Effective Date: May 15, 2026
Last Updated: May 15, 2026

Introduction

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and The OWL Company ("we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of ClipGarage — a macOS clipboard manager application ("the App").

Please read these Terms carefully before downloading, installing, or using ClipGarage. By proceeding, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App.

1. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms:

  • "App" means ClipGarage, the macOS desktop application developed and distributed by The OWL Company, including all updates, upgrades, and associated documentation.

  • "Cloud Sync" means the optional feature that allows encrypted clipboard data to be synchronized across devices via Supabase.

  • "Clipboard Data" means any text, images, URLs, files, or other content captured from your macOS clipboard by the App.

  • "User Content" means any content you create, submit, or transmit through the App, including feedback, tags, board names, and custom titles.

  • "Recovery Key" means the cryptographic key generated upon Cloud Sync setup, used to re-derive the Data Encryption Key on a new device.

  • "Subscription" means any paid plan, if and when such plans are offered.

2. Eligibility

To use ClipGarage, you must:

  • Be at least 13 years of age (or 16 years of age if you reside in the EU/EEA)

  • Be a natural person with the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts, or be acting on behalf of an entity with proper authorization

  • Not be prohibited from receiving or using the App under applicable law

  • Have access to a compatible macOS device running macOS 13 Ventura or later

By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet all of the above requirements. If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. License Grant

3.1 Personal License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, The OWL Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to:

  • Download, install, and use the App on macOS devices that you own or control

  • Use the App for personal or internal business purposes

This license is for your personal use. You may install the App on multiple Macs that you personally own or control.

3.2 Restrictions

You may not:

  • Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App or any portion thereof

  • Reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law

  • Sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, rent, lease, lend, or otherwise distribute the App to any third party

  • Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, trademarks, or copyright notices in or on the App

  • Use the App to build a competing product or service

  • Use the App in any way that violates applicable law or these Terms

  • Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security features, encryption mechanisms, or access controls in the App

3.3 Distribution

ClipGarage is distributed exclusively as a signed, notarized macOS application (DMG) through our official channels (GitHub Releases and our website). It is not available on the Mac App Store. Downloading the App from unofficial sources is at your own risk.

3.4 Open Source Components

The App may incorporate open-source components subject to their own licenses (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0). Such components are used in compliance with their respective licenses. Your use of open-source components bundled within the App is additionally governed by the applicable open-source license terms.

4. Clipboard Data and User Responsibility

4.1 Your Data Is Yours

ClipGarage captures and stores your clipboard history. You retain full ownership of your Clipboard Data. The OWL Company claims no rights, title, or interest in any Clipboard Data.

4.2 You Are Solely Responsible

You are solely responsible for:

  • All Clipboard Data captured, stored, and managed through the App

  • Ensuring that your use of the App does not violate the rights of any third party, including intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or contractual obligations

  • Ensuring that any sensitive, confidential, or regulated data captured by the App (such as personal data of others, trade secrets, financial information, protected health information, or attorney-client privileged materials) is handled in accordance with applicable law

  • Securing your device, macOS user account, and App PIN to prevent unauthorized access to your Clipboard Data

4.3 No Monitoring by Us

The OWL Company does not access, monitor, review, or analyze your Clipboard Data at any time. See the Privacy Policy for details on our zero-knowledge architecture.

4.4 Sensitive Information

ClipGarage automatically detects and flags certain categories of sensitive content (e.g., API keys, passwords, credit card numbers). You are responsible for understanding and appropriately securing any sensitive information within your clipboard history. We recommend enabling PIN protection and reviewing the app's security settings.

5. Cloud Sync Terms

5.1 Optional Feature

Cloud Sync is an optional feature. Using it requires creating an account via Google OAuth.

5.2 End-to-End Encryption

All Clipboard Data transmitted via Cloud Sync is encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM before upload. The OWL Company does not hold decryption keys and cannot access your synced data. See the Privacy Policy for full technical details.

5.3 Recovery Key Responsibility

Upon enabling Cloud Sync, you will be provided with a Recovery Key. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Recovery Key is generated once and displayed to you at setup. You must save it in a secure location immediately. We do not store it in recoverable form.

  • If you lose your Recovery Key and lose access to your device's Keychain, your synced Clipboard Data cannot be recovered — by you or by us. The encryption is designed to make this technically impossible.

  • You can reset Cloud Sync via Settings → Reset Cloud Sync, which permanently deletes all encrypted data from our servers and generates a new Recovery Key. This does not affect your local clipboard history.

