ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

What is Pairdrop

PairDrop is a browser-based peer-to-peer file transfer tool inspired by AirDrop. Files move directly between devices over an encrypted WebRTC channel — no upload to a server, no cloud copy, no third-party retention. Works across Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and ChromeOS.

PairDrop is licensed under GPL-3.0 and maintained by schlagmichdoch on GitHub, where the project has reached 10,100 stars, 598 forks, and 1,344 commits since being forked from the original Snapdrop in 2022. The application is built on Vanilla JavaScript ES6, runs on a Node.js backend, uses WebRTC and WebSockets for signalling and transfer, and stores per-device pairing secrets in IndexedDB rather than on a server.

The signalling server brokers the initial handshake between devices and then steps out of the way. After that, file bytes flow directly peer-to-peer, encrypted in transit by WebRTC. PairDrop has no database, no user accounts, no link archive, and no server-side retention of file content. The official pairdrop.net instance is run by the maintainer; the same code runs identically on any self-host or managed deployment.

FEATURES

What Pairdrop does

Peer-to-peer file transfer in any modern browser. Pair devices once via 6-digit code and they find each other across networks. Drop into a 5-letter public room for ad-hoc transfers. Send from the OS Share menu. No upload, no download wait — files move in one step.

Encrypted peer-to-peer transfer

WebRTC handles encryption in transit. Files move directly between devices once the handshake completes — no server-side copy at any point.

Temporary public rooms

Enter a 5-letter code or scan a QR to join a public room. All devices in the room see each other. Rooms close when the last tab closes.

Multi-file with progress indicator

Transfer multiple files in one operation with a unified progress bar. Receiver downloads as a ZIP, or one-by-one to the gallery on mobile.

Audio and video preview

Inline preview for media files before download. HEIC/HEIF images auto-convert to a viewable format on receive.

Persistent device pairing

Pair via 6-digit code or QR. Paired devices recognise each other across networks via shared secrets stored in IndexedDB, indefinitely.

Send from OS Share menu

Right-click in Windows Explorer, share-extension in Nautilus on Ubuntu, native Share sheet on iOS and Android. Or use the CLI.

Installable PWA

Add to home screen on iOS, install as desktop PWA on Chrome and Edge. Persists pairing, supports notifications, works offline for UI.

Paste text or files

Paste a clipboard image, copied text, or a file directly into the PairDrop window and pick the recipient afterwards.

WHY MANAGED

Why teams pick managed Pairdrop

In July 2025, WeTransfer briefly updated its terms of service to grant itself a perpetual, sublicensable licence over uploaded content — language that read as authorising AI-model training on user files. The clause was rolled back within days after public outcry, but the migration to alternatives didn't reverse.

For teams who actually read the terms, the practical question shifted. Not "is the current terms-of-service language acceptable" but "what's the next platform we use after the next quiet revision." PairDrop is one of the small set of answers — file bytes never touch a third-party server because the transfer is peer-to-peer in the browser. There's nothing to revise the licence on, because there's nothing being stored.

The catch is that running PairDrop in production isn't quite "docker run and you're done." Two configurations break by default. First, devices on different networks can't transfer files at all until a TURN server is configured — the WebRTC handshake completes and then times out trying to relay through NAT. The official pairdrop.net runs a TURN server; a fresh self-host doesn't. Second, if the reverse proxy isn't passing the X-Forwarded-For header, every connecting client appears to come from the same IP, and PairDrop auto-discovery shows every visitor to every other visitor — a privacy leak that's silent until someone notices their device name on a stranger's screen.

Successful businesses and professionals around the world rely on DANIAN every day

No more maintenance headaches!

Finaly, I can relax and not bother with maintenance. Each of the softwares that we run on DANIAN is automated and running stable for couple months already. They even assist us with modifying the DNS records. Once we needed to modify the config of Nextcloud so that we are able to upload higher than 5GB files and they assisted us fast. I also love their documentation!

Kevin Blackwell

Best managed service

I previously ran Peertube, Mastodon, Mattermost and Mirotalk on other providers before switching to DANIAN. I was tired of handling the updates and backups myself. Not only that the performance is "out of this world" fast, but their tech support is amazing. Since then I added 5-10 more Apps on my account. I also love how they add more softwares on their list constantly!

