These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of TreeNote, an Android app and cloud sync service (collectively, the “Service”) operated by Ed Lord, an individual developer based in the United States (“we”, “us”, “our”). By downloading, installing, or using TreeNote, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.
Read the Privacy Policy for how we handle your data.
You must be at least 13 years old to use TreeNote (16 in the European Economic Area). To purchase a subscription you must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater. You must be able to form a legally binding contract in your jurisdiction.
If you are using TreeNote on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.
The core TreeNote app — creating notes and tasks, organizing them in a tree, searching, exporting, and importing — is and will remain free to use with no account required. Your data stays on your device unless you enable cloud sync.
TreeNote Cloud is an optional paid feature that syncs your notebook across all devices signed into the same account. Cloud sync requires:
Cloud sync is not required to use TreeNote. All local features continue to work whether or not you subscribe.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@treenoteapp.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
You agree that the information you provide during account creation is accurate and current. You may not create an account using someone else’s email address or impersonate any person or entity.
You may delete your account at any time via Settings → Sync → Delete account in the app. Account deletion permanently removes your cloud data (see the Privacy Policy for retention specifics).
TreeNote Cloud offers two subscription plans, purchased through Google Play:
Prices in currencies other than USD are set by Google Play based on regional pricing rules. You will see the price in your local currency, including any applicable taxes, before you confirm your purchase.
New subscribers are eligible for a 14-day free trial of either plan. The trial starts when you initiate the subscription in the app. During the trial you have full access to all cloud sync features.
The trial automatically converts to a paid subscription at the end of the 14-day period unless you cancel before it ends. To avoid being charged, cancel through Google Play at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
Only new customers are eligible for the free trial. If you’ve previously had an active TreeNote Cloud subscription (paid or trialing), you will be charged immediately upon subscribing rather than entering another trial.
Your subscription automatically renews at the price above at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Google Play will charge your payment method on file for the renewal.
The renewal price is the current listed price at the time of renewal, which may differ from the price you originally paid if we have adjusted pricing since. You will be notified via email of any price change at least 30 days before it takes effect on your account, giving you time to cancel if you do not accept the new price.
You can cancel your subscription at any time through:
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will continue to have full access to cloud sync until that end date. There is no partial-period cancellation.
All purchases and subscription payments are handled and refunded by Google Play, not by us. To request a refund, contact Google Play directly through the Google Play Store app or https://support.google.com/googleplay. Google’s refund policy governs — typically refunds are available within 48 hours of purchase for subscription products.
We do not process refunds directly and cannot override Google’s refund decisions.
We may issue invite codes granting complimentary (“comp”) access to TreeNote Cloud, typically for beta testers, review copies, or promotional purposes. Comp access has no monetary value, cannot be transferred or resold, and may be revoked at our discretion (typically only for policy violations under Section 5).
You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms.
You retain full ownership of the notes, tasks, and other content you create in TreeNote (“Your Content”). We do not claim any intellectual property rights in Your Content.
To operate the cloud sync service, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, transmit, process, back up, and display Your Content — but only as necessary to provide the Service to you. This license terminates when you delete the content or your account, subject to the retention periods in the Privacy Policy.
You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to the content you store in TreeNote, and that its storage and transmission through our Service does not violate the rights of any third party.
You are solely responsible for backing up Your Content. The in-app export feature (Settings → Export all data) lets you download a complete copy at any time.
TreeNote — including the app, its source code, design, branding, and cloud infrastructure — is our intellectual property or licensed to us. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for personal or internal business purposes only, subject to these Terms.
The name “TreeNote,” any associated logos or branding, and the tree-note paradigm as implemented in this app are proprietary. You may not use them for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent.
The Service integrates with third-party services (Google Play for distribution and billing; RevenueCat for subscription event processing; Supabase for cloud infrastructure). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies:
We are not responsible for these third-party services’ availability, performance, or content.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT (a) THE SERVICE WILL FUNCTION UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; (b) ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; (c) THE SERVICE IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR (d) THE RESULTS OF USING THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, some of the above exclusions may not apply to you, and you may have additional statutory rights.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (i) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE; (ii) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE; (iii) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE; OR (iv) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT — WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR $100 USD IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID US ANYTHING IN THAT PERIOD.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, some of the above limitations may not apply to you, and our liability will be limited to the extent permitted by law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) Your Content; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third party’s rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights; or (d) any use of the Service through your account.
You may terminate these Terms at any time by deleting your account and uninstalling the app.
We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, if you violate these Terms or engage in conduct we reasonably believe is harmful to us, other users, or third parties. On termination for cause:
If we terminate a paid subscription for reasons other than your violation of these Terms, we will refund the prorated unused portion of your current billing period through Google Play.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved as follows:
Class action waiver: To the extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute will be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
If you’re located in the European Union, this section does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance by email (to signed-in users) or by in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, cancel your subscription and stop using the Service before the effective date.
Non-material changes — for example, fixing typos, clarifying existing language — will be published without advance notice; the “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the change.
