Terms of Use

1. The agreement

Solo Note (“the App”) is licensed, not sold, to you by Vicras (“we”, “us”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms of Use (“Terms”) and to the Mac App Store Standard End User License Agreement (“Apple EULA”). Where the Apple EULA and these Terms conflict, the Apple EULA controls for users who obtained the App from the Mac App Store.

2. License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the Apple EULA.

You may not: (a) copy or redistribute the App except as permitted by the Apple EULA; (b) modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent applicable law permits; (c) remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices; (d) use the App for any unlawful purpose.

3. Your content

You retain all rights to the notes, files, and other content you create with the App (“User Content”). We claim no ownership of User Content. Because the App runs entirely on your device and we do not operate any server, we cannot access, view, or recover your User Content.

You are solely responsible for the lawful use of the App and for the User Content you create with it, including compliance with any obligations under financial or other regulatory frameworks that may apply to you.

4. Backup and data loss

You are responsible for backing up your User Content. The App provides an encrypted export feature (“.solonote”) for that purpose. We strongly recommend creating regular encrypted backups and storing them on a separate volume.

Because we do not store, sync, or otherwise receive your User Content, we cannot recover lost data, lost passwords, or corrupted vaults. If you forget your vault password, your data is unrecoverable by you and by us.

5. Updates

We may release updates to the App from time to time. Some updates may add features, change existing features, or remove features. You may continue to use a previous version of the App at your discretion, subject to the Apple EULA.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will meet your requirements.

Although the App applies industry-standard cryptography to protect your User Content at rest, no security system is impervious. You acknowledge that no cryptographic scheme can defend against compromised operating systems, hardware keyloggers, physical access to an unlocked device, or compelled disclosure, among other vectors.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Vicras be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the App. Our aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the App will not exceed the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim.

8. Privacy

Our handling of information is described in our Privacy Policy. In short, we collect nothing. The App is offline-only.

9. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms. On termination, your right to use the App ends and you must uninstall it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — disclaimers, limitations of liability, governing law — will survive.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, except where prohibited by applicable consumer-protection law.

11. Apple-specific terms

The following terms apply to your use of the App when obtained through the Mac App Store:

• These Terms are between you and Vicras only, and not with Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services for the App.
• In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, who will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product-liability, regulatory, intellectual-property, or consumer-protection claims.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms; upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
