Terms of Service

Last updated: March 28, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Clevernotes apps, browser extension, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service and Beta Status

Clevernotes is a knowledge-capture and life-management service for saving and organizing notes, recordings, screenshots, files, web clips, and other personal information, with goals, habits, projects, tasks, reminders, lists, calendar, and optional AI-powered features layered on top.

Clevernotes is currently in beta. Features may change, improve, move, or be removed as the product evolves. The Service may also be paused or discontinued. We will try to give reasonable notice when practical, but beta software is still experimental.

2. Accounts and Eligibility

You must create an account to use most parts of the Service. You may currently sign in with Google or with an email address and password.

You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.

You must be at least 13 years old to use Clevernotes, or older where local law requires a higher minimum age.

3. Your Content

Ownership: You retain ownership of the content you create, upload, record, or save through Clevernotes ("Your Content").

Permission to run the Service: You give Clevernotes a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, copy, process, transmit, and display Your Content only as needed to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Service during beta. This includes sending relevant content to AI and infrastructure providers described in the Privacy Policy.

Your responsibility: You are responsible for making sure you have the rights and permissions needed to upload or record Your Content, including when you capture meetings or conversations involving other people.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Break the law or violate the rights of others.
• Upload or transmit unlawful, malicious, or abusive content.
• Infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or confidentiality rights.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or connected systems.
• Interfere with, overload, probe, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure.
• Use malware, spam, scraping, or unauthorized automation against the Service outside published interfaces.
• Record meetings or conversations without the consent required by applicable law.

We may remove content, limit features, or suspend accounts that violate these Terms or create risk for the Service or other users.

5. AI Features and Service Boundaries

Clevernotes offers AI-powered features such as transcription, image and document analysis, summarization, structured extraction, semantic features, Sparks, Goals, Habits, and CleverPal. CleverPal supports multiple AI providers that you can select from the model picker.

• AI output can be wrong, incomplete, misleading, or out of date.
• You should independently review important outputs before using them for decisions or follow-through.
• Some AI features require sending relevant content to third-party AI infrastructure as described in the Privacy Policy.
• AI features may change as providers, models, prompts, and beta workflows evolve.
• Goal and habit tracking features use AI to suggest connections and progress insights. These suggestions are informational and should be reviewed before acting on them.

Clevernotes is not an emergency service, a guaranteed records-retention or compliance archive, or a substitute for legal, medical, financial, employment, tax, or other professional advice. Keep your own backups and records for anything important.

6. Third-Party Integrations and MCP

The Service may support optional integrations, including Model Context Protocol (MCP) connections to external assistants or tools.

• You choose whether to enable those integrations.
• You are responsible for reviewing the other provider's terms and privacy practices.
• Once content is sent to an outside provider at your request, Clevernotes cannot control how that provider handles it.
• You can disconnect those integrations when the relevant product controls allow it.

7. Clevernotes Intellectual Property

The Service itself, including the software, design, branding, logos, and documentation, belongs to Clevernotes or its licensors and is protected by applicable law.

These Terms let you use the Service, but they do not give you ownership of Clevernotes branding or other product IP.

If you send feedback or product suggestions, you give Clevernotes permission to use them to improve the Service without compensation or attribution.

8. Pricing

Clevernotes is currently free during beta. We may introduce paid plans or paid features later. If we do, we will give advance notice and will not charge you without your consent to the relevant paid offering.

9. Suspension and Termination

By you: You may stop using the Service at any time. If account deletion is available in the product, you may use it. You may also contact us to request deletion.

By us: We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, create security or legal risk, or if we change or wind down the beta. When practical, we will try to give you a chance to export important content first.

After termination: Your right to use the Service ends, but sections that by their nature should survive termination, such as ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, feedback, and dispute-related sections, will continue to apply.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, Clevernotes disclaims warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not promise uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, preservation of all data in all circumstances, or perfect accuracy from AI-generated outputs.

Some laws do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Clevernotes will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption arising from or related to the Service or these Terms.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Clevernotes's total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid to Clevernotes in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

Some laws do not allow certain liability limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Resolving Concerns

If you have a dispute, concern, or legal question about the Service, please contact us first at legal@clevernotes.ai. We want a chance to understand the issue and try to resolve it in good faith before either side files a formal claim.

If we cannot resolve the issue informally, either side may pursue claims in a court that has proper jurisdiction.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the beta evolves. If we make a material change, we will post the updated Terms here and may also notify users through the product or by email when appropriate. The date at the top shows the latest revision.

If you continue using the Service after updated Terms take effect, you agree to the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.

14. General Provisions

Entire agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the agreement between you and Clevernotes about the Service.

Severability: If one provision is unenforceable, the rest of the Terms will continue to apply.

No waiver: If we do not enforce a provision right away, that does not mean we waive it later.

Notices: We may send notices through the Service, by email, or by posting updates on the website. Legal notices to Clevernotes should be sent to legal@clevernotes.ai.
