Terms of Use

Choose the section for the service or product you use. Website & Services covers hmdia.com, directory listings, purchases, and client services; the other sections explain the relevant software. Product-specific terms and express purchase promises take priority for that product; mandatory legal rights remain protected.

Website & Services

Last updated: October 19, 2026

These Website & Services Terms govern hmdia.com, its business directory, accounts, web design, digital marketing, and related services operated by HMDIA, using the business name HMDIA Design & Marketing in Ontario, Canada (“HMDIA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Product-specific terms in the other tabs apply to the relevant software and its purchase.

Your statutory rights remain protected. Nothing in these Terms excludes consumer, privacy, warranty, cancellation, or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

By accessing or using this website, submitting a listing, creating an account, purchasing services, or otherwise interacting with our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the website.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use this website or purchase our services. By using the website, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

2. Scope of services

Our website may provide one or more of the following:

  • A business directory where users may search, submit, claim, or manage business listings.

  • Web design and development services.

3. Account registration

If the website allows account creation, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account.

You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. We are not responsible for losses caused by unauthorized account use resulting from your failure to secure your credentials.

If you submit or claim a business listing:

  • You represent that you are authorized to act on behalf of the business.

  • You authorize us to review, publish, edit, format, display, or remove the listing as needed to operate the directory.

  • You understand that some listing information may be visible to the public.

  • You are responsible for keeping your listing information current.

We reserve the right to reject, suspend, edit, or remove any listing at our discretion, including listings that are inaccurate, misleading, duplicate, spammy, offensive, or otherwise inconsistent with our standards.

5. User content

You may be able to submit content such as business descriptions, logos, photos, reviews, testimonials, files, messages, or other materials.

By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, display, publish, adapt, distribute, and format that content for the operation, promotion, and improvement of the website and our services.

You confirm that:

  • You own or have permission to use the content.

  • The content does not violate any law or third-party rights.

  • The content is not defamatory, obscene, misleading, fraudulent, or harmful.

We may remove any content at any time if we believe it violates these Terms or could create legal, operational, or reputational risk.

6. Reviews and testimonials

If the website allows reviews, ratings, or testimonials:

  • Reviews must be truthful and based on genuine experience.

  • You may not post fake, incentivized, or deceptive reviews without disclosure.

  • You may not post abusive, discriminatory, threatening, or illegal content.

  • We may moderate, reject, edit, hide, or remove reviews at our discretion.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of user-generated reviews.

7. Prohibited use

You agree not to use the website to:

  • Violate any law or regulation.

  • Upload malware, spam, phishing attempts, or harmful code.

  • Scrape, copy, or harvest data without permission.

  • Impersonate another person or business.

  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information.

  • Interfere with website security or performance.

  • Abuse forms, listings, contact features, or automated systems.

  • Use the website for unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or discriminatory purposes.

  • Infringe intellectual property or privacy rights.

We may suspend or block access to anyone violating these rules.

8. Intellectual property

All content on the website that is not user-submitted, including text, graphics, branding, layout, design, logos, software, and code, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit our website content without our prior written consent, except where allowed by law or an applicable licence. These website-content restrictions do not limit rights granted under the GPL or other open-source licences supplied with our software.

9. Service agreements for web design and marketing

If you purchase web design, development, SEO, advertising, branding, or digital marketing services from us, the following apply:

  • The exact scope of work will be defined in a proposal, invoice, contract, statement of work, or email confirmation.

  • Project timelines are estimates unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.

  • You are responsible for providing content, approvals, access, and materials on time.

  • Delays in feedback or materials may delay delivery.

  • Any work beyond the agreed scope may require additional fees.

  • We are not responsible for the performance, ranking, revenue, or business results of marketing campaigns unless specifically guaranteed in writing.

We may use subcontractors or third-party tools to complete the work.

10. Payments, billing, and refunds

If fees apply, you agree to pay all amounts due on time and in the currency stated on the invoice or checkout page.

Unless otherwise stated in writing:

  • Deposits are non-refundable.

  • Paid service work begins only after payment is received.

  • Late payments may result in project delays, suspension, or termination.

  • You are responsible for any taxes, chargeback fees, processing fees, or bank charges where permitted by law.

Service-project refunds are governed by the relevant agreement and applicable law. Any restriction concerning deposits, completed work, digital deliverables, or used services is subject to an express refund promise made for that purchase. For software purchases, the product-specific refund guarantee takes priority: delivering, downloading, activating, or using the software does not by itself cancel a promised 14-day money-back guarantee. Mandatory cancellation and refund rights always remain available.

11. Third-party services

Our website may link to or integrate with third-party services such as payment processors, analytics platforms, hosting providers, email tools, chat software, maps, booking systems, or advertising networks.

We do not control and are not responsible for third-party websites, tools, products, or services. Your use of third-party services is subject to their own terms and policies.

12. Privacy

Your use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information. If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy regarding personal information, the Privacy Policy will control on that issue.

13. Availability and changes

We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time.

We may update these Terms by publishing a revised version and update date. We will communicate material changes where required and seek acceptance where applicable law requires it. Changes do not retrospectively remove rights or reduce an express promise made for an existing paid purchase without a lawful basis.

