Terms of Service

Welcome to AxNote!

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the AxNote app and website (collectively, the “Service”), made available by AxNote (“we,” “our,” or “us”). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using AxNote on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, or visionOS, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. App, Availability, and Purchases

1.1 Distribution

AxNote is distributed solely through the Apple App Store and is available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.

1.2 Pricing and AxNote+

The App is available free of charge. An optional in-app purchase called AxNote+ is offered as a one-time, non-consumable purchase that grants access (via a license) to additional features as described in the App or its App Store listing.

1.3 Apple billing and refunds

All purchases, billing, and refunds are processed by Apple. For any questions, disputes, chargebacks, or refund requests related to purchases you must contact Apple (not the Owners). We will follow Apple's decisions and the App Store's policies with respect to billing and refunds.

2. Relationship with Apple / App Store EULA

The version of AxNote distributed through the Apple App Store is licensed to you by Apple Inc. ("Apple") and is subject to Apple's "Licensed Application End User License Agreement" in addition to these Terms. To the extent you obtain AxNote through Apple's App Store, Apple—not AxNote—is the provider of that licensed application for purposes of certain legal rights and remedies. If you purchased or licensed AxNote through the App Store, disputes or claims regarding your purchase (such as billing or refund claims) must be resolved in accordance with Apple's policies and agreements; you acknowledge and agree that Apple may be the appropriate defendant or claims recipient for such matters.

3. Changes to the App and AxNote+

3.1 Feature changes

We reserve the right to add, change, modify, restrict, or remove features in either the free version of AxNote or AxNote+ at any time and without prior notice. Your purchase of AxNote+ does not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available permanently.

3.2 No obligation to maintain features

We may permanently or temporarily disable features, or change how they work, even if you have paid for AxNote+. We will not be liable to you for any change, suspension, or discontinuation of any feature.

4. Restrictions