William Northfield

Love the personalized service!

I own an ecommerce startup. I knew that I need some softwares so that I add automations in my biz. I hopped on their livechat and I explained my needs. Albert recommended me couple softwares, each for a specific use-case. I signed up for the free trial and tested all. Ended up activating 6 apps. Everything is running smooth 2 months so far. I love the personalized service that I get with them!

George Adams

n8n runs excellent

We needed to add the ffmpeg functionality to our n8n instance. I contacted their support team. They made the required changes in couple minutes and notified me. Usually for this type of service I would need to hire a developer on a hourly basis. Love them!

David Hartmann

Smooth experience

I needed a way to manage the projects and files for my company. This was the first time I learn about opensource. I asked their support and livechat and they assisted me immediately. I started with Openproject. Later I added Nextcloud. My team were able to get used to the apps fast.

Levi Nilsson

Bye GA

I wanted to replace GA with something but I didn't know the options. I talked with Jack on the livechat. Couple minutes after that, I have a running Matomo Analytics. They even configured the tracking and connected it with my website. I have only words of appreciation and respect!

Wyatt Mitchell

Love the freedom

I wanted to use a crm for my startup. I signed up for the free trial. Tried out espocrm and dolibar and picked one. Their dashboard is very easy for a beginner. I recommend them and feel confident in choosing them.

Elias Koch

Wow just wow

After discovering DANIAN, I wished I'd found them sooner — their solution is excellent and deserves wider recognition. Very good solution!

Tyler Hollander

Professional tech support!

I thought that I knew what I was doing and I made changes in the Mattermost backend config file. Then it broke. I reached out to their tech and received an incredibly specific and fast response. They found the error fast and provided a clear solution.

Bastian Engel

Their support team is the best!

I had a problem with my card and the subscription could not be renewed in time. I notified their support and surprisingly, they showed much understanding. They basically left my apps run until I solved the card issue. Other providers would have deleted my data in a heartbeat. This is the way to build client-vendor trust!

George Adams

Fair price and fast

4 months ago I activated n8n, Uptime kuma, Vaultwarden and Paperlessngx. So far everything is perfect. The performance of all apps is excellent. I contacted their support team couple times for using custom subdomains for the apps and they were fast and kind. I'm constantly recommending them to my network!

Atanas

Vaultwarden 10/10

I wanted to selfhost a passwords manager for my company but I didn't trust the mainstream providers. I tried out Vaultwarden for the free trial. I loved how their support team communicated with me professionally but still kind. I know that I can contact them whenever with whatever question I have. Recommended!

James Smith

Multiple locations options

I run an agency. The majority of our clients are in different countries. I love that DANIAN has 20+ countries and I can spin up any app in any location. This gives us the freedom to focus on our clients. Sure, I can employee a dev in my team, but honestly, I prefer to not have those headaches. With DANIAN everything is running 24/7.

Edward Nelson

Everything just works!

My focus is on my business, not running servers. I love that I can lauch any app without having to think about the tech behind it. Everything just works!

Tony Roy

Awesome support team!

I signed up for the free trial in order to test Chatwoot. I needed to put a livechat widget on my website but I don't have much tech experience. I contacted their support to see if they can assist. They went above and beyond by generating the livechat widget code for me and inserting it in my website. They answered all my additional questions.

Filip

Very proactive!

Today couple of the videos on my Peertube got viral. Before I even noticed, their support have notified me via email that they proactively upgraded my app with more cpu & ram so that it continues to work without any downtime. They left the upgraded app with the added resources for couple days until the traffic stabilizes. After that I had the possiblity to stay on the same plan or keep the upgraded plan. Out of gratitude I stayed on the upgraded one.

Luke Hall

Win-win!

I run a web design biz. After I perform the work for my clients, they constantly ask me for more software solutions. So I partnered with DANIAN. Not only I provide the requested softwares for my clients and get the increased revenue boost by delegating all to DANIAN, but also for those clients that wish to order directly from DANIAN, I send them an affiliate link. Win-win on all sides!

Luke Walker

Flexible

For the past couple months I was running many apps with DANIAN for my clients. But one of my clients wanted a software that isn't on the current list. I talked with their tech support. They accomodated me and added the software the same day. The next day, I signed for their Partners program. We will go long way together!