14. Disclaimer of warranties

The website and all services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We do not warrant that:

  • The website will be error-free or uninterrupted.

  • Listings or content will be accurate, complete, or current.

  • The website will generate leads, sales, rankings, or profits.

  • Any specific result will be achieved from our services.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities.

Subject to applicable law and any more specific product terms, our total liability for a claim relating to the website or a service is limited to the amount you paid HMDIA for the particular service or access giving rise to that claim. This cap and the exclusions above do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including mandatory consumer remedies. Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud or wilful misconduct, or for gross negligence, death, or personal injury where applicable law prohibits such a limitation.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HMDIA, its owners, employees, contractors, affiliates, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, and fees arising from:

  • Your unlawful use of the website or material breach of these Terms.

  • Your listings, reviews, or uploaded content.

  • Your breach of these Terms.

  • Your violation of any law or third-party right.

17. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the website, listings, account, or services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, abused the website, failed to pay amounts due, or posed a risk to us or others.

Upon termination, certain provisions of these Terms will continue to apply, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.

18. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the website will be subject to the courts located in Ontario, unless another forum is required by applicable law.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

20. Entire agreement

These Terms, the applicable product terms, our Privacy Policy, and any agreed proposal, statement of work, or order terms govern the relevant transaction. An expressly agreed written contract and the promises made for the purchase control its commercial scope; product-specific terms control that product over these general website terms. The applicable open-source licence controls rights in software code. The Privacy Policy controls personal-information handling. No order of precedence overrides non-waivable rights.

21. Contact us

If you have questions about these Terms, contact us at:

HMDIA Login & Registration and Add-ons

Last updated: October 19, 2026

These Terms govern your use of the HMDIA Login & Registration WordPress plugin (“Core”), the separately installed HMDIA Login & Registration Pro add-on (“Pro”), related HMDIA add-ons, and any license, update, or support services HMDIA provides for them (together, the “Products”). They supplement HMDIA’s general Terms and Conditions. These product terms control the Products over the general website terms, while the software licence controls your rights in the code. Express promises made for your purchase and non-waivable rights remain protected.

These Terms are for people who install, administer, or purchase the Products. Visitors and registered users of an independently operated website using the Products are subject to that website owner’s terms and privacy policy, not these Product Terms merely because the owner installed the Products.

1. Software license

Core and Pro are distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later (GPLv2 or later). That license governs your rights to use, study, modify, and redistribute the software under its conditions. Nothing in these Terms takes away rights granted by the GPL. Keep applicable copyright, license, and attribution notices when redistributing the software.

Payment for Pro concerns the official HMDIA license, activation, updates, support, and other services or entitlements stated at purchase. The GPL software license and eligibility for HMDIA’s hosted services are separate. Distribution of a copy of the code does not transfer a purchaser’s license key or confer access to that purchaser’s HMDIA account, support, or update service. HMDIA’s name and logos are not licensed as trademarks merely because the code is available under the GPL.

2. Core, Pro, and add-ons

Core can be used without Pro. Pro is a separate add-on that requires a compatible Core installation. Other HMDIA add-ons may have their own requirements and may be included in a particular Pro offer only if that offer says so. Features, compatibility information, and any included services are described on the applicable product or checkout page and in the order confirmation.

You are responsible for checking that your WordPress, PHP, hosting, email, and connected services meet the stated requirements. Before installing an update on a live website, keep a usable backup and check important registration, sign-in, email, and account flows in your environment.

3. Pro purchases and license keys

If you purchase Pro, the plan displayed at checkout and in your order confirmation determines the price, billing term, number of permitted site activations for HMDIA services, and any included update or support period. Keep your license key and purchasing account secure. You may activate and manage it within the limits of your purchased plan. Contact HMDIA if you need help moving an activation to another website.

Official Pro updates and support require the applicable entitlement. If that entitlement ends, access to those HMDIA services may end; your GPL rights in a copy you already received remain. A license key may be deactivated or access to HMDIA’s license service suspended for nonpayment, fraudulent purchases, or misuse of the service, subject to applicable law. This does not revoke the GPL license to software copies you lawfully received.

Annual plans and cancellation

Our Annual plans are recurring yearly subscriptions. They renew automatically at the disclosed renewal price until cancelled. You can manage the subscription in your HMDIA customer account, or contact us for help before the next renewal. Cancellation stops future renewal charges and ordinarily leaves the entitlement active until the paid period ends; it does not by itself request a refund. The 14-day refund guarantee below, including its application to yearly renewals, remains available. Any material renewal-price change will be disclosed before it takes effect, with the opportunity to cancel.

Lifetime plans

A Lifetime plan is paid once and has no scheduled subscription renewal or time-based expiry of the purchased entitlement. It covers official updates and support made available for the purchased product under the offer you accepted and its site-activation limit. It is not a guarantee that every future product, platform, third-party integration, or development project will exist indefinitely. We will honour any promise about included current or future add-ons made for your purchase. A later wording change does not reduce an existing paid entitlement.

