TERMS OF SERVICE.

USING GLYPHIC MEANS ACCEPTING THESE TERMS.

These Terms form an agreement between you and Glyphic for the website, browser extension, account and synchronization services, and public community features. Glyphic is operated from Canada. By creating an account, installing or using the extension, or otherwise using the service, you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Glyphic. Nothing in these Terms limits a consumer right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived.

• Effective date: July 18, 2026
• Privacy Policy: glyphic.ca/privacy-policy
• Questions about these Terms: hello@glyphic.ca

USE AN ACCOUNT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CONTROL.

You must be at least 13 years old to use Glyphic, and a higher minimum age applies where local law requires it. If you are not old enough to enter a binding agreement where you live, a parent or legal guardian must authorize your use. You must provide accurate account and profile information, keep your credentials secure, and promptly tell us if you believe your account has been compromised. You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless applicable law says otherwise.

• Glyphic supports email-and-password and optional Google sign-in
• Do not impersonate another person or reserve a misleading identity
• Do not sell, transfer, or share account access in a way that defeats security controls

GLYPHIC CONNECTS READING, NOTES, WORKSPACES, AND CONVERSATION.

Glyphic can provide webpage highlights, private and public annotations, comments, notebooks, references, feeds, profiles, Spaces, notifications, and account synchronization. Features may be added, changed, limited, or retired as the service develops. We do not promise that every feature, third-party integration, public webpage, or browser capability will always remain available. Keep backups of important work, especially information that exists only on one device.

YOUR SHARING CHOICE DETERMINES WHO CAN SEE THE CONTENT.

Private notes and private workspace data are not public by default. When you make an explicit public contribution, your profile information and the associated annotation, selected quote, page context, comment, reaction, vote, follow, Space activity, or other public content may be displayed to anyone. Account synchronization is private to your account under server access controls, but it is not end-to-end encrypted. Device-only information may remain on a device after you sign out and may be lost if extension data is cleared or the extension is removed.

YOU KEEP OWNERSHIP. YOU GIVE GLYPHIC THE RIGHTS NEEDED TO RUN THE SERVICE.

You retain ownership of content you create. For public content, you grant Glyphic a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, format, moderate, and make that content available through and in connection with the service, including through service providers that help operate Glyphic. For private or synchronized content, the license is limited to storing, processing, synchronizing, securing, and supporting the service for you. These licenses last only as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, except that deleted material may remain temporarily in backups, safety records, legal records, or copies made by other people.

• You must have the rights and permissions needed to submit your content
• Do not publish another person's private or confidential information without authorization
• Glyphic does not claim ownership of your notes, notebooks, annotations, or comments

DO NOT USE GLYPHIC TO HARM PEOPLE, SYSTEMS, OR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

You may disagree strongly and express controversial opinions, but you may not use Glyphic for unlawful conduct, credible threats, child sexual abuse or exploitation, targeted harassment, hateful abuse, doxxing, non-consensual intimate content, impersonation, spam, coordinated manipulation, malware, infringement, unauthorized access, or attempts to evade safety, moderation, rate-limit, or account controls. You also may not scrape, automate, reverse engineer, or overload the service in a way that violates law, compromises security, or materially interferes with other people. Community Guidelines may add more specific rules for public participation when published.

PUBLIC CONTENT MAY BE CHECKED, LIMITED, OR REMOVED.

Glyphic may use automated systems, service providers, reports, and human review to evaluate public content and conduct. Content may be held for review, provisionally published, limited, hidden, or removed, and accounts may be restricted or suspended. No moderation system catches every harmful item or makes every decision correctly. Where the product provides an edit, appeal, or recovery path, you may use it; you can also contact hello@glyphic.ca. Private annotations are not submitted to the public-content moderation process unless you choose to make them public.

• Moderation can consider text, attached public GIF media, context, and account signals
• Emergency or illegal-content reports may be escalated without advance notice
• A report does not guarantee a particular outcome or response time

RESPECT CREATIVE WORK AND SEND COMPLETE NOTICES.