Jeffrey Johnson

Awesome customer service

I needed to add analytics on my website but I didn't know anything about DNS. Their team guided me at all phases and they performed the changes for me. Additionally they were transparent and notified me of every change applied and steps performed.

Gabriele Marino

Good admin dashboard

Not only that I got Chatwoot, I also have access to the management dashboard. I love that I can view my hourly/daily usage and perform manual backups and restorations if needed. I don't need the level of control but it feels good to know that I have it if I need it.

Matthew Turner

Financially wise decision

Why install Chatwoot on a VPS that will cost me $20-25/month. Then worry about security, updates, backups, etc. Instead, I can activate it on DANIAN the same day for half the price. Plus, less headaches for maintenance. So happy I found out about this company!

Andreas Schmitt

Great service!

I configure custom Matomo tracking for my clients as a monthly service. Many of my clients were asking if they can selfhost Matomo instead of using the Cloud service. My employee recommended DANIAN. Basically, I can activate as much Matomo's in any of 20+ countries the same day. Additionally the affiliate revenue is a nice bonus.

Jacob Turner

Smooth experience

I was listing through youtube tuts on how to install Bookstack myself. Then randomly, I found their video playlist exactly for Bookstack. Got curious and went at their website. For the same price (or higher) that I would pay for just the VPS, with them I'm getting a fully managed Bookstack. It's a no-brainer decision!

Elias Gustafsson

I love opensource software

2 days ago I haven't heard about opensource softwares. Today I'm running 4 apps and enjoying the trip. Hey, 1 month later I may become a developer, haha just kidding. Love you guys!

Mason Hayes

Its a great service

Its a great service. I love the performance of my Mastodon community. It keeps on growing and I don't have any worries about backups, secuirity, updates, etc.

Vinícius Rocha

Very intuitive solution!

I wanted to use a nocode software for my company. A friend recommended them so I tried both Baserow and NocoDB, couple days later picked one.

Haruto Hashimoto

Top-notch security

Honestly, I don't care much about performance and functionalities. I just wish to not bother with hacking attacks so that I can focus on my firm. I recommend them!

USE CASES

Three teams who run Pairdrop on DANIAN

These are representative team types we set up most often. Each starts with the same flat €9 plan.

12-PERSON DESIGN STUDIO

Migrating off WeTransfer Ultimate after the AI-clause backlash

Running on the France region with the URL drop.studio-name.com. Twelve laptops and phones paired persistently so devices find each other on coworking Wi-Fi and home office Wi-Fi equally. Moving roughly 40 GB of client mood boards, RAW exports, and rough cuts per month. Public rooms enabled for ad-hoc client sends.

5-PERSON ARCHITETURE PRACTICE

Sending 2 GB BIM files between two offices without a VPN

Vienna and Munich offices on a single instance, Germany region. Coturn TURN over TLS handles the cross-NAT transfers. Average 32 GB/month of Revit and DWG exchanges. PWA installed on the principal architect's iPad so client visits can pull the latest model from the office laptop on demand.

UNIVERSITY LAB IT

Inter-device transfer for 200 lab devices without SSO

Closed-network deployment on the campus subnet, public rooms disabled at the application layer. X-Forwarded-For configured per VLAN so a peer in Lab A doesn't appear to a peer in Lab B. Students and TAs drop assignment files between lab PCs and personal laptops, no account, no cloud round-trip. One €9 instance for the whole campus.

COMPARISON

Four ways to run Pairdrop

Each path moves files between devices. They differ in what you spend, what you operate, and what a third party holds. The cost columns show the same workload — a small team's file-transfer needs — priced at 1, 5, and 10 users.

PATH	1 USER	5 USERS	10 USERS	OPERATIONAL WORK
WeTransfer Ultimate Per-seat SaaS, files held by vendor up to retention window. Terms have been revised mid-policy without notice.	$19/mo	$95/mo	$190/mo	None on your side; full reliance on vendor's terms and data handling.
Self-host on a VPS $24/mo production-class VPS plus a TURN server and reverse-proxy config. Coolify on a $24 VPS works if you have a developer in-house.	~$24/mo + 3–6 hrs/mo ops	~$24/mo + 4–8 hrs/mo ops	~$24/mo + 6–10 hrs/mo ops	TURN server, X-Forwarded-For setup, HTTPS renewal, version upgrades, on-call.
Home server Synology DS923+ or equivalent on business internet with static IP and proper backup target.	~€210–600/mo	~€220–620/mo	~€230–650/mo	Hardware, electricity, business internet with static IP, off-site backup, 2–4 hrs/mo time.
DANIAN Managed Pairdrop	€9/mo	€9/mo	€9/mo	None. Patching, monitoring, backups, TURN, HTTPS handled.

