Terms of service.
These terms govern your use of the notchpilot.app website and the NotchPilot desktop application. By using either, you agree to these terms.
1. Who we are
NotchPilot is operated by Romain Kania, Entrepreneur Individuel, 237 Rue du Faubourg de Roubaix, 59800 Lille, France. SIRET : 831 813 746 00029. Contact: kaniaromain@gmail.com.
2. The service
NotchPilot is a native macOS application that surfaces Claude Code agent activity and macOS system HUD events inside the MacBook notch. The application runs entirely on your local machine — see our privacy policy for details on what stays local.
The website notchpilot.app is a marketing and distribution site for the application.
3. License to use the app
When you purchase a NotchPilot license, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the NotchPilot application on Mac computers you own or control, for personal or internal business use, for as long as you comply with these terms.
The license is per-user. One purchase covers all your personal Macs.
4. What you may not do
You agree not to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the application, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law.
- Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or otherwise distribute the application or your license key.
- Remove or alter any proprietary notices, branding, or labels.
- Use the application to engage in any illegal activity or to violate any third party's rights.
- Attempt to circumvent the trial-period or licensing mechanisms.
- Use the website in a way that disrupts service for other users (e.g., automated scraping at high frequency).
5. Pricing and payment
NotchPilot is sold for €9.99 once after a 7-day free trial. All purchases are processed by Paddle (Paddle.com Market Limited, Ireland), our merchant of record. Paddle's checkout buyer terms apply to the transaction itself.
Refunds are governed by our refund policy.
6. Updates and lifetime access
Your purchase includes lifetime updates for the version of NotchPilot you bought, plus all future agents and features added to the individual tier. We may release a separate Teams tier in the future; that tier will be priced separately and is not included in the individual license.
We may discontinue features at any time, but will not retroactively remove features that were materially central to your decision to buy.
7. Intellectual property
All content on the website (text, images, logo, code) and the NotchPilot application itself remain the exclusive property of Romain Kania. Your license grants you the right to use the application — not ownership.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The application and the website are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, except where such warranties cannot be excluded by applicable consumer protection law.
We do not warrant that the application will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every macOS configuration.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from your use of the application or website shall not exceed the amount you paid for your NotchPilot license in the 12 months preceding the claim.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.
Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable consumer protection law (in particular, the rights granted to EU consumers).
10. Termination
You may stop using the application at any time. We may terminate your license if you materially breach these terms; in such case, we will notify you by email and give you a reasonable opportunity to cure the breach where possible.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be announced on the homepage. Continued use of the application after a change means you accept the updated terms.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by French law. Any dispute relating to the application or website shall be brought before the competent courts of Lille, France, except where mandatory consumer law grants you the right to bring the dispute before the courts of your place of residence.
EU consumers may also use the European Online Dispute Resolution platform.
