Mynotes is developed and offered by Chao Huang. In these terms, “Mynotes,” “we,” and “us” refer to Chao Huang as the developer.
1. Using Mynotes
Mynotes is a digital productivity application for saving and organizing your own web highlights, annotations, personal notes, images, PDFs, and files. You may use it only in accordance with these terms and applicable law.
Webpage highlighting, comments on highlights, page notes, webpage tags, and searching your local library are free. Mynotes Pro adds creating personal notes, adding file attachments, collecting webpage images, saving and annotating PDFs, and optional private Google Drive sync.
2. License scope
Mynotes grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the extension on your own compatible Chrome devices. A Mynotes Pro lifetime purchase unlocks Pro on devices where you restore the purchase with the same purchase email. You may not resell, transfer, share, or sublicense the Pro license, or misuse the licensing system.
3. Your content and your responsibility
You retain your rights in the original content you create and store in Mynotes. Mynotes does not claim ownership of your notes, annotations, or files. You are responsible for the content you save, attach, annotate, sync, or export and for having the rights and permissions needed to use it. Mynotes does not grant you rights to third-party webpages, images, PDFs, or other material.
4. Local storage, recovery, and backups
Mynotes is local-first. You are responsible for maintaining backups of content that is important to you. In Library & settings → Settings & Data → Data management, choose Back up to create a complete .mynotes backup of the live library and original attachments. The file is unencrypted and must be protected like the original content.
A .mynotes backup does not include device-local Trash, editor drafts, sync history, or conflicting-version recovery copies. Recover anything you want to preserve into the live library before backing up. CSV and HTML exports are reports, not complete reimportable backups. Optional Google Drive sync is a convenience feature, not a substitute for an independent backup or a guaranteed disaster-recovery service.
5. Optional third-party services
Google Drive sync requires Mynotes Pro or an active Pro trial and a Google account, and is subject to Google’s terms and policies. Payment processing and license management are provided through ExtensionPay and Stripe. Your use of those services is also subject to their terms and policies.
6. Paid access, trials, and refunds
14-day free Pro trial
New users can start a 14-day Mynotes Pro trial from Library & settings → Settings & Data → Mynotes Pro by selecting “Start 14-day trial” and following ExtensionPay’s email instructions. The trial begins when activated through that process, not automatically when the extension is installed. It unlocks all Pro features for evaluation before purchasing.
When the trial ends without a purchase, free features remain available and your saved library remains accessible. Creating new personal notes, adding attachments, collecting webpage images, saving new PDFs, creating new PDF highlights or annotations, and Google Drive sync require a Pro license. No automatic charge or subscription starts when the trial ends.
US$9.99 Pro lifetime license
Mynotes Pro is offered for a one-time price of US$9.99, plus any applicable taxes or required charges displayed before you complete checkout. This is not a subscription: it does not renew and no recurring charge is made. A lifetime license is a personal license to use Mynotes Pro for the life of the product. It is not transferable or resalable.
Strict refund policy
Because all Pro features can be evaluated during the 14-day free trial and a license grants immediate access to digital functionality, all purchases are final after checkout. We do not provide refunds for change of mind, a purchase you completed accidentally, failure to use the extension, dissatisfaction with a webpage or PDF the extension cannot support, or failure to review the product during the trial.
We will review a refund request only where (a) you were charged more than once for the same license, (b) an incorrect amount or another payment-processing error occurred, (c) the charge was unauthorized, or (d) a material technical fault prevents the licensed extension from functioning and our support team cannot resolve it. Requests must be sent to support within 7 calendar days of the charge and include the purchase email and payment reference. This policy does not limit any refund or cancellation right that cannot legally be excluded in your place of residence.
7. Ending use and license restrictions
You may stop using Mynotes and uninstall it at any time. Uninstalling or clearing Chrome extension data can remove your local library and recovery data, so create a backup first. We may restrict paid access where reasonably necessary to address payment fraud, license sharing, abuse of the service, or a violation of these terms or applicable law. Any restriction does not transfer ownership of your saved content to us.
8. Changes and availability
We may update, improve, suspend, or discontinue parts of Mynotes, including features that depend on Chrome, Google Drive, or other third-party platforms. We will make reasonable efforts to keep the extension useful, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation or compatibility with every webpage, PDF, browser version, or device.
9. Disclaimer
Mynotes is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent allowed by law. We do not guarantee that saved content will be complete, accurate, continuously available, or free from loss.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the developer of Mynotes will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill arising from your use of, or inability to use, Mynotes.
11. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by applicable law, without excluding mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live. Please contact support first so we can try to resolve a concern informally. If it cannot be resolved, either party may use a court or other process that has jurisdiction under applicable law.
