Terms of Service

Effective 12 October 2026

1. Agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and Venelin Kochev, the independent developer of ClerkMail ("we", "us"). They apply to the ClerkMail application for macOS (the "app") and the website clerkmail.app. By downloading, installing or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

How the app handles your data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

2. Your licence to use ClerkMail

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on Macs you own or control, for personal or business email, in line with these terms.

You may not: sell, rent or redistribute the app; copy or modify it, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows this despite this restriction; remove its notices; or use it to build a competing product from its code.

3. Beta and pricing

ClerkMail is currently in beta and free of charge. Features may change, and the beta may end. We may introduce paid plans in the future; if we do, we will announce them in advance, and you will never be charged unless you choose a paid plan and agree to its price and terms at that time.

4. Your email accounts and providers

ClerkMail connects to email accounts you choose to add, such as Gmail, Google Workspace, iCloud, Proton Mail (through Proton Mail Bridge) or any IMAP and SMTP provider. When you add an account:

• you confirm that you are authorised to access it;
• your use of that account remains subject to your provider's own terms, for example the Google Terms of Service;
• you are responsible for keeping your Mac, passwords and sign-in tokens secure.

You can disconnect an account at any time by removing it in the app. For Google accounts, you can also revoke access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use ClerkMail to:

• send spam, phishing or other unsolicited or deceptive messages;
• access accounts or data you are not authorised to access;
• break the law, infringe others' rights, or violate your email providers' terms;
• interfere with or overload any email provider's systems;
• distribute malware or harmful content.

6. AI agents

ClerkMail can let AI agents that support the Model Context Protocol, such as Claude, read and act on your mail. This happens only after you create an agent in the app and choose its permissions. You agree that:

• you decide which agents to connect and what each may do, and you are responsible for the actions they take within the permissions you grant, including messages they send, move or delete;
• agents are third-party software and services not controlled by us; their providers' terms and privacy policies apply to what they do with the content they receive;
• AI output can be wrong. Review drafts and use the app's "ask" setting for actions you want to approve, such as sending, archiving or deleting.

7. Your content

Your email and other content belong to you. We claim no rights over it and do not receive it. You are responsible for the content you send with the app.

8. Our rights

The app, its design, the ClerkMail name and logo, and this website belong to us and are protected by intellectual property law. These terms give you only the licence in section 2. Third-party components included in the app are used under their own licences.

9. Updates and availability

We may release updates that fix problems, change features or keep the app working with email providers and macOS. Some updates may be needed to keep using the app, for example when a provider changes how it connects. We may stop developing or distributing the app at any time; if we do, the version you have will keep working for as long as your providers and macOS support it.

10. Ending your use

You may stop using ClerkMail at any time by removing your accounts and deleting the app and its data, as described in the Privacy Policy. We may end your licence if you seriously breach these terms. Sections 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13 continue to apply after your use ends.

11. Disclaimer

ClerkMail is beta software provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not promise that the app will be error-free or uninterrupted, or that it will never lose, misfile or fail to send a message. Keep backups of email that matters to you; your email provider normally keeps the authoritative copy of your mailbox.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits, business or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use ClerkMail, including actions taken by AI agents you connected. Because the app is free, our total liability for any claim relating to it is limited to 50 euros.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If you are a consumer, you keep all rights the mandatory law of your country gives you, and these terms do not affect them.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Bulgaria, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The courts of Bulgaria have jurisdiction over disputes, except that if you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, and you keep the protection of its mandatory consumer laws. Before going to court, please write to us; most problems can be solved quickly.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add features or paid plans, or when the law changes. We will change the effective date above and, for significant changes, give notice on this site or in the app before they apply. If you keep using ClerkMail after the changes apply, you accept them; if you do not agree, stop using it.

15. General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. If we do not enforce a right, we have not waived it. You may not transfer these terms to anyone else; we may transfer them to someone who takes over ClerkMail, who must respect your rights under them. These terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between us about ClerkMail.
