1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Palindev ("we", "us", "our"), the individual operator of NoteCORE, governing your access to and use of the NoteCORE web application and any related services (collectively, the "Service") available at https://notecore.app.

By accessing or using the Service in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a third party, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind that party to these Terms.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms, the following definitions apply:

  • "Service" means the NoteCORE web application, its features, content, and all related services.

  • "User", "you", or "your" refers to any individual who accesses, browses, or uses the Service.

  • "Account" means the user account created upon authenticating via Google OAuth.

  • "Content" means all notes, text, data, and other information that you create, upload, or store through the Service.

  • "Basic Plan" means the free tier of the Service permitting storage of up to three (3) notes.

  • "Pro Plan" means the paid tier of the Service granting unlimited note storage, available via a one-time payment.

  • "Palindev" refers to the individual operator doing business under the Palindev brand, developing and operating NoteCORE.

3. Eligibility

The Service is available exclusively to individuals who are at least 13 years of age. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If we learn that a user under 13 has registered an account, we will promptly terminate that account and delete all associated data without notice.

By using the Service, you further represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country subject to a government embargo; (b) you are not listed on any government prohibited-party list; and (c) your use of the Service complies with all laws and regulations applicable to you.

4. Account Registration
4.1Google OAuth Authentication. NoteCORE uses Google OAuth 2.0 as its exclusive authentication method. To create an account, you must sign in with a valid Google account. By doing so, you authorize NoteCORE to access your Google profile information — specifically your name, email address, and profile picture — solely for account identification purposes.
4.2Account Security. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must immediately notify us at contact@palindev.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account.
4.3One Account Per User. Each individual may maintain only one active account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits or any other restriction is prohibited and may result in immediate termination of all associated accounts.
4.4Account Accuracy. Your account information is derived directly from your Google profile at the time of authentication. You are responsible for keeping your Google account information accurate. We have no obligation to verify the accuracy of information obtained via Google OAuth.

We reserve the right to modify, enhance, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant changes that may affect your use of the Service, but are under no obligation to do so for minor updates or improvements.

The Service requires an internet connection and a modern web browser. We do not guarantee availability of the Service at all times and may perform maintenance that renders the Service temporarily unavailable.

6. Subscription Plans & Payments
6.1Pro Plan Purchase. The Pro Plan is available for a one-time payment of INR 199 (₹199) as displayed at checkout. Upon successful payment, Pro Plan access is activated immediately and permanently linked to your account.
6.2Payment Processor. Payments are processed securely by Razorpay, a licensed third-party payment processor. NoteCORE does not store, process, or have access to your payment card details. Your payment information is governed by Razorpay's terms of service and privacy policy.
6.3Authorization. By completing a purchase, you authorize us to charge the applicable amount to your selected payment method through the Razorpay payment interface. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method provided.

6.5Taxes & Fees. Prices displayed are exclusive of any applicable taxes, duties, or fees, which may be added at checkout depending on your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for all applicable taxes associated with your purchase.
6.6Currency. The listed price is in Indian Rupees (INR). Payments are processed through Razorpay. Your financial institution may apply its own exchange rate or transaction fees if you are paying from outside India.
7. No Refund Policy

ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.

Given the nature of NoteCORE as a digital software service, all Pro Plan purchases are final. We do not offer refunds, exchanges, cancellations, or credits for any reason, except as expressly required by mandatory consumer protection law applicable in your jurisdiction.

By completing a purchase, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You have reviewed the Service and the plan features before purchasing.

  • You understand that the Pro Plan is a one-time digital purchase and not a subscription.

  • You waive any right of withdrawal or cancellation to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If you experience a technical issue that prevents access to Pro features immediately after a confirmed payment, contact us at contact@palindev.com within 48 hours of the transaction. We will investigate and work to resolve verified technical failures on a case-by-case basis. This is not a guarantee of a refund; it is a commitment to resolve service delivery failures.

8. User Content
8.1Ownership. You retain full ownership of all Content you create through the Service. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights in your Content to us.

By using the Service, you grant Palindev a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, cache, and transmit your Content exclusively for the purpose of operating and providing the Service to you. This license terminates when you delete your Content or close your account.
8.3No Review of Content. We do not routinely review, monitor, or verify your Content. You are solely responsible for all Content you create or store through the Service and for ensuring that such Content complies with these Terms and all applicable laws.
8.4Content Limits. Basic Plan users may store a maximum of three (3) notes. Pro Plan users have no limit on the number of notes. We reserve the right to establish reasonable limits on storage size per note.
8.5Data Loss. While we implement reasonable measures to protect your Content, we are not responsible for any loss, corruption, or deletion of your Content. We strongly recommend maintaining independent backups of any important notes.