When a Pro entitlement ends

Expiry, refund, or deactivation can stop official updates, support, Pro-only modules, and add-on functions that check the Pro entitlement. These can include Google Sign-In, strong-authentication options, advanced account/session features, and entitled add-ons. Free Core functions remain available; expiry alone does not delete existing WordPress accounts, settings, or stored data. Website owners should retain an available sign-in method and review their configuration before allowing Pro access to lapse. The GPL rights in code already received continue.

4. Prices, renewal, cancellation, and 14-day refunds

Prices, currency, taxes, billing frequency, any automatic renewal, and cancellation instructions are shown at checkout and in your order confirmation. Optional outside services, such as SMS delivery through Twilio, may charge their own fees.

14-day money-back guarantee: If you are not satisfied with HMDIA Login & Registration Pro, contact us within 14 calendar days after a Pro plan payment for a full refund of the amount HMDIA charged for that payment. This applies to Yearly and Lifetime plans, including Yearly renewals. We return the refund to the original payment method; your payment provider controls how long the refund takes to appear. Charges paid to third-party services are separate and are not covered by this guarantee. Your rights under applicable law remain in place.

If a payment is refunded, the Pro license entitlement, updates, and support associated with that payment end. Your GPL rights in software copies already received remain. To request a refund or ask a billing question, use HMDIA’s contact page and provide your order details without sending your password or complete payment-card information.

5. Your website and its users

You control the settings, registration fields, account roles, access rules, messages, submitted files, and services enabled on your website. You are responsible for administering WordPress users, configuring reasonable security and backups, publishing accurate terms and privacy notices for your visitors, obtaining any required consents, and complying with laws that apply to your website. Do not use the Products to create unauthorized accounts, send spam, collect information you have no right to collect, or interfere with another website.

HMDIA does not operate or control an independent customer website simply because the Products are installed there. The Products support account management and security, but no plugin can guarantee that a website will be free from unauthorized access, spam, delivery failures, or data loss.

6. External services and privacy

Optional Google Sign-In, Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, Twilio, hosting, email, and other services have their own terms, prices, and privacy practices. You are responsible for the accounts, credentials, configuration, and disclosures needed when you enable them. Pro contacts HMDIA for license and update services. See HMDIA’s Privacy Policy for information HMDIA receives directly and your website’s own privacy policy for information it collects from visitors. The Login & Registration section of that Privacy Policy describes Google Sign-In and the Traffic & IP Security, Post Submission, and WooCommerce Checkout Verification add-ons. Enabling checkout verification confirms access to the supplied email address or phone number; it is not proof of legal identity or a guarantee against payment fraud.

7. Updates, support, and availability

HMDIA may release fixes, security improvements, compatibility changes, and new features. The timing and scope of future releases are not guaranteed unless expressly included in your purchase. Support availability and any response commitments are those stated for your plan. We may temporarily interrupt HMDIA-hosted license and update services for maintenance, security, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Report a suspected security issue privately through HMDIA’s contact page with enough information for us to investigate. Do not include customer passwords, secret keys, or unnecessary personal information in a support request.

8. Warranties and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the Products and HMDIA-hosted services are provided without a guarantee of uninterrupted operation, compatibility with every theme or plugin, error-free email or SMS delivery, or a particular security or business outcome. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or remedy that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

To the extent permitted by law, HMDIA is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the Products or HMDIA-hosted services. Any limitations in HMDIA’s general Terms and Conditions apply only insofar as they are lawful and do not restrict the rights granted by the GPL or non-excludable consumer rights.

9. Changes and governing law

HMDIA may update these Terms by posting a revised version and update date. Changes do not retroactively remove GPL rights or alter a paid term already promised in your order without a lawful basis. These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada, subject to any mandatory protections or forum rights that apply where you live.

If you have questions about these Terms, contact HMDIA.

HMDIA Note

Effective date: August 20, 2026
Last updated: October 19, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) form a legal agreement between you and HMDIA (“HMDIA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located in Ontario, Canada, concerning HMDIA Note.

“HMDIA Note” or the “Extension” includes the free and Premium versions of the HMDIA Note browser extension for Chrome, Chromium-based browsers, and Firefox, together with related updates, documentation, licensing services, and support.

By installing, accessing, purchasing, activating, or using HMDIA Note, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Extension. If it is already installed, discontinue use and uninstall it after exporting any information you wish to retain.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old and legally permitted to use HMDIA Note.

If you are below the age of majority where you live, your parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms on your behalf.

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to purchase Premium. Purchases must be made by an adult or an authorized representative of a business.

If you use HMDIA Note for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. In that case, “you” includes the organization.

2. Description of HMDIA Note

HMDIA Note is a general-purpose browser note-taking tool that may provide:

  • Global, Domain, and Page notes;

  • Rich-text formatting, links, and checklists;

  • Tags, search, filters, archive, Trash, and sticky notes;

  • Reminders and browser or operating-system notifications;

  • Protected notes;

  • Plaintext and password-encrypted backup exports;

  • Popup, movable-window, side-panel, or sidebar interfaces;

  • A screen colour picker;

  • Premium appearance and organization features;

  • Premium-license activation and validation; and

  • Optional encrypted Google Drive synchronization.

Available features may vary by browser, browser version, operating system, device, license plan, region, or extension version.

