Cay License Terms
These terms are an agreement between you and Junhan Lee ("we", "us") about your use of the Cay app for macOS ("Cay"). They apply to Cay Free, the Cay Pro trial and Cay Pro. By installing or using Cay, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not install or use Cay.
If you use Cay for an organization, you accept these terms for that organization and confirm that you are allowed to do so.
1. What you get
Cay Free. You may install and use Cay Free on any number of Macs, for personal or work use, at no cost, for as long as you like.
Cay Pro trial. The first time you open Cay on a Mac, Cay Pro features are available for 3 days. After 3 days Cay switches to Cay Free on that Mac. Your captures, library and settings stay as they are.
Cay Pro license. When you buy Cay Pro, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Cay Pro:
- for one person (you, or the one person your organization assigns the license to);
- on up to 3 Macs at the same time, each activated with your license key;
- with every 1.x version of Cay that we release.
An organization that wants Cay Pro for several people needs one license per person.
The license is a one-time purchase. It does not expire. You can keep using the last 1.x version you have for as long as it runs on your Mac. We do not promise that a 1.x version will run on future versions of macOS.
Version 2.0 and later. A future major version (2.0 or later) may be a paid upgrade. Owners of a 1.x license will get a discounted upgrade price. Buying an upgrade is optional.
We decide which updates to release and when. We are not required to release any particular update.
2. Buying Cay Pro
Lemon Squeezy is the Merchant of Record for Cay Pro. You buy the license from Lemon Squeezy, which processes the payment and handles sales tax and VAT. Lemon Squeezy's terms apply to the purchase: https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/terms
Prices are shown at checkout. We may change the price of Cay Pro for future purchases. A price change does not affect a license you already bought.
Your license key is in the receipt email from Lemon Squeezy and on Lemon Squeezy's My Orders page (https://app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders).
3. Activation and license checks
- Activating a Mac needs an internet connection. Cay sends your license key and a device label (for example "Cay on MacBook Pro (a1b2)") to Lemon Squeezy. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
- While your Mac is online, Cay checks the license about once every 7 days.
- If Cay cannot reach Lemon Squeezy, Cay Pro keeps working for 30 days after the last successful check. After that, Pro features pause until Cay can check again. Your data is not affected.
- To move Cay Pro to another Mac, choose Settings › License › Deactivate this Mac on the old Mac, then activate the new one. If you can no longer reach the old Mac, write to support@getcay.app and we will reset your activations.
- If your license is refunded, charged back or disabled for a breach of these terms, Cay Pro features stop at the next license check and Cay continues as Cay Free.
4. Refunds
You can get a full refund within 14 days of purchase, for any reason. Write to support@getcay.app with your order number or the email address you used at checkout. The refund goes back to your original payment method through Lemon Squeezy. When we issue the refund, we disable the license key.
This section does not limit any right to a refund or to withdraw from the purchase that the law where you live gives you.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- capture, record or share content that you do not have the right to capture, record or share;
- record other people's voices or screens without the consent that the law where you or they live requires;
- use Cay to break the law or to violate other people's privacy or rights;
- share, publish, sell or rent your license key, or use it on more Macs or for more people than your license allows;
- get around the license checks or the trial, for example by changing the Keychain items or the system clock that Cay uses;
- copy, modify, distribute, sell or rent Cay, or remove its notices;
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble Cay, except where the law allows it despite this restriction.
6. Your content and AI agents
Your captures, recordings, notes and everything else you create with Cay belong to you. Cay processes them on your Mac. We do not receive them.
You decide what to send to AI agents and other apps. When you send a capture to an AI agent, the agent and the company that runs its model handle it under their own terms. You are responsible for what you send and for having the right to send it.
Shield helps you hide secrets and personal data before a capture leaves Cay. It is a tool that can make mistakes. It can miss information it cannot read or does not recognize, and it can hide information you wanted to keep. Check the preview before you send. We do not guarantee that Shield will find everything.
7. Other companies' software and services
Cay works with software and services made by other companies, such as terminal apps, AI agents, web browsers and Lemon Squeezy. We are not responsible for them, and they are not affiliated with us. Their names may be trademarks of their owners.
8. Privacy
The Privacy Policy at getcay.app/privacy explains what data Cay uses and what leaves your Mac. It is part of these terms.
9. Ownership
Cay is licensed to you, not sold. We and our licensors keep all rights in Cay, including its code, design, name and icon, except the rights these terms give you. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.
10. No warranty
To the extent the law allows, Cay is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that Cay will be free of errors, that it will work without interruption, that it will deliver every capture to every agent, or that Shield will hide all sensitive information.
Some places do not allow these exclusions. In those places, the exclusions apply only as far as the law allows.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows:
- we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, revenue or business, or for the disclosure of information that you chose to send to an AI agent or another app, even if we were told such damages were possible;
- our total liability for all claims about Cay is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for Cay Pro and (b) 30 US dollars.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for fraud, or rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived.
12. Ending these terms
You can stop using Cay at any time by deleting it. These terms end automatically if you break them. When they end, you must stop using Cay and delete it. Sections 6, 9, 10, 11 and 13 continue to apply after the terms end.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The courts of the Republic of Korea have jurisdiction over any dispute about these terms, unless the law where you live as a consumer gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts. Consumer protection rules of your country that cannot be waived still apply.
14. Export rules
You may not use or export Cay where export control or sanctions laws forbid it.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The version published at getcay.app/terms applies from its effective date. A change that reduces your rights under a Cay Pro license you already bought does not apply to that license unless you agree to it.
