Terms of Use

By downloading, installing, or using the BinderSafe app or this website ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of BinderSafe ("we", "us").

You must be old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction (and at least 13, or the minimum age where you live) to use the Service. If you use it on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are authorized to accept these terms for it.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own lawful use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

You keep all rights to the files, notes, and other content you add to the app ("Your Content"). Because the app is local-first, Your Content stays on your device; we do not control, monitor, or back it up.

You are solely responsible for Your Content and for keeping your own backups. You confirm you hold the rights needed to store and use the content you add.

You agree not to use the Service to store or share unlawful content, to infringe the rights of others, to attempt to breach security, or to reverse engineer, decompile, or interfere with the Service, except to the extent the law permits despite this restriction.

Optional per-binder encryption protects Your Content with keys and a recovery phrase held only on your device. You are responsible for safeguarding your recovery phrase. If you lose it, your encrypted content may be permanently unrecoverable, and we cannot recover it for you.

If you install the app from a third-party app store, your use is also subject to the terms of that store. Third-party open-source components are provided under their own licenses, listed in the app under Settings → Open source licenses.

The BinderSafe name, logo, and the design and layout of the app and website are owned by us or our licensors. These terms do not grant you any right to use them except as needed to use the Service normally.

We provide the Service on an "as is" and "as available" basis and may add, change, or discontinue features. Future optional features (such as cloud sync or accounts) may be offered under additional terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of data or content, arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service.

You may stop using the Service and uninstall the app at any time; uninstalling removes on-device data unless your operating system keeps its own backups. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms or to comply with the law.

We may update these terms as the Service evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the effective date below. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.

These terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator of BinderSafe, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Nothing in these terms limits any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live.
