These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Notedrop hosted service available at notedrop.app ("Service"), operated by Bartosz Krawczyk ("we", "us", "our").
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Notedrop is a free, open source note-taking application licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). The source code is publicly available at github.com/Notedrop-App.
These Terms apply only to the hosted instance at notedrop.app. If you self-host Notedrop, these Terms do not apply — you are responsible for your own terms and conditions.
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
You are responsible for:
You must notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
We reserve the right to reclaim usernames or account identifiers that are inactive, misleading, or in violation of these Terms.
You own your content. Notes, attachments, tags, and any other data you create or upload remain entirely yours. We claim no rights, licenses, or ownership over your content whatsoever.
We do not access the content of notes protected by end-to-end encryption. Other content may be processed as necessary to operate and maintain the Service.
We will never:
You can export or delete your data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for details on data retention.
You agree not to use the Service to:
By you: You may delete your account at any time via the in-app settings. Upon deletion, your data is removed as described in our Privacy Policy.
Termination by us: We reserve the right to terminate your account immediately and without prior notice where we reasonably determine that you have violated these Terms. Following termination for a Terms violation, you may not re-register for the Service without our explicit permission.
Suspension: We may suspend access to the Service where reasonably necessary to:
We provide the Service on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Service.
We may:
Because Notedrop is open source (AGPL-3.0), you retain access to the codebase and can self-host the application regardless of the status of the hosted service.
The hosted Service is provided free of charge. There are no paid plans, subscriptions, or premium tiers. This will not change — Notedrop is a FOSS project, not a commercial product.
We do not run ads, sell data, or monetize your usage in any way.
The Service is provided as a general-purpose note-taking tool and is not intended for the storage of critical, regulated, or highly sensitive data. You are responsible for maintaining backups of important information. The in-app export feature is provided for this purpose.
The Notedrop software is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). These Terms govern your use of the hosted Service only and do not supersede or replace the AGPL-3.0 license as it applies to the software itself.
A copy of the AGPL-3.0 license is available at github.com/Notedrop-App.
The Service, including its infrastructure, branding, and design, is owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, branding, or logos, or to the hosted service infrastructure.
This does not affect your rights under the AGPL-3.0 license for the open source software.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that:
You are responsible for maintaining your own backups.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.
Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed €50.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (including Polish and EU consumer protection law).
We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to infrastructure failures, natural disasters, internet outages, or actions of third-party service providers.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland and, where applicable, European Union law.
Any disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Poland. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, you also retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will provide notice (for example, via email or an in-app notification) where reasonably possible before the changes take effect.
Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Minor changes (such as clarifications or corrections) will be reflected by updating the revision date at the top of this page.
