Shelf

1. Acceptance

These terms are between you and Fourteener Labs, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) and govern your use of the Shelf macOS app (the “App”). By installing or using the App, you agree to these terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. License

Subject to these terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Macs you own or control. You may not redistribute, rent, lease, sublicense, sell, reverse engineer, or decompile the App except where applicable law expressly permits it.

3. Your Content

Shelf holds files, images, and text that you choose to place on it. You are responsible for the items you add and for having the right to store and use them. Everything you add is stored locally on your Mac and is not transmitted to us or anyone else.

4. Temporary Storage — Not a Backup

Shelf is a temporary staging area by design. Unless you pin an item, the App automatically deletes it from your Mac after your selected retention window. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone from within the App. Shelf is not a backup, archive, or long-term storage service. Keep anything you need to retain elsewhere, and do not rely on Shelf to preserve important data.

5. No Network Service

Shelf does not connect to the internet and Fourteener Labs does not operate a server for it. All functionality runs locally on your Mac. We do not receive, store, or have access to anything you place on the shelf.

6. Free Trial and Purchase

Shelf includes a time-limited free trial of the full app, followed by an optional one-time, non-consumable purchase (the “Unlock”). During the trial every feature works at no charge; when the trial ends, the Unlock is required to continue using the App. The trial requires no payment, does not automatically convert to a purchase, and is not a subscription or an auto-renewing offer. It is tracked locally on your Mac; reinstalling or resetting the App does not guarantee an additional trial.

The Unlock is a single, one-time purchase — not a subscription. The App Store displays the current price before you buy. Apple processes payment, refunds, family sharing where applicable, and purchase restoration under Apple's terms; we do not receive your payment-card information. Purchases are tied to the Apple Account used for the transaction and can be restored through the App.

7. Updates and Changes

We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue features to maintain compatibility, security, or legal compliance. We do not guarantee that a particular feature will remain available. App updates may be required for continued operation.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, SECURITY, DATA PRESERVATION, AND UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FOURTEENER LABS, LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA ARISING FROM THE APP, INCLUDING THE AUTOMATIC DELETION OF SHELVED ITEMS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

10. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may terminate this license if you materially violate these terms. Provisions that should reasonably survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law, will survive.

11. Apple Terms

If you obtain the App through the App Store, these terms are between you and Fourteener Labs, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or required to provide support. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them. Apple's standard App Store license terms also apply.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by Colorado law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts located in Colorado will have jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law gives you additional rights or requires another forum.

13. Changes, Severability, and Contact

We may update these terms by posting a revised version with a new effective date. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. Questions can be sent to support@fourteenerlabs.com.
