1. Acceptance and use of Noted

These Terms apply when you use the Noted web app or installable PWA. By choosing to use Noted, you agree to follow these Terms to the extent they are enforceable under applicable law. Noted does not create a signed paper contract or record a separate checked-box consent in the app.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use Noted.

2. About Noted

Noted is an independent convention and assembly note-taking companion designed for Jehovah's Witnesses. It is not an official app of Jehovah's Witnesses and is not affiliated with or endorsed by them. Noted does not represent the organization, its publications, or its official applications.

3. Beta software

Noted V10.3 is beta software. You may encounter bugs, incomplete features, browser or device differences, and changes during development. Beta status does not mean intentional disregard for privacy or data safety; it means the product is still being tested and improved.

4. Free service

Noted is currently provided free of charge. The audited release has no paid subscription, premium plan, or donation feature. If that changes, these Terms and related disclosures should be updated.

5. Local data and backups

Noted primarily stores app data in your browser or device. There is no Noted account or remote notes copy that the operator can use to recover your notebooks.

Clearing site/browser data, removing app/site data, losing or damaging a device, changing browsers, or browser storage failure may remove or make local data unavailable. Create regular backup files and exports of notes you care about, and verify that important copies are stored somewhere you control. Password-protected backups cannot be recovered if you forget the password.

6. User content

You retain your rights in original notes, handwriting, reflections, memories, and other personal content you create. Noted does not claim ownership of your original personal content merely because you use the app.

You are responsible for what you write, save, export, and share, including personal information about other people. These Terms do not grant Noted ownership of imported program material.

7. Imported files and content

You choose which PDFs, program files, backups, and text to import. You are responsible for having appropriate rights or permission to use those files and for reviewing imported results before relying on them.

Noted does not bundle or redistribute official convention or assembly program files in this release. Import tools help you process files or information you supply.

8. Exports and sharing

You control files after Noted creates them. You are responsible for deciding where to save, upload, open, or share PDF, DOCX, program, and backup files, and for understanding the privacy and terms of the destination you choose.

A plain backup may contain the full local library. Use password protection and a suitable destination when appropriate. Google Docs-ready output is a local DOCX; Noted does not upload it to Google for you.

9. Acceptable use

Do not use Noted to break applicable law, attack or probe the service or its host, disrupt access for others, distribute malicious code, bypass security controls, or intentionally misuse feedback or import features.

10. Third-party services

Feedback uses FormSubmit, and Netlify hosts and delivers the public website. You may also choose an email service, cloud drive, word processor, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, messaging app, or another share destination. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices.

References to third-party products describe compatibility or a user-selected destination; they do not imply a partnership, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement.

11. Availability and changes

Beta features may be corrected, improved, changed, or removed. Browser support and offline behavior can vary. Noted does not promise uninterrupted, error-free, or 24-hour availability, and an external host or browser platform may also experience outages or changes.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Noted is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without a promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with every device, or suitable for every purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

13. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Noted operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from use of or inability to use the beta, including loss of locally stored data or files. This limitation does not apply where applicable law does not permit it, and it does not limit liability that cannot legally be limited.

14. Discontinuation

The operator may change, suspend, or discontinue Noted or a beta feature. Because notebooks are primarily local, maintain independent backups and exports of important content rather than depending on continued access to the hosted app.

15. Governing law

The Noted operator is based in California, United States. These Terms do not select an exclusive governing law or forum. Rights and obligations may vary under the law that applies to you.

16. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may change as the beta evolves. The effective and last-updated dates above will be revised when the published Terms change materially. Continued use after an update is subject to the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
