Terms of Use

Effective date: 16 May 2026

Welcome to Trimnote. These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Trimnote mobile application, the related websites, and any other features or services we provide (collectively, the “Service”), operated by the developer of Trimnote (“we”, “us”, “our”). By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the higher minimum age required by the laws of your country) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

2. License to Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to install and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us.

3. Free Service and Payments

The Service is currently offered to you free of charge. We do not require any payment to install or use the application's core features. If we introduce paid features, optional subscriptions, donations, or in-app purchases in the future, those will be subject to additional terms presented to you at the time of purchase.

Except where mandatory consumer-protection law provides otherwise, all payments made through the Service are final and non-refundable. Any refund request relating to a purchase made through Google Play (or any other app-store distribution channel) must be handled in accordance with that store's own refund policy.

4. App-Store Distribution (Google Play)

The application is distributed primarily through the Google Play Store. By downloading and installing the application, you also agree to abide by the Google Play Terms of Service and any other policies that Google LLC and its affiliates (“Google”) impose on applications distributed through Google Play.

Google is not a party to these Terms and has no liability or responsibility for the Service. Distribution, installation updates, technical support handled through the store interface, refund processing, and any other account-level matters relating to your Google Play installation are governed by Google's policies. We may, in the future, distribute the application through additional channels (for example, Samsung Galaxy Store, Huawei AppGallery, F-Droid, or as a direct APK download from this website). Each such distribution channel may have its own additional terms that apply alongside these Terms.

5. Your Device and Local Data

The Service operates primarily on your device. You are responsible for maintaining your device, keeping it updated, and securing any data stored on it. Where the Service does not require an account, we have no access to data that resides only on your device.

6. User Content

“User Content” means any content you create, draw, write, upload, import, store, or otherwise place into the Service, including notes, drawings, handwritten input, questions, text, images, photographs, and PDF documents.

• Ownership. You retain ownership of your User Content. We claim no ownership rights in it.
• License to us. Solely so that we can operate and provide the Service to you (including storing, syncing, displaying, processing, and, where applicable, transmitting your content to third-party services on your behalf), you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, copy, process, transmit, display, and create technical derivative works of your User Content.
• Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for your User Content and for ensuring you have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to upload, import, store, and use it through the Service.

7. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, feature requests, bug reports, mockups, or other feedback regarding the Service (“Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable licence to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, and incorporate that Feedback into any product, service, or feature, in any medium, without any obligation of compensation, credit, or confidentiality to you. Feedback is provided voluntarily and shall not be considered confidential or proprietary to you.

8. Copyright and Third-Party Rights — Disclaimer

You must not upload, import, paste, draw, or otherwise place into the Service any content that is protected by copyright, trademark, or any other intellectual-property right unless you own that content or have obtained all necessary permissions, licences, or rights from the rights holder. This restriction applies in particular — but is not limited — to:

• photographs, illustrations, stock images, and artwork created by others;
• screenshots, scanned or photographed pages from books, magazines, or other publications;
• textbook excerpts, course materials, and lecture notes prepared by third parties;
• exam questions, answer keys, and test materials produced by educational publishers, schools, examination authorities, or other rights holders;
• PDF documents, e-books, and other electronic publications obtained from third parties;
• logos, brand names, trademarks, mascots, characters, and other protected marks;
• music, audio recordings, video clips, and other media owned by third parties;
• software code, datasets, or any other material in which third parties hold rights.

You represent and warrant that any User Content you upload or import is either created by you, is in the public domain, is properly licensed to you, or you otherwise have the full legal right to use, reproduce, and process it through the Service (including transmitting it to the third-party AI Providers described in Section 11).

We disclaim all responsibility and liability for any copyright, trademark, moral rights, publicity rights, database rights, or other intellectual-property infringement arising from User Content. We do not pre-screen, review, monitor, validate, or verify User Content. You alone bear all legal responsibility for the content you place into the Service, and you agree to indemnify us in accordance with Section 16 for any claim arising from User Content that infringes the rights of a third party.

9. IP-Infringement Notice and Take-Down Procedure

If you are a rights holder (or an authorised agent of one) and you believe, in good faith, that content available through the Service infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property right, please send a written notice to us at the email address in Section 23. To enable us to act on it, the notice should contain at least:

1. your full name, postal address, and contact details;
2. identification of the work or right that you claim has been infringed (for example, a copy of the original work, a registration number, or a URL to it);
3. identification of the allegedly infringing content within the Service in sufficient detail for us to locate it;
4. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law;
5. a statement, under penalty of perjury or its equivalent under applicable law, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the rights holder;
6. your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a notice that we consider, in our sole discretion, to be sufficient, we may remove or restrict access to the allegedly infringing content, contact the user who uploaded it, terminate that user's access to the Service, and take any further action we consider appropriate. We aim to acknowledge complete notices within a reasonable time, but we make no binding commitment as to response time, manner, or outcome.

Notices that are incomplete, vague, repetitive, abusive, or submitted in bad faith may be ignored. Knowingly false, misleading, or fraudulent notices may expose the sender to liability under applicable law, and we reserve the right to seek damages and legal costs in connection with such notices.

