MindmapMD

Terms of Service

MindmapMD Software License Agreement, Version 1.0. This is the public web copy of the LICENSE file shipped with the extension.

MindmapMD ("the Software") is free to install and use, for both personal and commercial purposes. It is licensed, not sold: by installing, using, or accessing the Software, you ("the User") agree to these terms, which set out the conditions that come with the free license. If you do not agree to them, please do not install or use the Software.

1. Grant of License

Subject to the User's compliance with this Agreement, Mau Tanoue (the "Licensor") grants the User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on devices under the User's control, for personal or commercial purposes, free of charge.

2. Restrictions

Normal use of the Software — creating, editing, organizing, and sharing your own mindmaps and Markdown files — is exactly what it is for and is never restricted by this section. The restrictions below concern the Software itself, not your work product. The User shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

  1. Copy, redistribute, publish, sublicense, sell, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer the Software or any part thereof, except via the official Visual Studio Code Marketplace listing operated by the Licensor.
  2. Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, file formats, or internal APIs of the Software, except to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.
  3. Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software.
  4. Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on or within the Software.
  5. Use the Software to develop, market, or distribute any product or service that competes with the Software or the Licensor's paid offerings.
  6. Use the Software in any manner that violates applicable law.

3. Third-Party Components

The Software incorporates open-source components licensed under their respective terms. Such components remain governed by their original licenses and are not subject to this Agreement. License notices for third-party components are preserved within the distributed bundle.

4. Paid Services (Future)

The Licensor may offer separate paid online services ("Paid Services") that integrate with the Software. Use of any Paid Service is subject to additional terms presented at the time of subscription. This Agreement does not, by itself, entitle the User to any Paid Service.

5. Privacy

The Software runs fully on the User's machine and does not transmit user data to any server. Further detail is provided in the Privacy Policy.

6. No Warranty

In plain terms: the Software is provided as-is. We cannot guarantee it will be error-free or fit every purpose.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

7. Limitation of Liability

In plain terms: to the extent the law allows, the Licensor is not liable for damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — the Software.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

8. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. The Licensor may terminate this Agreement at any time if the User breaches any of its terms. Upon termination, the User shall cease all use of the Software and destroy all copies in the User's possession.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Japan having competent jurisdiction over the Licensor's place of business for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, except where mandatory consumer-protection law grants the User a different venue.

10. Changes to These Terms

The Licensor may update this Agreement from time to time. When the Agreement changes, the Licensor will increment the version number shown above, update the effective date below, and publish the revised text on this page; material changes will also be noted in the Software's release notes. Continued use of the Software after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement. If the User does not agree to the revised terms, the User must cease using the Software.

11. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

12. No Waiver

No failure or delay by the Licensor in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right, and no single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude any further exercise of it.

13. Assignment

The User may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights under it without the Licensor's prior written consent. The Licensor may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets relating to the Software. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement binds and benefits the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

14. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy referenced in Section 5, constitutes the entire agreement between the User and the Licensor with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, whether written or oral.