BY INDUSTRY

Pairdrop for specific industries

PairDrop's peer-to-peer model fits industries where the file is sensitive, the third-party retention is uncomfortable, and the workflow is laptop-to-laptop rather than file-server-to-portal. Five industries where the configuration is worth doing well.

Design and creative studios

The studio segment was the most visible mover off mainstream SaaS file-transfer tools after the July 2025 terms-of-service rewrite that briefly authorised model training on user uploads.

Operational standard most studios already hold themselves to: contractual non-disclosure on every client engagement, which sits awkwardly with a perpetual sublicensable third-party licence over file content.

DANIAN configuration: instance provisioned on a studio subdomain (drop.studio-name.com) with all paired devices persistent across home, office, and coworking Wi-Fi.

Workflow example: a 12-person studio moving RAW photo exports from the on-site shoot laptop straight to the editor's machine before either of them has finished coffee, no upload progress bar, no link-and-wait.

Quantifiable detail: roughly 30–50 GB/month of mood boards, RAW exports, and rough video cuts on a single €9 instance.

Architecture and engineering

Architecture practices move BIM models, point clouds, and CAD drawings that routinely run 500 MB to 4 GB — file sizes that break free SaaS tiers, stall on shared corporate file portals, and lose context when chunked across email.

Operational standard: client agreements typically require sole custody of project IP through completion, which makes third-party SaaS retention windows a recurring contract review.

DANIAN configuration: bundled coturn TURN server over TLS on port 5349 so a paired laptop at one office and a paired laptop at a partner site connect through both NATs without a corporate VPN tunnel.

Workflow example: a 5-person practice exchanging weekly Revit federations and DWG sheet sets between Vienna and Munich, plus the principal's iPad pulling the current model on a site visit.

Quantifiable detail: roughly 32 GB/month, with individual transfers up to 4 GB sustained.

Distributed software teams

Engineering teams use PairDrop for the awkward middle ground that breaks every other tool: crash dumps too sensitive to drop in Slack, build artifacts too one-off to commit to S3, profiler traces and screenshots that need to be on the reviewer's machine in the next five minutes.

Operational standard: most engineering orgs have internal data-handling rules that discourage routing dumps through third-party SaaS file-transfer providers.

DANIAN configuration: IPV6_LOCALIZE="4" enabled so engineers behind the same Cloudflare-fronted /64 subnet auto-discover each other, plus the WebSocket fallback toggled on for engineers behind corporate VPNs that block WebRTC outright.

Workflow example: an engineer on the Linux laptop pairs with the QA engineer's Mac, drops a 600 MB heap dump straight across, both move on.

Quantifiable detail: a 10-person team typically does hundreds of small transfers per week at the same €9 cost as a single user.

Education and lab IT

University labs and school IT operate networks where students, teaching assistants, and staff need to move files between lab PCs and personal devices constantly, but where adding 200 SSO accounts and provisioning a cloud upload quota per user isn't realistic for a small IT team.

Operational standard: most institutional IT policies require that student-generated content stay inside the institution's network unless explicitly authorised — third-party SaaS uploads are functionally a policy violation.

DANIAN configuration: public rooms disabled at the application layer so the instance is local-network-only, X-Forwarded-For wired per VLAN so peers in different labs don't appear to each other, rate limit tuned for shared-IP egress.

Workflow example: a programming class submits weekly assignments by dropping the file from the lab PC to the TA's grading laptop on the same subnet.

Quantifiable detail: one €9 instance serves a 12-room lab with around 200 active devices.

Independent journalism and small publishing

Newsrooms and freelance publishing chains move source documents, interview audio, raw photography, and unedited video between reporters, photographers, fixers, and editors — workflows where 'who has a copy of this file' matters as much as the file itself, especially when sources are off-the-record.

