Estimated Reading Time: ~15 minutes

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of AfterDiary, including our website, mobile applications, desktop applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is provided by AfterDiary ("we," "us," "our").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and these Terms apply to that organization.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Service with consent of a parent or legal guardian.

The Service is not designed for children under 13.

2. Changes to the Service and Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will take commercially reasonable steps to notify you (for example, via email or in-app notice). Continued use of the Service after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms.

We may modify or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time. We'll try to give advance notice when practical, but we're not obligated to do so.

3. Account Registration and Security

To access certain features, you must create an account.

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. We are not responsible for losses caused by unauthorized access to your account, but you may be liable for our losses caused by your failure to secure your account.

4. Your Data and Your Content

4.1 Your Content

"Content" means information you upload, create, import, store, or send through the Service, including contacts, notes, and interaction history.

You retain ownership of your Content.

This license ends when you delete your Content or account, except:

  • Content may remain in encrypted backups for a limited period (see Privacy Policy)
  • We may retain limited records as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (fraud prevention, billing disputes, security)

Your use of third-party services is at your own risk.

8.1 Subscriptions

If you purchase a subscription, you agree to pay the fees shown at checkout. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled in accordance with the plan and provider rules.

Payments may be processed by third parties (e.g., Stripe, Apple App Store, Google Play). Your billing relationship may be with the platform you purchased through.

8.4 Cancellation

You can cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period unless otherwise required by law.
