These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to Flatleaf (the “App”) and Flatleaf Pro, developed and published by Busra Hekimoglu, an independent developer publishing as NoxTri (“we”, “us”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your own personal use. Because you get the App from the Apple App Store, Apple’s Standard License Agreement (EULA) and the App Store’s terms also apply; if they conflict, the term that gives you more rights applies.
2. What you scan, and copyright
The pages you scan, the recognized text and your quotes stay yours, or yours to use as you were allowed; we claim no rights to them and never see them. Books and other printed works are protected by their authors’ and publishers’ copyright. You are responsible for using Flatleaf only for works you own or have the right to use, and as far as the law allows (for example, for personal study and reading). Respect copyright when you share your scans or the files you export. Quote cards are meant for short quotes of up to 500 characters and show the work’s title and page.
3. Automatic scanning and text recognition
Finding page edges, splitting two-page spreads and recognizing text are automatic and can be imperfect; text can be missing or wrong, especially on curved pages, in low light or in unusual typefaces. Compare important text with the page image before you rely on it. You can recognize a page again with Recognize again, or after choosing another language in Settings.
4. Free version and Flatleaf Pro
Flatleaf is free: it includes unlimited scans, two-page spread splitting, image PDFs with no watermark, copying the text of any page, quote cards in 3 themes, and search across book titles and quotes. Flatleaf Pro unlocks search inside the text of every page, searchable PDFs, text (.txt) and Markdown (.md) export, and 3 more quote card themes. You can choose a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription with a 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers, or a one-time lifetime purchase. On the US App Store the prices are $2.99 a month, $14.99 a year and $24.99 for lifetime; in other countries the App Store sets the price in your local currency and shows it before you buy. Prices may change. Family Sharing is on for all three.
5. Subscription terms
Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, for the yearly subscription with a free trial, when the trial ends. A subscription renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription with Manage subscription in the App’s Settings, or in Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions on your iPhone. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and Pro stays active until the end of the period you have paid for. If you cancel during the free trial, you are not charged; any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. Apple decides who is eligible for the free trial.
6. Lifetime purchase, restoring and refunds
The lifetime purchase is a one-time payment and does not renew. Restore purchases, in Settings and on the Flatleaf Pro screen, brings your purchases to another device signed in to the same Apple Account. Apple handles refunds under its own policies; you can ask for one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If Pro ends, nothing is deleted: your books, pages, text and quotes stay, and only the Pro features lock again.
7. Your data and backups
Your data is stored only on your device; there is no iCloud sync in this version. If you lose your device or delete the App, your data is lost unless it is in your device’s own backup, and we cannot restore it. We suggest exporting important books as PDFs and keeping them somewhere else too.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to copy, modify, reverse engineer, redistribute or resell the App, except as allowed by law, and not to use the App in any way that infringes other people’s rights or is unlawful.
9. Intellectual property
The App, including its design, text, graphics and code, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership to you.
10. Disclaimer
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that it will be error-free, that it will always recognize text correctly, or that it will always be available.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including lost data or wrongly recognized text. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date above shows the current version. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
