These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of NotchCode ("the Software"), a macOS application developed by NotchCode ("the Licensor", "we", "us"). By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Upon purchase, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use one copy of the Software on one (1) computer that you own or control. Each device requires a separate license.
The Software offers a seven (7) day free trial period. A valid payment method is required to start the trial. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, you will be automatically charged the purchase price of $19.99 USD. You may cancel at any time during the trial period through Paddle (our payment processor) without being charged.
The Software is sold as a one-time purchase for $19.99 USD. Payment is processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. Paddle handles all billing, tax collection, and payment processing. Prices may change for future purchases, but your license remains valid regardless of price changes.
We offer a fourteen (14) day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase. If you are not satisfied with the Software, contact Paddle or email us at support@notchcode.dev for a full refund. Refunds are processed through Paddle.
Your license includes free updates within the same major version (e.g., all 1.x releases). Major version upgrades (e.g., 2.0) may require an additional purchase at a discounted rate for existing customers. The Software may check for updates by contacting our servers. No personal data is transmitted during these checks.

The Software and all associated intellectual property rights are owned by the Licensor. This license does not grant you any ownership rights. NotchCode is based in part on Claude Island by Farouq Aldori, used under the Apache License 2.0. See the NOTICE file included with the Software for full attribution.
The Software integrates with third-party AI coding tools (Claude Code by Anthropic, Gemini CLI by Google, Codex by OpenAI). We are not affiliated with these companies. Your use of their tools is governed by their respective terms of service. The Software does not transmit your code or AI session data to any third party.
Your privacy is important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle your information. In summary: the Software operates locally, collects no telemetry, and makes minimal network connections (license validation and update checks only).
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR COMPATIBLE WITH ALL HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CONFIGURATIONS.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.
This license is effective until terminated. It will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with any term of these Terms. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies. You may terminate at any time by uninstalling the Software.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Israel, without regard to conflict of law principles.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Software after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
