Terms of Service

Last updated: June 29, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Mado, a local-first Markdown workspace for macOS ("the App"), provided by Jason Lee ("we", "us"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. License to use

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal or internal business purposes, subject to these Terms.

2. Your account

Some features require an account, which you can create by signing in with Google. You are responsible for the activity that happens under your account and for keeping your sign-in method secure. Please notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

3. Your content

Mado works with Markdown files stored on your own device. You retain all rights to the documents and content you create or edit with the App. We do not claim ownership of your content, and we do not access or store the contents of your documents.

4. Paid templates and purchases

The App may offer templates or features available for purchase. Prices and what is included are shown at the time of purchase. Once a digital purchase has been delivered and made available to your account, it is generally non-refundable except where required by applicable law. We may add, change, or discontinue templates over time.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except where permitted by law;
• Resell, redistribute, or sublicense the App or paid templates without our permission;
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or security of the service.

6. Intellectual property

The App, its design, and its original content (excluding your documents) are owned by us and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding.

7. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services such as Google (for sign-in) and Supabase (for accounts). Your use of those services may also be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of data loss. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of your files.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, arising out of or related to your use of the App.

10. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
