Terms of Service

1. Who we are

FlowNote (“the Service”) is operated by [Legal entity name], registered at [Registered address] (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at [email protected].

2. What the Service does

The Service lets you create, edit, search and delete text notes stored in our database and readable only through your own account. That is the entire product. We do not promise any feature that is not visible in the application today.

3. Your account

• You must provide a valid email address and confirm it before you can sign in.
• You are responsible for keeping your password confidential.
• One person or organisation per account; do not share credentials.
• You must be old enough to enter a contract where you live.

4. Free tier

A new account may create up to 5 notes in total. This is a lifetime allowance, not a monthly one, and it counts notes created — deleting a note does not return the slot. Editing existing notes is always unlimited, on any plan.

5. Paid subscription

• Pro costs $2 / month, priced in US dollars and paid in cryptocurrency through our payment provider.
• One payment grants 30 days of access, starting when the blockchain confirms the transaction and our provider notifies us.
• The subscription does not renew automatically. Cryptocurrency payments cannot be charged on a schedule. We will email you before the period ends; renewing is a manual payment.
• If you renew before the current period ends, the new days are added to the time you have left.
• The crypto amount is calculated by the payment provider at checkout. Exchange rate movement, network fees and underpayments are outside our control; an underpaid invoice does not activate a subscription.

6. When the subscription ends

Your account returns to the free tier. Your notes are not deleted. You keep full read and edit access to everything you have written; you simply cannot create new notes beyond the free allowance until you renew.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• store content that is illegal where you or we operate;
• attempt to access another user's account or data;
• probe, scan or overload the Service, or bypass rate limits and quotas;
• resell the Service or use it to operate a competing product.

We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these rules. Where practical we will tell you why.

8. Availability

We work to keep the Service running, but we do not offer a guaranteed uptime level and there is no service credit scheme. The Service is provided “as is”, without warranties beyond those your local law makes mandatory.

9. Liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. We are not liable for lost profits or lost data beyond that amount. Keep your own backups of anything you cannot afford to lose — the export in your account exists for exactly this reason.

10. Closing your account

You can delete your account at any time from the account page. Deletion removes your notes, sessions and login credentials, and anonymises your profile. Records of payments are kept as described in the Privacy Policy. Deleting an account mid-period does not entitle you to a refund of unused days, except where the Refund Policy or your local law says otherwise.

11. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced by email or in the application before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new version.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing here removes consumer rights that your local law gives you and that cannot be waived by contract.
