Terms of Service

Effective date: 28 June 2026 · Contact: hello.lystly@gmail.com

Lystly is operated by Veeravalli Lochani Pushpa (a sole individual, based in India). Plain-language terms for a local-first productivity app with an optional account.

1. Acceptance

By using Lystly (the "App") — as a website or an installed PWA — you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. What Lystly is

Lystly is a personal productivity application that brings planning, notes, journaling, budgeting, and habit tracking together. It is local-first: your content is stored on your device and the App works offline. An account and cloud sync are optional (see the Privacy Policy).

3. Your account (optional)

• You may use the App without an account. Some features (cross-device sync, cloud image storage, web push, receipt scanning) require one.
• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activity under your account. Notify us if you suspect unauthorised use.
• You must provide accurate registration information and be 16 or older to use the App or create an account.

4. Your content

• You own your content. You retain all rights to the data you create in Lystly. We claim no ownership of it.
• You grant us only the limited permission needed to operate the service for you — for example, to store and sync your content to your private space and to process it for features you use (such as the optional receipt scan). We do not use your content to train models or for advertising.
• You are responsible for your content and for having the right to store it.
• Third-party content and links. Lystly may let you add links to, or import content from, third-party sites. The provider does not control and is not responsible for third-party content you link to, import, or open.

5. Acceptable use

Don't use Lystly to break the law, to store or distribute unlawful material, to infringe others' rights, or to attack, overload, reverse-engineer, or circumvent the security of the service or its providers. Don't resell or redistribute the App except as the license below allows.

6. License to use the App

Subject to these Terms, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Lystly on your devices for your own use. The App's code and brand remain the property of the provider and its licensors. Open-source components are licensed under their own terms; the attributions are available in the app (Settings → About).

7. Backups and data loss

Because Lystly is local-first, your data lives on your device. You are responsible for keeping backups. The App provides a one-click export/import to a JSON file (Settings → Data) — please use it regularly. We are not responsible for data lost due to device failure, uninstalling, clearing browser storage, or your own deletions. If you use cloud sync, it is a convenience, not a guaranteed backup service.

8. Optional paid features

The current version is offered free. If Lystly introduces paid plans or in-app purchases in future, the pricing, billing, renewal, and refund terms will be described here.

9. Third-party services

When you use an account or optional features, the App relies on third-party providers — for example Supabase (auth + synced database), Cloudflare R2 (image storage), OpenAI (receipt scanning), and your browser's push service (which carries your reminder content when web push is enabled) — each with its own terms. Your use of those features is also subject to those providers' terms. See the Privacy Policy for the full sub-processor list.

10. Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. In particular, the provider does not warrant that the App or its optional cloud features (sync, image storage, web push delivery, receipt scanning) will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; reminders and notifications may be delayed or not delivered; and these features depend on third-party providers and may change or be discontinued. Lystly's budgeting figures (including the Financial Health score) are informational tools, not financial, tax, legal, or professional advice. You are responsible for decisions you make using them. This section is subject to Section 13 (Consumer rights).

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the provider is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from your use of the App. This section is subject to Section 13 (Consumer rights).

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold the provider harmless from claims, damages, and costs arising out of your content, your use of the App, or your breach of these Terms — excluding rights that cannot be waived by consumers.

13. Consumer rights (savings clause)

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes rights that cannot be limited or excluded by law — including statutory consumer rights and liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud. Where mandatory law conflicts with these Terms, that law prevails. This clause governs Sections 10, 11, 12, and 14.

14. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time and delete it. We may suspend or end access if you materially breach these Terms or misuse the service. You can erase your synced account data from within the App at any time (Settings → Data). If we suspend or end your access, your local on-device data is unaffected and remains yours — you can still export it. For full account/auth-record deletion, see the Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including 4 (ownership), 6 (license limits), 10–13 (disclaimers, liability, indemnity, consumer rights), and 15 (general) — survive.

15. General

• Severability: if any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it is severed and the remaining provisions stay in effect.
• Entire agreement: these Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and the provider regarding the App.
• No waiver: failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment: the provider may assign these Terms (e.g. on a sale or merger); you may not assign them without the provider's consent.

16. Changes to the App and these Terms

We may update the App and these Terms as Lystly evolves. Material changes to the Terms will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and you agree that disputes relating to the App will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India.
