Terms of Service

Last Updated: February 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Contextify, including the macOS application, Linux CLI tool, and optional Contextify Cloud service (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Description of Service

Contextify is a developer productivity tool that monitors AI coding sessions (such as Claude Code and Codex CLI) and maintains a searchable history of conversations.

The Service consists of:

  • Local Application: A macOS app and Linux CLI tool that run entirely on your device. These operate without any network connection and store data locally.
  • Contextify Cloud (optional): A cloud sync service that allows you to search your conversation history across devices. Cloud sync is user-initiated and requires a paid subscription.

The local application is fully functional without Contextify Cloud. Cloud features are entirely optional.

2. Plans and Pricing

Contextify is available in Free and paid tiers. Current pricing is listed on the pricing page. Prices are listed in USD. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days written notice to existing subscribers.

3. Account Registration

To use Contextify Cloud, you must create an account and provide a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and API keys. You must promptly notify us if you believe your account has been compromised.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.

4. Subscription Billing

  • Subscriptions are billed monthly via Stripe.
  • Billing begins when you subscribe and renews automatically each month on the same date.
  • You authorize us to charge your payment method on file for recurring subscription fees.
  • Failed payments may result in suspension of cloud features. Your local data is never affected.

5. Cancellation and Refunds

  • You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings.
  • Upon cancellation, your cloud features remain active until the end of the current billing period.
  • We do not issue refunds for partial months.
  • If we change pricing or Terms in a way you disagree with, you may cancel before the next billing cycle with no further charges.
  • After cancellation, your cloud data is retained for a reasonable period to allow you to resubscribe or export your data. See our Privacy Policy for details on data retention.

6. Acceptable Use

Contextify is designed for developer productivity. You agree not to:

  • Use the cloud service to store data unrelated to AI coding sessions
  • Attempt to circumvent usage limits or storage quotas
  • Use the Service to violate any applicable laws or regulations
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
  • Share account credentials with unauthorized users
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the application
  • Distribute, sublicense, or rent the application to third parties
  • Use automated systems to abuse API endpoints

7. Data Ownership

You own your data. Contextify acts as a data processor, not a data owner.

  • Your AI conversation transcripts, summaries, and metadata belong to you.
  • We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your content.
  • We do not use your data to train AI models or for any purpose beyond providing the Service to you.
  • You may export your account data at any time through the application or API.

8. Intellectual Property

The Contextify application, website, branding, and associated documentation are owned by Contextify and protected by copyright and trademark law. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose.

9. Third-Party Content

The Service processes transcripts from Claude Code (Anthropic) and Codex CLI (OpenAI). Your use of those tools is governed by their respective terms of service. We are not affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI.

10. Service Availability

  • Local application: Fully offline. No availability dependencies.
  • Pro and Team plans: Cloud features are provided on a best-effort basis. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee a specific uptime percentage. We will notify users of planned maintenance when possible.
  • Enterprise plan: Enterprise customers receive a separate Service Level Agreement (SLA) as part of their contract.

Scheduled maintenance windows are communicated via email. In the event of extended unplanned downtime, we will provide status updates at contextify.sh.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CONTEXTIFY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Contextify from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

14. Termination

  • By you: You may stop using the Service at any time. Cancel your subscription through your account settings.
  • By us: We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, engage in abusive behavior, or fail to pay subscription fees after notice.
  • Effect of termination: Upon termination, your access to cloud features ends. Cloud data is retained for a reasonable period, then permanently deleted. See our Privacy Policy for details.
  • Local data: Termination of cloud services never affects your local data. The local application continues to function independently.

15. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes at least 30 days before they take effect, via the email address associated with your account. Changes are also posted on this page with an updated date.

If you disagree with the updated Terms, you may cancel your subscription before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of the State of Oregon.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Contextify regarding the Service. Enterprise customers may have additional terms as specified in their separate agreement.
