Terms of Use — Type

Version: 2026-10-09 (this string is recorded with every acceptance of the Terms)
Effective date: 2026-10-09 (the day of publication at type-note.app/regulamin/)
The Polish version is binding. This English version (type-note.app/terms/) is a translation; where they differ, the Polish text prevails.

1. Provider and general provisions

1. These Terms set out the rules for using Type — a shared notebook for two (the "Service"), available as a web app (app.type-note.app), apps for iOS, iPadOS, Android, macOS and Windows, and the website type-note.app.
2. The Service is provided by USŁUGI IT Bartłomiej Józefiak, a sole trader registered in the Polish Central Register and Information on Business (CEIDG), address: ul. Krótka 4, 55-081 Maniów Wielki, NIP 8961657099, REGON 542702231 (the "Provider", "we").
3. Contact: email hej@type-note.app. We reply within 2 business days. Addresses for specific matters are in §17.
4. These Terms are the terms of service within the meaning of Art. 8 of the Polish Act of 18 July 2002 on providing services by electronic means. We make them available free of charge before the contract is concluded, in a form you can download, save and print.
5. The Service is intended for consumers, i.e. natural persons using it for purposes unrelated to their business or profession. We do not sell the Pro plan to businesses and do not issue invoices to businesses.

2. Definitions

• Account — an individual user account in the Service.
• Notebook — a collection of notes. A shared notebook is a notebook to which its owner has invited at least one other person.
• Your Content — notes, notebooks, lists, files, recordings and other material you add to the Service.
• Free — the free plan. Pro — the paid plan described in §7.
• Trial — 14 days of Pro at no charge, once per Account.
• Pair — the Pro buyer and one person they designate (§7.5).

3. Type and scope of services

1. The Service provides: (a) an Account, (b) creating, editing, storing and syncing Your Content across your devices, (c) live co-editing of notes with the people you share a Notebook with, (d) reminders and notifications, (e) note version history and a trash, (f) export of your notes, notebooks and files, (g) search in notes.
2. The Service is provided for an indefinite period from the creation of the Account. Pro is provided in billing periods (§7.3).
3. We develop the Service. We may change its features provided the change does not materially reduce what you have already paid for in the current period; material changes are announced in advance (§15).

4. Technical requirements

1. You need a device with internet access and one of: a current browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — one of the two latest versions), iOS or iPadOS in a version supported by the App Store app, Android 7.0 or later, macOS 12 or later, or Windows 10 or later; plus an active email address or a Google or Apple account.
2. We support the current and the previous version of the apps. An older version may ask you to update before it works again.
3. The Service uses cookies and browser storage as described in the Privacy Policy.
4. Specific risks of using electronic services include malware, phishing and password theft. Use a unique password and never share it; we never ask for your password by email.

5. Account and conclusion of the contract

1. The contract is concluded when you create an Account — with an email address and password (confirmed through an activation link) or by signing in with Google or Apple — after accepting these Terms. We record the version of the Terms you accepted and the date.
2. You must be at least 16 years old to create an Account. There are no exceptions for younger persons.
3. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. If you suspect someone has accessed your Account, write to security@type-note.app without delay.
4. We may delete an Account unused for 24 months after notifying you by email at least 30 days in advance. This does not apply to an Account with an active Pro subscription.

6. Your Content and shared notebooks

1. Your Content belongs to you. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, copy and transmit it only as needed to provide the Service — for example to sync it to your devices and show it to the people you share a Notebook with. The license ends when you delete the content or the Account, subject to backups (§11).
2. We do not look at Your Content on our own initiative. We access it only when necessary to fix a fault, at your request, or in connection with a notice under §12 or an order of a competent authority.
3. When you share a Notebook, the invited person sees and can edit its content. Revoking access does not remove copies that person has already saved or exported.
4. At any time, on any plan and at no cost you can export your notes, notebooks and uploaded files as one ZIP archive: notes (notes.md and notes.json), notebooks (notebooks.json), uploaded files (attachments/) and a manifest.json listing the contents, including any file that could not be included and why. The archive does not include the trash, version history or your profile, contacts and plan data — we provide those on request sent to privacy@type-note.app.

