Terms of Service
Plain-English terms for using Essentials for Safari. Reading the whole thing takes about two minutes.
1. The deal
When you buy Essentials on the Mac App Store, you receive a non-transferable license to use it as permitted by Apple's standard end-user license, Apple's Usage Rules, and Family Sharing settings. Essentials is licensed, not sold. These terms supplement Apple's standard end-user license and are an agreement between you and Pocket Atelier LLC, the maker of Essentials for Safari. Apple is not a party to these supplemental terms and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
2. What we promise
We plan to ship updates and bug fixes for as long as Essentials is sold on the App Store, but we do not guarantee any particular update schedule. We aim to support the two most recent major versions of macOS, but make no warranty that any future macOS or Safari release will be supported. If we ever stop selling Essentials, we will not intentionally disable your local copy. Future macOS, Safari, App Store, or iCloud changes may still affect functionality. Because sync relies on iCloud rather than our own infrastructure, your synced data remains tied to your Apple ID and Apple's iCloud service.
3. What you agree not to do
- Reverse engineer, modify, repackage, or redistribute the app, except where applicable law allows it.
- Use Essentials to violate someone else's rights or local law.
- Abuse our support email — we read every message and would prefer to keep doing so.
4. iCloud sync
If you enable sync, your data lives in your private iCloud storage container. We do not receive or operate a copy of it. Apple's iCloud terms and privacy practices apply to that storage and to iCloud availability.
5. Refunds
All purchases are processed by Apple. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. We will honor any refund Apple grants.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
Essentials is provided "as is." We've tested it carefully and use it ourselves every day, but software has bugs. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
7. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, our maximum liability for any claim related to the app is the amount you paid for it. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
8. Changes to these terms
If we update these terms, the "Last updated" date at the top changes and we note the change in the changelog. Updated terms apply prospectively. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated terms, except where applicable law requires additional notice or consent.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas to resolve any dispute, unless applicable consumer protection law gives you the right to bring a claim somewhere else.
