Disclaimer
Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using GBWaves.net (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted everything set out below. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.
1. No Affiliation With Any App Developer or Brand
GBWaves.net is an independent, unofficial website. We are not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected to WhatsApp LLC, Meta Platforms, Inc., Google LLC, or any other company, developer, publisher, or trademark owner whose products may be mentioned on this Site.
All product names, brand names, logos, trademarks, and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners. They are used on this Site purely for identification, description, and reference purposes, and their use does not imply any endorsement or partnership.
The official WhatsApp application is available only from WhatsApp LLC through official channels such as the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store, and whatsapp.com. Any application described on this Site as “modified,” “unofficial,” or “third-party” is not the official application.
2. Information Only
All content on this Site is published for general informational and educational purposes only. It is provided in good faith, but we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, completeness, or timeliness of any information on the Site.
Information about software changes frequently. Version numbers, features, file sizes, requirements, and instructions may become outdated without notice.
3. Third-Party and Modified Applications — Important Risk Warning
Third-party and modified applications are not developed, reviewed, verified, signed, or supported by the original app developers or by official app stores. Before you decide to use any such application, you should understand the following genuine risks:
- Account restrictions. Using an unofficial client typically violates the terms of service of the original platform, and may result in your account being temporarily or permanently suspended or banned. This is a decision made by the platform owner, not by us, and it cannot be reversed by us.
- Security. Unofficial builds are not subject to official security review. They may lack timely security patches, may not use end-to-end encryption in the way the official app does, and may request excessive permissions.
- Privacy. We cannot verify what data any third-party application collects, transmits, or stores, or who receives it.
- Malware. Files distributed outside official app stores can be modified by third parties to include malicious code.
- Data loss. Installing, replacing, or migrating between app versions can result in the permanent loss of messages, media, and other data.
- No support or warranty. There is no vendor, no guaranteed updates, and no official support channel.
- Legal and contractual issues. Downloading, installing, distributing, or modifying software may be restricted by the software licence, by platform terms of service, or by the law where you live.
We do not claim, and you must not assume, that any file or application referenced on this Site is safe, secure, virus-free, stable, lawful, or suitable for your purposes.
If you want a supported, officially maintained experience, install the official application from the Google Play Store or the developer’s official website.
4. Use At Your Own Risk
Your use of this Site and of any information, guide, file, or link found on it is entirely at your own risk. You are solely responsible for evaluating that risk and for any consequences.
Before installing anything, we strongly recommend that you:
- Back up your data, including chats, media, and contacts.
- Scan every file with reputable, up-to-date antivirus software.
- Review the permissions an app requests before granting them.
- Consider using a secondary account or device rather than your primary one.
5. External Links and Third-Party Content
The Site may contain links to external websites, file hosts, mirrors, and other third-party resources that are not owned, operated, monitored, or controlled by us.
We do not endorse, guarantee, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, accuracy, safety, availability, or legality of any third-party site or file. Links are provided for convenience only. Once you leave GBWaves.net, this Disclaimer and our Privacy Policy no longer apply, and you should read the terms and privacy policy of the site you have moved to.
We do not host, own, develop, or distribute the applications discussed on this Site.
6. No Professional Advice
Nothing on this Site constitutes legal, technical, security, financial, or professional advice of any kind. Do not rely on the Site as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. If you have a legal question about software use in your country, consult a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction.
7. Your Responsibility To Comply With the Law
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of this Site, and of any software you obtain, complies with all laws, regulations, licence terms, and platform terms of service that apply to you in your country and region.
This Site is not intended to encourage or assist anyone in breaking the law, in infringing anyone’s intellectual property rights, or in accessing any account, device, or data belonging to another person without their permission.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, GBWaves.net, its owners, operators, contributors, and staff shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or of any third-party software, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, loss of data, loss of profits, device damage, security breaches, or account suspension or termination.
The Site and all its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
