1. Acceptance
By downloading, installing, purchasing, activating, or using ClingNote, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use ClingNote.
2. Software license
Subject to these Terms, ClingNote grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to install and use the software for your personal or internal professional use. ClingNote is licensed, not sold. You may not resell, sublicense, rent, lease, reverse engineer except where applicable law expressly permits it, remove proprietary notices, or use the software to violate law or the rights of others.
3. ClingNote Free, Pro trial, and Pro
ClingNote Free is available without a paid subscription and provides the features designated as Free in the current product.
Pro trial. New eligible installations may receive a 14-day trial of ClingNote Pro. Trial eligibility, start time, and anti-abuse rules may be verified by the licensing service. A trial is not guaranteed to be renewable or repeatable on the same device or by the same user.
ClingNote Pro unlocks the context-aware features designated as Pro, including supported features that connect notes to files, apps, windows, and current work. Feature details may evolve as the product improves.
4. Pricing, billing, renewals, cancellation, and refunds
ClingNote Pro is currently priced at $4 USD per month or $40 USD per year, plus applicable taxes. Prices may change for future purchases or renewals where permitted by law, with notice when required.
Paid subscriptions are processed by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. Unless otherwise stated at checkout, subscriptions renew automatically for the selected billing period until canceled. Billing, invoices, taxes, subscription management, cancellation, and refunds are handled through Lemon Squeezy and are also subject to the terms shown at checkout and applicable consumer law.
Canceling prevents future renewal but does not ordinarily erase locally stored ClingNote data. Access to Pro features may continue until the end of the paid entitlement period or signed license lease, subject to the licensing system.
5. License keys, activation, and device limits
ClingNote Pro may use license keys, device identifiers, activation instances, and signed license leases. You are responsible for keeping your license key reasonably secure and for using it within the activation/device limits communicated at purchase or enforced by the licensing service. Sharing, selling, or abusing license keys may result in deactivation or termination of the paid entitlement.
ClingNote may periodically contact its licensing service to validate or refresh an entitlement. Offline Pro use may be available for a limited lease period; continued Pro access after that period can require successful revalidation.
6. Your notes, local data, and backups
You retain ownership of the content you create in ClingNote. ClingNote is local-first and stores note content on your device. The software includes backup and recovery features, but no backup system can eliminate every risk of hardware failure, corruption, deletion, malware, operating-system failure, or user error. You are responsible for maintaining backups appropriate to the importance of your data.
You are responsible for ensuring that content you import, paste, attach, or create using ClingNote does not violate law or third-party rights.
7. Updates and changes to the software
ClingNote may receive fixes, security updates, performance improvements, or feature changes through the Microsoft Store or another authorized distribution channel. We may add, modify, or retire features, provided that any rights required by applicable law are respected.
8. Acceptable use
You may not use ClingNote or its licensing services to interfere with systems, bypass entitlement controls, distribute malicious software, obtain unauthorized access, violate intellectual-property rights, or engage in unlawful activity. You may not intentionally overload, probe, or attack ClingNote’s licensing or web infrastructure.
9. Third-party services
ClingNote depends on or interacts with third-party services for certain functions, including Microsoft Store distribution, Lemon Squeezy billing/licensing, Cloudflare infrastructure, Windows operating-system capabilities, and email/support services. Those services are governed by their own terms and policies, and ClingNote is not responsible for third-party outages or changes outside our reasonable control.
10. Intellectual property
ClingNote, its software, branding, interface, documentation, website content, and related intellectual property are owned by the ClingNote operator or its licensors, except for third-party components provided under their respective licenses. These Terms do not transfer ownership of ClingNote intellectual property to you.
11. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ClingNote is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of uninterrupted operation, error-free performance, fitness for a particular purpose, or absolute prevention of data loss. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot legally be excluded.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ClingNote and its operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost business, or lost data arising from use of or inability to use ClingNote. Where liability cannot be excluded, aggregate liability relating to a paid ClingNote subscription will not exceed the amount you paid for ClingNote Pro during the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, unless applicable law requires a different result.
13. Suspension or termination
You may stop using ClingNote at any time. We may suspend or terminate access to paid entitlements or online services if you materially violate these Terms, abuse license activation, commit fraud, or create a security risk. Termination does not transfer ownership of your local note content to ClingNote.
14. Consumer rights
These Terms do not limit rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law. If a provision conflicts with a right that cannot legally be waived, the mandatory right controls.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as ClingNote, its pricing, distribution, or legal requirements change. Material changes will be posted with a new effective date and, when legally required, additional notice.