10. No Warranty on Data, Storage, or Availability

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without warranties of any kind. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

• We do not guarantee that the Service will be available, error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or free of viruses, bugs, or harmful components.
• We do not guarantee the retention, integrity, recoverability, or accuracy of any User Content. Notes, drawings, files, and any other data stored or processed through the Service may be lost, deleted, corrupted, overwritten, or become inaccessible due to device failure, operating-system or application updates, software bugs, third-party service outages, account actions, your own actions, or any other cause.
• You are solely responsible for backing up your User Content. We have no obligation to provide any backup, export, restore, or recovery mechanism, and we shall not be liable in any way for any loss of, damage to, or inability to access your User Content.
• We may, at any time and without notice, modify, suspend, discontinue, limit, or delete any part of the Service, any feature, any account, or any User Content.

11. AI Features and Third-Party Processing

The Service may now or in the future include features powered by artificial intelligence (the “AI Features”), including but not limited to handwriting recognition, content suggestions, summarisation, search, question solving, explanation, translation, and tagging. By using AI Features (or by enabling them where they are optional), you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• Third-party transmission. In order to provide AI Features, the Service may transmit your User Content or portions of it (including notes, drawings, handwriting, images, PDF text, prompts, and metadata) to third-party AI service providers (“AI Providers”). AI Providers may include, without limitation, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Mistral, xAI, and any other providers we may use now or in the future.
• Processing outside our control. User Content sent to AI Providers will be processed on their infrastructure and is subject to their own terms of service, privacy policies, and security practices. We do not control how AI Providers handle data after it reaches their systems.
• Model training and improvement. You acknowledge and consent that User Content transmitted to AI Providers, as well as derivative signals generated from your use of the Service, may be used by those AI Providers and/or by us to operate, evaluate, debug, fine-tune, train, or otherwise improve AI models, datasets, and the Service, including for the development of new features, in accordance with each AI Provider's applicable terms.
• AI output is not advice. Output produced by AI Features may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or misleading. You must not rely on AI output for medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, academic-grading, professional, or any other decision of consequence. AI output is provided for general informational and convenience purposes only, and you remain solely responsible for any action you take based on it.
• Do not upload sensitive information. You agree not to upload, draw, type, or otherwise place into the Service any content that you do not wish to be transmitted to third parties or processed by AI systems. This includes, without limitation, government identification numbers, financial account numbers, payment-card data, medical records, attorney-client communications, trade secrets, biometric data, login credentials, or any other sensitive or confidential information.
• Opting out. Where AI Features are optional and can be disabled within the Service, it is your responsibility to disable them if you do not wish your content to be processed by AI Providers.

12. Prohibited Use

You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to:

• use the Service to upload, store, transmit, or process any content that infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade-secret, publicity, or other intellectual-property or proprietary right of any third party (see Section 8);
• use the Service to upload, store, or transmit any content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, abusive, threatening, harassing, hateful, or that exploits or endangers minors;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service except to the limited extent expressly permitted by mandatory applicable law;
• interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, its servers, or any related systems or networks;
• use the Service or any User Content obtained from it to develop a competing product or to train any machine-learning model without our prior written consent;
• resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service without our prior written consent.

We may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, suspend or terminate your access to the Service if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law.

13. Reserved Rights and Trademarks

“Trimnote”, the Trimnote logo, the application's distinctive “paper and ink” visual identity, the domain trimnote.app, and any related names, marks, slogans, or designs are trademarks (whether registered or unregistered) of the developer of Trimnote.

Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use any of our trademarks, logos, domain names, or other brand features, except as strictly necessary to identify the Service in good-faith, non-misleading references. All other rights in and to the Service — including all intellectual-property rights in the application's source code, user interface, design, layouts, graphics, icons, audio, video, text, and documentation — are reserved by us. No right or licence is granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

14. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service and all content, materials, and AI Features made available through it are provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranty of any kind. We expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, security, uninterrupted access, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we, our affiliates, or our licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, business, goodwill, reputation, or any other intangible loss, arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or any User Content, regardless of the legal theory of liability, and even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you have actually paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 10.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our respective officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to (a) your User Content; (b) your use of, or inability to use, the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights, including any intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights.

17. Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms, or for any unavailability, interruption, degradation, or loss of data, to the extent that the failure, delay, or event is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation: acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, governmental action, sanctions or embargoes, labour disputes, internet or telecommunications outages, failures or disruptions of cloud, hosting, content-delivery, or AI service providers, denial-of-service or other cyberattacks, malware, power failures, and shortages of materials or services.

18. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time. If we make material changes to the Terms, we will update the “Effective date” above and, where reasonable, provide additional notice within the Service. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

19. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the application. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. Sections concerning User Content, copyright disclaimers, no warranty on data, AI Features, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive.

20. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and enforcement offices of Türkiye, except where mandatory consumer-protection law provides otherwise for your benefit.

21. General Provisions

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, agreements, or understandings, whether written or oral, on the same subject matter.

No Waiver. Our failure or delay in enforcing any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of that or any other provision. A waiver shall be effective only if made in writing and signed by us.

Assignment. We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, to any successor in interest, affiliate, or acquirer, without your consent. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this clause is null and void.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, nothing in them is intended to create, or shall be construed as creating, any third-party beneficiary rights in any person other than you and us.

Electronic Communications and Notices. We may give notices to you by email (if you have provided one), by an in-application message, or by a posting on the Service. You consent to receiving such electronic communications, and you agree that they satisfy any legal requirement that the communication be in writing. Any notice to us shall be sent to the email address in Section 23.

Language. These Terms are originally written in English. If we provide a translation, the English version shall prevail in the event of any conflict, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of these Terms.

22. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if modification is not possible, severed; the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
