Payments are processed through third-party payment processors. By subscribing to Premium Features, you agree to the terms and conditions of those payment processors.
Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled before the renewal date.
You may cancel your subscription at any time. Upon cancellation, you will continue to have access to Premium Features until the end of your current billing period.
Refund policies are described on our website. While we generally aim to resolve issues without refunds, we evaluate refund requests on a case-by-case basis. Refunds may be granted at our discretion for legitimate concerns with the service.
You may terminate your use of Hend at any time by uninstalling the application and, if applicable, canceling your subscription.
For paid subscription services, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your subscription if you breach these Terms. When reasonably possible, we will provide notice before suspension or termination. Due to the local-first nature of Hend, termination of subscription services will not prevent you from accessing your locally stored data or using the application's free features.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. The following sections will survive termination: Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, Disclaimer, and Governing Law.
Your primary data resides locally on your device. The app functions fully offline, applying edits to local state instantly.
Account Registration: Synchronization across devices occurs only if you register and enable sync. Unregistered users’ data remains entirely local.
Cloud Infrastructure: Registered data is stored and synced via our managed cloud service.
Real-Time Sync & Collaboration: All your devices stay in real-time sync, with updates propagating instantly.
End-to-End Encryption: Data is encrypted and signed on-device; our servers never see plaintext.
We implement reasonable measures to maintain data integrity during sync but cannot guarantee against every failure. You alone are responsible for backing up critical data. We disclaim liability for any loss of local or synced data.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
In no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Monobryn and its licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of significant changes through the Service or by other means. Your continued use of the Service after such modifications constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of the modified Terms.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Denmark, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at [email protected].
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service and supersede any prior agreements we might have had between us regarding the Service.
Thank you for using Hend!
