Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of AppVerge’s websites, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using any of our Services, including our macOS and iOS apps such as DockFix and SnappyNotes, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, do not use or access the Services.

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, new features, or legal requirements. We will post the revised version on this page with an updated effective date. If we make material changes, we will notify you in-app or by email (if you have opted in). Your continued use of the Services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Use of Services

AppVerge grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use our apps on your Apple-branded device (for example, Mac or iPhone). You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws. You agree not to use the Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose or in any manner that could harm AppVerge or its users.

You must be at least 13 years old to use our Services. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Services and to agree to these Terms on their behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

3. User Responsibilities

You agree to use the Services as intended and will not engage in any conduct that interferes with or disrupts our servers or networks. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials you use to access restricted features or license-protected content. If you suspect any unauthorized use of your account, you must notify us immediately at support@appverge.net.

You are solely responsible for the content you create, save, or modify through our apps. AppVerge is not liable for any loss or corruption of your local data. We strongly recommend that you maintain your own backups if you require persistent storage.

4. License and Updates

If you purchase a paid version of an AppVerge application, you are granted a license to use that version in accordance with these Terms. For purchases through the App Store, licenses are tied to your Apple ID. For direct website purchases, licenses are tied to your account information. We may provide updates, upgrades, patches, or bug fixes (collectively called “Updates”). While we aim to deliver Updates promptly, we do not guarantee immediate availability. Your installation of an Update is subject to these Terms unless otherwise specified.

Updates may include changes to features, user interface, or privacy practices. By installing an Update, you agree to any revised Terms if we notify you that they have changed.

5. Purchases and Refunds

Our paid applications are available via the Apple App Store (for example, SnappyNotes and DockFix) or through direct purchase on our website using Stripe (for example, DockFix Pro). When you purchase through the App Store, Apple handles all payment processing and licensing, and you agree to abide by Apple’s terms and conditions. When you purchase directly from us via Stripe, you provide your payment information to Stripe, and we receive only the necessary details (such as your name, email, and transaction record) to issue a license.

All purchases include a free trial or demo mode allowing you to use the app’s features for a limited time. Because of this trial, all sales are final. We do not provide refunds once a purchase is completed. If you encounter technical issues or feel the app is not functioning as described, please contact us at support@appverge.net within 14 days of purchase, and we will make every effort to help.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

All content, features, and functionality provided by AppVerge—including but not limited to software code, design, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks—are owned by AppVerge or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Services, nor may you reverse-engineer or attempt to extract source code or the underlying structure, except to the extent permitted by law.

We grant you a limited license to use the apps as intended. No title or ownership of the Services is transferred to you under these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by AppVerge.

7. Restrictions and Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use the Services in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our servers or networks. You further agree not to: (a) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services; (b) use bots or automated methods to interact with the Services; (c) reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from our software; or (d) share license keys, serial numbers, or other restricted access credentials.

If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these restrictions, your license may be terminated immediately without notice, and we reserve the right to pursue any legal remedies available.

8. Third-Party Content and Links

Our apps or website may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms of use. If you access a third-party service from our Services, you do so at your own risk, and you should review that third party’s privacy policy and terms before providing any personal information.

9. Limitation of Liability and Dispute Waiver

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AppVerge and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, “AppVerge Parties”) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the Services.

AppVerge’s total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services will not exceed the amount you paid, if any, to AppVerge during the twelve (12) months prior to the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for certain damages; in such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

By using the Services, you agree to irrevocably waive any right to initiate or participate in any legal or administrative proceeding against AppVerge, including but not limited to court actions, class actions, small-claims actions, or binding arbitration. You further waive any right to seek remedies other than those expressly provided by AppVerge, and you agree that no dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services may be brought in any forum.

If any portion of this section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the section will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid portion will be severed. Any challenge to the enforceability of this section must be submitted to the maximum extent permitted by relevant law.

10. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Denmark, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising under or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Services may not be brought before any court. You expressly waive any right to a court proceeding and agree to resolve any issue only as specified in Section 9. You agree that Denmark is the exclusive jurisdiction, even for any arbitration or other dispute resolution, and that you will not attempt to bring any dispute before a court in another location.

11. Changes to Terms of Service

We may modify these Terms at any time. If we modify the Terms materially, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and provide notice within the app or via email (if you have opted in) at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

13. Waiver

No waiver of any provision of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision. AppVerge’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published on our website, constitute the entire agreement between you and AppVerge regarding your use of the Services. Any other policies or agreements referenced in these Terms are incorporated by reference only to the extent explicitly stated.
