Quire Terms of Service

Version 2026-09-04 · Effective on first publication

Supersedes version 2026-09-03, which remains on file.

One section added: §7, "Ideas you send us." Quire now asks for feature suggestions the same way it already asks for bug reports, and there was nothing in these Terms saying what happens to an idea once it is sent. Sections 7 onward are renumbered to make room; nothing else in them changed.

These Terms are the agreement between you and us. Our Privacy Policy is a different document — that one describes what we collect, this one is the deal. Where they overlap they should say the same thing; the Privacy Policy is the accurate one about data.

Quire ("Quire", "Quire Notes", the app) is published by Venture98 LLC, a Virginia limited liability company ("we", "us"). By using Quire you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use it.

The short version

  • Your notes are yours. We claim nothing in them, and we do not have them.
  • Quire is a notebook, not a teacher. The tutor can be wrong. Check its working.
  • You are responsible for anything you share a link to, and for what you do with someone else's material.
  • If you suggest a feature, we may build it — or not — and either way you are not owed anything for the idea.
  • Subscriptions are billed by Apple, renew automatically, and are cancelled and refunded through Apple, not us.
  • We can stop providing the online services, and this section is why you should not rely on them as your only copy of anything.

1. What Quire is

Quire is a notebook for iPad that stores its notes as ordinary files in a folder you choose, plus an optional tutor that checks maths.

Some parts run entirely on your iPad and work with the network off. Some parts — the online tutor, share links, bug reports — talk to our servers. Which is which is set out in the Privacy Policy.

2. Who may use it

You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, or have the consent of a parent or guardian. If you are using Quire as a student under the direction of a school, the school's own agreements may also apply and we are not a party to them.

3. Your notes are yours

You own everything you write. We claim no ownership of your notes, your handwriting, or anything you make with Quire. We do not read them, and for notes that stay on your device we could not.

You do not grant us a licence to your notes by using the app, because using the app does not give them to us.

4. Share links

When you create a share link, you upload a copy of that note to our servers so the link has something to open. In doing that you give us permission to store that copy and serve it to whoever has the link — nothing more, and only for as long as the link exists.

A link is a credential. Anyone holding it can read what it points to, without signing in. Treat it the way you would treat the document itself. We cannot control where a link is forwarded once you have sent it.

You may revoke a link at any time from inside the app; that deletes the copy. Links expire on their own after one year.

You are responsible for what you share. Do not share material you do not have the right to share, and do not use share links to distribute anything unlawful.

5. The tutor, and what it is not

The tutor can be wrong. The on-device tutor does exact arithmetic and refuses to show a step that does not follow, but it can still misread what you wrote, miss what you meant, or fail to find the mistake you actually made. The online tutor is a language model and can be confidently incorrect.

It is not a teacher, an examiner, or a qualification. It is a tool for checking your own working. Do not rely on it for anything that matters — coursework, an examination, a grade — without checking the result yourself.

Academic honesty is yours to manage. Many schools and examination boards restrict the help you may use. Quire does not know your institution's rules and does not enforce them. Using the tutor where it is not permitted is your responsibility, not ours.

6. Subscriptions and payment

The tutor service is a paid subscription sold through the App Store.

  • Apple bills you, not us. We never see your payment details.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and are charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
  • Cancel and request refunds through Apple, in your Apple Account settings. We cannot cancel your subscription or issue a refund on Apple's behalf.
  • Prices can change. We will say so before a change takes effect, and you can cancel.
  • You may instead use your own Anthropic API key at no charge from us. What Anthropic charges you for that is between you and them.

7. Ideas you send us

Quire has a way to send us a feature suggestion, the same way it has a way to send a bug report. We read every one. This section says what happens after that.

We may consider any suggestion, use all of it, use part of it, use a different idea it happened to remind us of, or do nothing with it — entirely at our discretion. Sending us an idea does not create an obligation to use it, to tell you why we did not, or to credit you if we do.

You will not be compensated for a suggestion, in any amount and in any form, even if we build the exact feature you described. An idea for a feature is not a contribution we are paying for; it is a conversation with people who make the decisions about this app, and the decisions stay ours.

You keep whatever rights you had before you sent it. We are not asking you to sign anything away — only saying plainly that using your idea, if we do, does not create a debt to you. If you want to be paid for an idea, or credited for it, or to keep it confidential between us, say so before you send it and do not rely on this section to cover that conversation; by default, none of those apply.

8. What you must not do

  • Break the law with it, or help somebody else to.
  • Share material you have no right to share.
  • Try to reach other people's shares, guess tokens, or get at data that is not yours.
  • Attack, overload or probe our servers, or work around rate limits.
  • Resell the tutor service or pass it off as your own.

9. We can stop

We may change, suspend or discontinue the online parts of Quire — the tutor service, share links, bug reporting — at any time, with notice where we reasonably can.

This is the reason the app stores your notes as ordinary files in a folder you control. If every server we run vanished tomorrow, your notes would still open, because they are files on your device and always were. Do not treat a share link as a backup.

We may end your access if you break these Terms.

10. Copyright and takedown notices

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement concerning material stored on our systems at the direction of users — which, in Quire, means material behind a share link.

Designated agent for notice of claimed infringement:

Venture98 LLC Attn: DMCA Agent 8401 Mayland Dr, Ste A Richmond, VA 23294, USA legal@venture98apps.com

U.S. Copyright Office registration DMCA-1079221

A notice must include everything 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) requires: a signature, the work claimed, the material to be removed and where to find it, your contact details, a statement of good-faith belief, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorised to act.

We will remove or disable access to material that is the subject of a valid notice. Revoking a share deletes the stored copy outright rather than hiding it.

On repeat infringement. Quire has no accounts. There is no login, no profile, and nothing in the app that identifies a person, so there is no account for us to suspend or terminate — and we will not claim a policy we have no means of applying. What we can do, and will, is delete the material a valid notice names and decline to host further copies of it. If Quire ever gains accounts, this section gains a termination policy with them.

Counter-notices may be sent to the same address and must contain what §512(g)(3) requires.

11. No warranty

Quire is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the tutor's answers will be correct.

12. Limit of our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost opportunities.
  • Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before it arose, or $50, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, in which case they apply as far as the law permits.

Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for anything that cannot lawfully be limited.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the state or federal courts sitting in Virginia, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Each version is dated and kept on file. When a change is significant we will say so in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use Quire after that means you accept the new version.

A significant change must be accepted before you can keep using the app. Quire checks the version on file against the version you last agreed to every time it opens, and shows you what changed if the two differ.

15. The rest

If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest stands. Our not enforcing something is not a waiver of it. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between us about Quire.
