IAPViewer Terms of Use

Effective Date: May 11, 2026
Last Updated: May 11, 2026

Summary: IAPViewer is a read-only administrative client for Aruba IAP clusters, provided as-is by an independent developer with no warranty and no guaranteed support. Use it only on networks you own or are authorised to administer. You accept these terms by installing or using the app.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the IAPViewer application ("the App") and the support resources at https://iapviewer.bdlfoundry.dev ("the Support Site"). By installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

1. What IAPViewer Is

IAPViewer is a read-only administrative client for HPE Aruba Networking Instant Access Point (Aruba IAP) Virtual Controller clusters running AOS 8 (versions 8.10–8.13). It connects to a Virtual Controller you own or are authorised to manage, reads operational data the controller has already collected, and presents it on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac (via "Designed for iPad").

The App is intended for Wi-Fi administrators, network professionals, and educational use by individuals working with their own Aruba IAP deployments.

2. Authorised Use Only

You may use the App only to monitor and administer Aruba IAP networks that you:

Own; or
Have explicit written or contractual authorisation to administer; or
Are testing in a lab environment that you own or operate.

Use of the App against networks or controllers without proper authorisation is prohibited.

The App may surface information about neighbouring (non-cluster) Wi-Fi networks that your own Aruba access points have detected as part of their normal RF scanning. This is data the Aruba Virtual Controller has already collected from its own access points, retrieved via Aruba's documented REST API. You agree to use this neighbour information only for lawful purposes, including RF planning, interference diagnosis, and assessing the RF environment of networks you administer.

You are responsible for compliance with all applicable local, regional, and national laws governing radio observation, network monitoring, and cybersecurity activity in your jurisdiction. Laws vary significantly between jurisdictions. IAPViewer cannot determine what is lawful in your location.

3. What IAPViewer Does Not Do

For clarity:

IAPViewer does not perform independent Wi-Fi scanning, packet capture, monitor-mode reception, or deep packet inspection
IAPViewer does not transmit deauthentication frames, association attempts, probe responses, or any active reconnaissance against networks it is not authorised to administer
IAPViewer does not attempt to bypass authentication, exploit vulnerabilities, or otherwise compromise networks or devices
IAPViewer does not automatically share, upload, or publish any observation data

All data the App displays originates from your own Aruba Virtual Controller's existing observation capabilities, accessed via Aruba's documented REST API. See the Privacy Policy for full detail on what data the App handles and where it goes.

4. User Responsibilities

You agree:

To use credentials and access only as authorised by the network owner
Not to use the App to perform surveillance, reconnaissance, or attacks against third-party networks
Not to reverse engineer the App or attempt to circumvent its security features or intended use
Not to use undocumented Aruba REST API endpoints, exploit firmware vulnerabilities, or extract data from the App for unlawful purposes
To accept responsibility for any operational decisions or actions you take based on data the App displays

5. No Warranty

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer disclaims all warranties including:

Fitness for a particular purpose
Merchantability
Non-infringement
Accuracy or completeness of any data displayed
Continuous availability or freedom from defects
Compatibility with any particular Aruba firmware version, hardware model, or configuration

Note: The App is developed and maintained as an independent project by a single developer. There is no service-level agreement, no guaranteed support, and no commitment to release updates, fixes, or new features on any timeline. Support is best-effort, as described on the Support page.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever — including direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — arising from or related to:

Your use of, or inability to use, the App
Any data the App displays, omits, or misrepresents
Operational, configuration, or security decisions you make based on what the App displays
Network downtime, data loss, security incidents, or third-party claims arising from your use of the App
Any reliance you place on output produced by the App

This limitation applies even if the developer has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages. In those jurisdictions, the above limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

Your use of the App
Your violation of these Terms
Your violation of any applicable law
Your violation of any third party's rights, including network operators whose networks you observed without authorisation

8. Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

The App is not a substitute for a professional Wi-Fi survey, security assessment, penetration test, or compliance audit. Any operational or security decisions you make based on the App's output are your own responsibility.

9. Modifications

The developer may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Support Site. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the App after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

The developer may modify, discontinue, or remove any feature of the App or the Support Site at any time without notice.

10. Apple App Store

If you obtained the App through Apple's App Store or TestFlight:

Apple is not a party to these Terms and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App
These Terms are between you and the developer, not between you and Apple
Apple's own Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce them against you

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Connecticut, except where prohibited by applicable consumer protection law.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

13. Contact

Questions about these Terms or about the App can be raised via the Support page or by email.

Typical response time: 1–2 weeks for non-critical issues
