Terms of Use — Markd.ly
Last updated: May 13, 2026 · Effective: May 13, 2026
Bravely Studios LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the Markd.ly application (the “App”). These Terms of Use govern your use of the App. Please read them carefully before using the service.
Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using the Markd.ly application (the "App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
Description of Service
Markd.ly is a native markdown editor for macOS and Windows, with free companion editors for iPhone and Android. The App stores your documents locally on your device. Bravely Studios LLC distributes the desktop downloads directly at bravely.dev; some platform-specific builds may also be distributed through the Apple App Store.
Free & Pro Tiers
The free tier is a complete editor. Markd.ly Pro is a one-time desktop lifetime purchase that unlocks Pro features on the Mac and Windows desktop builds. The iPhone and Android apps remain free local editors and do not use the desktop activation flow.
License Grant
Upon purchasing a valid Markd.ly Pro lifetime license, Bravely Studios LLC grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Pro features of the App on desktop devices you own or control for personal or business use. You may not share, sublicense, or redistribute your license to another person without prior written consent.
Pricing & Payment
Markd.ly Pro is offered as a one-time lifetime desktop purchase ($19 launch / $29 retail). Web purchases are processed by our merchant-of-record billing provider, which handles billing, invoicing, and sales tax/VAT compliance on our behalf. We do not collect, process, or store payment card details. If you buy through the Apple App Store, Apple handles the transaction under its own billing terms.
Refund Policy
We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. If Markd.ly is not a fit, you may request a refund under the following terms:
• Desktop lifetime purchases: You may request a full refund within 14 days of purchase.
• App Store purchases: Refunds for App Store transactions are handled by Apple under Apple’s own policies and tooling.
• After 14 days: Refund requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis at our discretion.
To request a refund for a desktop web purchase, email jeff@bravely.dev with your order number or Bravely Account email. Refunds are processed by our billing provider and typically appear within 5–10 business days depending on your payment method.
User Content
You retain ownership of the markdown files, exports, snippets, and other content you create with the App. You are solely responsible for backing up your files, choosing safe export destinations, and verifying that any content you create or export complies with applicable law and the rights of others.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
• Use the App for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to circumvent the license or entitlement checks
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except where applicable law expressly permits it
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the App or any part of it
• Use the App to create or distribute content that infringes the rights of others
Disclaimers
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every operating system version, third-party binary, or hardware configuration.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Bravely Studios LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the desktop license.
Termination
We may revoke your license and terminate your access to Pro features if you violate these Terms, including by sharing a license or attempting to circumvent entitlement checks. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Upon termination, your right to use the Pro features of the App ceases immediately.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or use of the App shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Kansas.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
