User Agreement

Last updated: August 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using CleanDeck ("the Software"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Software. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the publisher of CleanDeck ("we", "us", or "our").

2. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Software on the number of Macs your edition permits: the Basic Edition license permits use on one Mac, and the Pro Edition license permits use on up to two Macs owned by the same individual. Licenses are one-time purchases for CleanDeck 1.x. Purchases are processed by our merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy. This license does not include the right to sublicense, sell, resell, or redistribute the Software.

3. Software Behavior & Safety

  • CleanDeck itself moves eligible files to the macOS Trash rather than permanently deleting them. Files become permanent only when the user empties the Trash.
  • CleanDeck scans only locations available under the current macOS permissions and reports when access is incomplete.
  • The Review Engine flags ambiguous files for manual user decision. CleanDeck never auto-deletes files classified as REVIEW or PROTECT.
  • CleanDeck's app analysis runs locally. Scanned file names, contents, and scan results are not uploaded to CleanDeck servers.
  • CleanDeck does not modify, replace, or interfere with macOS system files, frameworks, or kernel extensions.

4. Restrictions

  • You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software.
  • You may not modify, adapt, or create derivative works based on the Software.
  • You may not share, distribute, or make the Software available over a network where it could be accessed by multiple devices simultaneously.
  • You may not use the Software to develop a competing product.
  • You may not remove any proprietary notices or labels on the Software.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Software will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components. You assume all responsibility for selecting the Software to achieve your intended results and for the installation, use, and results obtained from the Software.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PUBLISHER OF CLEANDECK BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Software in the twelve months preceding the claim.

7. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Korea, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Seoul, Republic of Korea.

8. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date and, where practical, providing additional notice. Your continued use of the Software after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
