Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By downloading or using Lucid Notes ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"), a legally binding agreement between you and Sardorbek Rakhimov ("we," "us," or "our"). You must be at least 13 years old to use this App. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

These Terms work together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how the App handles data. Your use of the App is also subject to Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.

2. The App

Lucid Notes is a note-taking app for macOS. It lets you create, edit, and organize notes with rich text formatting. The App features a transparent floating window designed for use alongside other applications.

The App requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later. All your notes are stored locally on your device. Pro subscribers can optionally sync notes via iCloud.

Important: This is a local app. We don't operate servers, we don't have user accounts, and we never see or access your notes.

3. Subscriptions and Pricing

Free Tier

You can use the App for free with a limit of 5 notes. The free tier includes all core features: rich text editing, tags, export to multiple formats, and basic themes.

Pro

Pro removes the note limit and adds premium features:

• Monthly subscription: auto-renewing, billed monthly
• Yearly subscription: auto-renewing, billed annually
• Lifetime access: a one-time purchase granting perpetual access (not a subscription)

Current prices for all plans are displayed on the App Store listing. Prices may vary by region and are subject to change.

Pro features include: unlimited notes, iCloud sync, App Lock (Touch ID/Face ID), and premium themes.

Note on "Lifetime access": This means access for as long as the App remains available. If we discontinue the App, lifetime purchasers will receive the final version but are not entitled to refunds.

Auto-Renewal

Monthly and yearly subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.

Managing Your Subscription

All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID account settings (System Settings → Apple ID → Media & Purchases → Subscriptions).

4. Refunds

All refunds are handled by Apple. We don't process payments directly and cannot issue refunds ourselves.

To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com or contact Apple Support.

5. Your Content

Your notes belong to you. We don't claim any rights to the content you create.

Your notes are stored:

• Locally: On your Mac at ~/Documents/LucidNotes/
• iCloud (Pro only): In your personal iCloud account, managed by Apple

We have no access to your notes. We don't read them, analyze them, or use them in any way. Your data stays entirely on your device and/or your iCloud account.

6. Your Responsibilities

When using the App, you agree to:

• Maintain backups: Regularly export your notes. We recommend using the built-in export feature to save copies of your important content.
• Secure your device: You're responsible for the security of your Mac, Apple ID, and iCloud account.
• Use the App lawfully: Don't use the App for anything illegal.
• Respect the App: Don't reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code.

7. Intellectual Property

Lucid Notes, including its design, code, and features, is owned by Sardorbek Rakhimov and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes. This license does not include the right to modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the App.

8. No Warranties

The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

We don't guarantee that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or meet your specific needs. We're not responsible for any data loss, whether due to software bugs, device issues, iCloud problems, or any other cause.

Always keep backups of important notes.

Some jurisdictions don't allow warranty exclusions. If that applies to you, these limitations may not fully apply.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We're not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption).
• Our total liability for any claims related to the App is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $50 USD, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations. If that applies to you, these limitations may not fully apply.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sardorbek Rakhimov from claims arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the App.

11. General

Updates to Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. When we do, we'll update the date at the top. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the new Terms.

Term and Survival

We may update, modify, or discontinue the App at any time. We may also terminate or suspend your access to the App if you violate these Terms. We recommend regularly exporting your notes to ensure you always have access to your content.

Sections 5 (Your Content), 7 (Intellectual Property), 8 (No Warranties), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), and this section survive any termination.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Uzbekistan, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or other jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection laws, this does not affect your statutory rights under those laws.

Apple

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

Severability

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

Waiver

No failure to exercise any right under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements.
