These terms cover Slash for Mac, Slash for iPhone, Slash for Chrome, Slash Socket and the slash.tools website (together, "Slash"). Slash is made by Trekend, based in Stockholm, Sweden ("we", "us"). By downloading, installing or using Slash you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use Slash.
Everything you create stays on your devices, in a folder you choose. We never receive it, so we can't read, recover or restore it.
Keep your data folder somewhere that's backed up, like iCloud Drive, a Git repository or Time Machine. If it's lost, we have no copy.
Slash isn't a password manager. Don't keep passwords, credentials or keys in it. Its files are plain and unencrypted.
A licence is a one-time purchase for a set number of Macs, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
When you buy Slash, or during your free trial, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Slash on the number of Macs your tier allows (Solo 1, Pro 2, Studio 6). The licence doesn't expire and includes future updates.
You may not resell or sublicense Slash, share a licence beyond its seats, get around licence or trial checks, or copy, modify or reverse engineer Slash except where the law allows it regardless of these terms.
You sign in to Slash with your GitHub account. You're responsible for keeping that account secure and for what happens under it. Each Mac you sign in on takes a seat of your licence; you can remove Macs from your dashboard at any time.
You own everything you create or store with Slash: notes, tasks, reminders, clips, bookmarks, chats, timers, clipboard and screenshot history, files and anything else ("your data"). We claim no rights to it.
Slash stores your data on your own devices, in the data folder you choose in Settings ▸ Data. We don't host, sync, back up, access or receive your data, and we keep no copy of it. Because of this:
You're also responsible for how you use features that reach outside Slash, such as the built-in browser, Socket servers you publish to your own domains, and Deck and Drop on your local network.
Payments are handled by Polar, which acts as the merchant of record and handles taxes and receipts. Prices are shown at checkout, including any tax that applies.
Every purchase has a 14-day money-back guarantee. Email billing@slash.tools within 14 days of buying and we'll refund you in full; the refunded licence then stops working. This doesn't limit any refund rights you have under the law where you live.
Slash checks slash.tools for updates and can install them for you. We may add, change or remove features over time. We'll try not to remove something you rely on without good reason.
Don't use Slash, Socket or slash.tools to break the law, infringe others' rights, distribute malware, attack or overload other systems, or interfere with Slash or its services.
Slash works alongside services we don't control, such as GitHub, Polar, cloud drives, websites you open in the browser, and the DNS providers you connect to Socket. Their own terms apply, and we aren't responsible for them.
We work hard to make Slash reliable, but it's provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including that Slash will be uninterrupted or error-free, that it will be fit for a particular purpose, or that your data won't be lost or damaged.
To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, profits or business, arising from your use of Slash, even if we were told it could happen. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for Slash in the 12 months before the claim.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or your statutory rights as a consumer.
You can stop using Slash at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms. Your data stays on your devices either way.
We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top, and tell you in the app or by email before an important change takes effect. If you keep using Slash after that, the new terms apply.
These terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, and disputes go to the courts of Stockholm. If you're a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in, and you can bring a claim in its courts.
If you're a consumer in Sweden, you can also take a dispute to the National Board for Consumer Disputes (Allmänna reklamationsnämnden, ARN). Consumers elsewhere in the EU can contact their national consumer body or the European Consumer Centre in their country.
