Terms of Service

Last updated: November 6, 2026

1. Who we are

Safe8bit is a macOS application developed and maintained by Erik Nascimento, a private individual resident in Portugal ("we"). Contact: suporte@safe8bit.com.

2. Purchases through Paddle

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders: it collects the payment, issues the invoice, and handles applicable taxes (such as VAT) as well as payment and refund matters. Paddle's buyer terms apply to the purchase. These Terms govern the use of Safe8bit.

3. Lite and Pro

Safe8bit Lite is free. Safe8bit Pro is an annual subscription that unlocks additional features, described on the home page. The price is the one shown at checkout, with the taxes applicable in your country.

4. Subscription and renewal

The Pro subscription renews automatically every year until you cancel it. You can cancel at any time through the link in the Paddle receipt or by writing to us. When you cancel, Pro remains available until the end of the period already paid for and there are no further charges. With each payment you receive by email a license key valid until the end of that period, with a few days' margin.

5. License to use

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Safe8bit on the Macs you use. A Pro key is intended for one person. You may not resell, publicly share or distribute your key, or circumvent the license mechanism. Safe8bit remains ours; no ownership of the software is transferred to you.

6. Your data and your vault

The vault is encrypted and stays on your Mac (and, if you turn on sync, in your iCloud). We have no access to your secrets or to your master password. You are responsible for keeping your master password and Emergency Kit safe: without them the vault cannot be recovered, not even by us. We recommend regular backups. More details in the Privacy Policy.

7. Acceptable use

You may not use Safe8bit for illegal activities, nor attempt to compromise the security of the software, of our services or of those of third parties.

8. Warranty and liability

We do our best to make Safe8bit secure and reliable but, to the extent permitted by law, it is provided "as is", without warranties beyond those provided for by law. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for Pro in the preceding 12 months. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have as a consumer under Portuguese and European Union law.

9. Refunds

See the Refund Policy.

10. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be indicated on this page with the new date and, where they apply to your subscription, communicated by email before they take effect.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by Portuguese law, without prejudice to the mandatory rules of the country where you reside as a consumer. Talk to us first: suporte@safe8bit.com.
