Terms of Use for www.jeffoffice.com

Effective November 12, 2026. Published at https://www.jeffoffice.com/terms. These terms are in English only; the Spanish and French pages of the site link to them. If a translation of them is ever provided, the English text governs.

These terms cover your use of the website www.jeffoffice.com (the "site"), run by JeffOffice LLC, a Michigan limited liability company ("we," "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

PLEASE READ SECTION 9. IT REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES TO BE SETTLED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, NOT IN COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, AND WAIVES CLASS ACTIONS. SECTIONS 3 AND 4 DISCLAIM WARRANTIES AND LIMIT OUR LIABILITY.

1. The software is under the GPL

JeffOffice (JeffPub, JeffDeck, JeffWrite, and JeffCrunch) is free software under the GNU General Public License version 3, with the Additional Terms published with it. The license, not these terms, governs your use, copying, and sharing of the software. Its source code is at https://github.com/JeffOffice/jeffoffice. If these terms and the license disagree about the software, the license controls.

2. Downloads

Download links on the site point to GitHub Releases. GitHub runs those downloads, and its own terms and privacy statement apply to them. Each release lists a SHA-256 checksum for every file (SHA256SUMS), so you can check that your copy is the one we published. Download JeffOffice only from www.jeffoffice.com or https://github.com/JeffOffice/jeffoffice/releases; we are not responsible for copies from anywhere else. We try to publish safe, correct files, but we do not promise that every file is free of error or that every link will always work.

3. No warranty

THE SITE AND THE SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, JEFFOFFICE LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SITE AND THE SOFTWARE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM US OR THROUGH THE SITE CREATES ANY WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE'S LICENSE HAS ITS OWN DISCLAIMER IN SECTIONS 15 AND 16 OF THE GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. NOTHING ON THE SITE IS PROFESSIONAL, LEGAL, OR FINANCIAL ADVICE.

4. Limit of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, JEFFOFFICE LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, AUTHORS, AND CONTRIBUTORS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE BARGAIN AND APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS A LIABILITY THAT THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW US TO LIMIT.

5. Trademarks

JeffOffice, JeffPub, JeffDeck, JeffWrite, JeffCrunch, JeffMail, JeffBase, and the JeffOffice logo are trademarks of JeffOffice LLC. The GPL does not give you rights in them. What you may do with them is in the Trademark Policy at https://www.jeffoffice.com/trademarks. Other names on the site belong to their owners and are used only to describe compatibility.

6. Your use of the site

Please do not misuse the site: do not try to break it, overload it, or get around its limits, and do not use it to break the law. You may link to it.

The text, images, screenshots, and design of the site are © JeffOffice LLC, all rights reserved. You may share links to the site and quote short passages with credit. Anything else needs our written permission. This does not limit what the GPL lets you do with the software or its source code.

7. Links to other sites

The site links to GitHub and others. We do not control them and are not responsible for what they say or do.

8. Privacy

The site uses no cookies, no analytics, and no scripts or files from other companies. It remembers your language choice in your own browser. We keep no logs of visits. Cloudflare, which serves the site, receives your IP address and browser in order to deliver each page. The apps' statistics, crash reports, and update checks are described in the Privacy Notice at https://www.jeffoffice.com/privacy.

9. Disputes: arbitration and class-action waiver

(a) Informal first. Before starting arbitration or a court case, write to info at jeffoffice dot com describing the dispute and what you want. We will do the same. If it is not resolved within 60 days, either side may go on.

(b) Arbitration. Any dispute between you and us arising from or relating to the site or these terms will be settled by binding arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before one arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitration takes place in Kent County, Michigan, or by video or written submissions if you prefer, or in the county where you live if you live in the United States and ask for it. We will pay the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees beyond what you would pay to file in court, unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous. The arbitrator decides questions of whether a dispute must be arbitrated.

(c) What is not arbitrated. Either side may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies. Either side may go to court to stop infringement or misuse of its intellectual property. Disputes about the software's license are governed by the license, not this section.

(d) NO CLASS ACTIONS; NO JURY. YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY INDIVIDUALLY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not join claims of different people or award relief for anyone but the individual party. If this paragraph (d) is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim goes to court under section 10, not to arbitration, and the rest of section 9 still applies to other claims.

(e) Where local law gives you more. If you live in a country whose consumer-protection laws give you rights that cannot be waived, including the right to go to your local courts, this section 9 and section 10 do not take those rights away.

10. Governing law and courts

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan and the federal law of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that is not arbitrated under section 9 goes to the state courts in Kent County, Michigan, or the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction. This section does not apply to the software, whose license does not choose a law.

11. General

If a court or arbitrator finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a part is not a waiver of it. These terms, the Privacy Notice, and the Trademark Policy are the whole agreement about the site.

12. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms by posting a new version with a new date. Your use of the site after that means you accept the change. A change to section 9 does not apply to a dispute we already knew of before the change. Changes do not alter the software's license for versions you already have.
