Terms of Use

Purpose

Remanence is a personal reading journal designed to keep what a book leaves behind: first impressions, later traces, quotes, notes, and exportable reviews.

The website presents the app. It does not create user accounts, provide a web dashboard, or replace the mobile application.

Acceptable use

You agree to use Remanence lawfully, personally, and with respect for the service, stores, third-party services, and intellectual property rights.

You must not try to disrupt the website, bypass technical limits, extract the service abusively, or use Remanence to store or export illegal content.

Local data and backup

The app is local-first: your books, notes, quotes, settings, and timer sessions live on your device first.

Optional Google Drive backup is only a safety copy chosen by the user. It does not create a social network, public profile, or real-time sync through a Remanence backend.

Premium and purchases

Remanence Premium may unlock refinements such as Reflections, themes, advanced filters, export templates, timer sounds or styles, and automatic Google Drive backup.

Purchases, restorations, cancellations, and refunds are handled by the relevant stores and by RevenueCat when the paywall is used. Prices and terms shown at the time of purchase apply.

If Premium expires or is unavailable, Premium features may become locked, but your local books, notes, and data must not be deleted.

User content

You remain responsible for the notes, quotes, covers, reviews, and exports you add or share from Remanence.

When you copy or publish a review, quote, or cover elsewhere, you must respect the rights that apply to the relevant books, images, and texts.

Third-party services

Some features may rely on third-party services: BnF, Google Books, and Open Library for ISBN lookup; Google Drive for voluntary backup; Google Play and RevenueCat for Premium.

These services have their own rules, availability, and policies. External unavailability should not block the essential local use of Remanence.

Availability and changes

Remanence is provided with care, but without a guarantee of permanent availability, error-free operation, or compatibility with every device.

Features, copy, and these terms may change. Important changes will be reflected on this page or in the project materials.