HMDIA Note is not a cloud-storage, archival-storage, guaranteed-backup, password-management, emergency-alert, or professional-record service.

3. Licence to use the Extension

Subject to these Terms, HMDIA grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to install and use HMDIA Note for lawful personal or internal business purposes.

This licence does not transfer ownership of HMDIA Note or any HMDIA intellectual property.

Except where applicable law expressly permits otherwise, you may not:

  • Copy, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Extension;

  • Share, resell, publish, or distribute a Premium licence key;

  • Circumvent Premium restrictions, licence validation, device limits, or security controls;

  • Modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the Extension’s source code;

  • Remove copyright, trademark, licence, or ownership notices;

  • Create a competing or derivative product using protected HMDIA code, designs, or assets;

  • Use automated systems to abuse HMDIA’s licensing service;

  • Falsely represent an installation, device, product, purchase, or licence status; or

  • Use HMDIA Note in a manner that damages, disrupts, overloads, or compromises HMDIA, Google, a browser platform, a website, or another person.

Restrictions do not apply where they are prohibited by law or to third-party components governed by separate open-source licences.

4. Free and Premium features

HMDIA Note may include free and Premium features.

Free features may be added, changed, limited, or discontinued without compensation, subject to applicable law.

Premium features require a valid licence assigned to the correct HMDIA Note product and plan. Premium access may depend on:

  • Successful licence activation;

  • Periodic online licence validation;

  • Continued payment where the plan renews;

  • Compliance with the permitted device or installation limit;

  • Continued availability of the licensing service; and

  • Compliance with these Terms.

An internet connection may periodically be required to validate Premium access. HMDIA may provide a temporary offline grace period but does not guarantee that Premium features will remain available indefinitely without validation.

If a licence expires, is paused, refunded, charged back, deactivated, disabled, used beyond its permitted limit, or determined to be invalid, Premium functionality may be restricted or suspended.

Your locally stored notes generally remain in your browser when Premium becomes inactive, but Premium-dependent features—including Google Drive synchronization—may stop operating.

5. Licence keys and installation limits

A Premium licence key is confidential and may be used only by the purchaser or organization entitled to it.

Each browser installation or browser profile may be treated as a separate device for licence-limit purposes. Reinstalling the Extension, clearing its storage, creating a new browser profile, or changing devices may create a new installation identity.

You are responsible for deactivating Premium before uninstalling HMDIA Note, clearing extension storage, replacing a device, or deleting a browser profile if you want the activation slot released.

Uninstalling the Extension alone may not release a licence slot. HMDIA may assist with legitimate activation issues after verifying ownership, but assistance is not guaranteed where activation limits resulted from licence sharing, abuse, repeated resets, or a failure to deactivate.

HMDIA may suspend or revoke a licence reasonably believed to be:

  • Stolen, copied, leaked, resold, or publicly distributed;

  • Purchased fraudulently;

  • Used beyond its permitted plan or device limit;

  • Associated with a reversed or disputed payment;

  • Used to attack or abuse HMDIA systems; or

  • Otherwise used in violation of these Terms.

6. Purchases, plans, and billing

Prices, currency, billing frequency, licence duration, device limits, included features, and applicable taxes are presented at checkout or in the applicable order confirmation.

You agree to provide accurate billing information and pay all disclosed charges.

A licence may be sold as:

  • A one-time purchase;

  • A fixed-term licence;

  • A recurring subscription;

  • A lifetime licence; or

  • A promotional or marketplace entitlement.

The description displayed at the time of purchase controls the commercial terms of that order.

Recurring plans

If checkout identifies a plan as automatically renewing, you authorize the disclosed recurring charge until cancellation.

You may cancel future renewals through your HMDIA customer account or by contacting us before the next renewal. Unless applicable law or the checkout terms provide otherwise:

  • Cancellation stops future renewal charges;

  • Access continues until the end of the paid billing period; and

  • Unused portions of a billing period are not prorated or refunded.

Lifetime licences

If a plan is expressly described as “lifetime,” it means access for the supported commercial lifetime of HMDIA Note under that plan—not the purchaser’s natural lifetime and not a guarantee of perpetual development, compatibility, support, third-party integrations, or availability.

A lifetime licence remains subject to these Terms, reasonable anti-abuse controls, device limits, technical compatibility, and HMDIA Note’s continued operation.

Taxes and currency

The checkout shows the charge currency, applicable taxes, and any fee HMDIA charges before payment. Your bank or payment provider may separately charge currency-conversion or bank fees. HMDIA does not add an undisclosed processing fee after purchase.

7. Refunds and payment disputes

14-day money-back guarantee. Paid HMDIA Note plans purchased directly from HMDIA include the advertised full, no-questions-asked refund when you contact us within 14 calendar days of purchasing the plan. This applies to Annual and Lifetime purchases. Downloading, activating, or ordinarily using the Extension does not remove this guarantee. Contact [email protected] or use our contact page with your order details. Do not send passwords or full payment-card information.

The guarantee takes priority over the no-proration wording for ordinary subscription cancellation. Any refund guarantee expressly offered for a renewal also applies to that renewal. Refunds are returned to the original payment method; the provider controls when the credit appears. Charges paid directly to outside providers are separate.