Operational standard: editorial source-protection conventions discourage routing source material through any third-party platform that retains a copy.

DANIAN configuration: a custom subdomain (drop.publication.com), persistent device pairing so a reporter's phone in the field finds the desk editor's laptop after both reboot, daily off-site backup of the instance configuration.

Workflow example: a 6-person editorial team where a reporter in Berlin drops interview audio to a translator in Athens and a layout editor in Lisbon, all on the same instance, all peer-to-peer.

Quantifiable detail: typical newsroom does 50–100 file moves per week, no per-transfer accounting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before signing up — answered straight, without sales speak.

Three groups: technical setup, migration, and how DANIAN works as a service.

Technical and configuration

Why can't my devices see each other across the internet on a vanilla PairDrop install?

Because the WebRTC peer connection can't punch through both NATs without a TURN relay. Without a configured TURN server, two devices on different networks finish the signalling handshake and then time out trying to exchange data. The official pairdrop.net runs a TURN server; a fresh Docker pull does not. On managed PairDrop we ship a coturn TURN server alongside the app on port 5349 over TLS, with credentials rotated and the firewall punched for 3478, 5349, and the 10000–20000 relay range.

Why do some users see each other when they shouldn't?

Almost always the X-Forwarded-For header isn't being passed by the reverse proxy. PairDrop's auto-discovery groups peers by the public IP the server sees. If the reverse proxy strips X-Forwarded-For, every client appears to come from the proxy's IP and everyone discovers everyone. We pin this in the nginx config: proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr — and we set DEBUG_MODE briefly on first deploy to verify each peer's real IP is being read. After verification, debug logging goes off.

What about large files? Mine keep cutting out around 500 MB.

Two causes show up. First, the receiving browser tab going to sleep — we keep NoSleep enabled so the screen-wake lock holds for the duration of the transfer. Second, the relay path: when TURN is in play (cross-NAT, VPN active, blocked WebRTC), throughput drops and a marginal connection that survives a 50 MB file fails on a 2 GB one. We tune the TURN server with TLS and run it on our own infrastructure rather than a free public relay, so the path is stable for files up into the multi-gigabyte range.

What happens when a user is on a VPN that blocks WebRTC?

Many consumer VPN clients block WebRTC outright to prevent IP leaks. PairDrop has an optional WebSocket fallback (WS_FALLBACK=true) that routes traffic through the server when WebRTC is unavailable. The fallback is honest about its trade-off: traffic is no longer peer-to-peer and is readable in transit by the server it routes through. We enable the fallback on instances where the customer wants it on, leave it off where they don't, and document the consequence either way.

Can my team install PairDrop as a Progressive Web App on iOS and Android?

Yes — but only over HTTPS with a trusted certificate, which is exactly what a fresh self-host doesn't give you. PWA install, persistent device pairing across browser restarts, display-name changes, and notifications all require TLS. We provision the instance with auto-renewed HTTPS at the edge, so the iOS Add-to-Home-Screen path works on the customer's own subdomain (drop.companyname.com), not on a generic shared host.

What's stored where, exactly?

PairDrop runs no database. The signalling server brokers the handshake and then steps out of the way; file bytes flow peer-to-peer over WebRTC, encrypted in transit. We back up the instance configuration — environment variables, RTC config, reverse proxy config, custom branding — daily off-site, but we do not back up file contents because we never have them. If you need server-side file retention, PairDrop isn't the right tool; we run Nextcloud, XBackBone, and Cubby for that.

How does pairing persist across browser restarts?

PairDrop stores a per-device shared-secret keypair in IndexedDB. Paired devices recognise each other independently of network state — same Wi-Fi, different country, behind a VPN, it doesn't matter. The IndexedDB store is browser-local, so a private-browsing session or a cleared site-data on the device resets pairing, which is the right behaviour for shared workstations.

Migration and onboarding

How do you handle DNS and the custom domain during setup?

We can activate your app on your own custom domain/subdomain. Examples: mydomain.com, anyword.mydomain.com.
Or, on our randomized free subdomain. Example: 963.apps.danian.cloud
If you wish to use a custom domain/subdomain, select that option when ordering your app (or notify us later). We will send you the required DNS records and if needed, our tech team will modify them for you.

Which regions can I deploy in?

