Terms of service

These terms cover VIASTERRA, a journalling application sold by [[SELLER NAME]] of [[ADDRESS]] ("we", "us"). By using the application you agree to them. They are written to be read, not to be impressive.

What you are buying

A personal, non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use VIASTERRA. It is a single payment, not a subscription. There is nothing that renews and nothing to cancel.

[[ACTIVATION POLICY — state how many devices one purchase covers, and whether a key can be moved between devices]]

You may not resell, sublicense, or redistribute the application or your licence key.

The trial

The application can be used free for fourteen days from the first time you open it on a device. No payment details are required and no account is created. When the trial ends, adding new pages requires a licence.

Your existing writing is never locked. When a trial ends, everything you have already written remains readable, searchable, and exportable. We will not withhold your own words from you.

Your writing belongs to you

Everything you write in VIASTERRA is yours. We claim no ownership, no licence, and no right of any kind over it. We do not receive it: it is stored on your device, as described in the privacy policy.

Backups, and the limits of what we can do

Because your journal exists only on your device, we cannot recover it for you. If your browser's data is cleared, the application is removed from your home screen, or the device is lost or damaged, the writing is gone and no one — including us — can retrieve it.

The application provides an export function and reminds you to use it. Keeping backups is your responsibility, and we strongly encourage it. We are not liable for writing lost in these circumstances.

What we promise, and what we do not

We will make a reasonable effort to keep the application working and available, and to fix problems that are reported to us. Beyond that, the application is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose.

We do not promise that the application will be free of faults, that it will run on every device or browser, or that it will remain compatible with future versions of either. Where the law gives you rights as a consumer that cannot be excluded, nothing here limits them.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for any claim relating to VIASTERRA is limited to the amount you paid for it. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost writing, lost time, or lost opportunity.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Acceptable use

Use VIASTERRA for your own journalling. Do not attempt to circumvent the licence, redistribute modified copies as your own product, or use the application to break the law.

If we end the product

If VIASTERRA is ever discontinued, the copy on your device continues to work — it runs locally and does not check in with us. We would give notice on this site, and we would not issue an update that disables an application you have paid for.

Payment and refunds

Payment is taken by [[MERCHANT OF RECORD]] as merchant of record. Their terms govern the transaction itself, including tax. Refunds are covered by our refund policy.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them. Changes are not retroactive: the terms you bought under continue to apply to that purchase.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [[JURISDICTION]].
