Terms of Service

These terms cover your use of the StowerMessages Mac app, which is distributed through the Mac App Store. By using StowerMessages, you agree to them.

1. App Store terms apply

StowerMessages is distributed through Apple’s Mac App Store. Your purchase, download, and installation are governed by Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple EULA”). These additional terms supplement the Apple EULA only where StowerMessages-specific rules are needed; the Apple EULA controls for anything not addressed here.

2. License to use the app

When you download StowerMessages from the Mac App Store, you get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the app on your own Macs, subject to the usage limits set by Apple and these terms. (StowerMessages’s source code is separately published under the Polyform Noncommercial license; these terms govern your use of the packaged app.)

3. Acceptable use

Use StowerMessages for your own personal messages. Don’t circumvent the licensing, redistribute the packaged app, or use it to violate anyone’s privacy or the law. (You are free to read and modify the public source code under its own license.)

4. Your data and your device

StowerMessages runs on your device and does not send the contents of your messages or contacts anywhere. The app makes no network connections at all — it has no analytics, no crash reporting, and no telemetry. Any feedback you send from inside the app is emailed to the developer, only when you send it. The full detail is in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for your own Mac, your backups, and how you act on what StowerMessages surfaces.

5. Disclaimer

StowerMessages is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. It is a brand-new (0.x) product made by one person. We don’t guarantee it is error-free or that it will catch every message that needs a reply.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and total liability will not exceed the amount you paid for StowerMessages.

7. Changes

We may update these terms; continued use means you accept the changes. We’ll revise the date above when we do.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