Marketplace or promotional purchases follow the refund promise made for that transaction, including any more favourable marketplace guarantee. After an applicable guarantee period, refunds may be declined unless otherwise promised or required by law. Nothing limits mandatory consumer rights or the ability to raise a legitimate payment dispute. We may temporarily suspend the associated paid entitlement while a payment dispute is investigated.

Refunding a purchase ends the Premium entitlement associated with it. Local notes are not deleted by a refund, but Premium functions, including Google Drive synchronization, may become unavailable.

8. Third-party promotions and marketplaces

Purchases or redemption codes obtained through AppSumo or another marketplace, reseller, promotion, or partner may also be subject to that third party’s terms.

A promotional code:

  • May be redeemed only once;

  • Must be obtained lawfully;

  • Applies only to the specified product and tier;

  • Has no cash value unless required by law;

  • May not be sold or transferred unless expressly permitted; and

  • May be rejected or revoked if duplicated, refunded, charged back, obtained through fraud, or used contrary to the promotion.

Where a third-party term conflicts with these Terms, the third-party term controls only the specific purchase or promotion it governs. These Terms continue to govern use of HMDIA Note.

9. Your notes and content

You retain ownership of the notes and content you create in HMDIA Note.

HMDIA does not claim ownership of locally stored notes or encrypted Google Drive synchronization data.

You are solely responsible for:

  • The information you create, store, import, export, or synchronize;

  • Having all rights and permissions required to use that information;

  • The legality, accuracy, and appropriateness of your content;

  • Complying with privacy, confidentiality, employment, professional, and record-keeping obligations;

  • Obtaining consent before storing another person’s personal information; and

  • Avoiding content that infringes intellectual-property, privacy, contractual, or other rights.

You must not use HMDIA Note to store or facilitate malware, unlawful material, stolen information, harassment, threats, fraud, exploitation, or content whose possession would violate applicable law.

Because HMDIA does not receive or review your ordinary note content, HMDIA cannot monitor, recover, moderate, verify, or remove it from your browser or Google Drive on your behalf.

If you voluntarily send content to HMDIA support, you grant HMDIA a limited permission to access, reproduce, and use that specific material only as reasonably necessary to investigate and respond to your request.

10. Sensitive and regulated information

HMDIA Note is a general-purpose productivity tool. It is not designed or certified for storing:

  • Passwords or authentication secrets;

  • Payment-card or banking credentials;

  • Protected medical or health records;

  • Government-classified information;

  • Highly sensitive legal or privileged records;

  • Regulated financial records;

  • Critical infrastructure information;

  • Emergency-response instructions; or

  • Information requiring specialized regulatory certification.

You assume responsibility for determining whether HMDIA Note is suitable for the sensitivity and legal requirements of your information.

Do not use HMDIA Note as the sole location for irreplaceable, regulated, mission-critical, or time-sensitive information.

11. Website contexts and URLs

Domain and Page notes may store website domains or full page URLs. URLs can contain paths, query parameters, document names, local file paths, identifiers, or confidential tokens.

You are responsible for reviewing a URL before associating it with a note. Do not create Page notes on URLs containing passwords, session tokens, private access links, or other secrets.

Password-protecting a note encrypts its title, body, and tags, but may not encrypt its associated URL, scope, identifiers, timestamps, or other local metadata.

12. Passwords and encryption

HMDIA Note may allow you to create passwords for protected notes, encrypted backups, and Google Drive synchronization.

You acknowledge that:

  • HMDIA does not receive or store these passwords;

  • HMDIA cannot reset or recover them;

  • Forgotten passwords may make protected information permanently inaccessible;

  • Encryption does not guarantee absolute security;

  • Ordinary unprotected notes are not encrypted in local extension storage;

  • Some metadata remains unencrypted;

  • Autosaved-draft keys may be stored in the same browser profile as the draft;

  • A locally unlocked Google Drive synchronization key is stored on connected browsers to permit automatic synchronization; and

  • Anyone with sufficient access to your device, browser profile, Google account, or unlocked keys may be able to access information.

You are solely responsible for selecting strong passwords, storing them securely, protecting connected devices, and preventing unauthorized access.

Do not send passwords, OAuth tokens, or complete licence keys to HMDIA support.

13. Backups and risk of data loss

HMDIA Note is not a guaranteed backup or archival service.

You are responsible for creating, testing, protecting, and maintaining independent backups of information you cannot afford to lose.

You acknowledge that:

  • Local extension data may be lost when the Extension is uninstalled;

  • Clearing browser data or extension storage may permanently remove information;

  • Browser resets, profile corruption, device failure, malware, operating-system changes, or browser updates may cause data loss;

  • Deleting a note first moves it to Trash rather than immediately erasing it;

  • Permanently deleted notes may leave content-free synchronization markers;

  • Plaintext exports can expose all included note content;

  • Password-encrypted exports cannot be recovered without the password;

  • Imported backups may merge with or replace existing information;

  • Synchronization is not the same as an independent backup;

  • Deletions, corrupted data, or conflicts may synchronize between devices; and

  • HMDIA does not possess a server-side copy from which your notes can be restored.

You should export regular backups and verify that they can be accessed before uninstalling, clearing storage, changing devices, or making significant changes.