Do not use Glyphic to infringe copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property rights. A copyright notice sent to hello@glyphic.ca should identify the claimant, the protected work, the location of the material, the claimed infringement, the relevant date and time, and reliable contact information. A Canadian notice must not demand payment or request personal information beyond what applicable law permits. Glyphic may remove material or restrict repeat infringers when appropriate.

GLYPHIC OPERATES BESIDE SERVICES IT DOES NOT CONTROL.

Glyphic can appear on, link to, or process limited context from third-party webpages, and relies on providers such as Google, Supabase, OpenAI, Cloudflare, Resend, and KLIPY for particular features. Those providers and websites have their own terms, privacy practices, availability, and content. Glyphic is not responsible for the accuracy, safety, legality, or continued availability of a website you annotate or third-party content you choose to open, including GIF media supplied through KLIPY.

ANY PAID OFFER MUST SHOW ITS MATERIAL TERMS BEFORE PURCHASE.

Glyphic may offer paid plans or purchases in the future. Before you buy, the checkout will identify the price, currency, billing period, applicable taxes, renewal terms, and available cancellation method. Fixed mandatory charges will be included in the displayed price except government-imposed taxes or charges that must be shown separately. Transaction-specific terms presented at checkout will govern that purchase. Nothing in these Terms removes a statutory cancellation, refund, or consumer-protection right that applies to you.

ACCOUNT MESSAGES ARE NECESSARY; MARKETING IS OPTIONAL.

Glyphic may send transactional, security, password-reset, service, and account messages needed to operate your account. Marketing and promotional email requires a separate opt-in where consent is required. You can unsubscribe through the email or change supported preferences in Settings. Withdrawing marketing consent does not stop essential account or security messages.

YOU CAN LEAVE, AND GLYPHIC CAN ACT TO PROTECT THE SERVICE.

You may stop using Glyphic and use available controls to delete content or request account deletion. Local data may remain on devices until you clear it. Glyphic may limit, suspend, or terminate access for a material breach of these Terms, legal or safety risk, security abuse, nonpayment, or conduct that threatens the service or other people. Where practical, we will provide notice or an opportunity to correct a problem; urgent abuse may require immediate action. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination remain in effect, including ownership, retained-copy licenses, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute terms.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED AS AVAILABLE, WITH REAL-WORLD LIMITS.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Glyphic is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. Outages, browser changes, third-party failures, moderation delays, software defects, or data loss may occur. We do not promise uninterrupted operation, perfect security, error-free output, or that content will always remain available. Back up important work and independently verify information before relying on it. This section does not exclude a warranty or condition that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

LIABILITY IS LIMITED WHERE THE LAW ALLOWS IT.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Glyphic and its operators, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, opportunities, or data arising from the service. Our total direct liability for all claims relating to the service will not exceed the greater of CAD $100 or the amount you paid Glyphic in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited, and they do not reduce mandatory consumer rights.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLAIMS CAUSED BY YOUR UNLAWFUL USE.

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify Glyphic and its operators from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from content you submit, your infringement of another person's rights, unlawful use of the service, or a material breach of these Terms. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim was caused by Glyphic's own unlawful conduct or negligence where applicable law prevents shifting that responsibility.

START WITH A DIRECT ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Contact hello@glyphic.ca so we can try to resolve a dispute informally. Except where mandatory law gives you another forum or set of rights, these Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, and disputes may be brought in the courts of Ontario. These Terms do not require private arbitration, waive a class proceeding, or remove a mandatory consumer-protection right available where you live.

MATERIAL CHANGES WILL NOT BE HIDDEN.

Glyphic may update these Terms as the product, providers, legal requirements, or operating practices change. Material changes will be identified by a new effective date and, when appropriate, an in-product or account notice before the change takes effect. Continuing to use Glyphic after an updated version becomes effective means you accept the updated Terms. Changes will not apply retroactively where advance notice or renewed consent is required by law.

QUESTIONS CAN START WITH A HUMAN-READABLE EMAIL.

For questions about these Terms, account restrictions, copyright notices, or support, contact hello@glyphic.ca. Include enough information to identify the relevant account or content without sending passwords, authentication codes, or unnecessary sensitive information.
