Terms of Service

Last Updated: November 05, 2026

Welcome to the FlashNote cross-browser writing workspace and associated software services (collectively, the “Services” or “this Application”). These Terms of Service (these “Terms” or “ToS”) constitute a legally binding service contract between you (the “User” or “you”) and Aicrosoft (“we,” “us,” or the “Developer”) governing your installation, configuration, and use of this browser extension, as well as accessing technical support services.

Please read these Terms carefully before using the Services. For browser extension software licensing and usage restrictions, please review our End User License Agreement (EULA); for personal data handling and zero cloud tracking commitments, please review our Privacy Policy; for technical neutrality and third-party interface disclaimers, please review our Disclaimer.

1. Scope of Services and Product Positioning

  1. Service Overview: The Services encompass a sidebar Markdown authoring workspace provided by Aicrosoft for technical bloggers, creators, and researchers across major web browsers (including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox). This includes technical capabilities such as the Tiptap WYSIWYG editor, KaTeX mathematical formula rendering, Mermaid interactive diagrams, global web clipping, tree-structured book compilation, and one-click direct compilation pipelines for static blogs (such as MagicNote).
  2. 100% Free Core Offering: This Application remains committed to pure creative empowerment. All standard features—including quick notes, rich diagramming, book compilation, and delta cloud synchronization—are made available 100% free of charge to users worldwide, with no in-app purchases, no hidden fees, and no commercial advertisement insertions.

2. User Conduct and Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

When utilizing this Extension to write, clip, or connect external synchronization endpoints, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and refrain from:

  1. Malicious Code Injection: Attempting to inject malicious XSS scripts, phishing links, or backdoor exploits into the Extension via Markdown source mode or rich-text clipboard pasting;
  2. Lawful Content Warranty: Ensuring that captured web clippings and published articles respect third-party copyrights and intellectual property laws, and refraining from using this tool to author, distribute, or disseminate unlawful content that violates public order or third-party rights;
  3. Legitimate API Utilization: Safeguarding personal access tokens (PAT) when utilizing built-in WebDAV, GitHub, or private cloud storage endpoints for blog building and sync, and refraining from pushing malicious, destructive, or abusive payloads to public open-source communities;
  4. Respectful Support Engagement: Communicating through technical support, issue trackers, or community feedback channels free of commercial spam, defamatory statements, harassment, or abusive flooding.

3. Third-Party Ecosystem and External Dependencies

  1. Independence of External Platforms: This Application facilitates direct interaction with third-party code hosting platforms (GitHub, Gitee), WebDAV storage providers, and official browser extension stores. These third-party services are governed by their respective Terms of Service and policies. The Developer assumes no joint or vicarious liability for external service availability, API changes, or account restrictions.
  2. Official Distribution Channels: Users should obtain this Extension exclusively through officially certified web stores (Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge Add-ons, Firefox Add-ons) or our official website. The Developer accepts no responsibility for data loss or security breaches resulting from modified or unofficial CRX installation packages.

4. Software Updates, Web Standards Evolution, and Local Storage Notice

  • Browser Platform Evolution: Core browser extension frameworks (such as Chromium Manifest V3 specifications and storage sandbox permission models) evolve continuously. We reserve the right to deploy architectural updates, functional iterations, and permission refinements to align with evolving browser standards.
  • Local Storage Disaster Recovery: As this Extension operates strictly on local browser storage mechanisms (IndexedDB and LocalStorage), users are expected to utilize the built-in “Export Library” or “ZIP Backup” utilities to maintain regular offline backups. The Developer cannot remotely restore or retrieve data lost due to user actions (such as clearing browser cookies or caches), extension resets, or host operating system crashes.

5. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the People’s Republic of China, excluding conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be resolved through amicable negotiations; failing which, the dispute shall be submitted to the competent people’s court located in the Developer’s domicile.
