2. 许可与使用限制

在你遵守本协议的前提下，我们授予你一项个人的、非独占的、不可转让、可撤销的许可，用于在你拥有或控制的 Apple 设备上安装并使用本应用，范围以 Apple《App Store 服务条款》所允许的为限。

你同意不进行下列行为：

• 对本应用进行反编译、反向工程、拆解，或试图获取其源代码（适用法律明确允许的除外）；
• 复制、出租、出借、转售、再许可或以其他方式分发本应用；

3. 你的内容与使用责任

你在 Cove 中创建或导入的笔记、日记、任务、标签、图片、视频、文件和其他材料（下称“你的内容”）仍归你或原权利人所有。我们不会因本协议取得使用、复制、展示、训练模型或发布你的内容的授权。

你应确保有权在设备上存储、编辑、导出或分享相应内容，并对内容及其使用方式负责。请勿使用本应用处理违法内容、侵害他人知识产权或隐私的内容，或实施其他违反适用法律的行为。

当你导出、分享或将内容交给第三方应用时，由你决定分享对象与范围，并承担相应后果。第三方接收后的处理不受本协议控制。

4. 存储、同步与内容锁定

你的内容默认保存在 Mac、应用容器或你通过系统文件选择器明确指定的资料库位置。你可以建立本地备份、导入和导出资料，也可以选择开启 iCloud 同步。

开启同步后，内容会通过 Apple CloudKit 进入你 iCloud 账户下的 Cove 私有数据库。Apple 与你的账户设置控制云端保存、恢复和删除。我们没有 Cove 账号系统，也无法通过邮箱替你定位、导出或恢复设备或个人 iCloud 中的笔记。

软件、存储设备、文件系统和云服务都可能发生故障、损坏、冲突或中断。请为重要内容保留独立且可验证的备份，并在执行大规模导入、迁移或删除前确认备份可用。

5. 设备要求与第三方服务

本应用需要 macOS 14 或更高版本。iCloud 同步、地点、天气、链接预览和远程图片等功能需要网络连接、相应系统权限或 Apple 服务；未授权、未登录 iCloud 或无网络时，相关功能会降级或不可用。

本应用使用 Apple 提供的 CloudKit、iCloud 键值存储、定位、地理编码、WeatherKit、照片选择器与 App Store，也可能按你的操作访问网页以生成链接预览。这些服务或网站按其自身条款与政策运行，我们无法控制其可用性、内容或准确性。

系统或第三方服务的更新、变更或中止，可能导致本应用的部分功能失效；我们会在合理范围内适配，但不承诺任何功能永久可用。

6. 费用与购买

1. Acceptance and scope

These terms apply to the Cove macOS app distributed through the Mac App Store (the “App”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you confirm that you have read and accept these terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the App and delete it.

This agreement is between you and the individual developer identified on the App's App Store product page, operating under the One Nexus Design brand (“we,” “us”). Please also read the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

If you are below the age of full legal capacity where you live, use the App only after a guardian has read and accepted these terms.

2. License and restrictions

Subject to these terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

You agree not to:

• decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• copy, rent, lease, resell, sublicense, or otherwise distribute the App;
• circumvent, remove, or damage technical restrictions, marks, or copyright notices in the App;
• call system or network services abnormally through automation, or use the App in ways that could harm the App, other users, Apple's services, or third-party websites;
• use the App for any purpose that violates applicable law or infringes the rights of others.

3. Your content and responsibilities

Notes, journal entries, tasks, tags, images, videos, files, and other material that you create or import into Cove (“your content”) remain yours or belong to their original rights holders. These terms give us no license to use, copy, display, train models on, or publish your content.

You are responsible for having the right to store, edit, export, or share the material involved and for the way you use it. Do not use the App to handle unlawful material, infringe another person's intellectual property or privacy, or otherwise violate applicable law.

When you export, share, or send content to another app, you choose the recipient and scope and accept the consequences. Processing by the recipient is outside these terms.

4. Storage, sync, and content locking

Your content is stored by default on your Mac, in the app container, or in a library location you explicitly choose through the system file picker. You can create local backups, import and export data, and optionally enable iCloud sync.

When sync is enabled, content is stored through Apple CloudKit in Cove's private database within your iCloud account. Apple and your account settings control cloud retention, recovery, and deletion. We have no Cove account system and cannot locate, export, or restore by email the notes on your device or in your personal iCloud account.

Software, storage hardware, file systems, and cloud services can fail, become damaged, conflict, or go offline. Keep independent and verified backups of important content. Confirm that a backup works before a large import, migration, or deletion.

5. Requirements and third-party services

The App requires macOS 14 or later. iCloud sync, place, weather, link preview, and remote-image features require a network connection, relevant system permissions, or Apple services. Those features degrade or become unavailable without permission, an iCloud session, or a network.

The App uses Apple's CloudKit, iCloud key-value storage, location, geocoding, WeatherKit, photo picker, and App Store services. It may also visit a website at your request to create a link preview. Those providers and sites operate under their own terms and policies, and we do not control their availability, content, or accuracy.

Updates, changes, or discontinuation of system or third-party services may break parts of the App. We will adapt within reason but do not promise that any feature remains available indefinitely.

6. Fees and purchases

The current version is free to download and use from the Mac App Store and contains no subscriptions or in-app purchases. If paid features are added later, their price, duration, and benefits will be shown before purchase, and these terms will be updated where needed.

Apple controls downloads, regional availability, and any future payment or refund under its policies. We do not directly collect or store payment information.

7. Intellectual property

The App and its name “Cove,” logo, icons, interface design, illustrations, motion, copy, typography, and code belong to One Nexus Design or the respective rights holders and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. These terms grant a license to use the App and transfer no ownership.

Third-party fonts, open-source components, and assets used in the App remain subject to their own licenses.

Do not use the App's name, logo, or interface for promotion, derivative products, or commercial purposes without written permission. Sharing content you created or exported for personal purposes is fine.

8. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty of uninterrupted, error-free operation or preservation of data.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the App, including content loss, work disruption, or lost profits.

In any event, our aggregate liability under these terms is limited to the amount you actually paid for the App. If you paid nothing, it is limited to the minimum permitted by applicable law.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain liabilities. In those jurisdictions the limitations above apply to the greatest extent the law allows, and they do not affect your statutory consumer rights.

9. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete it at any time, which ends this agreement. Deleting the App normally removes data in its app container, but does not automatically remove a separately chosen library, exports, backups, or iCloud data. Manage those items before deletion.

If you materially breach these terms, your license ends automatically and you must stop using and delete the App. Sections 3, 7, 8, and 11, and any provisions that by their nature should survive, remain in effect after termination.

10. Apple-specific terms

This agreement is between you and us only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the App and its content, maintenance, and support.

• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services for the App.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• We are responsible for addressing third-party claims relating to the App, including product liability, failure to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection or similar laws.
• If a third party claims that the App infringes its intellectual property rights, we are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you as a beneficiary.

11. Changes, governing law, and contact

We may update these terms as features change or the law requires, and will update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted in release notes or in the App where appropriate. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the revised terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the place where you reside, without reducing the mandatory rights you hold under local consumer protection law. The parties will first try to resolve any dispute amicably. Failing that, it may be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction.