7. Plans, prices and payments

7.1 Plans

1. Free is free of charge and has no time limit. If you already have more than 3 shared notebooks you lose nothing — the limit only blocks sharing another one.
2. We keep note versions for 90 days on every plan, and deleted notes stay in the trash for 90 days. The plan decides how far back you can view and restore them: on Free, versions and trashed notes from the last 7 days; on Pro (including the trial), all 90 days. On Free you see older ones as locked — they are stored, but viewing and restoring them needs Pro.
3. Prices are in euro. Prices are gross and include VAT. The annual price corresponds to €3.33 per month. For purchases in the App Store the price is the one shown by Apple at the time of purchase, in its currency.
4. We may change the Pro price for future billing periods. We will tell you at least 30 days before the end of the current period; if you do not accept the new price, you can cancel before it takes effect. A price change never applies to a period already paid for.
5. Trial: once per Account you can start 14 days of Pro at no cost. When it ends the Account returns to Free unless you have bought Pro.

7.2 Founding Pair — introductory price

1. The first 25 annual Pro subscriptions paid under the Founding Pair offer cost €29.99 for the first year. Each following year renews at the regular annual price (§7.1, currently €39.99).
2. The offer applies only to the annual plan bought through Stripe (not in the App Store) and ends when the 25 places are taken or on the date stated with the offer, whichever comes first. The number of remaining places is shown with the offer.
3. One subscription covers a Pair (§7.5), so the offer is 25 pairs.
4. A place is freed when we refund the whole first-year payment (§8); deleting the Account does not free it. A freed place may return to the offer while the offer is still running. The number of remaining places shows the current state.

7.3 Payment, renewal and cancellation

1. Payments are processed by Stripe (card and other methods shown in the payment form). We never receive or store your full card number.
2. A subscription is paid in advance for a monthly or annual period and renews automatically for another period of the same length until you cancel.
3. You can cancel at any time in the app (Settings → Plan) or by writing to billing@type-note.app. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period: you keep Pro until then and we do not charge you again. Until the end of the period you can undo the cancellation.
4. If you subscribe while your trial or Pro received through a referral is running, the first charge is taken on the day that free period ends — provided at least 49 hours of it are left (and no more than 2 years). Otherwise the first charge is taken at once when you buy: the paid period starts on the day of purchase and the rest of the free period is not added to it. If your trial and Pro received through a referral are running at the same time, only the end of the trial counts: the 49 hours are measured to it and the first charge is taken on that day; referral Pro days that fall after the trial ends do not move the charge and are not added to the paid period. For example, if 24 hours of your trial are left, the first charge is taken at once, even if your referral Pro runs for several more weeks. The first charge is also taken at once if you have Pro as a gift (§7.5), even if your own trial or referral Pro is running at the same time.
5. If a payment fails, Stripe retries for a while and the app asks you to update your card. If the retries fail, the subscription ends and §7.4 applies.
6. We confirm the contract and every payment by email to the Account address.

7.4 What you keep when Pro ends

When Pro ends — after cancellation, lapse, a failed payment or a full refund — nothing you created is deleted. In particular:

1. Unlimited shared notebooks stay forever if we have ever taken a payment from you for the annual plan. The right arises with the first annual payment (not during a trial, when nothing has been charged yet) and does not expire — including after cancellation and after a refund. The monthly plan does not give this right.
2. You can always open and download every file you have already uploaded, however much space it takes.
3. New uploads return to the Free limit (1 GB). When your files take more, the next upload is refused until you free space or return to Pro — but nothing already stored is deleted or restricted.
4. Note history and the trash are visible for the last 7 days again. Older versions and notes deleted earlier (up to 90 days) remain stored and are shown as locked; you can view and restore them when you return to Pro.

7.5 Pro for two

1. Who you can designate. While your Pro subscription or your own trial is active, you can designate one person — one of your contacts or someone you share a Notebook with. That person gets Pro at no cost for the duration of your subscription, or, if designated during your trial, for the duration of your trial (if you subscribe during it, the gift continues).
2. Changing the person is possible at most once every 30 days, counted from the last designation. Removing the person does not shorten that period.
3. When the gift ends. It ends when your subscription ends (when a cancellation takes effect, on lapse or after a full refund), when your Account is deleted, or — for a trial gift — when your trial ends without a purchase. You can also remove the person at any time. They are notified and their Account returns to Free; §7.4 applies to them as it does to you.
4. Leaving the gift. The designated person can leave the gift at any time on the plan screen.
5. One trial gift per Account. Each Account can receive a gift made during somebody's trial only once. A gift from a paid subscription has no such limit. A person can hold a gift from only one subscriber at a time.
6. No chains. Pro received as a gift, through a referral or granted by us does not let you designate anybody.

