Terms of Service — Tabnook

The short version: Install Tabnook, use it to manage your tab groups. It’s free. Your data is yours and stays on your machine. Don’t reverse-engineer it or use it for anything harmful. We provide it as-is. That’s the whole deal.

01

Who these terms are between

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Loupely LLC (“Loupely,” “we,” “us,” “our”), the developer of Tabnook. By installing or using the Tabnook Chrome extension (“Tabnook,” “the extension”), you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t install or use the extension.

These Terms apply to the Tabnook Chrome extension and any associated websites, including the Tabnook landing page. They do not apply to any third-party services, including the Chrome Web Store or Google Chrome itself, which are governed by Google’s own terms.

02

What Tabnook is

Tabnook is a Chrome extension that saves and restores your tab groups, attaches notes to tabs and groups, lets you snooze groups to a scheduled time, and provides a search interface for your saved content. It runs entirely within your Chrome browser. It makes no external network requests and has no server component.

Tabnook is currently in early access. Features described in public-facing materials may be in development and not yet available in all versions of the extension. We’ll be clear about what’s shipping and when.

03

License to use Tabnook

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Tabnook on devices you own or control, for personal or professional use, subject to these Terms.

This license does not give you any ownership rights in the extension. It is not a sale. All intellectual property rights in Tabnook remain with Loupely LLC.

You may not:

  • Copy, modify, or create derivative works of the extension or its source code
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the extension except as permitted by applicable law
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the extension
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices in the extension
  • Use the extension in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations
  • Use the extension to circumvent any access controls or security measures

04

Your data

All data that Tabnook creates or stores, including your saved tab groups, notes, snooze schedules, and preferences, belongs to you. We don’t claim any rights over it.

Because Tabnook stores everything locally on your machine and makes no external network requests, we have no access to your data. We can’t recover it if you lose it, and we can’t delete it on your behalf other than by providing tools within the extension itself.

You are responsible for your own data backups. Tabnook provides an export function for this purpose. We recommend using it before updating the extension to a new major version or migrating to a new machine.

For full details on what data Tabnook stores and how, see the Privacy Policy.

05

Acceptable use

You agree to use Tabnook only for lawful purposes. You may not use Tabnook to:

  • Violate any applicable law, regulation, or the rights of any person
  • Attempt to circumvent or disable any security or access-control mechanism in Tabnook or in Chrome
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the extension
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system or data
  • Use the extension for any purpose that Loupely LLC reasonably determines to be harmful

Because Tabnook is a local tool with no server, these restrictions are largely practical reminders. There is no Tabnook network to attack, and no data flowing to us to misuse.

06

Pricing and payment

Tabnook is currently free to install and use. We may introduce paid plans in the future. If we do, we’ll give clear notice of what’s changing, what features move to a paid tier, and when. Existing users will have time to evaluate the change before it takes effect.

We will not charge you without your explicit consent to a purchase or subscription.

07

Intellectual property

Tabnook, including its source code, design, branding, and documentation, is the property of Loupely LLC and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. The Tabnook name and logo are trademarks of Loupely LLC.

Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights to use Loupely’s or Tabnook’s trademarks, logos, or brand identifiers other than as strictly necessary to describe your use of the extension in factual terms.

If you believe any content associated with Tabnook infringes your intellectual property rights, contact us at tabnook@loupelylens.com.

08

Updates and changes to the extension

We may update Tabnook at any time. Updates may add features, change behavior, or remove features. Chrome typically installs updates automatically. We’ll document significant changes in release notes.

We may also change the Chrome permissions Tabnook requests in a future update. Chrome will notify you before an update that adds new permissions and give you the choice to accept or decline the update.

We reserve the right to discontinue Tabnook at any time. If we decide to shut it down permanently, we’ll give reasonable notice and the extension will continue to work locally for as long as Chrome supports it.

09

Disclaimer of warranties

Tabnook is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Loupely LLC disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that Tabnook will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of bugs. We do not warrant that any particular version of the extension will continue to work with future versions of Chrome. Browser updates outside our control can and do affect extension behavior.

Because Tabnook stores data locally, we cannot guarantee that your data will be preserved against hardware failure, Chrome profile corruption, or other events outside our control. Use the export function to back up your data.

10

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Loupely LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use Tabnook, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of Tabnook will not exceed the amount you have paid us for the extension in the twelve months preceding the claim. Because Tabnook is currently free, this means our maximum liability is zero dollars. We know that’s stark; it’s standard for free software, and it reflects the reality that we have no revenue from which to pay claims.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

11

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Loupely LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of Tabnook in violation of these Terms or applicable law.

12

Third-party terms

Tabnook is distributed through the Chrome Web Store and runs inside Google Chrome. Your use of Chrome and the Chrome Web Store is subject to Google’s Terms of Service, which are separate from and not modified by these Terms.

Tabnook integrates no third-party SDKs, analytics services, or external code. There are no other third-party terms that apply to the extension itself.

13

Termination

You may stop using Tabnook at any time by uninstalling it from Chrome.

We may suspend or terminate your access to future updates of Tabnook if you materially breach these Terms and fail to remedy the breach within a reasonable time after notice. Because Tabnook is a local extension with no account, “termination” in practice means we may block a specific version from updating through the Chrome Web Store. It does not affect your ability to use a version you have already installed.

Sections 7, 9, 10, 11, and 14 of these Terms survive any termination.

14

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Tabnook that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania.

Before initiating any formal proceeding, we ask that you contact us first at tabnook@loupelylens.com. Most issues can be resolved quickly and without formal process.

15

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the current version. If we make a material change, we’ll note it in the extension’s release notes. Continued use of the extension after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

We will not make changes that retroactively reduce your rights regarding data you have already stored locally. We can’t anyway, since we have no access to that data.

16

Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Loupely LLC regarding Tabnook and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the rest of the Terms will remain in full force.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it in the future.

No assignment. You may not assign your rights under these Terms to anyone else. We may assign ours in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided the acquiring entity agrees to honor these Terms.
