Terms

The short version

• EverData is handed to you as a copy that runs on your Mac. There is no account, and we cannot see inside your vault.
• Your data is yours. You can export it whenever you like, and deleting the vault deletes it.
• Your passphrase cannot be recovered — not by us, not by anyone. If it is lost, the vault is permanently unreadable.
• The software is provided as it is, with no service level. Nothing here takes away a right you have by law.

Who this is between

EverData (“we”) and the person or organisation given a copy of EverData (“you”). Unlocking the app means accepting these terms. If you do not accept them, do not unlock it, and tell us so the copy can be withdrawn.

Overhoeksplein 31, 1031 KS Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

What you may do with your copy

You have a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use EverData on Macs you control, for as long as these terms hold.

• Do not pass your copy on. Each copy is built for the person who receives it and carries data with it. Giving it to someone else hands them that data.
• Do not resell it, rent it, or offer it as a service to anyone else.
• Nothing here limits a right that cannot be limited by law — including the rights EU law gives you to study a program and to obtain interoperability.

Your data, and the passphrase

The contents of your vault are yours. We claim no ownership of them, we do not analyse them, and — as the privacy policy sets out — a copy of them is not held by us.

The passphrase is generated once and stored nowhere. We cannot reset it, recover it, or open a vault without it, and neither can anyone else. That is the deliberate design of an encrypted local vault and the price of it: if you lose those words, the vault cannot be opened again by any means. Keep them somewhere you trust, and keep an export somewhere safe.

Connecting Google

Connecting Google is optional. If you do, your use of Google’s services stays subject to your own agreement with Google. EverData reads only what the privacy policy describes, read-only, and you can revoke the connection at any time without affecting anything already in your vault.

What we provide, and what we do not

EverData runs on your Mac. It does not need us to be online, and it keeps working if we are not. There is no uptime commitment because there is almost nothing to be up.

We may offer new versions from time to time. We do not promise a schedule, and nothing is installed without you choosing to install it. Questions and problems go to the address on the homepage, which is answered by people rather than a system.

As it is

The software is provided as it is and as available, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We do not warrant that it is free of defects or that it will meet a particular purpose. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected by that sentence and by anything else on this page.

Liability

We do not exclude liability for anything that cannot lawfully be excluded — including death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, and intentional or grossly negligent acts. Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profits or opportunities, or for data lost because a passphrase was lost, which this page and the app both warn about plainly.

[owner to confirm: the cap on total liability, and whether any fee has been paid that it should be measured against.]

Ending it

You may stop at any time: delete the vault and the app. We may stop offering updates or support, with reasonable notice. That does not switch off the copy you hold — it runs locally and continues to work.

Changes

If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them, and a material change will be described here rather than absorbed quietly.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of the Netherlands, and a dispute under them goes to the courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. If you are a consumer, that does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country you live in, or of the right to bring a claim in its courts.
