Coffee Mode - Terms & Conditions

Effective date: 22 July 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to the Coffee Mode application for macOS, together with any related services (collectively, the "Application"), operated by Salvatore Boemia (the "Service Provider"). By downloading or using the Application, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully before using the Application.

License to use the Application

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Service Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Application on a Mac you own or control, for personal or internal business purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Application, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law.

Intellectual property

The Service Provider retains all intellectual property rights in the Application, including its code, design, trademarks, trade names, logos and branding. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use the Service Provider's marks or branding. You agree not to remove, alter or obscure any proprietary notices in or on the Application.

Acceptable use

You agree to use the Application only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms and any applicable workplace, security or organizational policies that apply to you. You are solely responsible for ensuring that keeping your Mac awake is permitted in your context (for example, that it does not breach your employer's security policies), and for configuring the launch-at-login and automation features responsibly. The Application does not provide user accounts and does not host or publish user-generated content. You must not misuse the Application, attempt to extract its source code, or create derivative versions.

Features and automation

The Application lets you configure optional features, including: launching automatically at login; switching between light and dark appearance; choosing a custom menu bar icon; and activating or deactivating automatically based on whether another specified application is open or closed, or according to a schedule you define. These features operate locally on your Mac. The Service Provider does not guarantee that automation rules will trigger with perfect timing in every circumstance (for example, during system sleep, restarts, or changes to macOS behavior outside the Application's control).

In-app purchases

The Application may offer an optional, voluntary tip jar in-app purchase to support the developer. Tips are consumable, are not restorable, and unlock no additional features - they may be purchased as many times as you wish. All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple's terms and refund policies. The Service Provider does not receive or store your payment details.

Update checks

The Application may check Apple's version-lookup service to notify you when an update is available, as described in the Privacy Policy. You should accept updates when offered; if you choose not to, the Service Provider may cease supporting earlier versions and the Application may not function properly.

Eligibility

By using the Application you represent that you are legally permitted to do so in your jurisdiction and that you are at least 16 years of age; if you are younger, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for any purchases.

Availability, updates and connectivity

The Application is provided on an "as available" basis and may be modified, updated or discontinued at any time. Some functions may require an active internet connection; the Service Provider is not responsible if the Application does not function fully due to lack of connectivity. It is your responsibility to keep your device secure and, where relevant, powered.

Charges

The Application is a paid application; its price is clearly communicated to you before purchase on the App Store and processed by Apple. Any additional charges, such as the optional tip jar, will likewise be clearly communicated before purchase.

Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Application is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The Service Provider does not warrant that the Application will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will prevent your Mac from sleeping, or trigger its automation rules, in all circumstances.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including lost profits, data loss or business interruption. The Service Provider retains full liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, and for any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law. The Service Provider's aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid (if any) for the Application in the 12 months preceding the claim, or the minimum amount required under applicable law, whichever is greater. Nothing limits your mandatory consumer rights.

Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and reasonable expenses arising out of your breach of these Terms or your unlawful misuse of the Application. This does not apply to claims arising from the Service Provider's own negligence, breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law.

Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. The Service Provider may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms; where the breach is capable of cure, you will generally have 14 days from notice to remedy it, except where immediate termination is justified by unlawful conduct. Upon termination, your license ends and you must delete all copies of the Application.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Italy, excluding conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise. Disputes will be brought before the courts having jurisdiction under applicable law; nothing limits any right to bring a claim before a court competent under mandatory law.

Digital Services Act

The Application does not host, transmit or store third-party or user-generated content and therefore does not qualify as an intermediary service under Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (the "DSA"). Should this change, applicable DSA obligations would be addressed in an updated version of these Terms.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Service Provider concerning the Application, superseding any prior agreements.

Changes to these Terms

The Service Provider may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms are posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
