Terms of use

Acceptance, and who may use Augmenter

These terms are an agreement between you and Northbrook PBC, a Delaware public benefit corporation. By using augmenter.com, or by installing or using Augmenter on a Mac or an iPhone, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use any of it.

You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you are saying you have the authority to bind it, and "you" means that company.

Your account

Augmenter needs an account, and the only way in is a Google account. Keep your sign-in to yourself and tell us promptly if you think someone else has access. You are responsible for what happens under your account, including anything the assistant does at the request of someone using it. One account is for one person. You may not share it, resell it, or let someone else use it as their own. A list can have more than one member; each member needs their own account.

Your license to use the apps

While these terms are in effect, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Augmenter on Macs and iPhones you own or control. You may not rent it, sell it, sublicense it, or use it to build a competing product. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or work around its technical limits, except where the law says you may despite this sentence and except where a component is open source, in which case that component’s own license governs it.

The Mac app checks for its own updates and installs them. Keeping it current is part of how it stays safe to use, and we may stop supporting older versions.

Your content, and the narrow license we need

Your lists are yours. The todos, sections, notes, due dates, tags, and history you put into Augmenter belong to you. We claim no ownership of them.

To run the product, you give us permission to process that content for one purpose only: providing Augmenter to you. That means storing it, syncing it between your devices, and sending the parts the assistant needs to the providers named in our privacy policy so it can do what you asked. Nothing else. We do not sell your content, we do not train models on it, and our contracts do not permit our providers to train on it either. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account.

You need the right to put in what you put in. If you add someone else’s details to a todo, that is your call to make and your responsibility under the law where you and they are.

The assistant

Open the Chat tab and Augmenter’s assistant is there. It can create, edit, complete, move, and delete todos, and make sections, in the lists on your account. Three things follow from that.

• It acts only on your instruction, and only on your lists. The assistant runs in a sandbox on our servers that holds only a copy of your lists, and its reach ends there. It cannot act inside your other apps, it cannot see your screen, and it does not run in the background.
• You are responsible for what you ask. A change the assistant makes at your request is your change, with the same effect as if you had made it yourself.
• Models get things wrong. The assistant can misread a request, delete the wrong thing, or state something untrue with confidence. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose, and do not treat what it produces as legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Do anything illegal, harass anyone, or take actions through Augmenter that you could not lawfully take yourself.
• Use the assistant to generate content that is unlawful where it lands, to send spam, or to impersonate someone.
• Break into, overload, or probe our systems outside a good-faith security test.
• Scrape or copy the site or the apps to pass them off as your own, or use our name, writing, or designs to suggest we endorse you.

Good-faith security research is welcome. Write to hello@augmenter.com with "Security" in the subject, give us a reasonable chance to fix what you found, and do not access, change, or keep anyone else’s data while you look.

Third-party services

Signing in uses your Google account, and the iPhone app comes from Apple. Those services are not ours. They have their own terms and their own privacy policies, and using Augmenter with them does not change either. If Google suspends your account or Apple removes the app, your access can be interrupted through no act of ours, and that is not a breach of these terms.

Fees, renewals, and refunds

Augmenter is free today. Nothing is charged for it, and no payment details are collected. Paid plans are coming, and the rest of this section is how they will work.

Before we ever charge you, we will show you the price, the billing period, and what is included, and you will have to agree to it. Those are the terms of that purchase. Prices are exclusive of taxes unless we say otherwise, and you are responsible for the taxes that apply where you are. Payment is handled by a payment processor; we never see your card number.

A paid plan renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the then-current price, until you cancel. We will tell you before a price change takes effect on your plan, and you can cancel instead of accepting it. You can cancel at any time, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. You keep access until then. Payments are not refundable except where the law requires a refund, or where we decide to give one. If you are somewhere with a statutory cancellation or cooling-off right, that right applies and nothing here takes it away. If a payment fails or is charged back, we may suspend the account until it is settled.

Beta and pre-release features

Some features ship marked beta, preview, or experimental. They are made available as they are, may change or disappear, may lose data, and are excluded from any commitment about availability or support. Use your judgment about what you point them at.

Our intellectual property

The Augmenter name, the words, designs, and code on this site, and the apps themselves belong to Northbrook PBC, except where a component is separately licensed. These terms give you permission to use Augmenter. They do not give you any rights in it beyond that.

Feedback

If you send us an idea about how Augmenter should work, we can use it freely, without owing you anything and without any obligation of confidence. Please do not send us anything you want kept secret or expect to be paid for.

Disclaimers

Augmenter and this site are provided as they are and as available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not promise that Augmenter will be uninterrupted, error free, or accurate, that sync will always be immediate, or that the assistant will understand you correctly. Some places do not allow these disclaimers, in which case they do not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Northbrook PBC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, or lost or corrupted data, arising out of or relating to Augmenter, however caused and on any theory of liability.

To the extent the law allows, our total liability for all claims relating to Augmenter is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or one hundred US dollars. These limits apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some places do not allow these limits, in which case they do not apply to you.

Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of how you used Augmenter, what you put into it, what you asked the assistant to do, or your breach of these terms or of someone else’s rights, you will defend us, and cover the damages, losses, and reasonable legal costs that result. We will tell you about the claim promptly and let you control the defense, as long as no settlement admits anything on our behalf or binds us without our agreement.

Termination

You can stop using Augmenter at any time. To close your account and have your data deleted, write to hello@augmenter.com; there is no in-app deletion yet.

We can suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if it is necessary to protect other people or our systems, or if we are required to. Where the situation allows it, we will warn you first and give you a chance to fix it. If we end your access without cause, we will refund the unused part of any prepaid period. The sections on your content, intellectual property, feedback, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and disputes survive the end of this agreement.

Governing law and disputes

If you have a problem, write to hello@augmenter.com first and give us thirty days to sort it out. Most things are faster to fix that way, and we would rather fix them than argue about them.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute that informal resolution does not settle belongs in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and we each consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. If the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim closer to home, or entitles you to the protection of your local consumer law, that right stands and nothing here waives it. There is no arbitration clause in these terms.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms as Augmenter changes. The date at the top will change with them, and material changes will be described plainly and announced before they take effect. If you keep using Augmenter after that, you are agreeing to the new terms. If you do not want them, stop using it and ask us to delete your account.

These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about Augmenter. If any part of them is unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Not enforcing something once does not waive it. You may not assign this agreement; we may assign it to an affiliate or in connection with a merger or sale of the business.
