User Autonomy and Absolute Control

The developers, authors, and owners of this Application do not monitor, control, regulate, censor, or take any administrative responsibility for how You utilize this product.

Absolute Limitation of Legal Liability

We are categorically and unconditionally not liable or responsible for any illegal, unethical, illicit, or improper activities conducted by You using this Application. You assume one hundred percent (100%) of the risk and legal responsibility for the content You write, store, manage, distribute, or otherwise process through the Application.

Technical Liability Waiver

Under no circumstances whatsoever shall the Company, its developers, or affiliates be held liable for any data loss, device corruption, software failures, system crashes, or subsequent damages arising directly or indirectly from Your usage of this software. Because the Application relies entirely on Your local hardware and operating system for storage and processing, We cannot and do not guarantee absolute stability against local hardware failures, unauthorized access, or third-party operating system interventions.

We bear absolutely no liability for any loss of digital assets, notes, or chat records resulting from Your failure to maintain adequate local backups, device loss, accidental deletion, or catastrophic hardware failure.