14. Reminders and notifications

HMDIA Note reminders depend on the browser, operating system, device state, time-zone settings, notification permissions, background processing, battery policies, and other conditions outside HMDIA’s control.

HMDIA does not guarantee that a reminder will be delivered, displayed, delivered on time, or remain visible.

Do not rely on HMDIA Note for medical doses, legal deadlines, financial obligations, emergencies, safety-critical events, or any matter where a missed notification could cause harm.

Notification previews may expose note titles or content on a screen or lock screen. You are responsible for choosing appropriate notification settings. Protected-note notifications remain generic, but no notification system is guaranteed to be private.

15. Google Drive synchronization

Google Drive synchronization is optional and requires:

  • A valid Premium licence;

  • A compatible browser;

  • A Google account;

  • Google authorization;

  • A functioning internet connection; and

  • Continued availability of the relevant Google APIs.

HMDIA Note requests access only to its private Google Drive application-data folder and encrypts note content before upload.

You acknowledge that:

  • Google is an independent third-party provider;

  • Google may change, limit, suspend, or discontinue its APIs;

  • Google may revoke or expire authorization tokens;

  • Sync may be delayed, interrupted, conflicted, or unavailable;

  • Google may retain operational file metadata;

  • HMDIA cannot access or restore your encrypted Google Drive data;

  • HMDIA cannot recover a forgotten synchronization password;

  • Disconnecting synchronization does not delete existing Drive files;

  • Uninstalling HMDIA Note does not necessarily revoke Google authorization;

  • Uninstalling does not necessarily delete hidden Google Drive data; and

  • A compromised Google account or connected browser may compromise synchronized information.

Before uninstalling or discontinuing use, you should:

  1. Export any backup you require;

  2. Disconnect Google Drive in HMDIA Note;

  3. Remove HMDIA Note from your Google Account’s third-party connections; and

  4. Delete HMDIA Note’s hidden application data through Google Drive settings if you want the synchronized files removed.

Your use of Google services is subject to Google’s own terms and policies.

16. Third-party platforms and services

HMDIA Note relies on or interacts with services not controlled by HMDIA, including:

  • Google Drive and Google OAuth;

  • Chrome, Chromium-based browsers, and Firefox;

  • Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons;

  • Operating-system notification and security systems;

  • Internet, DNS, hosting, and content-delivery providers;

  • FluentCart and payment providers; and

  • Websites with which you associate notes.

HMDIA does not control and is not responsible for the availability, security, policies, decisions, updates, compatibility, content, or conduct of third parties.

A link, integration, or compatibility statement does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee.

Browser and extension-store operators are not responsible for providing HMDIA Note support, maintenance, refunds, warranties, or resolution of claims, except where their own terms expressly provide otherwise.

17. Privacy

Your use of HMDIA Note is subject to the HMDIA Note Privacy Policy:

https://hmdia.com/privacy-policy/#note-extension

The Privacy Policy explains how local notes, website contexts, Google Drive information, licence requests, and related information are handled.

If these Terms conflict with the Privacy Policy concerning the processing of personal information, the Privacy Policy controls for that issue.

18. Updates and compatibility

HMDIA may release updates automatically through a browser store or make an updated package available through another authorized channel.

Updates may:

  • Add, remove, modify, or replace features;

  • Change technical requirements;

  • Correct bugs or security vulnerabilities;

  • Change compatibility with browsers or third-party services;

  • Require updated permissions or consent; or

  • Stop supporting obsolete browsers, systems, or extension versions.

You are responsible for installing supported security updates and maintaining a compatible environment.

HMDIA does not guarantee backward compatibility, perpetual support for any browser or operating system, or continued functionality of obsolete versions.

19. Availability, modification, and discontinuation

HMDIA Note is provided subject to technical, commercial, legal, security, browser-store, and third-party constraints.

HMDIA may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue part or all of the Extension where reasonably necessary, including for:

  • Security or privacy concerns;

  • Legal or policy compliance;

  • Third-party API or browser changes;

  • Store rejection or removal;

  • Technical infeasibility;

  • Abuse or fraud;

  • Maintenance; or

  • Commercial discontinuation.

Where reasonably practicable, HMDIA will provide notice of a material discontinuation. Any refund or remedy for discontinued paid access will be limited to what was expressly promised at purchase or required by applicable law.

HMDIA has no obligation to preserve or host your locally stored notes when the Extension is modified or discontinued.

20. Support

HMDIA may provide documentation, updates, or email support according to the applicable licence plan.

Unless a separate written service-level agreement states otherwise:

  • Support response times are estimates;

  • Support is not guaranteed to resolve every issue;

  • Support does not include data recovery or password recovery;

  • Support may require a supported extension and browser version;

  • HMDIA may decline requests involving unsupported modifications, unlawful use, licence abuse, or third-party failures; and

  • HMDIA is not required to access user content.

You should remove sensitive or unrelated information before sending screenshots, files, or diagnostic details to support.

21. Feedback

If you voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback, you grant HMDIA a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, commercialize, and incorporate that feedback without payment or attribution.

This section does not transfer ownership of your private note content.