21 datacenter locations across six continents. You choose the region at provisioning. Application data sits in the region you choose; pick whichever is closest to your users or matches your data-residency preference.

Can I move regions later?

Yes. Request a region migration from the dashboard and we run the move in the background. The system emails you when the migration completes; total transfer time depends on data volume but typical instances finish in a few hours. There is no extra charge for a region change.

Can I leave and take my data with me?

Yes. Full data export is available at any time, in a portable format you can bring to any infrastructure.

Can I migrate from WeTransfer to managed PairDrop without losing my historical sends?

Two different things. PairDrop is browser-to-browser at transfer time and stores no historical sends — no inbox, no link archive, nothing to migrate. If your team needs the WeTransfer-style send-link-and-let-it-sit-for-7-days workflow, the closer fits in our catalog are Nextcloud or Cubby. PairDrop is the right pick when 'I just need this file on the other laptop' is the actual job, and the seven-day storage is something you've been paying for but not really using.

What about pairing our existing team devices on day one?

Each device opens the new instance once, enters the 6-digit pairing code from another team device, and is paired persistently. Three minutes per device pair, no admin tool required. For larger fleets, we can pre-stage paired-device records on request — email us during onboarding.

Billing, support, and platform

What's included in €9 per app, per month?

€9 covers everything we do for that app: hardware in the region you choose, daily off-site backups with one-click restore, automatic security patches and version upgrades, 24/7 monitoring, SSL and firewall, and engineering support on Email/LiveChat. There are no setup fees or hidden line items. For more info see our Pricing page.

What happens after the 7-day trial?

If you decide to continue, we charge €9/app/month from day 8. If you don't, the trial ends and you can export your data. No card is required for the trial, and we never auto-charge you without explicit consent.

Are there per-user fees?

No. The €9/month is flat regardless of how many users log into your app. Add 5 users or 50; the price doesn't change.

What is included in support?

24/7 Live chat and email support, both staffed by engineers who run the systems. We handle DNS configuration, SMTP setup, app integrations, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and migration help. Response time is typically under an hour. There is no tier system — every customer gets the same support.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from the dashboard. We don't charge a cancellation fee, we don't lock data, and we will export your data to you on request before deletion. data to you on request before deletion.

How do you handle backups?

Every customer instance is backed up daily to a separate region from the primary. We test restores. You can request a restore at any backup point within the retention window — usually 7 days for daily backups.

Where is my data stored?

Your application data sits in the region you choose at provisioning — 21 datacenter locations across six continents. Account-level data (billing, account email, support ticket history) is processed centrally. Application data region is picked by you, per app.

What's the SLA?

99.9% uptime SLA on every app, every tenant. Service credits are documented at danian.co/service-level-agreement. The status page is located at status.danian.co.

How does scaling work?

When your tenant approaches the resource ceiling — the base tier holds 1 vCPU/RAM, 30 GB storage — we notify you. Resource upgrades happen with your explicit consent; we will not upgrade your tenant or charge you without it.

What happens if my card fails?

We wait. We don't suspend the app or delete your data on the first failed charge. We email you, you fix the card on file, and we continue.

What about taxes and invoicing?

Invoices can be downloaded from the billing dashboard in PDF the day each charge succeeds. EU VAT is added where applicable and the VAT-reverse-charge regime applies for VAT-registered businesses with a valid number.

Which apps are in the catalog?

150+ open-source apps across automation, team chat, file sync, analytics, AI, password management, email marketing, dev tools, project management, smart home, CMS, and federated social. See the full catalog →

Do I get terminal access to my instance?

Yes. Every instance comes with a web-based terminal and a file manager in your DANIAN management dashboard. Useful for managing your data and customizations.

What if I outgrow €9 or the per-app resources?

Resources scale with your usage. If your app needs more vCPU, RAM, or storage, we add it — and we ask first before any change to your plan. €9 is the floor; resource-heavy workloads may price higher, but you'll always know in advance.

Is there a Partner or Affiliate program?

Yes. We have both a Partner program and an Affiliate program available. Anybody can sign up.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

No contract. No minimum commitment. Cancel anytime from the dashboard with one click. The 7-day free trial requires no credit card. After the trial converts to paid, you can still cancel at any month without notice or penalty.
