Terms of Service

Last updated: May 6, 2026

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you and BeeMind ("BeeMind," "we," "our," or "us") governing your access to and use of the BeeMind website at beemind.app, the BeeMind macOS application (distributed via beemind.app and via Setapp), the BeeMind iOS/iPadOS application (distributed via the Apple App Store), and any related services (collectively, the "Service").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the European Economic Area) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms (and, where applicable, payment of applicable fees), BeeMind grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the BeeMind applications on devices that you own or control, solely for your personal or internal business use.

All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by BeeMind and its licensors. The Service is licensed, not sold.

4. Distribution Channels

BeeMind is distributed through the following channels:

  • BeeMind for Mac via beemind.app — downloaded directly from our website and licensed under these Terms. Subscriptions and payments are processed by our payment provider.
  • BeeMind for Mac via Setapp — distributed as part of the Setapp subscription service operated by MacPaw. Your access is governed additionally by the Setapp Terms of Use. Billing, refunds, and account management for Setapp users are handled by MacPaw, not by BeeMind.
  • BeeMind for iPhone & iPad via the App Store — distributed by Apple under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA"). To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA, the Apple EULA controls for App Store installations. Billing, refunds, and subscription management for App Store users are handled by Apple.

5. Subscriptions, Pricing & Refunds

Some features of the Service require a paid subscription (e.g., BeeMind Pro). Pricing, billing cycles, and feature inclusions are described on our pricing page at the time of purchase and may change for future billing periods. We will give reasonable notice of material changes.

Direct purchases (beemind.app): Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. You can request a refund within 14 days of purchase by contacting support. Refunds outside this window are at our sole discretion.

Setapp users: All billing, cancellations, and refunds are managed by MacPaw under the Setapp Terms of Use. We cannot issue refunds for Setapp subscriptions.

App Store users: All billing, cancellations, and refunds are managed by Apple under your App Store account. We cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:

  • Use the Service in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law;
  • Copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, lease, or rent the Service or any part of it;
  • Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
  • Use the Service to capture, store, transmit, or process content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, or otherwise objectionable;
  • Use the Service to develop a competing product, train machine-learning models, or scrape its outputs in bulk;
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or interfere with or disrupt its integrity or performance;
  • Circumvent any license, authentication, or usage limit applicable to the Service;
  • Use automated means to register accounts, submit content, or otherwise abuse the Service.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms.

7. Your Content

You retain all rights in the notes, links, snippets, and other content you capture or create using the Service ("Your Content"). BeeMind does not claim ownership of Your Content.

Your Content is stored locally on your device by default and, for premium users, may sync via your personal iCloud account. You are solely responsible for Your Content and for maintaining your own backups. We are not liable for any loss, corruption, or unavailability of Your Content.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to capture and use Your Content with the Service and that doing so does not violate any law or third-party right.

8. AI Features & Third-Party Providers

The Service offers AI-powered features that can route Your Content to a third-party AI provider (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local model) of your choice. By enabling such features, you authorize BeeMind to transmit the relevant content to the provider you select.

AI outputs are generated by third-party models and may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or otherwise unsuitable for your purpose. You are solely responsible for reviewing AI outputs before relying on them. BeeMind does not warrant the accuracy, reliability, legality, or fitness for a particular purpose of any AI output, and is not responsible for the privacy practices, terms, or availability of any third-party provider.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all software, designs, text, graphics, logos, and the "BeeMind" name and marks, is owned by BeeMind or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use BeeMind's trademarks, logos, domain names, or other brand features without our prior written consent.

10. Feedback

If you submit suggestions, ideas, bug reports, or other feedback to us, you grant BeeMind a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and exploit that feedback for any purpose, without obligation or compensation to you.

11. Updates & Changes to the Service

We may release updates, modifications, or new versions of the Service from time to time, and may add, change, or remove features at our discretion. We may also discontinue the Service in whole or in part. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BEEMIND DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM US CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL BEEMIND, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT BEEMIND HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN ANY EVENT, BEEMIND'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO BEEMIND FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BeeMind and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your use or misuse of the Service, (b) Your Content, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.

15. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability) will survive.

16. Third-Party Services and Stores

The Service may interoperate with third-party services and platforms (including Apple, MacPaw/Setapp, OpenAI, Anthropic, iCloud, and others). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. BeeMind is not responsible for any third-party service. The App Store version of BeeMind is additionally subject to the Apple EULA, and Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you with respect to that version.

17. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which BeeMind is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You and BeeMind agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, except that either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and BeeMind waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of them. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

19. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other notices we publish in connection with the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and BeeMind regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements on that subject.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms without restriction. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, or joint venture between you and BeeMind.