22. Intellectual property

HMDIA Note, including its code, designs, interfaces, branding, graphics, documentation, logos, and original content, is owned by or licensed to HMDIA and is protected by intellectual-property laws.

“HMDIA,” “HMDIA Note,” and related branding may not be used without written permission.

Third-party software and services remain the property of their respective owners and may be governed by separate terms or licences.

23. Suspension and termination

You may terminate these Terms at any time by discontinuing use and uninstalling HMDIA Note.

HMDIA may suspend or terminate Premium access if reasonably necessary because of:

  • A material breach of these Terms;

  • Licence theft, sharing, circumvention, or abuse;

  • Fraud or unauthorized payment activity;

  • Non-payment, refund, reversal, or chargeback;

  • Excessive or harmful automated requests;

  • A security threat;

  • A legal requirement;

  • A browser-store or platform requirement; or

  • Discontinuation of HMDIA Note.

Where practical and legally appropriate, HMDIA may provide notice or an opportunity to correct the issue.

Before uninstalling, you are responsible for exporting backups, deactivating Premium, disconnecting Google Drive, revoking Google authorization, and deleting hidden Google Drive data if desired.

Termination does not automatically delete information held by third parties or release an activation slot if you did not complete the required deactivation process.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, payment obligations, disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnification, and dispute provisions—will survive.

24. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HMDIA NOTE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.

HMDIA DISCLAIMS, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, DURABILITY, AND SECURITY.

HMDIA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT:

  • THE EXTENSION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY SYSTEM;

  • DEFECTS OR DATA CORRUPTION WILL BE CORRECTED;

  • NOTES, REMINDERS, BACKUPS, PASSWORDS, OR SYNCHRONIZED INFORMATION WILL BE RECOVERABLE;

  • REMINDERS WILL BE DELIVERED OR DELIVERED ON TIME;

  • GOOGLE DRIVE SYNCHRONIZATION WILL ALWAYS SUCCEED;

  • ENCRYPTION WILL PREVENT EVERY FORM OF UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS;

  • PREMIUM FEATURES WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE WITHOUT PERIODIC VALIDATION;

  • THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE;

  • HMDIA NOTE WILL MEET PROFESSIONAL, REGULATORY, ARCHIVAL, OR BUSINESS-CONTINUITY REQUIREMENTS; OR

  • ANY PARTICULAR RESULT WILL BE ACHIEVED.

No advice or information from HMDIA creates a warranty unless expressly stated in a signed written agreement.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, exclusions apply only to the extent legally permitted.

25. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HMDIA AND ITS OWNERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, AGGRAVATED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

THIS EXCLUSION INCLUDES LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, NOTES, BACKUPS, PASSWORDS, ENCRYPTION KEYS, REVENUE, PROFITS, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OPPORTUNITIES, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, EVEN IF HMDIA WAS ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGE WAS POSSIBLE.

HMDIA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM:

  • Forgotten or unavailable passwords;

  • Failure to create or test backups;

  • Uninstallation, browser reset, storage clearing, or device failure;

  • Missed, delayed, or hidden reminders;

  • Google Drive conflicts, outages, authorization failures, or data deletion;

  • Browser, operating-system, store, hosting, internet, or third-party failures;

  • A compromised device, browser profile, Google account, licence key, or local encryption key;

  • Information placed in a note or contextual URL by you;

  • Notification previews selected by you;

  • Use of HMDIA Note for regulated, sensitive, emergency, or mission-critical purposes;

  • Unsupported modifications or obsolete versions;

  • Suspension resulting from payment disputes, licence abuse, or a breach of these Terms; or

  • Events outside HMDIA’s reasonable control.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HMDIA’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO HMDIA NOTE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

  1. THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO HMDIA FOR HMDIA NOTE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR

  2. CAD $50.

Multiple claims do not increase this limit.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory asserted, but do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability arising from fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, or death or personal injury where applicable law prohibits exclusion.

26. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HMDIA and its owners, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from:

  • Your unlawful or unauthorized use of HMDIA Note;

  • Information or content you store, import, export, synchronize, or submit;

  • Your violation of another person’s privacy, confidentiality, intellectual-property, or contractual rights;

  • Your breach of these Terms;

  • Licence sharing, resale, circumvention, or misuse;

  • Your violation of applicable law; or

  • Your intentional misconduct.

HMDIA will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim and may control its defence and settlement. You must reasonably cooperate.

This section does not require you to indemnify HMDIA for HMDIA’s own unlawful conduct, gross negligence, or other liability that cannot legally be shifted to you. Consumer indemnity obligations apply only where legally permitted.

27. Force majeure

HMDIA is not responsible for delay, interruption, or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including internet or power failures, cyberattacks, natural disasters, labour disputes, government actions, war, civil disturbance, epidemics, third-party outages, browser-platform changes, extension-store decisions, or Google API changes.

28. Governing law and courts

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Subject to non-waivable consumer rights, the courts located in Ontario, Canada will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or HMDIA Note.

If you are a consumer, this section does not deprive you of mandatory protections or forums available under the laws of your place of residence.

For business users only, any claim must be commenced within one year after the claim arose, unless a longer period is required by applicable law.

