Terms of Use — TerseEditor
Effective Date: October 19, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the TerseEditor macOS application (the “App”) published by Nadzeya Yashchuk, Käferheimerstraße 153b / Tür 12, 5071 Wals-Siezenheim, Austria (the “Publisher”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
The short version. TerseEditor is a fast plain-text editor for the Mac. It is free software, available on the Mac App Store and as a notarised direct download from terseeditor.com. Your files stay on your machine. Like any software it can have bugs — keep backups of anything important.
1. Licence
The App is licensed, not sold. You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control. If you obtain the App through the Mac App Store, the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement additionally applies and prevails over these Terms to the extent of any conflict relating to App Store distribution.
2. Updates
The App is updated from time to time: functionality may change, and errors — including errors that could affect files you edit — may occur. You are responsible for maintaining backups of your data.
3. Price
The App is free of charge. If paid tiers are ever introduced, they will be announced in advance on terseeditor.com; nothing will be charged silently.
4. Your Content
Files you open and notes you create remain yours. They are processed locally on your device and never transmitted to the Publisher. You are responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to edit the files you open.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: (a) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent permitted by mandatory law; (b) redistribute the App in modified form or misrepresent its origin; (c) use the App for any unlawful purpose.
6. No Warranty & Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Publisher does not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device. The Publisher's liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the App is excluded to the maximum extent permitted by mandatory law in your jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms limits any right you may have as a consumer that cannot be waived by contract.
7. Privacy
Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
8. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always published at terseeditor.com/terms with the effective date shown above.
9. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Austria, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Salzburg, Austria, have non-exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country of residence within the European Union.
