Popy
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Popy desktop application, including any associated services, features, and updates (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is provided by the Popy team ("we," "us," or "our").
By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Description of Service
Popy is a desktop application for macOS that aggregates your digital information — including notes, tasks, calendar events, contacts, meeting recordings, bookmarks, and other items — into a unified personal timeline. Popy is designed as an aggregator of your existing digital information, not a replacement for the tools that create it.
The Service may include optional features that rely on third-party services, including but not limited to transcription, summarisation, and AI-powered search. These features may require separate accounts or subscriptions with third-party providers and are subject to those providers' own terms and conditions.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
3. Account and Access
Certain features of the Service may require you to authenticate with third-party services (such as Google Calendar or Linear). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities that occur under your accounts. We do not store your third-party passwords; authentication tokens are stored on your device using your operating system's secure credential storage.
We reserve the right to suspend or restrict access to the Service at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to suspected misuse or violation of these Terms.
4. Your Data
4.1 On-Device Storage
Your data is stored on your device. We do not maintain copies of your personal data on our servers, and we do not use, sell, or share your data with third parties for commercial purposes.
4.2 Server-Side Processing
Certain features of the Service — such as syncing across devices, delivering personalised digests, and maintaining configuration necessary to provide functionality — may require limited data to be transmitted to and temporarily processed by our servers. This data is used solely for the purpose of delivering the relevant feature and is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
4.3 AI and Third-Party Processing
Features such as transcription and AI-powered summarisation may transmit portions of your data to third-party service providers (such as Deepgram or Google) for processing. By enabling these features, you acknowledge and consent to this processing. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers.
4.4 Security
We make commercially reasonable efforts to protect the security of your data, including data in transit between your device and our servers or third-party services. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
4.5 Data Responsibility
Because your data resides primarily on your device, you are responsible for maintaining backups of your data. We are not responsible for data loss resulting from device failure, software issues, accidental deletion, or any other cause.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
(a) use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations;
(b) reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
(c) modify, adapt, or create derivative works based on the Service;
(d) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on the Service;
(e) use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair any server, network, or system associated with the Service;
(f) distribute, sublicense, lease, or otherwise make the Service available to third parties without our prior written consent; or
(g) use the Service to infringe upon the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party.
6. Intellectual Property
The Service, including all software, design, text, graphics, and other content provided by us, is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service. These Terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Service except for the limited licence to use it in accordance with these Terms.
Your data remains yours. We claim no ownership over any content you create, import, or aggregate within the Service.
7. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
Certain features of the Service use artificial intelligence and machine learning to generate summaries, transcriptions, search results, and other outputs. AI-generated content is provided for informational and convenience purposes only. It may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or hallucinations.
You acknowledge that AI-generated content should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any decision, and that you are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any such content. We disclaim all liability for any loss, damage, or harm arising from your reliance on AI-generated content.
8. Service Availability and Modifications
8.1 No Guaranteed Availability
The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or that it will be free from interruptions, errors, or defects. We may perform maintenance, updates, or changes at any time without prior notice.
8.2 Right to Modify or Discontinue
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, temporarily or permanently, at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.
8.3 Updates
We may release updates to the Service from time to time. While we will make reasonable efforts to maintain backward compatibility, updates may alter functionality, and continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of those changes.
9. Fees and Payment
Certain features of the Service may be offered on a free or paid basis. If we introduce paid features, pricing and payment terms will be communicated to you in advance. We reserve the right to change pricing at any time, with reasonable notice to existing subscribers. Free features may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that it will operate without interruption or error, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components.
11. Limitation of Liability
11.1 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 BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
11.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY US DOLLARS (US$50.00).
11.3 The limitations in this section apply regardless of whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some or all of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
12. Notice and Cure Period
Before pursuing any claim or remedy against us relating to the Service, you agree to provide us with written notice describing the nature of the issue in reasonable detail, sent to the contact information provided below. You agree to allow us a period of thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to investigate and, at our sole discretion, attempt to resolve the issue before you take any further action. This requirement does not apply where prohibited by applicable law.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Popy team from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any rights of a third party; or (d) any content you create, import, or process through the Service.
14. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information in connection with the Service is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.
15. Third-Party Services and Integrations
The Service may integrate with or rely upon third-party services, APIs, and platforms. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of any third-party service, and your use of such services is governed by their respective terms and policies. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of third-party services accessed through or in connection with the Service.
16. Termination
16.1 By You
You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the application from your device. Because your data is stored on your device, uninstalling the application does not automatically delete your data files unless you choose to remove them.
16.2 By Us
We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. In the event of termination, sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including but not limited to Sections 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 17) will continue in full force and effect.
17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of that jurisdiction, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
18. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you (such as through an in-app notification or by updating the "Last Updated" date). Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you should discontinue use of the Service.
19. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, shall be severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
20. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral.
21. No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us to be effective.
