Terms of Use

These Terms cover the website, native macOS app and licensing services. By using them, or checking the required box inside Polar checkout, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use or purchase the product. The Privacy Policy explains data processing, and the Refund & Withdrawal Policy remains available separately.

You must be at least 13 and legally able to contract. Installations first opened during the initial 24-hour launch window do not receive a free trial. A new installation first opened after that window receives one free trial lasting exactly 72 consecutive hours. No payment method is required and the trial does not automatically convert. At expiry, paid features are blocked until activation, but files remain untouched on disk.

The available plan is Lifetime: EUR 29 as a one-time payment. It includes future Mac versions without a major-version restriction. New Monthly and Yearly subscriptions are no longer offered.

Supported local-currency prices are fixed in advance. The final plan, currency, tax-inclusive total and any discount displayed at Polar checkout control. Promotions cannot be combined unless checkout expressly says otherwise.

A pricing click opens the selected Polar checkout directly. Before payment, Polar shows a required unchecked field linking these Terms. You must actively check it to continue. That agreement does not waive any right that cannot legally be waived.

Polar is merchant of record and processes payment, applicable indirect taxes, invoices and receipts. Prices shown as final at checkout include applicable tax; a bank may separately charge exchange or payment fees. We do not store full card details. After verified payment, Polar emails the receipt and we email the licence key directly to the purchase address. The Polar portal remains available for billing and licence management.

Lifetime has no recurring charge. Previously purchased Monthly and Yearly subscriptions retain the renewal terms accepted at purchase. Cancel an existing subscription any time through the Polar portal at https://themarkdowneditor.app/portal. Cancellation stops future renewals and normally keeps access active through the paid period. Cancellation alone does not create a refund.

A purchase grants one personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app, not ownership of it. Up to 3 devices may be active. You may deactivate an old device. Lifetime covers future Mac versions; Monthly and Yearly are valid while paid and during any displayed technical grace period. Do not publish, sell, share, bypass or reverse engineer a licence key or activation control.

Purchases do not include a voluntary refund, return period or money-back guarantee. This does not exclude or reduce any right or remedy that cannot legally be waived. Full policy: https://themarkdowneditor.app/refund-policy

Mandatory rights override, including any valid EU/EEA 14-day distance-contract withdrawal and remedies for non-conforming digital content or services. Where law requires a full refund, longer period, repair, replacement, price reduction, termination or another remedy, that remedy applies.

Use the request form at https://themarkdowneditor.app/refunds. You can review the request before sending it. The form sends an email confirmation with the request timestamp. We aim to respond within 2 business days. Mandatory deadlines still apply.

Your local files remain yours and are not deleted by trial expiry, cancellation or licence revocation. Keep independent backups. Do not violate law or third-party rights; distribute malware; evade payment, security or activation controls; share a licence beyond its grant; access accounts or repositories without authorization; or disrupt checkout, licensing, GitHub, updates or analytics.

Acceptance is not consent to optional app analytics. Polar handles payment and its portal; Supabase hosts licensing data/functions; Resend delivers email; Vercel hosts the website and cookieless analytics; GitHub supports optional sync/updates; Aptabase provides app analytics; and Apple provides macOS/Keychain. Their terms apply to their services. See https://themarkdowneditor.app/privacy

The app, name, logo, website, design and documentation belong to the operator or licensors, subject to included open-source licences. Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without an SLA. Access may be suspended for fraud, chargeback, refund, material breach or security abuse. A refunded licence may be revoked. Provisions that must survive termination remain in effect.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator disclaims implied warranties and is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, including lost files, profits or data. Total liability is limited to the greater of EUR 100 or the amount paid in the preceding 12 months.

Some jurisdictions do not permit particular exclusions or caps. Nothing excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limits mandatory consumer rights, conformity guarantees or remedies.

The laws of the Republic of Slovenia govern these Terms. This does not override mandatory protections in a consumer's country of residence. Courts with jurisdiction under applicable consumer and procedural law may hear disputes. You may also use any available out-of-court consumer process.

Material changes receive a new date and, where appropriate, notice or renewed acceptance. Continued use after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance where permitted; purchase terms are not retroactively changed contrary to law.
