Terms of Service

Previous versions of these terms are available upon request.

1. Welcome & Agreement

Welcome to Assemble Notes. We built this platform to make writing, organizing, and interacting with mathematical concepts as seamless as possible.

By accessing our website at https://assemblenotes.com or downloading and using the Assemble Notes application, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Service. These terms form a legally binding contract between you and Assemble Notes. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our services.

If you have any questions about these terms before you agree to them, please reach out to us at support@assemblenotes.com.

2. About Our Service

We provide a specialized environment for mathematical note-taking. To ensure you know exactly what to expect, here is how our service operates.

What We Provide

Assemble Notes is available as both a desktop and web-based application. Our core features include a block-based editor, LaTeX formula support, and GeoGebra integrations.

• Free Version: Notes are stored locally on your device by default.
• Pro Subscription: Includes optional cloud synchronization, automatic backups, and version history, powered by our integration with Cloudflare to ensure secure and fast global delivery.

Eligibility

To use Assemble Notes, you must be at least 13 years old (or 16 years old if you reside in the European Economic Area, UK, or other jurisdictions where the age of digital consent is higher). By creating an account, you confirm that you meet these age requirements.

Service Availability

We work hard to keep Assemble Notes running smoothly, but software is rarely perfect. We do not guarantee that our service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure at all times. We may occasionally need to take the platform offline for maintenance, updates, or to address technical issues.

3. Your Account

To access certain features, especially our Pro subscription, you will need to create an account.

Registration and Security

When you register, we collect minimal information—primarily your email address for authentication. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Because your account contains your personal notes and potentially your payment history, you must notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access.

Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process. We need this information to communicate with you about your account, process your payments securely, and provide technical support.

Account Sharing

Your account is for your personal use only. You may not share your login credentials with others or allow third parties to access your Pro subscription features.

4. Acceptable Use

We want Assemble Notes to be a productive tool for everyone. To protect our community and our infrastructure, we require all users to follow basic rules of conduct.

What You Can Do

You are encouraged to use Assemble Notes to write, organize, study, and share your mathematical work, whether for personal, academic, or professional purposes.

Prohibited Activities

When using our platform, you agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Assemble Notes application.
• Use our cloud synchronization features to host or distribute malware, viruses, or malicious code.
• Attempt to bypass our security measures or access data belonging to other users.
• Use automated systems (like bots or scrapers) to interact with our platform in a way that places an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
• Resell or redistribute your Pro subscription access.

Consequences of Violations

If we determine that you have violated these acceptable use rules, we reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account without a refund.

5. Content & Intellectual Property

We respect your ownership of your work, and we ask that you respect our ownership of the platform.

Your Content

You retain full ownership of all notes, formulas, graphs, and other content you create using Assemble Notes. We claim no intellectual property rights over your work.

License to Us

If you use our Pro subscription, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, and back up your notes on our Cloudflare servers. This license is strictly limited to the technical actions required to provide you with cloud synchronization, version history, and automatic backups.

Our Intellectual Property

Assemble Notes owns all rights, title, and interest in the application itself. This includes our block-based editor, user interface, branding, logos, and underlying code. You may not use our intellectual property without our express written permission.

6. Payments & Billing

If you choose to upgrade to our Pro subscription, the following payment terms apply.

Pricing and Billing Cycles

Pro subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on your selection). All prices are clearly displayed on our website prior to purchase. We process all financial transactions securely through Stripe. Assemble Notes does not directly store your full credit card information.

Subscription Changes and Cancellation

You can cancel your Pro subscription at any time through your account settings. If you cancel, you will retain access to your Pro features until the end of your current paid billing cycle. After that, your account will revert to the free version, and cloud synchronization will be disabled.

Refund Policy

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for new Pro subscriptions. If you are not satisfied with the cloud features within the first 14 days of your initial purchase, contact us at support@assemblenotes.com for a full refund. Beyond this 14-day window, we do not offer partial refunds for unused time on a subscription.

Price Changes

We may occasionally change the price of our Pro subscription. If we do, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the price change takes effect, giving you ample time to cancel if you do not agree to the new rate.

7. Privacy

Protecting your data is a core part of our business. Because we serve a global user base, we comply with major privacy frameworks including the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA, and all applicable US State Privacy Laws.

Our data processing is based on your consent and our contractual necessity to provide the service. We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for international data transfers. We retain your data only until you delete your account.

For complete details on how we collect, use, and protect your personal information, please review our comprehensive Privacy Policy.

8. Disclaimers & Limitations

We need to set clear legal boundaries regarding our liability to ensure we can continue offering Assemble Notes sustainably.

"As Is" Service

Assemble Notes is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Data Loss

While our Pro subscription includes automatic backups via Cloudflare, no cloud service is entirely immune to data loss. We strongly recommend that you periodically export your most critical notes. We are not liable for any loss of data, formulas, or graphs.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Assemble Notes shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of the service. In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the greater of $50 USD or the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Note: Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

9. Dispute Resolution

If a disagreement arises, we want to solve it fairly and efficiently.

Informal Resolution

Before filing any formal legal claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at support@assemblenotes.com. We will attempt to resolve the issue within 30 days of receiving your message.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

Because we serve a global audience, these terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside, ensuring you retain your local consumer protection rights. Any formal legal proceedings that cannot be resolved informally shall be brought in the competent courts of your country or state of residence.

10. Changes & Termination

Both our service and the legal landscape will evolve, meaning these terms will occasionally need to be updated.

Modifying These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via the email address associated with your account or through a prominent notice within the application at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of Assemble Notes after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

Termination by You

You may terminate this agreement at any time by deleting your account and discontinuing your use of Assemble Notes.

Termination by Us

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to Assemble Notes if you breach these terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if we decide to discontinue the service entirely (in which case we will provide advance notice and a prorated refund for Pro users).

11. General Legal

These final provisions ensure the legal enforceability of our agreement.

• Severability: If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court, that specific provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of the terms will remain in full force and effect.
• Entire Agreement: These terms, along with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Assemble Notes regarding your use of the service, superseding any prior agreements.
• Assignment: You may not assign or transfer your rights under these terms to anyone else. We may assign our rights and obligations under these terms to a successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

12. Contact Information

We are here to help. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding these Terms of Service, please reach out to us.

Website: https://assemblenotes.com

We aim to respond to all inquiries within 48 business hours.

13. Data Export and Deletion on Termination

We believe your notes belong to you, even if you decide to leave our platform.

If your account is terminated—whether by you canceling your service or by us—you will have a 30-day data export window starting from the date of termination. During this 30-day period, you can log into a restricted version of your account solely to retrieve and export your notes. We provide export options in standard, readable formats (such as Markdown, LaTeX, and JSON) so you can easily transition your work to another platform.

Once this 30-day window expires, your account and all associated data stored on our cloud servers will be permanently and irreversibly deleted from our active systems and backups.

Note on Privacy Policy alignment: As described in our Privacy Policy, account data is removed from active systems immediately upon deletion. Cloud-synced notes and backups are retained for up to 30 days solely to fulfill the export window described above, after which they are permanently deleted.