7.6 Purchases in the App Store

1. On iPhone and iPad you buy Pro in the App Store. Payment, renewal, cancellation and refunds are then handled by Apple under its own terms (Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions). You cancel in your device Settings (Apple ID → Subscriptions).
2. Refunds for App Store purchases are granted only by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com). We cannot refund money we did not receive directly. This does not affect your statutory rights against us regarding the conformity of the Service (§9).
3. The Founding Pair offer (§7.2) is not available in the App Store. The rest of §7 applies accordingly.

7.7 Referrals

1. In the app you can send another couple your referral link. A new Account that accepts an invitation from that link gets 30 days of Pro at no cost straight away. An Account counts as new if it was created after the invitation was sent or is no more than 7 days old.
2. You get 30 days of Pro once the referred person writes their first note. You can receive at most 365 days of Pro from referrals in a year, and at most 5 people a day can join through one Account.
3. If a referred Account is deleted within 14 days, we take back the Pro days you received for that referral.
4. Pro from a referral does not let you designate anybody (§7.5(6)). How it affects the date of the first charge when you buy Pro is described in §7.3(4).

8. Withdrawal and the refund guarantee

8.1 Right of withdrawal

1. As a consumer you may withdraw from a Pro contract concluded online within 14 days of its conclusion, without giving a reason.
2. In the payment form we ask you to expressly request that supply begins at once. The consent reads: "I ask for the service to start right away. I can withdraw from the contract within 14 days, and the refund covers the full amount (30-day guarantee)." We record it with the payment. Without it we cannot start Pro before the 14 days have passed.
3. The law would let us charge you for the time you used Pro before withdrawing (Art. 35 of the Polish Consumer Rights Act). We waive this: if you withdraw within 14 days, we refund the full amount.

8.2 30-day refund guarantee

Independently of the statutory right of withdrawal: if within 30 days of a payment you decide Pro is not for you, write to billing@type-note.app and we will refund that payment in full, no questions asked. This guarantee is voluntary, broader than the right in §8.1 and does not limit it. It does not apply to App Store purchases (§7.6).

8.3 How to withdraw or ask for a refund

1. Any unequivocal statement sent to billing@type-note.app or by post to the address in §1 is enough. You may use the model form in Annex 1, but you do not have to.
2. We confirm receipt by email. We send the refund without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receiving your statement, using the payment method you used, at no cost to you.
3. A full refund ends the subscription and Pro (including Pro of the designated person, §7.5). Your Content stays untouched and §7.4 applies as at any end of Pro.

9. Conformity of the Service and complaints

1. We are liable for the conformity of the Service with the contract under Chapter 5b of the Polish Consumer Rights Act for the whole time it is supplied.
2. You can file a complaint by email to hej@type-note.app or by post to the address in §1. Describe the problem and give your Account email — it helps, but it is not a condition.
3. We respond within 14 days of receipt, to the address the complaint came from. If we do not respond in that time, the complaint is deemed accepted.
4. If the Service does not conform to the contract, you may demand that it be brought into conformity and, where that is impossible, disproportionately costly or has failed, a price reduction or withdrawal from the contract, under the Consumer Rights Act.

10. Acceptable use

1. You must not supply unlawful content through the Service, including content infringing others' rights, inciting violence, child sexual abuse material, malware, or bulk messages sent without the recipients' consent.
2. You must also not: circumvent plan limits or security measures, access other people's Accounts or data, disrupt the Service (including by automated requests beyond normal use), or harass other users, including through invitations and messages.
3. You can block or report another person in the app. Reports are handled under §12.
4. For a serious or persistent violation we may remove content, restrict Account features or block the Account under §11 and §12.

