Terms of Use

By downloading, installing, or using NoctForge ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms") and the NoctForge Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use the App. This agreement constitutes a legally binding End User Licence Agreement (EULA) between you ("User") and Glowseed Studio ("Glowseed Studio", "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms cover the full NoctForge application and all bundled tools, including NoctForge Notes, StitchPDF, NoctForge Authenticator, and every other feature included in the App.

Glowseed Studio grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited licence to download, install, and use the App solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes, in accordance with these Terms. This licence does not include the right to sublicence, resell, redistribute, or make the App available to any third party in any form.

NoctForge is closed-source, proprietary software. The source code is not publicly available, and no part of this licence grants you any rights to the source code, underlying algorithms, or internal architecture of the App. We are upfront about this. What we can tell you: the INTERNET permission is absent from the Android manifest (provably offline), all permissions are documented in our Privacy Policy, and every privacy claim is verifiable by behaviour — not just our word.

Access to the full NoctForge feature set is granted upon a single, one-time payment. There are no subscription fees, recurring charges, or in-app purchases required for any feature included at the time of your purchase. The price is listed in Australian Dollars (AUD). Google Play automatically converts to your local currency at checkout — you will see your local price before confirming payment. Future major versions of the App may be released as separate paid upgrades at Glowseed Studio's sole discretion. Updates within the current version are included at no additional charge.

NoctForge is built to function entirely without an internet connection. Our commitments to you: • No data collection. We do not collect analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or personal data of any kind. • Local storage only. All content you create or process — notes, documents, audio, authenticator secrets, music — remains on your device unless you explicitly choose to export or share it. • No watermarks. We do not alter your documents or exports with branding. • No accounts required. NoctForge has no user account system. Nothing is tied to a login or cloud identity.

NoctForge uses the following third-party libraries for fully local, on-device processing. Neither component requires Google Play Services. Neither has network access.

By using the App, you acknowledge the use of these components for local processing only. Glowseed Studio makes no warranty regarding the continued availability or performance of these third-party libraries.

• Our property: The App — including its code, design, interface, branding, and all bundled tools — is the intellectual property of Glowseed Studio. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved. • Your content: You retain full ownership of any documents, notes, images, audio recordings, or other files you create or process using the App. Glowseed Studio claims no intellectual property rights over your content.

You agree not to, and will not permit others to:

User responsibility for data: You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of any data stored within the App. Glowseed Studio is not liable for data loss resulting from device failure, software errors, user error, or any other cause.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Glowseed Studio and its developer from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the App or your breach of these Terms.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

Glowseed Studio reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. If material changes are made, notice will be provided via an in-app prompt when you next open the App. Your continued use of the App after revised Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes. Because we have no user accounts or contact details for you, we encourage you to review this page periodically. Material changes will also be noted in the Play Store release notes.

This licence is effective until terminated. It will terminate automatically and without notice if you fail to comply with any term of this Agreement. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the App and delete all copies in your possession. Glowseed Studio reserves the right to terminate or suspend access to the App (via Google Play licence revocation) in the event of serious breach of these Terms.
