PenPage Terms of Service

Welcome to PenPage

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of PenPage (the "Service"), a privacy-first note-taking application accessible at penpage.com. By using PenPage, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using PenPage, you confirm that:

• You are at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country)
• You have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms
• You will use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws
• You agree to our Privacy Policy

2. Description of Service

PenPage is a web-based note-taking application that:

• Stores your notes locally in your browser by default (using IndexedDB)
• Optionally syncs your notes to your personal Google Drive account
• Allows you to create, edit, organize, and export notes in Markdown format
• Provides a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) and Markdown editor
• Works offline without requiring an account or login

3. Your Use of PenPage

3.1 Permitted Use

You may use PenPage for personal note-taking, professional documentation, educational purposes, and any lawful purpose that respects these Terms.

3.2 Prohibited Use

You agree NOT to use PenPage for illegal activities, hacking, storing malicious code, violating intellectual property rights, harassment, or overloading the Service's infrastructure.

4. Your Content and Data

4.1 Ownership

You own your content. All notes, text, images, and other content you create in PenPage belong to you. We claim no ownership rights over your content.

4.2 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for the content you create, backing up your important notes, ensuring compliance with applicable laws, and any consequences of sharing or exporting your notes.

4.3 Data Storage and Backup

Important: Because PenPage stores data locally in your browser by default, clearing browser data will delete your notes. We recommend regularly exporting important notes or enabling cloud sync.

5. No Account Required

PenPage does not require account creation. Your notes are tied to your browser and device. We cannot recover notes if you lose access to your browser/device. If you enable Google Drive sync, you use your Google account (subject to Google's terms).

6. Google Drive Integration (Optional)

If you choose to enable Google Drive sync, you must have a valid Google account, grant PenPage permission to read/write files, and can revoke this permission anytime. Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy apply to data stored in Google Drive.

7. Service Availability

PenPage is provided "as-is" and "as available." We do not guarantee 100% uptime or error-free operation. Because PenPage works offline, you can continue using it even if our servers are down.

8. Intellectual Property

The PenPage application, design, code, logos, and trademarks are owned by PenPage. PenPage uses open-source libraries governed by their respective licenses.

9. Privacy and Data Protection

Your privacy is critical to us. Please review our Privacy Policy. Key points: Local-first storage, we don't read or sell your notes, and cloud sync is optional.

10. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

PenPage is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES of any kind. We are NOT liable for any data loss, damages, or losses arising from your use of the Service. You use PenPage at your own risk and are responsible for backing up critical notes.

11. Termination

You can stop using PenPage at any time. To fully remove your data, clear browser data and delete synced files from Google Drive if applicable.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. We'll update the "Last Updated" date and notify users of significant changes. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
