Terms of Use

Last updated: June 11, 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Demiao Chen, a sole trader trading as “Clipory” (“Clipory”, “we”, “us”). They govern your use of the clipory.app website (the “Site”) and the Clipory application for macOS, including all updates, license keys, and related documentation (together, the “App”).

By using the Site, or by downloading, installing, or using the App, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree to them, do not use the Site or the App.

1. License grant

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to install and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, for your own personal or internal business use.

The App is licensed, not sold. You receive only the right to use the App under these Terms; we retain all other rights. A paid tier (“Pro”) extends this license to the paid features for as long as the corresponding license key remains valid and these Terms are complied with — it does not change the nature of the license.

2. License keys and accounts

Paid features are activated with a license key issued to the purchaser. A license key is personal to you (or, for a business purchase, to the named business): you may not share, publish, resell, rent, lend, or transfer it without our prior written consent. We may invalidate keys that are leaked, shared, resold, obtained fraudulently (including through payment reversal), or generated by circumventing the App’s licensing.

3. Restrictions

You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• copy (except for reasonable backup), distribute, sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, or otherwise make the App available to third parties;
• modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, or circumvent or attempt to circumvent license enforcement, feature gating, or trial or free-tier limits;
• use the App or the Site in violation of applicable law or to infringe anyone’s rights;
• use the Site or the App to build a competing product, or scrape, crawl, or harvest the Site other than through standard search engine indexing.

4. Intellectual property

The App, the Site, and everything in them — including software, design, text, graphics, logos, and icons — are owned by Demiao Chen and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. “Clipory”, the Clipory logo, and the Clipory mark are trademarks of Demiao Chen. No right or license to any trademark is granted by these Terms, and nothing in them transfers any ownership to you.

5. Your content

The App stores your clipboard history locally on your device. Your clipboard content remains yours — we claim no rights to it, and the App does not transmit it to us. You are solely responsible for the content you copy and store, for complying with any law applicable to that content, and for maintaining your own backups. Deleting the App or its history is permanent; we have no copy and cannot recover it.

6. Purchases, payments, and refunds

Purchases are processed by our third-party merchant of record, whose own terms and privacy policy apply to the transaction. Prices may change at any time; changes do not affect purchases already completed. Except where required by law or by the merchant of record’s refund policy, purchases are final. Initiating a fraudulent chargeback or payment reversal while continuing to use paid features is a material breach of these Terms.

7. Updates and changes to the App

We may release updates, fixes, or new versions of the App at our discretion, and may add, change, or remove features (including features of paid tiers) at any time. We may also discontinue the App, the Site, or any part of them. Where reasonably practicable we will give notice of discontinuation, but we are not obliged to maintain, support, or update the App.

8. Termination and revocation

Your right to stop: you may stop using the App at any time by deleting it.

Our right to revoke: we may suspend or terminate your license — including invalidating license keys — immediately and without prior notice if you breach these Terms, if your use of the App is unlawful or harms us or others, if a payment for the App is reversed or found fraudulent, or where we are required to do so by law. We may also terminate these Terms for any other reason with reasonable prior notice.

Effect of termination: on termination, your license ends and you must stop using the App and destroy all copies in your possession. Termination for breach does not entitle you to any refund. Sections 3–6 and 9–14 survive termination.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND THE APP ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA (INCLUDING CLIPBOARD HISTORY) WILL NOT BE LOST.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DEMIAO CHEN WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR THE APP. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR TEN US DOLLARS (US$10) IF YOU PAID NOTHING.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including any non-excludable statutory consumer guarantees; in such cases our liability is limited to the minimum extent the law allows (for example, re-supplying the App or refunding its price).

11. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold Demiao Chen harmless from any claims, damages, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your content, or your unlawful use of the Site or the App.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available on this page, with its “Last updated” date. Material changes will be signalled by updating that date and, where practicable, by a notice on the Site or in the App. Your continued use of the Site or the App after a revision takes effect means you accept the revised Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms, the Site, or the App — except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, and nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-law provisions of your country of residence.

14. General

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and the App. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them (for example, to a company we form or to a purchaser of the product). These Terms are written in English; the English version controls over any translation.
