MindPen Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the MindPen mobile application (“App”) and related services. By downloading, installing, or using MindPen, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. About MindPen
MindPen is a visual action planner that helps you turn ideas into plans, branches, tasks, follow-ups, notes, and progress tracking. The App is designed primarily to store your working data on your device. Optional Google Drive backup lets you store backups in your own Google account.
2. Eligibility
You must be old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction and comply with all applicable laws. If you use the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
3. License to Use the App
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use MindPen for your personal or internal business planning purposes, subject to these Terms and applicable app store rules.
You may not:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except where allowed by law;
- Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App except as permitted by law;
- Use the App to violate any law or third-party rights;
- Interfere with or disrupt the App, its security, or related systems;
- Use the App to store or transmit unlawful, harmful, or abusive content.
4. Your Content
You retain ownership of the plans, text, tasks, notes, and other content you create in MindPen (“User Content”). You are solely responsible for your User Content and for maintaining appropriate backups.
You grant us only the limited rights necessary to operate the App on your device and, if you enable it, to process backup files through your selected Google account for backup and restore purposes.
5. Local Storage and Backups
- Your primary data is stored locally on your device.
- Deleting the App, clearing app data, or losing your device may result in permanent data loss unless you have a backup.
- Google Drive backup is optional and depends on your Google account, network connection, and Google service availability.
- You are responsible for reviewing backup and restore actions before confirming them.
6. Third-Party Services
Certain features rely on third-party services such as Google Sign-In and Google Drive. Your use of those services is subject to the third party’s terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party outages, policy changes, account suspensions, or data handling outside the App.
7. Notifications and Reminders
MindPen can schedule local reminders for follow-ups you create. Reminder delivery depends on your device settings, battery optimizations, permissions, and operating system behavior. We do not guarantee that every reminder will be delivered at an exact time.
8. App Updates and Changes
We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time. We may also update these Terms. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
9. No Professional Advice
MindPen is a productivity tool only. It does not provide legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice. You are responsible for how you use the App and for decisions made based on your plans or reminders.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR USD $50 IF YOU USE A FREE VERSION.
12. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your User Content, misuse of the App, or violation of these Terms or applicable law.
13. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate access to the App if you violate these Terms or if required by law or app store policy. Sections that by nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnity.
14. App Store Terms
If you downloaded MindPen from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, your use is also subject to the applicable store’s terms. Apple and Google are not responsible for the App or its content except as required by their store policies.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in your country of residence, unless mandatory local law requires otherwise. Courts with competent jurisdiction in your country of residence will generally handle disputes, unless app store or consumer protection rules require a different forum.
