Tidy Terms of Service

DRAFT — not reviewed by counsel. Values in [TBD: …] must be filled in before publishing.

Effective date: [TBD: effective date] Last updated: [TBD: date]

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and [TBD: legal company name] ("Tidy", "we", "us") and govern your use of the Tidy desktop app for macOS, the Tidy backend service, and the website at https://tidy.fyi (together, the "Service"). By signing in to or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy [TBD: final URL]. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

Tidy brings messages and events from the accounts you connect (such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, KakaoTalk, and Apple Messages) into one inbox on your Mac, helps you turn them into tasks, and lets you reply, archive, label, unsubscribe, and schedule events from Tidy. Some features use AI assistants that you sign into yourself. Features may change over time.

2. Eligibility and accounts

  • You must be at least [TBD: minimum age] years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service.
  • You sign in with a Google account. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your Mac and accounts secure.
  • If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organization.

3. Connected accounts

  • You may connect third-party accounts such as Google, Slack, and Kakao. By connecting an account, you authorize Tidy to access and act on that account as described in the Privacy Policy and as you direct in the app (for example, sending a reply or creating an event).
  • You must have the right to connect each account and to let Tidy access its data. If you connect a work account, you are responsible for following your organization's policies.
  • Your use of each connected service remains subject to that service's own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or changes to their APIs.
  • You can disconnect any account at any time in Tidy's settings.

4. Actions taken through Tidy

Tidy sends messages, changes labels, archives, unsubscribes, and creates or changes calendar events only when you ask it to or approve it. You are responsible for the content you send and the actions you approve, including actions prepared by AI features. Review drafts and changes before you approve them.

5. AI features

  • AI features use AI services that you sign into or configure yourself (such as Claude Code, Codex, or your own API keys). Your use of those services is subject to their terms and may count toward your own usage limits or charges with those providers.
  • AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate. Do not rely on it without checking it, especially for important, legal, financial, or medical matters.
  • We do not use your connected-account content to train generalized AI models, as described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service to send spam, harass others, or violate any law or anyone's rights;
  • access accounts or data you are not authorized to access;
  • interfere with, disrupt, or try to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems;
  • reverse engineer the Service except where the law allows it despite this restriction;
  • use the Service to build a competing product, or resell the Service without our permission;
  • use the Service in a way that violates the terms of a connected service.

We may suspend or limit access if we reasonably believe you are violating these Terms or putting the Service or others at risk.

7. Your content

You keep all rights to the content in your connected accounts and the content you create in Tidy ("Your Content"). You give us a limited permission to host, process, and transmit Your Content only as needed to provide the Service to you and as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.

8. Our rights

The Service, including its software, design, and trademarks, belongs to Tidy and its licensors. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Tidy app on Macs you own or control, in line with these Terms. [TBD: note any open-source components and their licenses, e.g. a third-party notices page.]

9. Feedback

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without any obligation to you.

10. Fees

[TBD: The Service is currently provided free of charge / pricing terms. Third-party services you connect, including AI providers, may charge you separately.]

11. Updates

The Tidy app may download and install updates automatically to fix issues, improve security, or add features.

12. Ending your use

  • You may stop using the Service at any time and ask us to delete your account as described in the Privacy Policy.
  • We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we stop offering the Service. Where reasonable, we will give you notice and a chance to request deletion of your data.
  • Sections that by their nature should survive (such as 7–9 and 13–16) survive termination.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT MESSAGES WILL BE DELIVERED, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TIDY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR REVENUE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED [TBD: cap, e.g. the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD 100]. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

15. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Tidy against claims arising from your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms or of others' rights. [TBD: counsel to confirm for consumer users.]

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [TBD: governing law]. Disputes will be resolved in [TBD: courts / venue], unless the law of your country of residence requires otherwise.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or by email before they take effect. [TBD: notice period.] Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept them.

18. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Tidy about the Service. If any part is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
