1. the agreement
These terms are an agreement between you and Jotter app (“we”, “us”), the developer of jotter (the “app”). By downloading or using the app you agree to them. They apply alongside Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement; where the two differ, these terms apply to the extent permitted. Our privacy policy explains how information is handled.
2. your licence
We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to use the app on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, including through Family Sharing where it is enabled. You may not copy (except as the Usage Rules allow), modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, rent, lease, sell or redistribute the app, or remove any notices from it, except where the law expressly allows.
3. jotter pro and subscriptions
The notebook is free. jotter pro unlocks reminders, iCloud sync, dusk and night paper, twelve more handwriting styles, the Face ID lock and PDF export. It is offered as:
| Plan | Type | Length | Price (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| jotter pro, monthly | Auto-renewing subscription | 1 month | $4.99 per month |
| jotter pro, yearly | Auto-renewing subscription | 1 year | $14.99 per year |
| jotter pro, lifetime | One-time purchase | No expiry | $39.99 once |
Prices vary by country and may include tax; the price in your currency is always shown in the app and by the App Store before you confirm.
- Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same length and price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
- Managing and cancelling. Manage or cancel in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or in the App Store under your account. Cancelling stops the next renewal; pro stays on until the end of the period you've paid for.
- Free trials. If a free trial is ever offered, its length is shown before you start. Any unused part of a trial ends when you buy a subscription, and the subscription is charged when the trial ends unless cancelled at least 24 hours before.
- Price changes. If a subscription's price changes, Apple will tell you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent before the new price applies.
- Refunds. All payments are processed by Apple, and refunds are at Apple's discretion under its policies. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Nothing here limits refund rights you have under your local consumer law.
- Restoring. Use “restore” in the app to restore pro on a new device signed in to the same Apple Account.
- If pro ends. You keep every page you wrote. Pro features stop, but your words, and the Face ID lock, stay.
4. your content
You own everything you write in jotter. We claim no rights to it, and we don't receive it: your pages are stored on your device and, if you choose, in your own iCloud. You're responsible for your content and for keeping your own copies. We recommend iCloud sync or exporting your notebook from time to time; we can't recover pages we never had.
5. acceptable use
Use the app lawfully. Don't use it to break the law, to infringe anyone's rights, or to interfere with the app, its purchases or any service it connects to.
6. Apple services
Some features rely on services provided by Apple, such as iCloud, notifications, Siri, widgets and Face ID. Your use of them is governed by Apple's own terms, and they may change or be unavailable at times outside our control.
7. our intellectual property
The app, including its design, artwork, sounds, the jotter name and logo and its code, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. Typefaces included under the SIL Open Font License are provided under that licence; copies are bundled with the app. Pictures you share include a small “jotter.” mark; you may share them freely.
8. no warranty
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that reminders or sync will always be delivered on time.
In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to any warranty are our responsibility, not Apple's, to the extent they cannot be disclaimed.
9. limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the app. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the app and jotter pro in the twelve months before the claim.
Some jurisdictions don't allow these exclusions or limits, so they apply only as far as your local law permits. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.
10. App Store terms
If you got the app from Apple's App Store, you and we acknowledge that:
- These terms are between you and us only, not with Apple, and we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app. We provide support as described on our support page.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
- If a third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the app.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and on your acceptance of them Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
11. ending, changes and governing law
You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it; cancel any subscription separately as described in section 3. Your licence ends automatically if you break these terms. We may update the app and these terms; for material changes we'll update the date above and tell you in the app, and continuing to use the app after that means you accept them. These terms are governed by the laws of the place where the developer is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, but you keep the protection of any mandatory consumer law of the country where you live and may bring claims in your local courts where that law allows. If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
