Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using md-edit ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service is operated by md-edit ("we", "us", "our"). We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the effective date above.

2. Description of the Service

md-edit is a browser-based Markdown editor. It stores your documents locally in your browser's IndexedDB by default. Optionally, you may enable cloud synchronization via:

• MD-Edit Cloud — stores documents in our database (Supabase, hosted on AWS).
• Google Drive — stores documents in your personal Google Drive account. We do not store or proxy these documents on our servers.

The Service is provided free of charge. We may introduce paid features in the future, but any existing free features will remain available with reasonable notice of changes.

3. Your content

You retain full ownership of any content you create, import, or store using the Service. We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your documents.

By using MD-Edit Cloud, you grant us a limited license to store and transmit your content solely for the purpose of providing the sync service to you. This license terminates when you delete your account or your content.

When using Google Drive sync, your content is transmitted directly between your browser and Google's servers. We do not receive, store, or process your document content at any point.

4. Your responsibilities

• Backups. You are solely responsible for maintaining backup copies of your documents. The Service provides a "Download all as ZIP" feature for this purpose. We strongly recommend using it regularly.
• Browser storage. Documents stored in your browser's IndexedDB may be deleted by your browser, operating system, privacy extensions, or storage management policies at any time without notice. This is outside our control.
• Account security. If you use MD-Edit Cloud or Google Drive, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and access tokens.
• Lawful use. You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose or to store content that violates applicable law.

5. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
• Data stored locally or in the cloud will not be lost, corrupted, or become inaccessible.
• The Service will meet your specific requirements.
• Any defects in the Service will be corrected.

6. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MD-EDIT, ITS OPERATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY:

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
• Loss of data, documents, or content, however caused.
• Loss of profits, revenue, business, or anticipated savings.
• Loss arising from reliance on the Service as a sole storage mechanism.
• Damages arising from third-party service outages (Google, Supabase, Netlify, etc.).

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which liability is asserted (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

7. Data loss and recovery

We are not responsible for data loss. Data loss may occur due to, but not limited to:

• Browser cache or storage being cleared (manually, by the OS, or by privacy tools).
• Sync failures or conflicts between local and cloud copies.
• Third-party service outages, API changes, or account suspensions.
• Software bugs, network interruptions, or device failures.
• User error, including accidental deletion.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure synchronization reliability, but the Service is not a backup solution. You should always maintain independent copies of important documents.

8. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party providers including Google (Drive API, OAuth), Supabase (database, authentication), GitHub (OAuth), and Netlify (hosting). Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for the availability, reliability, or actions of any third-party service. Changes to their APIs, terms, or pricing may affect the functionality of md-edit, and we shall not be liable for any resulting disruption.

9. Service changes and termination

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of significant changes.

You may stop using the Service at any time. Your locally stored documents remain in your browser and are not affected. To remove cloud data, request account deletion (MD-Edit Cloud) or revoke access (Google Drive).

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless md-edit, its operators, and contributors from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or violation of these terms.

11. Governing law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator resides, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.

12. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
