By installing and using GravesBook, you agree to the following terms.

The software

GravesBook is provided by GravesWare, LLC (“GravesWare”, “we”, “us”). GravesBook is a local, single-user personal chequebook and register application. It is provided to you as-is.

No warranty

GravesBook is provided “AS IS,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. GravesWare, LLC does not warrant that GravesBook will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that it will meet your requirements. You use GravesBook at your own risk.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will GravesWare, LLC be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or revenue, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, GravesBook — including, without limitation, loss of financial records or transaction history — even if GravesWare, LLC has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Your data is your responsibility

GravesBook stores all of your data locally, in a single encrypted database file, on your own computer. GravesWare, LLC does not hold a copy of your data, your passphrase, or any backup of either.

• You are responsible for your own backups. GravesBook includes a backup feature, but whether and how often you use it — and where you keep those backup files (a second drive, external media, cloud storage you control, etc.) — is entirely your responsibility. GravesWare, LLC has no copy of your data to restore for you if your device is lost, damaged, or fails, and no backup exists unless you made one.
• You are responsible for your passphrases. The database passphrase you choose, and the separate recovery passphrase you set for internal backups, are known only to you. GravesWare, LLC does not store them, cannot see them, and cannot reset or recover them. If you lose your database passphrase, the data in that database is permanently unreadable; if you lose your recovery passphrase, internal backups cannot be opened on any machine other than the one that made them. There is no backdoor and no recovery path. This is a direct consequence of real encryption done correctly, and it is your responsibility to keep both passphrases somewhere safe, such as a password manager.
• You are responsible for what you export and import. CSV files exported from the Reports screen are unencrypted; spreadsheets you import are read as-is, and the transactions they create are yours to review (GravesBook flags the ones it could not categorise with confidence).

Third-party components

GravesBook is built using a number of open-source, third-party software components, each under its own permissive licence (MIT, Apache-2.0, or similar). A full list of these components, their versions, and their licences is compiled into the application and shown on the About screen (Third-Party Notices), and is published on the About page of this site.

Changes to this agreement

GravesWare, LLC may update this agreement in future versions of GravesBook. Continued use of GravesBook after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
