Terms and
Conditions

By downloading, installing, or using Notly ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms in full, please do not download or use the App.

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and the developers of Notly ("we", "us", or "our"). They apply to all users of the App, including visitors, free-plan users, and paid subscribers.

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum digital age of consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use Notly. By using the App, you confirm that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you should review these Terms with a parent or guardian.

Notly grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App strictly for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. This licence does not include any right to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, national, or international laws
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise derive the source code of the App
• Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the App
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the App, its servers, or any connected systems
• Use automated bots, scrapers, or other tools to extract data from the App
• Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or commercially exploit the App or its content without our prior written consent
• Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices within the App

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any user who violates these restrictions, without prior notice and without liability.

You may use Notly in guest mode without creating an account. If you choose to create an account to enable cloud backup or cross-device sync, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
• Keep your login credentials confidential and not share them with anyone
• Use a strong, unique password and enable additional security features (such as biometric lock) where available
• Notify us immediately at hi@notly.co if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account, whether authorised by you or not

One account is intended for one person. You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent free-plan limits or any other restriction.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that: (a) violate these Terms; (b) have been compromised; (c) have been inactive for more than 24 consecutive months; or (d) are reasonably believed to be fraudulent. We will endeavour to provide notice before taking such action except where immediate action is required to protect other users or our systems.

You retain full ownership of all notes, to-do lists, voice memos, and any other content you create in Notly ("Your Content"). We do not acquire any intellectual property rights in Your Content by virtue of you using the App.

By using cloud backup or sync features, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to store, transmit, and reproduce Your Content solely to the extent necessary to provide and improve the service. This licence terminates when you delete the content or close your account.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that Your Content does not infringe the rights of any third party and complies with all applicable laws. We are not liable for any loss or corruption of Your Content caused by device failure, software error, or any other circumstance. We strongly recommend maintaining independent backups of any important notes or data.

You may export Your Content at any time from within the App (Settings → Export). We believe your data should always be portable and yours to take.

Notly offers a free plan and optional paid plans ("Pro", "Pro Annual") that unlock additional features. All purchases and billing are handled by the relevant app store (Apple App Store or Google Play). By purchasing a subscription, you agree to the following:

• Billing: Subscription fees are charged to your app store payment method at the start of each billing period (monthly or annual).
• Auto-renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
• Cancellation: You may cancel at any time through your device's App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period — you retain Pro access until then.
• Refunds: Refund requests are governed by Apple's or Google's respective policies. We are unable to process refunds directly. If you believe you were charged in error, contact the relevant app store support team with your order number.
• Price changes: We may change subscription prices at any time. We will notify you at least 30 days before any price change affects your renewal. Continued use after the new price takes effect constitutes acceptance.
• Free trials: If a free trial is offered, your payment method will be charged at the end of the trial period unless you cancel beforehand.

The free plan is and will remain free. We will not retroactively charge for features that were previously free without clear advance notice and your explicit consent.

While your notes are private and encrypted, your use of the App and any related services (such as account creation or support communications) must not:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation, including privacy, data protection, intellectual property, or export control laws
• Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party
• Involve the creation, storage, or transmission of content that is illegal, defamatory, harassing, threatening, obscene, or discriminatory
• Introduce malware, ransomware, spyware, viruses, or other malicious or harmful code
• Involve impersonating another person or entity, or misrepresenting your affiliation with any person or organisation
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the App or its infrastructure
• Attempt to circumvent any security, authentication, or access control mechanisms in the App

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action — including suspending or terminating accounts, removing content, and cooperating with law enforcement — without prior notice and without liability to you.

Your privacy is not a feature — it is the foundation of Notly. Here is a plain-language summary of how we handle your data:

• On-device encryption: All notes and content are encrypted on your device using AES-256 before being stored or transmitted. Your encryption keys never leave your device.
• No ad tracking: We do not serve ads, and we do not use your data for targeted advertising or sell it to data brokers.
• No AI training: Your notes and content are never used to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI or machine-learning system.
• Minimal data collection: We collect only what is strictly necessary to operate the service — account credentials (if you create an account), crash reports (anonymised), and subscription status.
• Third-party services: We use Apple iCloud and/or Google Drive for optional cloud backup (Pro). These services are governed by Apple's and Google's respective privacy policies.

Your use of Notly is also governed by our full Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in that Policy. If you have questions about how your data is handled, contact us at hi@notly.co.

Notly is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that: (a) the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure; (b) any defects will be corrected; (c) the App is free of viruses or other harmful components; or (d) the results of using the App will meet your requirements.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the App, including but not limited to:

• Loss of data, notes, or other content
• Loss of revenue, profits, or business opportunities
• Damage to devices or other property
• Costs of substitute products or services

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such cases, the above limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

These Terms and any disputes arising from them are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer is incorporated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Informal resolution: Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at hi@notly.co and give us a reasonable opportunity (at least 30 days) to resolve the issue informally.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative.

Entire agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.

We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes — such as changes that affect your rights or obligations — we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice through one or more of the following channels:

• An in-app notification or banner
• An email to the address associated with your account
• A prominent notice on our website

Your continued use of Notly after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the App and may delete your account.

We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of your rights and responsibilities. The current version is always available at this URL.
