Terms of Use

// last_updated: 2026-05 // effective_date: 2026-05

01 Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and John Taverna, doing business as UncSoft ("we", "us", or "our"), governing your use of the cyberWriter application ("the App").

By downloading, installing, or using cyberWriter, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

02 License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use cyberWriter on devices you own or control, for personal or internal commercial purposes.

The license duration depends on how you obtained the App:

• Mac App Store: Governed by Apple's Standard EULA and your purchase
• Lemon Squeezy (direct): Perpetual license tied to your purchase, subject to these Terms
• Setapp: Tied to your active Setapp subscription; the license terminates when your subscription ends

03 Distribution Channels

cyberWriter is distributed through several channels. Billing, subscription management, refunds, and account issues are governed by the distributor you used to obtain the App, not by us:

• Mac App Store: Governed by Apple's terms — contact Apple for refunds and billing
• Lemon Squeezy: Governed by Lemon Squeezy's terms — contact them for purchase support
• Setapp: Governed by Setapp's Terms of Use — contact MacPaw/Setapp for subscription matters

Each distributor maintains its own separate agreement with you. These Terms govern your use of the App itself, regardless of channel.

04 Permitted Use

You may use cyberWriter to:

• Create, edit, and export documents for personal or commercial purposes
• Use AI-assisted writing features included in the App
• Preview HTML and Markdown content locally
• Install the App on devices you own or control, consistent with your distribution channel's terms

05 Restrictions

You agree not to:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law
• Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App
• Redistribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or transfer the App or your license
• Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices
• Use the App to develop a competing product or service
• Circumvent license validation, copy protection, or security mechanisms
• Use the App for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of any applicable law or regulation
• Use the App to generate, store, or process content that is illegal, harmful, defamatory, infringing, or that violates the rights of others

06 AI Features

cyberWriter includes AI-assisted features that may generate, suggest, or transform text. By using these features, you acknowledge and agree that:

• AI output is not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, current, or appropriate for your use case
• AI output may contain errors, biases, omissions, or content that is offensive or misleading
• You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and editing AI-generated content before relying on or distributing it
• AI features must not be used for high-stakes decisions (medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, or similar) without independent verification by qualified professionals
• You retain all rights to content you create using the App, subject to any third-party AI provider terms that may apply to specific features

07 Web Content & HTML Preview

cyberWriter includes a local HTML preview powered by macOS WKWebView. This component may render external resources (links, images, scripts) referenced in the documents you open or create.

• We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party content rendered through the preview
• You are responsible for the content of the documents you open and the safety of any external resources they reference
• External links opened from within the App are governed by the terms and privacy policies of those destinations

08 Your Content

You retain all ownership and rights to the documents and content you create with cyberWriter. We claim no ownership over your content.

Consistent with our Privacy Policy, we do not collect, transmit, or store your documents. Your content remains on your device.

09 Intellectual Property

cyberWriter, including all source code, design, branding, logos, trademarks, documentation, and associated materials, is the exclusive property of John Taverna (UncSoft) and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or branding. "cyberWriter," "UncSoft," and associated marks may not be used without prior written permission.

10 Age Requirement

cyberWriter is intended for users 17 years of age or older. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement. The age threshold reflects the inclusion of AI-generated content and unrestricted web rendering, which may produce material unsuitable for younger users.

If you are under 17, do not use the App. If we become aware that a user is under 17, we may terminate access.

11 Updates & Modifications

We may, at our discretion, release updates, patches, new features, or modifications to the App. Such updates may be required for continued use and may change functionality. We are under no obligation to provide updates, maintenance, or support.

12 Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we expressly disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to: implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, accuracy, and quiet enjoyment.

We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, free of viruses or harmful components, or that defects will be corrected. We do not warrant the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any AI output, rendered content, exported document, or any other result produced by the App.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in such jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall John Taverna (UncSoft) be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the App — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the App shall not exceed fifty US dollars ($50.00 USD).

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and regardless of whether the damages were foreseeable. This limitation is a fundamental basis of the bargain between you and us.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages; in such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

14 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless John Taverna (UncSoft), and any successors, assigns, agents, and affiliates, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use or misuse of the App
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party
• Content you create, process, or distribute using the App
• Your use of AI-generated output, including any reliance on such output

15 Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. We may suspend or terminate your license and access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms.

You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App and ceasing all use. Termination does not entitle you to any refund, except as required by your distribution channel's policies.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law — shall survive.

16 Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in New York County, New York. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver

You agree that any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis only. You waive any right to bring or participate in a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding.

Time Limit on Claims

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the App must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim is permanently barred, except where applicable law prohibits such limitation.

17 Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, your remedy is to stop using the App.

18 Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable distribution channel agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.

Severability. If any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or formation of a successor business entity (such as an LLC), without notice.

Force Majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond our reasonable control.
