Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By purchasing, downloading, or using Time Garden (the "Product"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Time Garden is a journaling template and plugin system for Obsidian that includes local AI capabilities for personal reflection and insight generation.

2. Product Description

Time Garden is a digital product consisting of:

• Obsidian vault templates and configurations
• Custom plugins and integrations
• Local AI processing capabilities via Ollama
• Documentation and setup guides
• Ongoing updates and improvements

Time Garden operates entirely on your local device. We do not store, access, or process any of your journal content or personal data.

3. License and Usage Rights

Upon purchase, you receive a personal, non-transferable license to use Time Garden for your individual journaling and personal development needs. You may:

You may not:

4. Privacy and Data Ownership

Your Data Stays Yours: Time Garden is designed with privacy as a core principle. All your journal entries, AI analysis, and personal data remain exclusively on your devices. We cannot access, view, or collect your journal content because it never leaves your computer.

The only data we may collect relates to product delivery (email for download links) and basic analytics for product improvement (which software versions are being used, error reports if you choose to send them).

5. System Requirements and Compatibility

Time Garden requires:

• A licensed copy of Obsidian (free for personal use)
• Compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
• Sufficient storage space for local AI models (if using AI features)
• Basic familiarity with file management and software installation

We provide setup assistance but cannot guarantee compatibility with all system configurations or third-party plugins.

6. Updates and Support

Your purchase includes ongoing updates and improvements to Time Garden. We provide:

• Free updates for bug fixes and improvements
• Email support for setup and technical issues
• Community access for tips and best practices
• Compatibility updates for new Obsidian versions

7. Refund Policy

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Time Garden doesn't meet your expectations, contact us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. We may ask for brief feedback to help improve the product, but this is optional.

8. Disclaimers and Limitations

Time Garden is provided "as is" for personal journaling and reflection. While we believe in the benefits of journaling and self-reflection, Time Garden is not a substitute for professional mental health care, therapy, or medical advice.

We are not liable for any decisions made based on insights generated by the AI features or for any data loss (though we recommend regular backups as standard practice).

9. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms occasionally to reflect product improvements or legal requirements. Significant changes will be communicated via email to existing customers. Continued use of Time Garden after changes constitutes acceptance of new terms.
