PolyDrive End User License Agreement

Last updated: August 6, 2026

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and the developer of PolyDrive ("Developer", "we") governing your use of the PolyDrive application for macOS, including all related components, updates, and documentation (collectively, the "App").

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

If you obtained the App from the Mac App Store, this Agreement applies between you and the Developer only — not Apple Inc. ("Apple") — and the additional terms in the section "Mac App Store terms" below also apply.

1. License grant

Subject to this Agreement, the Developer grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Mac computers that you own or control, for your personal or internal business purposes. For copies obtained from the Mac App Store, this license is further limited to use as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service.

2. Purchases, trials, and activation

Depending on where you obtained the App, full functionality is unlocked in one of two ways:

• Mac App Store edition — a one-time in-app purchase unlocks the full feature set, optionally preceded by a free trial period. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple under Apple's payment terms; the Developer does not receive or store your payment information.
• Direct-download edition — full functionality is unlocked with an activation code issued by the Developer. Activation codes are licensed for use by a single user; you may not share, publish, resell, or transfer an activation code, and the Developer may revoke codes that are leaked, resold, or obtained fraudulently.

Free-tier limits, trial length, pricing, and the exact feature set of each edition may change over time; changes will not remove functionality you have already purchased.

3. Your storage accounts and data

PolyDrive is a client. It connects to cloud-storage and network accounts that you own, using credentials that you supply, and can mount local disks and disk images that you select. You are solely responsible for:

• your accounts with each storage provider, and your compliance with that provider's own terms of service and acceptable-use policies;
• the legality of the content you store, access, or transfer through the App;
• keeping your credentials, OAuth-app configurations, and activation codes secure;
• any fees charged by your storage providers (API requests, egress bandwidth, storage, etc.).

The Developer operates no server, has no access to your files or credentials, and is not a party to your relationship with any storage provider. See the Privacy Policy for details.

4. Data-loss disclaimer — please read

The App reads from and writes to storage systems, disks, and disk images. Although it is designed and tested to handle your data safely (and mounts local ext2/3/4 and NTFS volumes strictly read-only), no file-system or file-transfer software can guarantee against data loss or corruption — including loss caused by network failures, provider outages, misconfiguration, or defects. The App is not a backup tool. You are responsible for maintaining independent backups of any data you value. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer is not liable for any loss of or damage to data.

5. Restrictions

You may not, except to the extent permitted by applicable law:

• copy (beyond normal installation and backup), distribute, rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the App or your license to it;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except for the open-source components identified below, which remain governed by their own licenses;
• circumvent, disable, or tamper with the trial, purchase, or activation mechanisms;
• use the App to infringe others' rights or to violate any applicable law;
• remove or alter any copyright or proprietary notices.

6. Open-source components

The App incorporates open-source software, including Apache OpenDAL™ (Apache License 2.0) and an ext2/3/4 reading library (MIT License), each of which is governed by its own license terms. Nothing in this Agreement restricts the rights those licenses grant you with respect to the respective components. Copies of the applicable notices are included with the App or available from the Developer on request.

7. Intellectual property

The App is licensed, not sold. The Developer and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the App, including all intellectual property rights. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Third-party product names appearing in the App (storage-provider names and logos) are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to identify the services the App can connect to; no affiliation or endorsement is implied.

8. Updates and support

The Developer may provide updates, bug fixes, or new features at its discretion, and may modify or discontinue features whose operation depends on third parties (for example, a storage provider changing or shutting down its API). Support is provided on a reasonable-efforts basis via [email protected]. The Developer is solely responsible for maintenance and support of the App; Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support.

9. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you materially breach it, including violating the restrictions in Sections 2 or 5. Upon termination you must stop using the App and delete all copies. Sections 4, 7, and 10–12 survive termination.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE DEVELOPER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you; you may also have additional consumer rights under local law that this Agreement does not limit.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP OR THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (OR US$10 IF YOU PAID NOTHING). Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

12. Legal compliance and export

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a relevant government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting", and that you are not on any relevant government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable export and re-export control laws in your use of the App.

13. Mac App Store terms

If you obtained the App from the Mac App Store, you and the Developer acknowledge that:

• this Agreement is concluded between you and the Developer only, not with Apple, and the Developer — not Apple — is solely responsible for the App and its content;
• in the event of any failure of the App to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App;
• the Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer-protection or similar claims;
• in the event of a third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of such claim;
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce it against you;
• you must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement (for example, your storage providers' terms of service) when using the App.

14. Changes to this Agreement

The Developer may update this Agreement for future versions of the App. The "Last updated" date above will change accordingly, and material changes will be noted in release notes or on this page. Your continued use of an updated version of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated Agreement.

15. General

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and the Developer concerning the App and supersedes any prior agreements on the subject. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement; the Developer may assign it in connection with a transfer of the App. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Developer's place of establishment, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except where the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence applies.
