To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement.
No oral or written information or advice given by us or any authorized representative creates a warranty unless applicable law says otherwise.
If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty that cannot be effectively disclaimed under applicable law, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price you paid for the App, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to any warranty are our sole responsibility, to the extent required by law.
We, and not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including:
product liability claims;
claims that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement;
claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
Nothing in this EULA limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer law.
We, and not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.

if you export, share, email, or otherwise transfer content from the App, your use of the receiving platform or service is subject to that platform's or service's terms;
if you store or back up your device data through Apple services, those services are governed by Apple's terms and privacy practices.
Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA. Upon your acceptance of this EULA, Apple will have the right, and will be deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce this EULA against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Based on the current codebase, the App is primarily local-first. However, certain data may be processed by Apple or leave your device in limited situations, including speech recognition, App Store billing and restore flows, clipboard actions, exports, sharing actions, external links, and email actions.
The App may offer paid subscriptions, lifetime purchases, or other premium digital products through Apple's in-app purchase system.
Important purchase terms:
billing, payment processing, renewal handling, and refund workflows are generally managed by Apple under the App Store rules;
subscriptions may renew automatically unless you cancel through your Apple account settings according to Apple's timing rules;
restore purchases depends on Apple's systems and your Apple account;
product names, prices, feature sets, free trials, and promotional offers may change.
Any reference in the App to "premium," "pro," "AI summaries," "clean exports," "watermark-free exports," or similar wording describes the product offering as presented at the time and may change in future versions.
The App is a general productivity and note-taking tool. It does not provide legal, medical, mental health, accounting, tax, compliance, archival, or other professional advice.
Transcripts, summaries, keywords, and action items may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for your purpose. You remain responsible for reviewing and verifying your content before relying on it or sharing it.
This EULA is effective until terminated by you or us.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our affiliates, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business opportunity, or data, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the App.

the amount you paid for the App or the applicable in-app purchase in the 12 months before the claim; or
USD $50.
