Terms of Use for MarkerPad

Last Updated: 30 July 2026

PLEASE READ THESE LICENCE TERMS CAREFULLY

BY DOWNLOADING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE MARKERPAD APPLICATION, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE APPLICATION.

Who we are and what this agreement does

We, UNIQH LTD of 338 A Regents Park Road, Office 3 And 4, London, England, N3 2LN, license you to use:

MarkerPad application software, available on web, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms (the App), and any updates or supplements to it.
The features and services available through the App, including optional connections to third-party services such as Google Drive (the Service).

as permitted in these terms.

Our Services

MarkerPad provides a multi-platform Markdown editor and file workspace. Documents and embedded files are stored locally by default. You may optionally connect a supported third-party storage provider, currently Google Drive, to synchronize or back up eligible workspace files according to the settings you select.

The App is provided free of charge and does not require a MarkerPad account. A separate account with the relevant third-party provider is required if you choose to use its services. Markdown import, rendering, editing, conversion, and export may differ where source content relies on unsupported syntax, fonts, media, platform capabilities, or third-party software.

Your privacy

We use data only as described in our Privacy Policy. It explains the information processed for local editing, analytics, Google authorization, and optional Drive sync, as well as your available controls.

Synced content is transmitted between the App and the selected provider using encrypted connections. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so you should protect access to your Device and third-party accounts.

Optional Google Drive sync

Google Drive sync is optional and is activated only when you connect a Google account and grant the requested authorization. MarkerPad uses the limited drive.file permission described in our Privacy Policy. You can use the core App without connecting Google Drive. Google handles account selection and authorization; MarkerPad does not retain or display the selected account's name, email address, or account identifier.

You control the sync mode and may select:

Two-way sync: uploads and downloads changes and synchronizes deletions.
Backup only: uploads local changes while ignoring remote edits and deletions.
Mirror backup: makes the MarkerPad folder in Google Drive match the local workspace, including local deletions.
Restore only: downloads Google Drive changes without uploading local changes.

For two-way sync, you also choose how conflicts are handled: keep both copies, prefer the local copy, prefer the Drive copy, or use the most recently modified copy. Depending on these choices, a sync can create, download, upload, rename, move, replace, duplicate, or delete files and folders locally or in the MarkerPad folder in Google Drive. You are responsible for reviewing the selected mode, conflict rule, schedule, and sync result before relying on them.

If you enable remote version retention, MarkerPad may preserve and prune Google Drive revisions according to the maximum count and minimum separation you select. Revision availability remains subject to Google Drive's own behavior and limits and is not a substitute for an independent backup.

Google Drive, Google Sign-In, and their APIs are third-party services governed by Google's terms, privacy policy, account rules, quotas, and availability. Google may change, suspend, or discontinue those services or your access to them. We do not control Google Drive and cannot guarantee that a scheduled or manual sync will be uninterrupted, immediate, or error-free.

You can remove the sync service in MarkerPad or revoke MarkerPad's authorization through your Google Account connections. This stops future access after the authorization is revoked, but does not automatically delete files or revisions already stored in Google Drive. You must manage or delete those copies in Google Drive.

App Store and Platform terms also apply

The ways in which you can use the App may also be controlled by the rules and policies of the platform from which you downloaded the App (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Microsoft Store). Where there are differences between these terms and the platform's terms, the platform's terms will apply.

Support for the App and how to tell us about problems

Support. If you want to learn more about the App or the Service or have any problems using them, please visit our Help Center.
Contacting us (including with complaints). If you think the App or the Service is faulty or misdescribed or wish to contact us for any other reason, please email our customer service team at [email protected].
How we will communicate with you. If we have to contact you, we will do so by posting a notice on our website or through an in-app notification.

You must be 13 to accept these terms and use the service

You must be 13 years of age or older to accept these terms and use the Service. Optional Google services are also subject to Google's age and account-eligibility requirements in your country.

Changes to these terms

We may need to change these terms to reflect changes in law or best practice or to deal with additional features which we introduce.

We will give you at least 30 days’ notice of any change by posting a notification on our website or by notifying you of a change when you next start the App.

If you do not accept the notified changes, you will not be permitted to continue to use the App and the Service.