11. Account deletion and termination

1. You can delete your Account at any time in the app Settings. Deleting the Account terminates the contract.
2. Deletion is immediate and irreversible. Export your data first (§6.4).
3. A subscription bought through Stripe ends when the Account is deleted, with no refund for the unused part of the period (a pro rata refund when these Terms change is described in §15(3)). If fewer than 30 days have passed since a payment, or you want to withdraw within the period in §8.1, it is simplest to ask for the refund (§8.3) before deleting the Account. You can also ask after deletion — give us the email address used for the payment. Deleting the Account does not cancel a subscription bought in the App Store. Cancel it first in your Apple ID settings (§7.6), otherwise Apple will keep charging you; refunds for such a purchase are granted by Apple.
4. The person you designated under Pro for two loses Pro when your Account is deleted (§7.5).
5. Shared notebooks pass to the other person. A shared notebook you own, with all its notes (including the ones you wrote), passes to the person you share it with, who is notified. Notebooks no one else was in are deleted with their notes and files. In other people's shared notebooks your earlier entries stay, as part of the shared content.
6. Other Account data is removed from production systems at once, with the exceptions described in the Privacy Policy (§7 and §8), such as payment records. Copies may persist in backups for up to about 37 days (database backups sent off the server are encrypted; file backups are protected by the backup provider's encryption), after which they are deleted. Backups are never used to restore an individual Account.
7. We may terminate the contract with 30 days' notice for an important reason: a serious or persistent breach of §10 despite a request to stop, a legal requirement, or discontinuation of the Service. If a breach endangers the security of the Service or of other people, or is a criminal offense, we may block the Account at once and give the statement of reasons (§12.4).
8. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will announce it at least 30 days in advance, keep the export working until the end, and refund the unused part of any paid period pro rata.

12. Illegal content — notices, decisions and appeals

1. Point of contact. For users and for authorities of EU Member States, the point of contact under Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act, "DSA") is hej@type-note.app. We correspond in Polish and English.
2. Notice. Anyone, including people without an Account, can report content they consider illegal by email to hej@type-note.app. In the app you can also report a person ("Report" on a contact); such a report identifies the Account, not specific content, so describe the content in an email. A notice about content should contain the reasons why the content is illegal, where the content is (e.g. the Notebook and note name, or a link), the name and email of the notifier (not required for notices about child sexual abuse) and a statement that it is made in good faith.
3. Handling. We confirm receipt and handle notices without undue delay, diligently and objectively. Decisions are taken by a person; we do not use automated content moderation.
4. Statement of reasons. If we remove content, restrict access to it or block an Account, we give the person concerned a statement of reasons: what we did, for how long, on what basis (a provision of law or of these Terms) and how to appeal. We inform the notifier of the decision.
5. Appeal. Within 6 months of a decision you can appeal by writing to hej@type-note.app. We review the decision again, taking your arguments into account, within 14 days; the decision on an appeal is taken by a person, not an automated system. You may also use out-of-court dispute settlement or the courts; an appeal is not a precondition.
6. Where content may indicate a criminal offense threatening the life or safety of persons, we promptly notify the competent authorities.

13. Liability

1. We try to keep the Service running without interruption, but maintenance and failures may temporarily limit it.
2. We are not responsible for content added by users or for what the people you share a Notebook with do with its content.
3. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability towards a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited, in particular for damage caused intentionally, for non-conformity of the Service (§9), or under mandatory law.

14. Personal data

The processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy. Consent to marketing messages is voluntary and separate from accepting these Terms. You can withdraw it in Settings or with the unsubscribe link in every such message.

15. Changes to these Terms

1. We may change these Terms for important reasons: changes in law or a court or authority decision affecting us; changes in the scope or features of the Service, including new ones; changes of prices and plans (subject to §7.1(4)); changes of providers the Service depends on; the need to improve security or prevent abuse; removing ambiguities or editorial errors.
2. We announce changes in the app and by email at least 30 days before they take effect; the version string changes. A change required solely by law or that only corrects wording may take effect earlier where the law requires.
3. If you do not accept a change, you can terminate the contract before it takes effect. If you have a subscription bought through Stripe, first write to billing@type-note.app: we refund the unused part of the paid period pro rata, and you then delete your Account (§11). Deleting the Account without that message ends the subscription with no refund (§11(3)). An App Store subscription is cancelled with Apple (§7.6). A banner in the app also tells you about the change; it does not block you from using the Service.
4. Pro contracts concluded before a change keep the previous price until the end of the paid period.

16. Governing law and disputes

1. The contract is governed by Polish law. This choice does not deprive a consumer of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country of their habitual residence.
2. Disputes are resolved by the court competent under general rules.
3. Consumers may use out-of-court complaint and redress procedures, e.g. the help of a municipal or district consumer ombudsman (rzecznik konsumentów) or mediation before the regional Trade Inspection (Inspekcja Handlowa). Information is available from the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (uokik.gov.pl). The Provider's participation is voluntary.
