NotesageEnd User Licence Agreement
This agreement covers the Notesage application for macOS, downloaded from this site or from the project's GitHub releases. Applications installed from the App Store are covered by Apple's standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement instead.
Why this exists
The Notesage source code is published under the MIT Licence, which grants rights to anyone holding the source. Most people never hold it — they download a signed application and run it. This states the terms that copy is provided on, so those users have terms at all rather than relying on a licence covering something they never received.
Nothing here reduces any right the MIT Licence gives to anyone with the source. The MIT Licence governs the source; this governs the binary.
What you may do
ADDABLE AB grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use and copy the version of the application you have, for any purpose, including commercial use, on any number of devices. No payment, registration or account is required for it, now or ever.
Perpetual means what it says: a version you hold today stays yours to use indefinitely, whatever we do later. We cannot revoke it, expire it, or make it require a payment after the fact.
Sharing it with others
You may pass the application on to other people, provided you pass it on unmodified and without charge. You may not sell it, bundle it into something you sell, or distribute it for any other consideration.
If you want to build and distribute your own version, the source code is published under the MIT Licence and that licence — not this one — governs what you may do with it.
Future versions, and services
This agreement covers the version you have. It is not a promise about versions that do not exist yet.
Later versions may be offered on different terms, including paid ones, and nothing here obliges us to release future work free of charge. Separately, anything we run as a service — synchronisation, hosted storage, or support for platforms and storage providers that require infrastructure on our side — is not part of this licence at all and may be offered on its own terms.
Neither changes the paragraph above. A version you already hold does not stop working, and does not start costing money, because a later one is priced.
What you may not do
Only what the law already prohibits. This agreement adds no restriction on reverse engineering, modification, benchmarking, or publishing what you find.
The one exception: the third-party notices the application displays (Settings → System → Licences) may not be removed or obscured. The licences of the components Notesage bundles require those notices to travel with every copy, so if you redistribute the application they must remain intact.
What you own
Everything you create. Your notes, documents and attachments are yours, in a folder you chose, and this agreement gives us no right of any kind over them.
The application itself and the name "Notesage" remain ours. This licence grants use of the application, not ownership of it.
No warranty
The application is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will preserve your data. Keep backups. The application writes to files you nominate; a fault, a failed sync, or a mistaken action can lose work.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, nor for lost profits, lost data, or the cost of replacement software, arising from use of or inability to use the application.
This does not limit liability that cannot be limited by law — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for gross negligence or intentional misconduct. If you are a consumer, your mandatory rights under the law of your country of residence are unaffected by anything here.
Privacy
What the application processes, and what it transmits, is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of the terms the application is provided on.
Term
This licence runs for as long as you use the application. We may stop distributing or updating it at any time; that does not end your licence to the copy you already hold, which remains valid indefinitely.
Governing law
Swedish law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the EU or EEA, this choice does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law where you live.
If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
