1. The project

SrvSurvey-XP is the cross-platform fork of SrvSurvey maintained by Fenris159 and its contributors. The original SrvSurvey project by njthomson is credited as the upstream foundation.

The app reads local Elite Dangerous files and offers exploration, exobiology, mining, navigation, Guardian, colonization, combat, carrier and related companion tools. The website provides project information, documentation and links. The project is independent of Frontier Developments, Google and the community services it integrates with; linking to a service does not imply that service endorses SrvSurvey-XP.

2. Open-source software rights

The software’s permissions are governed by its GNU GPL v3 license. These website and optional-service terms do not add restrictions to your rights to run, study, modify or redistribute GPL-covered software. If a term here conflicts with the applicable software license, the license controls those software rights.

Read the complete license distributed with SrvSurvey-XP and obtain its source code from GitHub. Third-party components can carry their own notices and licenses. Preserve required notices and follow the applicable license when distributing modified versions. Using the software does not grant ownership of the project’s name, logo or third-party trademarks.

3. Using project-hosted services

When using the website, issue tracker or activity endpoint, do not attempt unauthorized access, send malicious content, abuse request rates or impersonate the project or another user. These conditions concern hosted services; they do not limit rights granted by the software license.

Use credentials only for accounts you are authorized to access. Keep API keys, authorization tokens and your local profile files secure. Do not post another person’s private information in support requests. Features that share game observations should be used in accordance with the receiving service’s rules and the game’s applicable terms.

The project does not charge a subscription for the software. Internet access, Google storage or other third-party services may have their own costs, limits and requirements.

4. Optional third-party connections

Google Drive and Frontier linking require your explicit authorization through their login flows. EDDN, Inara, direct EDSM, VoxStellar, Raven Colonial and other supported publication features have their own settings or credential requirements. Public reference lookups and daily installation activity reporting are described in the Privacy Policy.

You choose which optional features to enable and remain responsible for any account or credential you provide. Review the receiving service’s terms and privacy policy before authorizing access or publication. The maintainer does not operate or control these external services and cannot guarantee their availability, accuracy, retention or deletion behavior.

Community observations you publish may be distributed to other tools or public datasets. Disabling a publisher stops future applicable submissions but does not retract data already received or redistributed. Avoid enabling duplicate publication in multiple companion applications.

Google Drive access is limited to SrvSurvey-XP’s private app-data files. Linking Google does not give SrvSurvey-XP access to ordinary Drive documents or grant the maintainer access to your Google account.

5. Backups, synchronization & saved work

Keep an independent copy of important settings and saved work. SrvSurvey-XP profile backups cover supported data, rather than every file in your game or application directory. Credentials, raw journals, screenshot files and queued API reports are excluded from the profile-sync snapshot.

Synchronization can encounter conflicts, connectivity failures, storage limits or interrupted shutdowns. Review restore and conflict choices before applying them. Hardware-specific settings are intended to restore on their originating machine and operating system. Close all SrvSurvey-XP instances when the app instructs you to do so for a restore.

Cloud deletion is permanent. Clearing stored backups does not prevent a different linked computer from uploading a new backup afterward. Disconnecting removes local authorization but does not itself remove existing cloud files. Google storage quotas and account access remain governed by Google.

6. Your content & project attribution

You retain any rights you have in your notes, screenshots, surveys and other content. No ownership transfer to the maintainer occurs just because the app processes data locally or uploads a backup to your own Google Drive. You authorize the processing needed to carry out the features you choose; a third-party sharing destination may require additional permissions under its own terms.

Only share content you have permission to share. Public GitHub issues, contributions and uploaded diagnostic bundles are subject to GitHub’s terms and the applicable project contribution or license requirements.

The original SrvSurvey is credited to njthomson and upstream contributors; the XP fork is maintained by Fenris159 and its contributors. Elite Dangerous names, logos and game imagery are owned by their respective rights holders. Screenshots on this site are examples from the project, not guarantees of current prices, rewards or live conditions.

7. Availability & accuracy

SrvSurvey-XP is community-maintained software under active development. Release-candidate builds can contain defects. Features, packages, reference data, interfaces and platform compatibility may change over time; no fixed support period or uninterrupted hosted-service availability is promised.

Market prices, mining results, predictions, exploration values and route guidance are estimates or observations. They can become outdated and should be checked against the game and destination service. The app does not guarantee a payout, a mining yield, a successful delivery or a particular gameplay outcome.

Desktop compositors, game updates, permissions, nested displays and other platform differences can affect overlays, capture and shortcuts. Consult the installation and troubleshooting guides for supported configurations.

8. Warranty & liability

The GNU GPL v3 license contains the software’s warranty disclaimer and liability provisions. The software and project-hosted information are provided as available, without a promise that they are error-free or fit for a particular purpose. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the maintainers and contributors do not accept liability for losses arising from use, unavailability or inaccurate results, including lost data or interrupted workflows.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights, warranties or liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded. No clause here changes the warranty or other rights provided by the applicable software license.

9. Changes to these terms

The effective date above identifies this version. Material changes to project-hosted services or data practices should be reflected in the relevant website page and release information. Changes here do not retroactively withdraw rights already granted under an open-source license. If you no longer want an optional connection, disable or disconnect it and manage any retained data with the relevant service.

10. Contact & related documents

Contact the maintainer through Fenris159’s GitHub profile or the SrvSurvey-XP issue tracker. Public issues should not contain credentials or private account information; ask for a private contact route when needed.

Also read the Privacy Policy, software license, and the policies of any external service you choose to use.
