Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Bookmarker, a macOS application (the “App”), and the website at bookmarker.cc. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Description of the App

Bookmarker is a local-first Mac app for saving and organizing a personal library of links, images, and PDFs. It runs on your own Mac and stores your library in a local database on your device. Features include reading views, full-text search, color palettes, PDF highlights, on-device AI tagging and summarization, optional bring-your-own-key cloud image analysis, and one-click import from sources such as browsers, Pocket, and Raindrop. We may modify, improve, or discontinue features over time.

3. License

Bookmarker is sold as a one-time purchase. Upon purchase, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the App on Macs that you own or control, for your own use. This license includes free updates for the App.

You may not:

• Resell, sublicense, rent, or redistribute the App or your license key.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except where allowed by law.
• Circumvent or tamper with license validation.

4. No account required

Bookmarker does not require you to create an account or sign in. You do not provide us with credentials, and we do not host your library. You are responsible for the security and backup of your own Mac and the data stored on it.

5. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the App. By using it, you represent that you meet this requirement.

6. Your content

Everything you save in Bookmarker stays on your Mac. We do not access, store, or claim any rights to your content. You are solely responsible for the content you save and for ensuring you have the right to save and use it, and that it complies with applicable law.

Content you save from third parties (such as webpages, images, or documents) is subject to those sources' own terms and licensing. The App provides access to such content for your personal use.

7. Third-party services

Bookmarker relies on a small number of third parties, and your use of them is subject to their own terms:

• Apple — the App runs on macOS and uses Apple Foundation Models for on-device AI. Use of macOS is governed by Apple's terms.
• Google Gemini — optional. If you enable cloud image analysis with your own Gemini API key, requests are sent directly from your Mac to Google under your account, subject to Google's terms.
• Lemon Squeezy — our reseller and Merchant of Record for purchases, handling payment, billing, and tax.
• GitHub — distributes the App download and updates.
• Vercel — hosts the bookmarker.cc website.

We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of these third parties, but we work only with reputable providers.

8. Purchases and payments

Bookmarker is a one-time purchase. Payments, billing, invoicing, and applicable taxes are handled by Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record, according to their terms. Prices may change for future purchases, but your existing license is not affected. Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

9. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose.
• Use the App to store or process content in violation of applicable law or the rights of others.
• Tamper with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App's licensing or our systems.

10. Intellectual property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the App and the website (excluding your content) are owned by us or our licensors.

You agree not to use our trademarks, logos, or branding without prior written consent.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will meet your requirements. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of your library.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill arising from your use of, or inability to use, the App.

In no event shall our total liability for all claims relating to the App exceed the amount you paid for your license. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms. Because your library is stored locally on your Mac, ending your license does not delete your data — you control it on your own device.

14. Changes to the App and Terms

We may update the App and these Terms from time to time. When we update these Terms, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you. Your continued use of the App after changes become effective constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
