Terms of Use
Last updated:
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of Spur Notes, provided by Probably Fine. Studio / Gaku Nimiya (“Spur Notes,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By using Spur Notes, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
1. The Service
Spur Notes is a note-taking application designed to help you write, organize, and connect related thoughts.
Depending on the features you use, Spur Notes may provide:
- local note storage
- Related Notes and branching
- search, tags, pinned notes, and NOW
- version history and recently deleted notes
- export features
- account sign-in
- cloud synchronization
- paid subscription features through Spur Pro
We may change, improve, add, or remove features over time.
2. Guest Use and Accounts
You may use basic note-taking features without creating an account.
Guest data is primarily stored locally on your device. You are responsible for maintaining access to your device and for making any exports or backups you consider necessary.
Some features, including cloud synchronization and certain Spur Pro features, require you to sign in.
You may sign in using supported third-party providers such as Apple or Google.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for activity conducted through your account.
3. Your Content
You retain ownership of the notes and other content you create in Spur Notes.
You grant us only the limited rights necessary to operate the service, such as storing, transmitting, processing, and synchronizing your content when you choose to use cloud features.
We do not claim ownership of your notes.
We do not use the contents of your notes for advertising.
4. Spur Pro
Spur Pro is an optional paid subscription that may provide features such as:
- cloud synchronization across devices
- unlimited branching
- other Pro features described in the app or store listing
The exact features included in Spur Pro may change over time.
Core access to your own writing is not intended to be locked behind a subscription.
5. Subscriptions, Billing, and Trials
Spur Pro subscriptions are purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Your purchase is subject to the billing terms, subscription rules, and refund policies of the store through which you subscribed.
Subscription prices, currencies, trial eligibility, introductory offers, taxes, and renewal terms are determined by the applicable store and may vary by country or region.
If a free trial or introductory offer is available, eligibility is determined by the applicable store.
Unless canceled, subscriptions may automatically renew according to the terms shown by the applicable store at the time of purchase.
You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings.
We do not directly process or store your full payment-card details.
6. Purchase Restoration and Entitlements
Spur Notes may verify purchase information with Apple or Google in order to determine whether Spur Pro features should be available to your account.
You may be able to restore eligible purchases using the restore-purchase functionality in the app.
A purchase may be associated with the Spur Notes account used when the entitlement was established. In some cases, you may need to sign in with the same Spur Notes account to restore access.
7. Data and Backups
We aim to provide features that help you recover and preserve your notes, including Version History, Recently Deleted, cloud synchronization, and export.
However, no storage or synchronization system can guarantee that data will never be lost.
You are responsible for keeping copies or exports of content that is especially important to you.
If you use Spur Notes only as a guest, uninstalling the app, erasing application data, losing the device, or otherwise removing local data may result in permanent loss of guest-only content.
8. Acceptable Use
You may not use Spur Notes to:
- violate applicable laws or regulations
- infringe the rights of others
- access or attempt to access another person’s account or data without authorization
- interfere with or disrupt the service or its infrastructure
- reverse engineer, probe, or abuse the service in a manner intended to bypass security or usage controls, except where such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law
- use automated methods to overload, scrape, or misuse the service
- distribute malware or otherwise use the service to cause harm
We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect users, the service, or our infrastructure.
9. Third-Party Services
Spur Notes relies on third-party services, including services provided by Apple, Google, Firebase, and Google Cloud.
Your use of those services may also be subject to their own terms and policies.
We are not responsible for outages, changes, restrictions, or other actions taken by third-party providers that are outside our reasonable control.
10. Service Availability and Changes
We aim to keep Spur Notes available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
We may:
- modify features
- change technical requirements
- suspend parts of the service

- discontinue the service
Where reasonably possible, we will try to avoid unnecessary disruption and provide notice of material changes.
11. Termination
You may stop using Spur Notes at any time.
You may request deletion of your account or associated cloud data by contacting us.
We may suspend or terminate access where necessary to address serious misuse, security risks, fraud, legal obligations, or violations of these Terms.
Termination does not affect rights or obligations that by their nature should survive termination.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Spur Notes is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
We do not make warranties that:
- the service will always be available

We will not be responsible for losses caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including third-party service outages, device failure, connectivity problems, or actions of Apple, Google, or other platform providers.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such limitation is prohibited by law.
