Terms of Use
Terms of Use
The short version: Ago is a tool for searching your own messages on your own devices. Use it for your own messages, keep your devices secure, and know that it comes as is. We can't see your data, so we can't recover it for you.
These terms cover Ago for Mac, Ago for iPhone, and this website (together, “Ago”). Ago is made by Believe Labs, LLC (“we” or “us”). By installing or using Ago, you agree to these terms.
Apple's license terms
If you get Ago for iPhone from the App Store or TestFlight, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to it. These terms add to Apple's. If the two conflict, Apple's agreement wins for the iPhone app. Apple isn't responsible for Ago or for supporting it. That's on us.
Your license
We give you a personal, non-transferable license to use Ago on devices you own or control. Please don't resell it, copy it for others, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows you to.
Your messages, your responsibility
- Ago works on the Messages history already on your Mac. Use it only for messages you're allowed to access, which normally means your own.
- Your messages and the search index stay on your devices. Anyone who can unlock your Mac or iPhone may be able to see them in Ago, the same as in Messages. Keep a passcode on your phone and a password on your Mac.
- Only pair devices you own.
Beta software
The TestFlight version of Ago is a beta. It may have bugs, change without notice, or stop working when the beta ends. Ago only reads your Messages. It never changes or deletes them. But please keep your own backups of anything important anyway.
No warranty
Ago is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise that Ago will find every message, be error-free, or work with every future version of macOS, iOS or Messages.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Believe Labs, LLC isn't liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from your use of Ago. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for Ago, if anything. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.
Privacy
Ago doesn't collect your data. The details are in our Privacy Policy.
Changes
We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the date at the top. If you keep using Ago after a change, the new terms apply.
