These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Akari apps, website at https://chronorise.com, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing, downloading, installing, registering for, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of an organization or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization or entity to these Terms.

Akari is a learning product that may include note-taking, spaced repetition, task management, AI-assisted learning, sync, and related features.

We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service from time to time. We try to keep the Service available and reliable, but we do not guarantee that the Service will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or suitable for your particular needs.

Some features may be offered as beta, preview, or experimental features and may be less stable or available than general release features.

You must be old enough to use the Service under the laws that apply to you. If you are under the age of legal majority in your place of residence, you may use the Service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information for your account and to keep that information updated.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe your account has been accessed without authorization or there is any security issue, you must contact us promptly.

You may not sell, lease, transfer, or share your account except as expressly permitted by us.

You retain ownership of the notes, cards, tasks, files, text, images, and other content you create, upload, store, submit, or sync through the Service (“User Content”).

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, process, display, and use your User Content only as necessary to operate, provide, maintain, improve, secure, and support the Service, including sync, backup, search, troubleshooting, and feature delivery.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the rights necessary to submit and use your User Content, and that your User Content does not violate any law or infringe any third-party rights.

You are responsible for backing up important User Content. While we may offer sync, export, versioning, or recovery features, we do not guarantee that any content can always be restored or recovered.

Akari may use a local-first design approach, but that does not mean all features work fully offline or without cloud or third-party services.

If you choose to use BYOS (“Bring Your Own Storage”), including S3, WebDAV, NAS, private cloud, or other third-party storage, you are responsible for your own configuration, credentials, permissions, security, backups, and availability.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss, corruption, disclosure, or inaccessibility of data caused by your configuration errors, leaked credentials, third-party storage failures, network issues, device failures, or other events outside our reasonable control, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct or gross negligence.

You may not use the Service to:

violate applicable law or regulations;

upload, store, or transmit unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, abusive, harmful, or misleading content;

interfere with, disrupt, probe, overload, scrape, crawl, or attack the Service or related systems;

bypass payment mechanisms, access controls, usage limits, quotas, or rate limits;

reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract source code or underlying components of the Service, except where prohibited from restricting that right by applicable law;

impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

If we reasonably believe you violated these Terms or created risk for the Service, our users, or others, we may remove content, limit access, suspend features, or terminate accounts.

The Service may include AI-powered features provided by us or by third-party providers.

You understand that content submitted to AI features, and the outputs generated by those features, may be processed by third-party providers as necessary to deliver the feature.

AI-generated output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, misleading, or inappropriate for your situation. You are responsible for evaluating and deciding whether to rely on any AI output.

AI output should not be relied on as the sole basis for medical, legal, financial, compliance, safety-critical, or other high-risk decisions.

Unless we clearly state otherwise, you should not submit highly sensitive personal data, payment data, government identification numbers, trade secrets, or other confidential information to AI features.

The Service may depend on or integrate with third-party services, including cloud infrastructure, AI providers, payment processors, app stores, and storage providers.

Those third-party services are controlled by their respective providers, not by us. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, legality, or practices of third-party services.

Your use of third-party services may also be subject to the terms, privacy policies, and rules of those third parties.

Some parts of the Service may require payment. Pricing, billing terms, subscription periods, included features, and usage limits will be shown at the time of purchase.

Payments may be processed by our payment provider, including Lemon Squeezy. For certain transactions, Lemon Squeezy may act as the merchant of record and may handle taxes, billing, invoicing, renewals, and payment processing in accordance with its own terms and policies.

If you purchase a subscription, it may automatically renew unless you cancel before the next renewal date. You are responsible for managing your subscription through the purchase flow, customer portal, app store, or other method made available to you.

Except where required by applicable law, or where we expressly state otherwise, payments are generally non-refundable. However, refund requests may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and payment providers may also process refunds or chargeback-related actions under their own rules.

We may change prices, plans, or features for future billing periods. If we do, the changes will generally apply starting from your next billing cycle.

Except for your User Content, the Service and all related software, design, interfaces, branding, logos, trademarks, code, and other content are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or otherwise exploit any part of the Service except as expressly permitted by us or by applicable law.

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

By using the Service, you acknowledge that we may process information as described in the Privacy Policy in order to provide, secure, improve, and support the Service.

You may stop using the Service at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we reasonably believe suspension or termination is necessary to protect the Service, users, third parties, or our business.

After suspension or termination, your right to access the Service or certain User Content may end immediately. We may retain data where required by law, for legitimate security or dispute-resolution purposes, or as part of normal backup and retention cycles, after which it may be deleted.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.”

We disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, reliability, and security.

We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that defects will be corrected.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid to us for the relevant Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. If you have not paid us anything during that period, our total liability will not exceed USD 100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes, we will provide notice by reasonable means, such as through the Service or on our website. The updated Terms will become effective on the date stated in the updated version.

By continuing to use the Service after the updated Terms take effect, you agree to the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the contracting Akari entity is established, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules.

If you are a consumer, these Terms do not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protections available to you under the laws of your country or state of residence.

Before filing a formal legal claim, you and we agree to try to resolve disputes informally by contacting each other first.

Except where applicable law provides otherwise, the courts located in the jurisdiction of the contracting Akari entity will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.