Updates to the App and changes to the Service

From time to time, we may automatically update the App and change the Services to improve performance, enhance functionality, reflect changes to the operating system, or address security issues. Alternatively, we may ask you to update the App for these reasons.

If you choose not to install such updates or if you opt out of automatic updates, you may not be able to continue using the App and the Services.

We may collect technical data about your device

By using the App or any of the Services, you agree to us collecting and using technical information about the devices you use the App on and related software, hardware, and peripherals to improve our products and to provide any Services to you. Any data collected will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Third-party websites and services

The App may allow you to include hyperlinks in your documents which link to other independent websites which are not provided by us. Such independent sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for and have not checked and approved their content or their privacy policies (if any).

Connections to Google Drive or another supported provider do not make that provider's services part of MarkerPad or place them under our control. You must comply with the provider's applicable terms and make your own judgement about whether to use its services.

Licence Restrictions

You agree that you will:

not rent, lease, sub-license, loan, provide, or otherwise make available, the App or the Services in any form, in whole or in part to any person without prior written consent from us;
not copy the App or Services, except as part of the normal use of the App or where it is necessary for the purpose of back-up or operational security;
not translate, merge, adapt, vary, alter or modify, the whole or any part of the App or Services nor permit the App or the Services or any part of them to be combined with, or become incorporated in, any other programs, except as necessary to use the App and the Services on devices as permitted in these terms;
not disassemble, de-compile, reverse engineer or create derivative works based on the whole or any part of the App or the Services nor attempt to do any such things, except to the extent that such actions cannot be prohibited by law;
comply with all applicable technology control or export laws and regulations that apply to the technology used or supported by the App or any Service.

Acceptable Use Restrictions

You must:

not use the App or any Service in any unlawful manner, for any unlawful purpose, or in any manner inconsistent with these terms, or act fraudulently or maliciously, for example, by hacking into or inserting malicious code, such as viruses, or harmful data, into the App, any Service or any operating system;
not infringe our intellectual property rights or those of any third party in relation to your use of the App or any Service;
not use the App or any Service in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or compromise our systems or security or interfere with other users; and
not collect or harvest any information or data from any Service or our systems or attempt to decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running any Service.

Intellectual property rights

All intellectual property rights in the App and the Services throughout the world belong to us (or our licensors) and the rights in the App and the Services are licensed (not sold) to you. You have no intellectual property rights in, or to, the App or the Services other than the right to use them in accordance with these terms.

Your content

You retain ownership of your documents, folders, images, and other content. These terms do not transfer ownership of your content to us.

You authorize the App to process your content on your Device and, when you enable a third-party service, to transmit content and issue file-management instructions to that provider solely as needed to perform the editing, export, backup, restore, and sync actions you request. This authorization does not permit us to sell your content or use it for advertising or training general-purpose artificial-intelligence models.

You are responsible for your content and must have the rights and permissions necessary to create, edit, store, export, or synchronize it. You must not use the App to infringe another person's rights, breach confidentiality, or store or distribute unlawful or harmful material.

Limitation of Liability

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
We are not liable for business losses. The App is for domestic and private use. If you use the App for any commercial, business or resale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
Limitations to the App and the Services. The App and the Services have not been developed to meet your individual requirements. Please check that the facilities and functions of the App and the Services meet your requirements.
Please keep an independent backup. Sync is not guaranteed backup or archival storage. Conflict rules, synchronized deletions, account loss, provider outages, quotas, software defects, or user error can cause content to be changed or lost. Keep a separate copy of important content and review sync results. Nothing in this clause excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
We are not responsible for events outside our control. If our provision of the Services or support for the App or the Services is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. We will not be liable for delays caused by the event.

We may end your rights to use the App and the Service if you break these terms

We may end your rights to use the App and Services at any time by contacting you if you have broken these terms in a serious way. If what you have done can be put right, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to do so.

If we end your rights to use the App and Services:

You must stop all activities authorised by these terms, including your use of the App and any Services.
You must delete or remove the App from all devices in your possession.

Ending your use of MarkerPad does not automatically delete content stored with an independent third-party provider. You remain responsible for revoking access and managing those remote copies with that provider.

We may transfer this agreement to someone else

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree in writing.

No rights for third parties

This agreement does not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this agreement.

If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force

Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
