EleDiary - Journal & Notebook Terms of Service

Effective 2026-09-04 · Version 1.0 · Last updated 2026-09-04

These Terms are an agreement between you and Hefei Xiguoke Technology Co., Ltd. ("we", "us") regarding your use of EleDiary - Journal & Notebook (the "App"). By downloading, installing or otherwise using the App you confirm that you have read and accepted every clause below. If you do not agree, stop using the App and uninstall it.

1. Acceptance and Changes

1. These Terms apply to every version of the App on iPhone.
2. We may revise these Terms as laws change or the product evolves. Updates are published on this page with an updated effective date; material changes to your rights or obligations are also announced inside the App.
3. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not, please stop using the App and back up or delete your data yourself.

2. The Service

1. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to install and use the App on devices you own.
2. Features are defined by the build actually shipped. We may adjust, refine or retire parts of the App, and will try to minimise any impact on data you have already stored.
3. Some features require a network connection (cloud sync, content updates). Data charges are billed by your carrier.

3. Accounts and Data

1. No account is required for the core features. If you enable optional cloud sync, that sync is governed by the relevant platform's terms (for example Apple iCloud).
2. Data you create in the App belongs to you. We process it only where technically necessary to deliver sync, backup and similar features, and claim no rights over it.
3. Back up anything you care about. We are not responsible for data loss caused by device failure, OS upgrades, jailbreaking or rooting, user error or events beyond our control.

4. Payments and Subscriptions

1. The App may offer both free and paid features. Payment models include one-time unlocks and auto-renewing subscriptions, as shown on the store listing.
2. All transactions are processed by the app store. Pricing, billing, invoicing and refunds are handled by the store. We cannot charge you directly, and we cannot issue refunds outside the store's process.
3. Auto-renewing subscriptions:
   • The fee is charged to your store account before each billing period begins;
   • To cancel, turn off auto-renew in the store's subscription settings at least 24 hours before the period ends;
   • After cancelling you keep access until the paid period expires, and no further charge is made.
4. One-time unlocks are normally tied to your store account. After switching devices, use "Restore Purchases" to regain access at no extra cost.
5. For refund disputes, contact the store's support first. If an entitlement looks wrong, reach us via section 7 and we will help verify it.

5. Acceptable Use

When using the App you agree not to:

1. Break applicable laws, harm network security, or infringe the lawful rights of others;
2. Use the App to create, copy, publish or distribute unlawful or harmful content;
3. Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, or otherwise extract its source code;
4. Remove, obscure or alter copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices in the App;
5. Resell, rent or redistribute the App or any part of it commercially without permission;
6. Exploit bugs, cheats or automated scripts to disrupt the service;
7. Impersonate someone else, or help anyone else do the above.

You bear legal responsibility for damage caused by breaching these rules, and must compensate us for any loss we suffer as a result.

6. Intellectual Property

1. All intellectual property in the App — source code, interface design, icons, copy, trademarks and logos, including but not limited to "希果壳" and "EleDiary - Journal & Notebook" — belongs to us and is protected by law and international treaties.
2. You receive a licence to use the App only; use does not transfer any of those rights to you.
3. Content you create in the App remains yours (or the original rightsholder's). You grant us the minimum licence needed to provide App features such as sync, backup and export.
4. The App may include open-source components, governed by their respective licences.

7. Disclaimers

1. The App is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law we give no express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
2. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that every defect will be fixed.
3. Health-related notice. Records, statistics and charts in the App are for personal day-to-day tracking and reference only. They are not medical diagnosis, treatment advice or a prescription, and they cannot replace the opinion of a licensed physician. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about medication, diet or treatment, and seek medical attention when you feel unwell. We accept no liability for medical decisions made in reliance on the App.
4. We are not liable for service interruptions or data loss caused by device failure, network outages, system limits, third-party service failures or events beyond our control.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for the App in the twelve months preceding the event; if you paid nothing, it shall not exceed CNY 100.

We are not liable for losses attributable to you, including breach of these Terms, jailbreaking or rooting your device, or using builds obtained outside official channels. This limitation does not apply to personal injury caused by our intent or gross negligence.

9. Changes, Suspension and Termination

1. We may change, suspend or end parts of the service due to technical upgrades, legal requirements, terminated partnerships or business adjustments, and will give reasonable advance notice.
2. If you materially breach these Terms we may terminate your licence after notice; in urgent cases we may suspend first.
3. Once the service ends, please export your data yourself. We have no obligation to retain data in versions that have been retired.
4. Termination does not affect rights and obligations already accrued, nor clauses on confidentiality, intellectual property and limitation of liability that by nature survive.

10. Governing Law and Disputes

1. The formation, performance and interpretation of these Terms, and any dispute arising from them, are governed by the laws of the mainland People's Republic of China (excluding conflict-of-law rules).
2. Disputes should first be resolved through friendly negotiation. Failing that, either party may bring an action before the competent people's court at our place of business.
3. If any clause is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder stays in force and the parties shall substitute a valid clause closest to the original intent.

11. Minors

If you are under 18, please read these Terms with a parent or guardian before deciding to use the App. Guardians should guide minors in proper use and bear the corresponding duty of supervision.
