2. acceptance & license

by clicking “i agree,” downloading the service after accepting these terms, or using the service, you accept these terms. drift is currently provided free of charge unless a paid feature, subscription, or license is separately offered and accepted by you. we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use service for personal, non-commercial use on a single authorized device. we may offer paid features, subscriptions, licenses, or other paid access in the future. any paid terms will be disclosed before you are charged. continued use of free features does not entitle you to future paid features for free.

3. ownership & technical information

we own all rights, title, and interest in service, including "technical information" (source/object code, algorithms, architecture, protocols, file formats, license systems, hwid/device checks, security/anti-abuse mechanisms, and implementation details). to the maximum extent permitted by law, technical information remains confidential and proprietary even if discovered, inferred, or observed through use.

4. prohibitions

you agree not to, and not to assist, authorize, permit, or encourage any third party to:

• copy, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works, redistribute, resell, sublicense, host, or mirror service.
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, decode, deobfuscate, unpack, emulate, or reconstruct any technical information.
• use debuggers, disassemblers, sniffers, packet capture tools, memory analyzers, hex editors, binary patchers, static/dynamic analysis tools, tracing tools, instrumentation tools, interception tools, sandboxes, containers, virtual machines, or monitored environments for analysis, inspection, or bypassing.
• bypass, circumvent, or disable license verification, hwid/device checks, authentication, authorization, access controls, rate limits, or technical protection measures.
• use information obtained from service or from any analysis of service to build, train, support, benchmark, clone, or assist any competing product or service.

5. non-waivable legal rights, interoperability & error reports

nothing in these terms restricts rights that cannot be waived or limited by contract under applicable law.

we do not authorize reverse engineering, decompilation, modification, debugging, circumvention, or self-help bug fixing. if you believe the service contains an error, compatibility issue, accessibility issue, interoperability issue, privacy issue, or security issue, you must report it to us through the official contact channels. we decide whether, when, and how to investigate, mitigate, or fix issues.

any activity that is expressly protected by non-waivable applicable law is permitted only to the minimum extent required by that law, only for the legally protected purpose, only after all legal conditions are satisfied, and only where the relevant information is not otherwise readily available through lawful means.

no legally protected activity grants permission to access source code, backend systems, private apis, signing keys, license systems, hwid/device checks, authentication systems, authorization systems, third-party data, accounts, secrets, anti-abuse systems, telemetry systems, or security mechanisms beyond what law expressly requires.

legally protected activity is not authorized for license bypassing, security bypassing, competitive analysis, cloning, public disclosure, commercial exploitation, or use against us, our users, or the service.

interoperability requests must be sent to legal@kfcclient.com and must identify the independently created program, the specific interoperability information requested, and why the information is indispensable. we may provide lawful interoperability information where required by non-waivable law, but we do not authorize reverse engineering, decompilation, or circumvention unless and only to the extent non-waivable law expressly requires it.

error reports must be sent through official support or legal channels. reporting an error, license issue, authentication issue, compatibility issue, crash, or bug does not authorize you to decompile, modify, patch, debug, inspect, bypass, or analyze the service. if non-waivable law gives you a specific right despite this restriction, that right is limited to the minimum legally required acts and does not authorize disclosure, redistribution, circumvention, or access to protected systems or technical information.

6. security reporting and authorization

we welcome vulnerability reports to security@kfcclient.com.

this section does not authorize security research, penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, fuzzing, exploitation, interception, reverse engineering, debugging, sandboxing, virtualization, instrumentation, license bypassing, security bypassing, or circumvention.

active testing requires prior written authorization from the operator or an expressly authorized security representative. authorization must be explicit, specific to the test, and issued before testing begins. silence, delay, auto-replies, support messages, discord messages, informal comments, or failure to respond do not constitute authorization.

you must not access data that does not belong to you, disrupt the service, degrade availability, bypass license or security controls, disclose findings publicly, retain confidential technical information, or provide bypass instructions, exploit code, circumvention methods, or technical details to others.

7. privacy & data requests

privacy rights don't authorize reverse engineering or technical analysis. transparency is provided through official privacy channels without disclosing trade secrets or security logic. if you believe our response is inadequate, contact us again or the data authority rather than analyzing the software.

8. termination

we may suspend or terminate access for terms violations, abuse, or unauthorized analysis. upon termination, all licenses cease and you must destroy all copies of service. we may retain certain records for security and compliance.

9. liability, remedies & law

to the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available.”

to the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for claims arising out of or relating to the service or these terms will not exceed the amount you paid for the service in the 12 months before the claim. because the service is currently free, this amount will usually be $0.

the liability cap above applies only to claims against us. it does not limit your liability for: reverse engineering; decompilation; unauthorized analysis; license bypassing; security bypassing; circumvention of technical protection measures; unauthorized access; misuse of the service; infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property; breach of confidentiality or misuse of technical information; public disclosure of vulnerabilities or technical information; fraud; willful misconduct; or any other liability that cannot be limited by law.

nothing in these terms limits our right to seek injunctive relief, equitable relief, statutory damages, actual damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, or any other remedy available under contract, intellectual property, trade secret, anti-circumvention, computer misuse, unfair competition, or other applicable law.

these terms are governed by the laws of illinois, usa, excluding conflict-of-law rules. disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in cook county, illinois, unless mandatory consumer protection, privacy, or local law requires another forum. nothing here limits non-waivable consumer rights.

10. severability & injunction

invalid parts will be reformed or severed; the rest stays in effect. we may seek injunctive relief for breaches of section 3 or 4.
