Terms of Service

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a legal contract between you and MyLifePapers LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Texas, United States ("MyLifePapers," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of:

• the MyLifePapers desktop application,
• the MyLifePapers mobile applications for iOS and Android,
• the website at mylifepapers.com, and
• any related services we offer (together, the "Service").

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information. It is part of these Terms.

2. Your account and license

When you buy MyLifePapers, we issue you a license key. The license grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service on your own devices and, if you choose, with your household members on their devices.

You are responsible for:

• keeping your license key secure,
• keeping your passphrase secure (we cannot recover it for you),
• the activity of any device or household member that uses your license,
• providing accurate information when you buy or contact support, and
• making sure your use of the Service is legal where you live.

One license covers one household. You may not resell, sublicense, or transfer your license to another household without our written consent.

3. Free version

You may use MyLifePapers without a license to create up to 10 records, with every feature available (including cloud sync, Send, and Trusted Access). This is not a time-limited trial: it never expires on a clock, and no features are held back. You may stop at 10 records and pick up later. Records you create remain on your device and are not deleted if you choose not to buy.

To keep more than 10 records, you buy and activate your license.

4. Purchase, billing, and refunds

MyLifePapers is free to use for up to 10 records, with every feature included. A one-time purchase removes the 10-record limit so your household can keep unlimited records. There is no subscription and no recurring charge.

One-time purchase. You buy MyLifePapers once. Payment is processed on our website by our payment processor; we do not sell or process payments inside the application. After your purchase we issue a license key that removes the 10-record limit. Your license does not expire and does not auto-renew.

What your purchase includes. Your purchase covers the current version of MyLifePapers and the ongoing updates we release for it, including bug fixes, security updates, and improvements. It does not guarantee free access to future major versions or to separate new products we may offer. If we release a major new version as a separate paid product, we will tell you whether your existing license includes it. Where it does not, you can keep using the version you bought for as long as you like.

No refunds. All sales are final. We do not offer refunds, in whole or in part. The free version gives you every feature for up to 10 records, with no time limit, so you can evaluate MyLifePapers fully before you buy. Because a license cannot be locked or deactivated once it is activated, we are not able to reverse a purchase, and all sales are final.

If a payment fails or is reversed, we may suspend your access to cloud features until the matter is resolved. Your local data remains on your device.

Taxes. Prices do not include applicable taxes. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or government charges that apply to your purchase.

5. Your content and your data

You own your data. We do not claim any rights in the records, passwords, files, notes, or other content you store in MyLifePapers.

Because your data is encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you know, we cannot read it, cannot share it, and cannot recover it for you. You alone are responsible for:

• remembering your passphrase,
• safeguarding your recovery code,
• backing up your data if you want a second copy outside MyLifePapers, and
• the legality of the content you store.

If you choose to share content using Send or Trusted Access, you are responsible for who you share with and what you share with them.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use MyLifePapers to:

• store, share, or distribute content that is illegal where you live or where the recipient is located, including content that infringes someone else's intellectual property rights;
• store, share, or distribute child sexual abuse material, threats of violence, or content used to harass, defame, or impersonate another person;
• interfere with the Service, the security of other users, or the underlying networks and systems (no probing, scraping at unreasonable rates, or denial-of-service attacks);
• attempt to reverse-engineer the Service, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation;
• circumvent license or trial limits, or share, resell, or sublicense your license; or
• use the Service to build a product that competes with MyLifePapers.

If you violate these rules, we may suspend or terminate your access. Where the law permits, we may report serious violations to the appropriate authorities.

7. Cloud features and third-party services

If you use cloud sync, Send, or Trusted Access, your data travels in encrypted form to either our own cloud storage or to a cloud account you own at a third-party provider (Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, or Apple iCloud).

When you connect a third-party cloud provider:

• you authorize the connection at the provider, not with us, and we never receive your provider credentials;
• the provider's own terms and privacy policy apply to your relationship with them;
• you can revoke our access at any time from the provider's settings, without telling us; and
• our ability to provide cloud features depends on the provider's availability, which is outside our control.

We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party cloud provider, and we do not guarantee that any cloud provider will remain available or continue to support our integration.

8. Availability and modifications to the Service

We work to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The application may need to be updated for security, performance, or compatibility reasons. We may modify, add, or remove features from time to time. We will not remove features in a way that materially degrades a paid license without giving you reasonable notice.

Cloud features depend on internet connectivity, our servers, and the cloud provider you choose. The application itself continues to work locally without an internet connection. You can create, read, edit, and delete records offline.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time, with or without notice, by deleting the application and (if you wish to also remove server-side records) emailing [email protected].

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service or to specific features if:

• you materially breach these Terms or our Acceptable Use rules,
• we are required to do so by law,
• continuing to provide the Service to you presents a serious security or safety risk, or
• we discontinue the Service generally.

Where the situation allows, we will give you advance notice and a reasonable chance to fix the problem. Where it does not, for example where there is an immediate threat to other users, we may act first and notify you afterward.

What happens to your data on termination. Your data on your device is not affected by termination. It stays on your device and continues to work locally. If you used our cloud sync, the encrypted copy we hold is retained while your license is active. If you ask us to delete your license and cloud data (see our Privacy Policy), we remove the encrypted copy we hold.

10. Disclaimers

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these disclaimers may not apply to you. In that case, the warranties are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

11. Limitation of liability

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of these limits may not apply to you. In that case, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MyLifePapers LLC and its officers, members, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of:

• your breach of these Terms or our Acceptable Use rules,
• your violation of any law or third-party right,
• content you stored or shared through the Service, or
• the conduct of any household member or device using your license.

We will promptly notify you of any claim we receive that is covered by this section, and we may, at our discretion, take over its defense at your expense.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

If we have a dispute, we will both try to resolve it informally first. Email us at [email protected] with a description of the issue, and we will respond within 30 days.

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, any claim must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and we both consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you waive any right to bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class, collective, or representative action.

If you live in a jurisdiction whose laws give you the right to bring a claim in your local courts despite this section, those rights are not affected.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make a material change, we will notify you by email (to the address tied to your license) and post a banner inside the application at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

If you do not agree to a change, you may stop using the Service before the change takes effect.

15. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. They replace any prior agreement between us on the same subject.

No waiver. If we do not enforce a right under these Terms in one situation, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest of the Terms will remain in effect.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms to anyone else. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business; we will tell you if we do.

Notices to you. We may send notices to the email address tied to your license. It is your responsibility to keep that address current.

Notices to us. Email [email protected] or write to: MyLifePapers LLC, 5900 Balcones Drive STE 100, Austin, TX 78731, United States.

Force majeure. Neither party is responsible for failure to perform caused by events outside its reasonable control, including acts of nature, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor action, network outages, or third-party provider failures.
