Welcome to abox.co. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between the Abox team and its operator (“we”, “us”) and you, the person who registers for, installs or uses our products and services (“you”).
Abox follows a multi‑product architecture: we ship multiple independent tools under one brand vision; they currently include, without limitation, aNote (notes) and urlB (a browser extension for saving and organizing tabs), as listed on our website.
Please read these Terms carefully before using our services. By starting to use any product or service, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to all of these Terms. If a specific product has separate terms, those apply to that product and operate in parallel with these Terms where they do not conflict.
1. Services and scope
- Service description: abox.co is a “simple, dependable” tool suite.
- aNote: A cross‑platform Markdown note‑taking and sharing app.
- urlB: A browser extension that lets you save tabs into groups, manage groups, search and navigate, use a staging area for batch work, protect against accidental deletion with trash and safeguards, import and export data, and create share links per group. Core data is handled locally first; some features require browser permissions you grant and optional network services.
- Accounts: Some products or features may require an account; others may offer full or partial functionality without signing in. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account.
2. Your content and ownership
- Ownership: You retain all intellectual property and other lawful rights in content you create, upload, store or organize across our services.
This includes, without limitation: Markdown notes and attachments in aNote; in urlB, saved URLs, page titles, group and item metadata (such as notes, stars, pins) and text or lists you supply via import. - License for sharing:
- When you use aNote sharing to publish notes publicly, you grant us a worldwide, royalty‑free, non‑exclusive license to display, distribute and deliver that content to the audience you designate.
- When you use urlB features such as group sharing to generate a share link, you agree that we may show the information needed for that share (such as the link set and any notes or stars you include) to anyone with the link, on our servers, for the active period; links can expire on the schedule you set, and you may cancel sharing at any time.
- Responsibility for content: You are solely responsible for content you publish, share or store. Third‑party sites are responsible for what appears at URLs you save or share; we do not warrant the legality of third‑party sites. You must not use our services to create, copy or publish anything unlawful, infringing or that violates others’ rights.
3. Acceptable use
When using abox.co services, you agree that you will:
- Not attack, gain unauthorized access to, or disrupt our services.
- Not abuse storage, bandwidth, API quotas or open interfaces—including share or sync endpoints—in ways that harm stability or fairness, so we can keep services simple and dependable.
- Respect open‑source licenses and the intellectual property and usage rules of third‑party components, browsers and the extension ecosystem.
4. Data security and privacy
- Backups: While we work to run reliable services, we recommend that you back up important data regularly (including notes and exports from our products).
- Privacy policy: For how we collect and use personal information, see our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal data to third parties without authorization.
- Territory and governing law: Our services are offered to users worldwide; storage, cross‑border transfers and specific rights and obligations are described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply where you live, where you access or use the services, and where your data is stored or routed. Within what applicable law allows, we will meet requirements for service operations and personal information processing in the places where we operate, where services are provided and where data is processed. If rules in different jurisdictions conflict, the mandatory rules that apply to you and to the protection of personal data take precedence.
5. Changes, suspension and termination
- Updates: We may update products from time to time (features, architecture or security).
- Suspension or termination: If you breach these Terms, we may suspend or terminate your access as appropriate under our policies.
- Discontinuation: If we discontinue a tool, we will give at least 30 days’ notice on our website or in‑app where reasonable, and provide export or migration paths where feasible (including formats aNote and urlB already support and any alternatives we announce), so your data stays portable and dependable.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
- “As is”: Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- Limitation of liability: To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from use of or inability to use the services.
7. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms and post the latest version on our website. Material changes will be highlighted on the website or in‑app. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
