The terms, in plain words.

The short version

• These terms are an agreement between you and The Traveling Twins Co., Ltd., the company that makes dofu.
• dofu is a one-time purchase. Every update after it is free, with no account and no subscription.
• From this site, Paddle sells dofu as our reseller and merchant of record. Paddle takes the payment and handles the tax.
• You can get a full refund within 14 days of buying. The Refund Policy has the details.
• What you put in dofu is yours. We have no copy of it, so we cannot recover it for you.

What these terms cover

These terms cover the dofu app and getdofu.app. “We” and “us” mean The Traveling Twins Co., Ltd. By downloading, installing or using dofu, or by buying a license, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use dofu.

The Privacy Policy explains what dofu keeps on your Mac and what reaches us.

Your license

We own dofu, including the app, its name and its logo. What you get is a license to use it, which works like this:

• A license is for one person, who can use dofu on every Mac they use. There is no limit on the number of Macs and nothing to activate.
• You can use dofu for personal work and for your job.
• If several people will use dofu, each of them needs a license.
• A license doesn’t expire and doesn’t renew. It only ends as described under “Ending your license” below.

The version from this site is licensed with a license key, checked on your Mac without the network. It carries the email address you bought with. If you lose it, write to us and we’ll send it again.

Trial and beta

The version from this site has a 14-day trial, with no card and no account. After it ends you can still open, search, copy and export everything; adding and editing need a license.

The beta is free. It is unfinished, so expect bugs and keep automatic backups on. Once 1.0 ships, dofu needs a license after the trial. If we take up your report during the beta, we’ll send you a free license for the version from this site when the full release ships.

Buying dofu

From this site, Paddle is the reseller and merchant of record for your order. That means you buy dofu from Paddle, which takes the payment, handles the sales tax or VAT, and issues your receipt. Paddle’s buyer terms, shown at checkout, apply to the purchase alongside these terms. Prices on this site are in US dollars; the price, currency and tax shown at checkout are the ones that apply. After payment we email your license key, and the license itself is between you and us.

From the Mac App Store, Apple sells dofu and Apple’s terms apply. Where they differ from these terms, Apple’s apply to the App Store version. If you bought on the App Store and want a license key for the version from this site, email us your receipt and we’ll send one. The other way around isn’t possible.

Refunds

Everything bought from this site can be refunded in full within 14 days of purchase, with no reason needed. See the Refund Policy for how to ask. App Store purchases are refunded through Apple.

Updates and support

Every update is free, and a license you bought works with every later version. We plan to keep improving dofu, but we can’t promise that any feature will stay, or that dofu will support every future version of macOS.

Support is by email at support@getdofu.app.

What you can’t do

• Share or publish your license key, or sell or transfer your license.
• Bypass trial restrictions or license checks, or use a disabled license key.
• Reverse engineer or decompile dofu, except where the law gives you that right regardless of these terms.
• Use dofu to break the law or to infringe anyone’s rights.

dofu includes open-source components, which stay under their own licenses.

Your data

Everything you put in dofu is yours, and using dofu gives us no rights to it. We have no copy, no account of yours and no way into your drawer. That has consequences you should know about:

• We cannot recover your data, your backup password, or anything encrypted with it. Keep that password somewhere safe.
• You are responsible for keeping backups. Sync is not a backup: delete a card on one Mac and it’s gone from all of them.
• If you turn on sync or backups to a service such as iCloud Drive, Google Drive or Dropbox, that service’s own terms apply to it.

Warranty and liability

dofu is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no promise that it will run without interruption or errors, or that it will suit a particular purpose, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost data or lost profits.

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for anything arising from dofu or these terms is limited to what you paid for dofu.

None of this excludes or limits liability or consumer rights that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit, including liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

Ending your license

You can stop using dofu at any time. If you have a refund or a chargeback, or if you seriously break these terms, we can disable your license key. This takes effect with the next update of dofu, which from then on works as it does without a license: once the trial is over, you can still open, search, copy and export everything. Disabling a license key does not delete anything in dofu.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the new version goes on this page with a new date. A change won’t take back a license you already bought.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Taiwan, without limiting any mandatory consumer protection that applies to you where you live. If something goes wrong, please write to us first so we can try to resolve it. Courts are determined by applicable law, and these terms do not take away your right to use any court that law makes available to you as a consumer.

If part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies. The Traditional Chinese version of these terms prevails; other languages are provided for convenience. This does not affect any right you have under mandatory law to receive key contract information in your own language.
