By purchasing, downloading, or using Time Garden, you agree to these terms. We believe in empowering users while protecting creators, so these terms aim to enable your productive use of Time Garden while preventing commercial exploitation of our work.
When you purchase Time Garden, you receive a lifetime license to use it for personal and commercial productivity needs. This includes installation on up to 3 devices (easily switchable), works 14+ days offline, all future updates at no cost, full customization of templates and settings, and the right to share your customizations with the community.
Your license includes the Time Garden Obsidian plugin, complete template system, comprehensive documentation, email support, and lifetime updates delivered via manual installation (we'll send you updated files to replace when new versions are available).
Use Time Garden for your personal journaling and business productivity needs. Modify templates and plugin settings for your workflow. Create content using Time Garden's AI features. Install any Ollama-compatible AI models you prefer. Share your customizations, templates, and tips with the community (we encourage this!). Use Time Garden in your professional practice, create content for clients, and include it in your consulting services.
Don't redistribute the complete Time Garden package commercially, reverse engineer the closed-source plugin code, share your license key with others, remove licensing information from the plugin, or use our proprietary code to create competing products. We focus on preventing large-scale commercial piracy, not personal sharing between friends.
We understand some people will find ways to use Time Garden without paying. While we don't encourage this, we recognize people often want to try before they buy. We won't chase individual users or students for personal sharing. Our focus is on preventing large-scale commercial redistribution and building a community of users who support continued development. We'd rather convert curious users into paying customers through great value than pursue legal action against individuals.
Time Garden recommends Phi4, DeepSeek-R1, and Mistral (all open-source) but you can use any Ollama-compatible models. All AI processing happens locally on your device - we have zero access to your AI interactions. You're responsible for AI-generated content and following the license terms of models you choose. We don't control AI outputs and aren't liable for AI-generated content accuracy or appropriateness.
Updates are delivered via email with download links containing updated plugin files and templates for manual installation. We don't force updates - use what works for you. We commit to Obsidian compatibility updates, critical bug fixes, and feature improvements based on community feedback.
For support, check documentation first, try Time Garden's built-in AI assistant, search community discussions, then email support@timegarden.app as a last resort. We respond within 1 week and help with Time Garden functionality, but not general Obsidian or AI troubleshooting.
We're confident you'll love Time Garden! If you're not completely satisfied, request a full refund within 30 days of purchase - no questions asked. Email support@timegarden.app with your order number and we'll process your refund within 2-3 business days. We'd rather have happy customers than unhappy ones with our money.
Earn 40-50% commission on referred sales through our LemonSqueezy affiliate system. Requirements: honestly represent Time Garden's features, follow advertising laws, disclose your affiliate relationship, and maintain quality marketing (no spam or misleading claims).
What's ours: Time Garden plugin code, documentation, branding, and custom implementations. What's yours: Your vault content, template customizations, AI-generated insights, and productivity workflows. What's open: AI models follow their respective licenses, and community contributions are welcomed.
Time Garden is provided "as is" without warranties. We strive for reliability but can't guarantee uninterrupted service, compatibility with all systems, or freedom from bugs. Our maximum liability is limited to what you paid for Time Garden. We're not liable for data loss (always backup your vault!), third-party software issues, or AI model problems.
You can stop using Time Garden anytime without penalty. We may terminate your license for significant violations, commercial piracy, illegal activities, or abuse of our support systems. We'll provide reasonable notice when possible and you retain access to your local data.
These terms are governed by German law. Courts in Hamburg, Germany have jurisdiction. We may update these terms with 30 days notice via email. Material changes require your continued use to indicate acceptance.

Time Garden is more than software - it's a tool for personal growth built on privacy-first principles. We believe your data belongs to you, creators deserve support for their work, and community collaboration makes everyone more productive. These terms reflect our commitment to empowering users while building a sustainable business that can continue improving Time Garden.
These terms comply with German law and EU regulations while remaining readable by humans. Questions? Email us at support@timegarden.app - we believe legal terms should be understandable, not written to confuse users.
