Terms of Use

1. About these terms

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Noto (the “Service”), a personal notebook and dashboard application. By creating an account or signing in, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy linked at the top of this page. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use Noto. By creating an account you confirm that you meet this age requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.

3. Your account

• You are responsible for keeping your password and any two-factor secrets confidential.
• Enabling two-factor authentication is strongly encouraged; you are responsible for the consequences of not enabling it.
• Notify the operator promptly if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
• One person per account; sharing credentials is not permitted.

4. Your content

Anything you write into Noto — notebooks, notes, titles, scratch pad, preferences — remains your content. You grant the Service only the limited, non-exclusive licence needed to store, transmit, render, and back up your content so it can be shown to you across your devices. The Service does not claim ownership and will not use your content to train machine-learning models.

You are responsible for the legality of what you store. Do not use Noto to store content that is illegal, that infringes someone else’s rights, that contains malware, or that targets or harasses another person.

If you use optional note passphrase protection, your browser encrypts that note’s body using a key derived from a passphrase you choose. You are solely responsible for remembering that passphrase. We do not store it and cannot reset or recover it; if you lose it, the encrypted note body may be permanently inaccessible. Note titles and attachments are not covered by this encryption (see the Privacy Policy).

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Attempt to break, probe, or bypass the Service’s security controls, authentication, or rate limits.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or automate the Service in ways that interfere with normal use by others.
• Use the Service to send unsolicited communications, spam, or phishing material.
• Resell, sub-license, or operate the Service on behalf of third parties without explicit permission.

6. Service availability

Noto is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Maintenance, upgrades, network issues, and third-party outages may temporarily affect access. The operator does not guarantee uninterrupted availability and is not liable for downtime, except where required by applicable law.

7. Backups and data loss

Database snapshots are taken automatically by the hosting platform. You are nonetheless encouraged to export important notes periodically. The operator is not liable for data loss caused by factors outside its reasonable control, including but not limited to user error, account compromise, or force majeure.

8. Termination

You may delete your account at any time. The operator may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, with notice when practicable. Account deletion removes your notebooks, notes, and personal data from the active database; backup snapshots are purged on the rolling schedule documented in the Privacy Policy.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Aggregate liability for direct damages is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim, or €50, whichever is greater.

11. Paid plans (Noto Plus)

Noto offers a free tier and an optional paid subscription called Noto Plus. Prices, storage limits, and feature differences are shown on the pricing page and in Settings. Payment processing is handled by Stripe; we do not store your full card number.

• While subscribed — Plus includes higher file-storage limits, password-protected notes, additional themes, custom fonts, more dashboard tiles, email-based two-factor codes (when configured), and bundled proofreading: choose LanguageTool (up to 900 checks per month) or OpenAI (up to 300 checks per month, including Rewrite with AI on selected text). Each check or rewrite counts as one action against that engine's allowance.
• Cancellation — you may cancel anytime through the billing portal in Settings. Plus features remain until the end of the paid period, then revert to the free tier.
• Files after cancel — your note text is never deleted because a subscription ended. If your stored attachments exceed the free limit (50 MB), we keep those files for 45 days after the period ends if you paid at least once, or 14 days if you only used a free trial, so you can export them. After that date we delete excess attachments until you are within the free limit. Custom fonts uploaded on Plus are removed when Plus ends.
• Refunds — unless required by law, subscription fees are non-refundable once a billing period has started. Contact us if you believe a charge was made in error.

12. Changes to these Terms

The operator may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes are signalled by a new version (see the version label at the top of this page) and you will be prompted to re-accept the updated Terms the next time you load the Service. Continued use after acceptance is your consent to the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of the operator’s place of establishment, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer-protection rights of your country of residence continue to apply.