29. Changes to these Terms

HMDIA may update these Terms to reflect changes in HMDIA Note, pricing models, laws, policies, security requirements, or third-party services.

The updated version will display a new “Last updated” date.

Material changes will be communicated through the Extension, website, store listing, email, checkout, or another reasonable method. Where legally required, HMDIA will request affirmative acceptance.

Changes do not apply retroactively to disputes that arose before the updated Terms became effective.

If you disagree with updated Terms, you must discontinue use and cancel any future renewal before the changes become effective.

30. Electronic communications

You agree that HMDIA may provide order confirmations, licence notices, security notices, support responses, renewal notices, and legal communications electronically using the email address associated with your purchase or account.

Marketing communications require any consent mandated by applicable law and may be unsubscribed from separately. Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent essential transactional or security messages.

31. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or a Premium licence without HMDIA’s written consent.

HMDIA may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, financing, or sale of all or part of its business, subject to applicable law.

32. Severability

If any provision is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it will be limited or modified only to the minimum extent necessary. The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

33. No waiver

A failure or delay by HMDIA in enforcing a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.

34. Entire agreement and order of precedence

These Terms, the HMDIA Note Privacy Policy, and the applicable checkout, order confirmation, promotion, or written licence agreement constitute the entire agreement regarding HMDIA Note.

If there is a conflict:

  1. A signed written agreement controls;

  2. The applicable checkout or order terms control for pricing, duration, renewal, device limits, and refund promises;

  3. The Privacy Policy controls for personal-information handling; and

  4. These Terms control for all other matters.

35. Headings and interpretation

Headings are for convenience only.

“Including” means “including without limitation.”

These Terms will not be interpreted against either party merely because that party drafted them.

Any translated version is provided for convenience. The English version controls unless applicable law requires otherwise.

HMDIA Admin Menu & Access Manager

Last updated: October 19, 2026

These terms apply to HMDIA Admin Menu & Access Manager and its official licensing, update, and support services. They supplement the Website & Services Terms and control this product if the general wording differs. Purchase promises and mandatory legal rights remain protected.

1. Software licence and official services

The plugin is distributed under GNU GPL version 2 or later. The GPL governs your rights to use, study, modify, and redistribute its code. Buying a plan provides the official HMDIA activation, updates, and support entitlement described at purchase; it does not replace or restrict GPL rights. Redistributing code does not transfer a private licence key, customer account, or support entitlement. HMDIA trademarks remain separately protected.

2. Site activations and lifetime plans

The plan selected at checkout specifies one site, five sites, or unlimited sites for HMDIA licensing and update services. Keep the key private and use it within that plan. These activation limits concern HMDIA services, not the GPL permission to use the code. Contact us when you need help moving an activation.

Current Lifetime plans are one-time purchases without recurring renewal charges or a scheduled time-based expiry of the purchased entitlement. They include official updates and support made available for this product under the purchased offer. They do not guarantee indefinite development of every platform or compatibility with every third-party plugin. We will honour the terms promised when you purchased.

A valid entitlement is needed for private HMDIA updates and support. Existing visibility rules and settings continue working when the commercial licence is inactive. Refund, non-payment, or misuse of HMDIA services may end the associated service entitlement, subject to applicable law; GPL rights in lawfully received copies remain.

3. Price, payment, and refunds

Your checkout and order confirmation show the price, currency, taxes, and purchased plan. Paid plans purchased directly from HMDIA include the advertised 14-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. Contact us within 14 calendar days of purchasing the plan for a full refund of the amount HMDIA charged. Installation, activation, and ordinary use do not cancel the guarantee.

Use our contact page or email [email protected] with your order details. Refunds go to the original payment method; the provider determines when they appear. A refund ends the related HMDIA update and support entitlement. Marketplace guarantees and mandatory consumer rights remain available where applicable.

4. Administration and access responsibilities

The plugin helps an authorised website administrator configure menu and toolbar visibility, hidden plugin entries, labels, order, and access-permission rules. Hiding a menu or plugin entry alone does not deactivate a plugin, remove its code, or replace WordPress permissions and the target plugin’s own security checks. A designation called Super Admin in this plugin controls its management settings; it does not create WordPress Multisite super-administrator status.

You are responsible for granting only appropriate permissions, keeping backups, retaining a recovery administrator account, and testing rules with the affected roles and users before deployment. Only administer sites you are authorised to manage. Incorrect permissions can expose administrative functions or prevent intended access.

5. Updates, support, and privacy

Official updates require a current entitlement and a compatible WordPress/PHP environment. Support covers the product according to the purchased offer and does not guarantee a specific resolution time unless separately agreed. See the Admin Menu & Access Manager privacy section for local settings, exports, licensing requests, and deletion information.

6. Warranties, liability, and changes

To the extent permitted by law, the plugin is provided without a guarantee of error-free operation, compatibility with every environment, or a particular security or business result. The Website & Services Terms’ lawful liability provisions apply, but no exclusion removes mandatory consumer remedies or GPL rights. Material changes will be communicated where required and do not retrospectively reduce an existing paid promise without a lawful basis.

Ontario law and applicable Canadian federal law govern, subject to mandatory rights and forums available where you live. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
