Terms of Use for TuneBrowser

TuneBrowser is a software developed by me, Tiki, as my personal activity, and I open it to the public in the hope that other people can use it. Therefore, TuneBrowser does not provide the functions for PC beginners or paid support that other commercial softwares are providing. In order to use TuneBrowser, you need to have general skills in using PC (Windows) and knowledge of the devices connected to your PC.

I am not responsible for any loss caused by the use of TuneBrowser. TuneBrowser is always provided as an as-is application, and while I will do my best to address future problems and improvements upon request, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to do so.

Please be aware of this before using TuneBrowser.
