Terms of service

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the orma desktop application, including any associated services, features, and updates (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is provided by TealMonk Technology Inc. ("orma," "we," "us," or "our").

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

1. Description of Service

orma is a desktop application for macOS that aggregates your digital information, including notes, tasks, calendar events, contacts, meeting recordings, bookmarks, and other items, into a unified personal timeline. orma is designed as an aggregator of your existing digital information, not a replacement for the tools that create it.

The Service may include optional features that rely on third-party services, including but not limited to transcription, summarisation, and AI-powered search. These features may require separate accounts or subscriptions with third-party providers and are subject to those providers' own terms and conditions.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

3. Account and Access

Certain features of the Service may require you to authenticate with third-party services (such as Google Calendar or Linear). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities that occur under your accounts. We do not store your third-party passwords; authentication tokens are stored on your device using your operating system's secure credential storage.

We reserve the right to suspend or restrict access to the Service at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to suspected misuse or violation of these Terms.

4. Your Data

4.1 On-Device Storage

Your data is stored on your device. We do not maintain copies of your personal data on our servers, and we do not use, sell, or share your data with third parties for commercial purposes.

4.2 Server-Side Processing

Certain features of the Service, such as syncing across devices, delivering personalised digests, and maintaining configuration necessary to provide functionality, may require limited data to be transmitted to and temporarily processed by our servers. This data is used solely for the purpose of delivering the relevant feature and is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

4.3 AI and Third-Party Processing

Features such as transcription and AI-powered summarisation may transmit portions of your data to third-party service providers (such as Deepgram or Google) for processing. By enabling these features, you acknowledge and consent to this processing. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers.

4.4 Security

We make commercially reasonable efforts to protect the security of your data, including data in transit between your device and our servers or third-party services. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4.5 Data Responsibility

Because your data resides primarily on your device, you are responsible for maintaining backups of your data. We are not responsible for data loss resulting from device failure, software issues, accidental deletion, or any other cause.

The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or that it will be free from interruptions, errors, or defects. We may perform maintenance, updates, or changes at any time without prior notice.

8.2 Right to Modify or Discontinue

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, temporarily or permanently, at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.
