The full terms are below. The plain-English box under each section is a summary, not a replacement — but I've tried hard to make them say the same thing.
Farglance is run by one person. Not a big company. If something goes wrong, you're emailing me directly.
These Terms govern your use of Farglance (the "Service") — including this website, the waitlist, the Golden 100 program, and any software or beta builds provided to you.
Farglance is operated by an individual sole proprietor based in Illinois, United States ("I", "me"). Contact: [email protected].
By joining the waitlist, purchasing a Golden Seat, or using any Farglance software, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
Farglance is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc., Ray-Ban, or EssilorLuxottica. "Meta Ray-Ban Display" is used only to describe the hardware Farglance is designed to work with.
It streams part of your computer screen to your glasses. It is not finished software. Treat it accordingly.
Farglance is software that lets you view and interact with regions of your own computer's screen on a Meta Ray-Ban Display, or in a web browser.
The Service is in pre-release development. Features described on this site are planned, not guaranteed. They may change, be delayed, or be removed entirely.
You must not rely on Farglance for anything critical.
Do not use it for medical monitoring, safety systems, financial decisions requiring guaranteed accuracy, or any situation where a dropped frame, a delayed update, or a failed connection could cause harm or loss.
The stream may lag, freeze, disconnect, or display stale information without warning. Assume it will, and don't put anything important downstream of it.
$100 reserves a seat, not a date. You can get it back any time until Farglance officially launches and leaves 100-tester mode — just email me. No reason required.
A Golden Seat is a $100 one-time payment that reserves one of the first 100 beta access slots and grants lifetime access to Farglance Pro features at no additional recurring cost, once the Service launches.
What $100 buys:
A reserved place in the first 100 beta testers · Lifetime Pro (you never pay the monthly subscription) · Direct input into what gets built · A badge in the app · Your name in the credits.
What $100 does NOT buy:
A guaranteed launch date. A guarantee that the Service will ever launch. A guarantee that any specific feature will exist.
Refund policy — read this, it's the important part:
Seat numbers are honest. The counter on the signup page reflects actual seats sold. It will not be inflated or manipulated to create urgency.
There's a real free tier. Pro is $9.99/month — but if you bought a Golden Seat, you never pay it.
A free tier will be available with meaningful functionality. Farglance Pro is intended to be $9.99 per month and will include relay connectivity, unlimited cards, smart alerts, and voice features.
Prices may change before launch. Golden Seat holders are exempt from subscription pricing permanently, regardless of what it ends up being.
Waitlist members who refer three friends who also complete signup receive 6 weeks of Farglance Pro at no charge following public launch, after which normal subscription pricing applies unless cancelled. The reward is redeemable only once the Service publicly launches, and only if you are yourself signed up on the waitlist. A referral counts only once the referred person completes signup. Members who don't refer three friends keep the free tier but not the Pro weeks. Referral rewards are a goodwill bonus and may be adjusted or withdrawn if abused (e.g. fake or self-referrals).
Joining after public launch? New members always get 3 weeks of Farglance Pro free to start, after which normal subscription pricing applies unless cancelled.
I cannot see your screen. It's encrypted end-to-end. Even when it passes through my servers, they're forwarding data they can't read.
Screen content streamed through Farglance is end-to-end encrypted between your computer and your viewing device.
When a direct connection isn't possible (common on café, hotel, and corporate networks), the stream is relayed through servers I operate. Those servers forward encrypted packets they cannot decrypt. I do not have the keys.
Screen content is never recorded, stored, logged, or transmitted to any third party.
Information about how I handle your email address, phone number, and payment details is in the Privacy Policy.
Don't use it to break the law, spy on people, or look at screens you have no right to look at.
You agree not to use Farglance to:
Discretion is a feature, and it comes with responsibility. Farglance is designed so that others may not notice you using it. That is not permission to use it where you shouldn't. Exams, workplaces, and secure facilities have rules — they are yours to follow, not mine to enforce.
I may suspend or terminate your access if I have reasonable grounds to believe you're violating these Terms. If I do so and you have an unactivated Golden Seat, you will be refunded.
Keep your login safe. Farglance won't damage your glasses, but I don't control Meta's hardware or software.
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account.
Farglance depends on hardware and platforms I do not control — including the Meta Ray-Ban Display, the Meta Neural Band, Meta's developer platform, and your own computer and network.
If Meta changes, restricts, or removes the capabilities Farglance depends on, the Service may stop working, in whole or in part. I'll tell you if that happens, and unactivated Golden Seats will be refunded.
The software is provided as-is. I'm not promising it works perfectly, because it's beta software and it won't.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
I do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that any defect will be corrected. You use it at your own risk.
If Farglance causes you a loss, the most I can be liable for is what you paid me — which is at most $100.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, I SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
MY TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE ACTUALLY PAID ME IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM — which, for most users, is $0, and at most is $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for certain damages. In those jurisdictions, my liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
The software is mine. Your screen content is yours — I claim nothing over it.
Farglance, its name, logo, software, and design are my intellectual property. Purchasing a Golden Seat grants you a licence to use the Service — it does not transfer ownership of anything.
You retain all rights to your own screen content. I claim no ownership, licence, or interest in anything you view or transmit through the Service.
If you send me feedback or feature suggestions, I may use them freely to improve Farglance without compensation or attribution. (Golden Seat holders: this is the point — I want your ideas.)
If I change anything that actually matters, I'll email you. I won't quietly rewrite it.
I may update these Terms as the Service develops. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the current version.
For any material change — anything affecting your refund rights, pricing, or how your data is handled — I will email everyone on the list before it takes effect.
If you don't agree to a change, stop using the Service. If you have an unactivated Golden Seat, you can request a full refund.
Illinois law applies. But email me first — almost everything can be sorted out in one message.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Before pursuing any formal dispute, please email me. [email protected]. I will respond. In practice, virtually every problem here is solved with a refund and an apology, and I would much rather do that.
Nothing in this section deprives you of the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence where consumer protection law grants you that right, or of any mandatory consumer rights available to you under local law.
One person, one inbox: [email protected]
For refunds, put "refund" in the subject line — those get answered first, always.
