Terms of Service

By accessing or using Magpie (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Magpie is operated by an independent developer ("Magpie," "I," "me"). Location: New Jersey, USA. For questions or concerns, please use the Contact form.

Age Requirement

You must be at least 13 years old to use Magpie.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and any credentials used to access the Service. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and must notify me promptly of any unauthorized use.

Accurate Information

You agree to provide and maintain accurate account information.

Magpie connects to GitHub via OAuth to access repositories you explicitly choose to connect.

You may revoke Magpie's access at any time through your GitHub account settings; doing so may limit or disable Service functionality but will not affect content already stored in your repositories.

Magpie may create commits in your repositories only in response to actions you take (such as saving or updating content). All commits are authored as the authenticated GitHub user and follow standard GitHub version history.

Your Content

You retain all ownership rights to your notes, ideas, and other content you create or manage using Magpie. Your content lives in your GitHub repositories, which you own and control. Magpie does not act as a primary storage provider for your content.

Limited License to Operate

You grant Magpie a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to access, read, write, and process your content solely to provide the Service at your direction. This license ends when you revoke access, delete your account, or stop using the Service, subject to the limited technical retention described in the Privacy Policy.

AI Processing

Your content may be processed by AI-powered tools to provide features such as formatting, organization, or search. Your content is not used to train external AI models.

Magpie offers an optional SMS feature that lets you text notes to a Magpie phone number. To use this feature, you must link your phone number in your account settings and explicitly consent to receive SMS confirmation messages from Magpie.

Consent & Opt-Out

By linking your phone number, you agree to receive SMS confirmation messages from Magpie. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any Magpie message to opt out at any time. To re-enable the feature, visit your account settings to re-consent. Reply HELP for support.

Rate Limits

To prevent abuse, Magpie limits the number of SMS messages you can send per hour. Messages that exceed these limits will be rejected temporarily. Repeated misuse may result in SMS access being suspended.

Acceptable Use via SMS

SMS notes are subject to the same Acceptable Use rules as the rest of the Service. You may not use the SMS feature to send spam, test automation, or content that violates applicable law or these Terms.

You agree not to: Violate applicable laws or third-party rights. Upload malicious code or attempt to disrupt the Service. Access or probe systems without authorization. Use the Service for harassment, abuse, or other harmful activity.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." I do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

I may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time for maintenance, security, or operational reasons.

You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of important content.

If you want to retain content long-term, ensure it is saved in your GitHub repositories. Because Magpie operates as an access layer on top of GitHub, you can continue to access your content independently of the Service.

The Service is currently free.

If paid features are introduced in the future, I will provide advance notice and a clear way to choose between free and paid options.

Your Right to Stop Using Magpie

You may stop using the Service or close your account at any time by contacting me through the Contact form.

My Right to Suspend or Terminate

I may suspend or terminate access to the Service if you violate these Terms or misuse the Service.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your access to the Service ends. Content stored in your GitHub repositories remains under your control. Data handling after termination follows the Privacy Policy.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Magpie is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. Total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the claim, or $0 if you paid nothing.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Magpie harmless from claims, damages, or expenses arising out of: Your use of the Service. Your violation of these Terms. Your infringement of third-party rights.

Changes to These Terms

I may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
