Terms of Service

Last updated: December 2024

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Nexus Note (the "Software") or this website (nexusnote.ai), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Software or website.

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Software or website after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

2. Description of Service

Nexus Note is a local-first personal knowledge management application for macOS. The Software runs entirely on your computer and processes your data locally. We do not operate cloud servers that store or process your personal data.

The website (nexusnote.ai) provides information about the Software, collects waitlist signups, and may offer account management features in the future.

3. License Grant

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download, install, and use the Software on devices you own or control, for personal or internal business purposes.

You may not:

  • Copy, modify, or distribute the Software except as expressly permitted
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels
  • Use the Software to develop competing products
  • Sublicense, rent, lease, or lend the Software to third parties

4. Your Data

You retain full ownership of all data you create, import, or process using the Software. We do not claim any rights to your content.

Because Nexus Note is a local-first application, your data is stored on your device. We do not have access to your data unless you explicitly choose to use optional cloud features (if available). You are responsible for backing up your data.

For information about how we handle data, please see our Privacy Policy.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Software and website only for lawful purposes. You may not use the Software or website to:

  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations
  • Infringe on the intellectual property rights of others
  • Transmit malware, viruses, or other harmful code
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity of our systems
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems or networks

6. Payment and Refunds

Pricing for the Software will be announced before general availability. If you purchase the Software:

  • All fees are stated in USD unless otherwise specified
  • Prices may change with notice for new purchases
  • Refund policies will be clearly stated at time of purchase

7. Disclaimers

THE SOFTWARE AND WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Software will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components. You use the Software at your own risk.

The Software uses AI models that may produce inaccurate results. You are responsible for verifying any information or actions suggested by the Software before relying on them.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.

Our total liability for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the Software shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Software in the twelve months preceding the claim.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Nexus Note, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Software, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

10. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Software or website at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Upon termination, your license to use the Software ends immediately.

Because the Software runs locally, termination does not affect your existing data. You may export your data at any time before or after termination.

11. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

13. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Nexus Note regarding your use of the Software and website.
