Last updated: December 28, 2025

Please read these Terms carefully before using Smart Streamer (the “Service”).


1. Definitions

Company (“We”, “Us”, “Our”) refers to HowlingCoder.

Service refers to Smart Streamer (also known as “hc-smart-streamer”), a Streamlabs application that integrates Home Assistant with Streamlabs.

You means the individual or entity using the Service.


2. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Service, You agree to be bound by these Terms. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. If You do not agree with any part of these Terms, You may not use the Service.


3. Service Requirements

The Service requires:

  • An active Streamlabs Ultra subscription (maintained directly with Streamlabs)
  • Your own Home Assistant instance with valid access tokens
  • A Streamlabs account

 

The Company does not provide, host, or manage Your Home Assistant instance, streaming accounts, or Streamlabs Ultra subscription. If Your Streamlabs Ultra subscription expires, access to the Service will be unavailable until renewed.


4. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining Your Streamlabs Ultra subscription
  • Securing and managing Your Home Assistant credentials
  • Ensuring that automations triggered through the Service are safe, lawful, and appropriate
  • Complying with all applicable laws and third-party service terms
  • Not using the Service to cause harm or violate laws

 

All Home Assistant credentials are stored locally within Your Streamlabs settings. The Company does not have access to Your credentials beyond what is technically necessary for the Service to function.


5. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with Home Assistant, Streamlabs, and various streaming platforms. These are third-party services outside the Company’s control. You acknowledge that the Company is not responsible for:

  • Unavailability, malfunction, or downtime of third-party services
  • Changes to third-party APIs that affect Service functionality
  • Security breaches or unauthorized access to Your Home Assistant instance
  • Damage, loss, or unintended behavior resulting from automations triggered through the Service
  • Malfunction or misconfiguration of smart home devices controlled through the Service

 

The Company does not guarantee continued compatibility with any version of Home Assistant, Streamlabs, or streaming platforms.


6. Telemetry and Error Reporting

When an error occurs, the Service may send diagnostic information (“Telemetry Data”) to the Company’s error-tracking provider (currently Bugsnag). Telemetry Data may include:

  • Technical information about the error
  • Application state at the time of the error
  • Your Streamlabs username (if provided by Streamlabs)


The Service is designed not to transmit Home Assistant access tokens or other sensitive credentials. However, You are responsible for ensuring that Your configuration does not include sensitive information in fields that may be included in error logs.

For details on how Telemetry Data is handled, please refer to the Privacy Policy.


7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind. The Company disclaims all express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. The Company does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or meet Your requirements.


8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company’s total liability is limited to the amount You paid directly to the Company for the Service, or $100 USD if no payment was made.

The Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or property damage, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some exclusions may not apply to You.


9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate Your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, including for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, Your right to use the Service ends immediately.


10. Proprietary Rights

The Service is proprietary software developed by HowlingCoder and licensed for use solely within Streamlabs. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or reverse engineer the Service without prior written permission.


11. Modifications

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time. We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated at least 30 days in advance. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.


12. Severability

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


13. No Waiver

Failure by the Company to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision.


14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Hessen, Germany, excluding conflict-of-law rules.