  • You are solely responsible for the security and safekeeping of your Recovery Key.

5.4 Service Availability

Cloud Sync depends on third-party infrastructure (Supabase) and network connectivity. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of Cloud Sync and are not liable for sync failures, delays, or data loss resulting from third-party service outages, network conditions, or other factors outside our control.

5.5 Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Cloud Sync account if we have reason to believe you have violated these Terms, with or without prior notice. Upon termination, your encrypted data may be deleted from our servers.

6. User Content

By submitting feedback, tags, board names, custom titles, or other User Content through the App, you grant The OWL Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, display, and process such User Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the App.

You represent and warrant that:

  • You own or have the necessary rights to submit the User Content

  • The User Content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights

  • The User Content does not contain unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable material

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use ClipGarage only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others. Specifically, you agree not to use the App to:

  • Capture, store, or transmit data in violation of applicable privacy laws (e.g., capturing personal data of others without a legal basis under GDPR)

  • Infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property rights of any party

  • Violate the privacy or personal rights of any individual

  • Distribute malware, spyware, or other harmful software via clipboard content

  • Circumvent digital rights management (DRM) systems or other copy protection mechanisms

  • Engage in any activity that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our servers or infrastructure

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of our systems, infrastructure, or other users' accounts

  • Use the App for any illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive purpose

  • Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation

8. System Permissions

By granting ClipGarage Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions, you authorize the App to use those permissions solely for:

  • Accessibility: Injecting paste keyboard events to the previously focused application during Quick Search

  • Input Monitoring: Detecting the configured global hotkey

You may revoke these permissions at any time through macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security. Revoking permissions will disable the affected features but will not affect your clipboard history or other App functionality.

9. Fees and Payment

ClipGarage is currently available free of charge. If we introduce paid plans or features in the future, we will update these Terms and provide advance notice. Any applicable fees, billing terms, refund policies, and cancellation procedures will be described at the point of purchase.

We reserve the right to change pricing at any time, with reasonable advance notice to existing subscribers. Your continued use of a paid feature after a price change constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.

10. Intellectual Property

10.1 Our Intellectual Property

The App, including its name "ClipGarage", logo, user interface design, source code, graphics, and all associated assets, is the intellectual property of The OWL Company and/or Mushfiqur Rahman Chowdhury, protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership interest in our intellectual property to you. Your license under Section 3 is limited to the rights expressly granted.

10.2 Your Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to your own Clipboard Data and User Content. The OWL Company does not claim any ownership over content you copy, store, tag, or organize using the App.

10.3 Feedback

If you provide suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback about the App ("Feedback"), you grant The OWL Company a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, incorporate, and commercialize such Feedback without any obligation or compensation to you.

11. Third-Party Services and Links

The App integrates with or links to third-party services, including Supabase (cloud database), Google (authentication), and Google Analytics. Your use of third-party services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices, content, or reliability of any third-party services.

The App may allow you to share clipboard content to third-party applications (e.g., WhatsApp, Slack, email). Your interactions with those applications are governed solely by their terms of service.

12. Privacy

Our collection and use of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using ClipGarage, you consent to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

13. Updates and Modifications to the App

We may release updates, bug fixes, new features, or new versions of ClipGarage at any time. Updates may be delivered through GitHub Releases or in-app notifications. We encourage you to keep the App updated.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any feature at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days' advance notice for material changes such as the discontinuation of Cloud Sync. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

THE OWL COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement

  • Any warranty that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, virus-free, or free of harmful components

  • Any warranty regarding the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or usefulness of the App

  • Any warranty that your Clipboard Data will be preserved, backed up, or recoverable

  • Any warranty regarding the reliability, availability, or security of Cloud Sync

  • Any warranty of compatibility with future versions of macOS beyond the stated minimum (macOS 13 Ventura)

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. In such jurisdictions, the above exclusions may not apply to you in full, and you may have additional legal rights.

21.3 Class Action Waiver

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If this waiver is found unenforceable with respect to a particular claim, that claim will be severed and may proceed separately.

21.4 Time Limitation

Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose, or it is permanently barred. Some jurisdictions do not allow such limitations, in which case this provision may not apply to you.

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

25. Waiver

No waiver by The OWL Company of any right or provision under these Terms shall be effective unless in writing. No failure or delay by The OWL Company in exercising any right shall constitute a waiver of that right. A waiver of any breach shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

26. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices or agreements published by The OWL Company in connection with the App, constitute the entire agreement between you and The OWL Company regarding the App and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral.
