Terms of Use

Last updated: July 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.

The App is distributed in two editions: a direct-download edition available from the Site, and a Mac App Store edition distributed through Apple’s Mac App Store. Both are “the App” under these Terms; where a provision applies to only one edition, it says so.

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 In-App Purchases

In the direct-download edition, 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.

The Mac App Store edition does not use license keys: its paid features are unlocked with a one-time In-App Purchase processed by Apple and tied to your Apple Account. Purchases are edition-specific — a license key does not unlock the Mac App Store edition, and an In-App Purchase does not unlock the direct-download edition.

3. Restrictions

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

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 of the direct-download edition 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.

Purchases made in the Mac App Store edition are processed by Apple as In-App Purchases; billing, receipts, and refunds for those purchases are handled by Apple under Apple’s own terms, not by us or our merchant of record.

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, 9–14, and 15 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.

15. Mac App Store edition

If you obtained the App from Apple’s Mac App Store, the following also applies. These Terms are between you and us only — not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”) — and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App, and no warranty obligation other than, at most, refunding the purchase price of the App to you. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App — including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer-protection claims, and claims that the App infringes a third party’s intellectual-property rights. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the Mac App Store edition must also comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
