Terms of Service

Last updated: 30 October 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Accelerate Notebook website at https://acceleratesoftwares.com and the Accelerate Notebook software for Windows and Android, including the free edition and Premium (together, the "Software"). The Software is provided by Accelerate Softwares ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading, installing, purchasing or using the Software you agree to these Terms.

1. Who sells to you

Our order process is conducted by our payment provider, which is the Merchant of Record for all our orders and handles payment questions and returns. When you buy Premium, you buy it from our payment provider, and its buyer terms, shown at checkout, also apply to your purchase. It calculates and collects any applicable VAT, GST or sales tax.

2. Free edition

The free edition is available at no cost as an APK download (Android) and as a direct download (Windows), and is coming to Google Play. It includes text notes, checklists, simple drawing, notebooks, trash, stored files, device-to-device sync, backup and restore, and themes. We may change the features of the free edition over time.

3. Premium plans and licence

  • Monthly ($7 USD per month; $5 USD during offers we announce on the website) and Yearly ($70 USD per year; $50 USD during offers we announce on the website) are subscriptions that renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. A subscription started at an offer price (the special price or a sale price) renews at that same price for as long as it stays active, including after the offer has ended on the website. The offer price is lost if the subscription is cancelled and its paid period runs out, or if a renewal payment is still unpaid 30 days after it was due; any new subscription after that is charged the price shown on the website at that time. Bulk orders are Yearly or Lifetime (Monthly is sold one licence at a time); a bulk Yearly order is charged the regular price less the volume discount shown on the website. Where a discount applies, including a student or teacher code, the order total is rounded down to the whole US dollar.
  • Lifetime (regular price $225 USD, one-time; $120 USD during offers we announce on the website; $150 USD per seat for bulk orders) grants a perpetual licence to the Premium app and includes cloud sync. The Premium app, all its features and all your notes work on your devices independently of the hosted cloud sync service, as do local, network and USB sync.
  • Prices are shown in USD and exclude taxes, which are added at checkout where applicable.

Subject to these Terms and payment of the applicable fees, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Premium on up to 2 devices at a time, in any combination of Windows and Android devices you own or control. You may move a licence to a new device yourself once every 180 days; we can free a device sooner on request. Each licence is for one person. You may not share, resell, sublicense or publish your licence key. On a bulk order of 10 or more seats, the buyer may move each seat to a different person once every 180 days.

4. Licence activation and check-ins

Premium is activated with a licence key sent to the email address used at checkout. To confirm that a licence is valid and within its device limit, the Software periodically contacts our licence server. It sends the licence key, an anonymous device identifier and the other details listed in our Privacy Policy. If a check-in cannot be completed for an extended period (37 days for a subscription, 90 days for a lifetime licence), Premium pauses until the device reconnects once. Checks happen silently whenever the device is online.

5. Cancellation and end of subscription

You can cancel a subscription at any time using the link in your payment receipt email or by contacting us. Cancellation stops future renewals; your Premium access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for. When a subscription ends, Premium becomes read-only for 15 days: you can still open, read and export your notes, while editing and cloud sync require an active plan. After those 15 days the app is locked until the subscription is renewed. We never delete your notes: they stay on your own device, and renewing gives you access to them again exactly as you left them.

6. Refunds

Refunds are handled under our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

7. Your content

You own everything you create in the Software. Notes are stored locally on your devices. If you use cloud sync, our server passes your data, encrypted, to your other device and does not keep a copy. You are responsible for keeping your password and backups safe: because your notes are locked with your password, we cannot recover them if the password is lost.

8. Cloud sync

Premium includes cloud sync. Cloud sync passes your data from one of your licensed devices to the other while both are connected; it does not store a copy, so it is not a backup service. No kind of file is slowed. When the service is busy, syncs wait their turn in a queue rather than being refused. Cloud sync is subject to fair use: the first 15 GB a licence sends in each 30-day period, its two devices counted together, transfer at the full speed of your connection. Periods run back to back from the licence’s first activation, and each new period starts with a fresh 15 GB. Beyond the 15 GB, cloud sync transfers under our current fair usage policy until the next period begins (at present a slower, steady rate of about 1 GB per hour), so that one large library cannot crowd everyone else off the service. We may change this policy; the current one is always described on our website. Where a licence misuses the sync service, we may set a lower speed for it, for a time or permanently; we may also set a higher one. You choose in the app whether photos, audio and video are included in a cloud sync at all, and a notebook of any size can also be transferred over your own network, by USB or by file at full speed. The Cloud API of the Premium app uses the same service: what passes through it counts toward the same 15 GB in each period, and the same fair usage policy applies. We aim to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to: use the Software or sync service to store or distribute unlawful content; attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorised access to our servers; or use automated means to abuse the licence or sync services.

10. Intellectual property and prohibited conduct

The Software is licensed to you, not sold. Accelerate Softwares and its licensors own all rights, title and interest in the Software, including its source code, object code, design, structure and all related intellectual property, which are protected by copyright and other laws.

You must not, and must not permit or assist any other person to: reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive, view, extract or reconstruct the source code, algorithms or internal structure of the Software; modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works from it; copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, rent, sub-licence or otherwise make the Software available to any third party; remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark, licensing or security notice or mechanism; or circumvent, disable or tamper with any activation, licensing, encryption or anti-piracy protection. These restrictions apply to the fullest extent permitted by law, and only the narrow acts that applicable mandatory law expressly permits notwithstanding a contractual prohibition are excepted.

Any such act is a serious breach of this Agreement and an infringement of our intellectual-property rights. Your licence terminates automatically and immediately upon any such attempt, without notice. We actively monitor for tampering and unauthorised use, and we reserve the right to suspend or revoke the licence on any device involved. We will pursue all available civil and criminal remedies, including injunctive relief, damages and an account of profits, and we will seek to recover our legal costs and expenses, against anyone who engages in the conduct described above, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. AI features and third-party services

Some optional Premium features, such as AI chat, send the text you choose to submit to a third-party service to generate a response. These features are only used when you invoke them. Responses may be inaccurate and should not be relied on as professional advice.

Hyper Canvas in Premium includes smart tools, such as Remove Background, Smart Erase and Make Bigger, which use AI that runs on your own device. To comply with the law, AI tools may be changed or removed at any time, without notice.

12. Updates

We may release updates that add, change or remove features, fix bugs or improve security. Some updates may be required to keep using licence or sync services.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Accelerate Softwares is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of the Software. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for Premium in the 12 months before the claim.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate a licence that is used in breach of these Terms, for example if a licence key is shared publicly or resold. You may stop using the Software at any time.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date shows the latest version. Material changes will be announced on this website. Continuing to use the Software after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

17. Your rights where you live

Nothing in these Terms takes away the rights that the consumer laws of your country of residence give you.
