Terms of Use

Last updated: July 27, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of Canopy, a Safari extension for macOS and iOS, together with its companion application and this website (the "Software"), made available by the developer of Canopy ("we", "us", "our"). By installing or using the Software you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use it.

1. What Canopy Is

Canopy is a bookmarking and tab-management utility. It stores a set of links you choose on your own device, and optionally synchronises them between your own devices using your personal iCloud account.

There is no Canopy account, no Canopy server, and no service to sign in to. We do not host, receive, process, or store your links. Canopy is software that runs entirely on your devices. Anything described in these Terms as "your data" is data that only you and, where you enable syncing, Apple's iCloud service ever hold.

2. Intended Use

Canopy is a convenience tool for organising links. It is not a backup service, an archival system, a password manager, or a system of record. It is not designed, warranted, or supported for use where the loss, corruption, duplication, or unavailability of stored links could cause financial loss, business disruption, legal exposure, or any other harm.

If a set of links matters to you, its authoritative copy must live somewhere other than Canopy. Using Canopy as the only place a piece of important information exists is entirely at your own risk.

3. Your Data Is Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups. Canopy provides an export function that writes all of your branches, folders and links to a single file, and a corresponding import. We strongly recommend using it regularly. We are not responsible for any data you have not backed up.

Because we never receive your data, we cannot recover it for you. If your links are lost, altered, duplicated, or fail to synchronise for any reason — including a defect in the Software — there is nothing we can restore, and no copy of it exists on our side.

You acknowledge and accept that data loss is a possible outcome of using any software, and that the following are among the ways it can occur:

A defect, regression, or unintended behaviour in the Software
Reinstalling, updating, or removing the Software, or resetting a device
Changes to Safari, macOS, iOS, or Apple's iCloud services
Delays, failures, quota limits, or conflicts in Apple's iCloud synchronisation
Conflicting edits made on two devices, which are resolved automatically and may discard one version
Your own actions, including deletion, or restoring an export over newer data

4. Synchronisation Between Devices

Where you use more than one device, Canopy synchronises through Apple's iCloud key-value storage under your own Apple account. That service is operated by Apple, not by us. We do not control its availability, timing, quotas, or reliability, and synchronisation may be delayed, partial, or unavailable.

Where the same item has been changed on two devices, Canopy resolves the conflict automatically and one version will be kept. This is not a merge of the contents of an individual item, and the version not kept is not recoverable.

5. Third-Party Websites

To display an icon for a site you have pinned, Canopy requests that icon directly from the site, in the same way your browser does when you visit it. We do not control those sites, their content, their availability, or what they log about requests they receive. Pinning a site is not an endorsement of it.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Software to: violate any applicable law; infringe the rights of others; attempt to gain unauthorised access to any system; or interfere with the operation of any website or service. You are responsible for the links you store and for your use of the sites you reach through them.

7. Licence

Subject to these Terms, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Software on devices you own or control. You may not sell, sublicense, or redistribute the Software as your own product. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

8. Availability and Changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Software, or any part of it, at any time and without notice. We are under no obligation to provide updates, fixes, support, or continued compatibility with future versions of Safari or Apple's operating systems.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND AVAILABILITY.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:

The Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of defects
Any defect will be corrected
Your data will be preserved, synchronised, or recoverable
The Software will meet your requirements or remain compatible with future versions of Safari or Apple's operating systems
The Software is suitable for any purpose where loss or unavailability of data could cause harm

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER OF CANOPY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF BOOKMARKS OR LINKS, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SOFTWARE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SOFTWARE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) TEN CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $10).

These limitations apply even if a limited remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for certain damages; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer of Canopy from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Software, your data, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

12. Apple

Where you obtained the Software through the App Store, your use is also subject to Apple's applicable terms. Apple is not a party to these Terms, has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the Software, and is not responsible for it or for any claim relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The courts of British Columbia have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or the Software.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always the one published here, with its date at the top. Continuing to use the Software after a change means you accept the revised Terms.

15. Severability

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