Terms of Service

1.1 Free License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Oceanoax grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the free tier of the Software on your devices for your personal or internal business purposes.

1.2 Pro License — Perpetual

Where offered, upon purchase of a perpetual Pro license and receipt of a valid license key, Oceanoax grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual license to use the Pro features of the Software version current at the time of purchase, and all minor and patch updates within that major version. Access to new major versions may require a separate purchase or upgrade. Perpetual license availability varies by region and may not be offered at all times.

1.3 Pro License — Subscription

Upon commencement of a Pro subscription, Oceanoax grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Pro features of the Software for the duration of your active subscription period. Your license terminates automatically upon expiration or cancellation of your subscription, and Pro features will no longer be accessible.

1.4 Device Limit

A Pro license (perpetual or subscription) may be activated on up to five (5) devices that you own or control. You may deactivate a device at any time to free up an activation slot.

1.5 License Restrictions

You may not:

• Copy, modify, or distribute the Software or any portion thereof;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Software;
• Circumvent, disable, or tamper with any license enforcement or activation mechanism;
• Share, sell, sublicense, rent, or transfer your license key to any third party;
• Use the Software for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on the Software.

All purchases of Pro licenses are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited ("Paddle"), acting as our Merchant of Record. When you complete a purchase, you are entering into a transaction with Paddle, and Paddle's terms of service and privacy policy apply to that transaction. Oceanoax does not directly collect or store your payment information.

Subscription fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on the plan you select). Prices are displayed at the time of purchase and are subject to change upon reasonable notice.

Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time through Paddle's customer portal or by contacting us. Upon cancellation, you retain access to Pro features until the end of the current billing period. Paddle will send a renewal reminder before each billing cycle in accordance with applicable auto-renewal laws, including California's Automatic Renewal Law (ARL) and the FTC's Negative Option Rule.

We may offer a free trial of the Pro tier. At the end of the trial period, your access to Pro features will end unless you activate a valid Pro license. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue free trial offers at any time.

Refund requests are handled by Paddle in accordance with Paddle's refund policies. Generally, we offer a thirty (30)-day money-back guarantee on new Pro license purchases. Subscription renewals are non-refundable unless required by applicable law. To request a refund, contact support@oakletnotes.com or initiate the process directly through Paddle's customer portal.

EU/UK Consumers: If you are a consumer in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have a statutory right to withdraw from the purchase of digital content within fourteen (14) days of the transaction, provided that you have not yet begun to download or use the Software. By commencing the download or activation of your license, you expressly consent to the immediate provision of the digital content and acknowledge that you thereby waive your right of withdrawal, in accordance with EU Directive 2011/83/EU, Article 16(m).

The Agent API feature provides a local HTTP interface that allows external tools to interact with your vault. You are solely responsible for securing access to the Agent API and for all actions taken through it. You agree not to use the Agent API to:

• Access, modify, or delete data without authorization;
• Circumvent any security or access control mechanisms;
• Process data in violation of applicable privacy laws;
• Build tools intended to infringe upon third-party intellectual property.

Oceanoax has no visibility into Agent API usage and bears no responsibility for actions performed through it.

The Software, including all code, design, graphics, documentation, and associated intellectual property, is owned by Oceanoax or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Oceanoax.

Your notes and vault content remain your property. Oceanoax claims no intellectual property rights over the content you create using the Software.

Because Oaklet Notes is a local-first application, you are responsible for maintaining backups of your vault data. Oceanoax is not responsible for any loss of data stored locally on your device or on third-party storage services you use in conjunction with the Software. We strongly recommend enabling the built-in automatic backup feature and maintaining independent backups of important data.

The Software may integrate with third-party services (including AI providers and WebDAV servers) at your direction. Oceanoax is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of any third-party services. Your use of third-party services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

Oceanoax may release updates, patches, or new versions of the Software. For subscription holders, updates are provided as part of the subscription. Perpetual license holders receive updates within their licensed major version. We reserve the right to discontinue features or modify the Software at any time, subject to reasonable notice.

The Software or certain features may be designated as "beta," "preview," "early access," or otherwise identified as pre-release (collectively, "Beta Features"). Beta Features are provided for evaluation purposes only and may contain bugs, errors, or incomplete functionality. Beta Features are provided "AS IS" without any warranty, and Oceanoax makes no representations regarding their reliability, availability, or suitability for production use.

You acknowledge that Beta Features may change substantially or be discontinued at any time without notice. Oceanoax shall have no liability for any harm or data loss arising from your use of Beta Features. Your use of Beta Features constitutes acceptance of these additional risks.

The Software provides AI-powered features, including local AI processing (available to all users) and cloud-based AI services through third-party providers (available to Pro users). When you use cloud AI features, your selected text or prompts are transmitted to the third-party AI provider you configure. Oceanoax does not control and is not responsible for the processing of your data by third-party AI providers; such processing is governed by each provider's own terms and privacy policies.

No guarantee of accuracy: AI-generated content (including summaries, suggestions, completions, and tags) is provided for informational purposes only and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and deciding whether to use any AI-generated output. Oceanoax disclaims all liability for decisions or actions taken based on AI output.

Data handling: Local AI features process data entirely on your device. Cloud AI features transmit only the specific content you select to the configured provider. Your notes, vault data, and other content are never sent to Oceanoax servers. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for additional details.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. OCEANOAX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ANY ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL OCEANOAX BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF OCEANOAX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN ANY CASE, OCEANOAX'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SOFTWARE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID OCEANOAX IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (USD $50).

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Oceanoax and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Software, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising under or relating to these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.

Oceanoax reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via an in-app notice or by updating the "Effective Date" on this page. Your continued use of the Software after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Oceanoax may suspend or terminate your license if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and delete all copies in your possession. Sections 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 shall survive any termination of these Terms.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Waiver: The failure of Oceanoax to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without Oceanoax's prior written consent. Oceanoax may assign these Terms without restriction in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Oceanoax with respect to the Software and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties.
