These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and the operator of Summate ("we", "us", "our"). They govern your installation and use of the Summate browser extension for Google Chrome and of the websites and licence services we operate at https://summate.tecyang.com (together, the "Service").
By installing, purchasing or using the Service you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Service. If you use the Service for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf.
Summate is an independent software product operated by an individual developer. Our contact address for support, billing questions and legal notices is me@tecyang.com — the same address shown in the Chrome Web Store listing, on this website, on your purchase receipt and in our Merchant of Record's business details.
Summate is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or any other AI model provider. Summate is also not affiliated with Creem other than Creem acting as our Merchant of Record for payments.
Summate is a Chrome extension that summarises web pages. It runs inside your browser and uses the third-party AI API endpoint and API key that you configure yourself (for example an Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint).
You must be at least 13 years old (or older if your country sets a higher minimum age for digital services) and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service or buy a plan. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you, including any rules of your AI provider.

Prices are in US dollars and exclude any taxes that may be added at checkout. Paid plans are monthly subscriptions that renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel them.
Payments, renewals and receipts are handled by Creem, our Merchant of Record. Creem is the seller of record for your purchase: it processes your payment method, appears on your bank statement, calculates and remits applicable sales tax, VAT or GST, and issues your receipt and licence key by email. We do not receive or store your card or bank details. Creem's own terms and privacy policy also apply to the payment relationship.
After a successful purchase, Creem emails you a licence key. You enter that key in the extension's Settings to unlock your plan; the extension verifies it with our licence server, which confirms the status with Creem.
You can cancel at any time. Use the link in your Creem purchase receipt or confirmation email, or email me@tecyang.com and we will help. Cancellation stops all future renewals and no further charges are made. You keep the paid features until the end of the period you have already paid for; after that, the extension reverts to the Free plan. Your locally saved summaries stay in your browser.

We may suspend or terminate your access, and deactivate your licence key, if we reasonably believe you have breached this section.
You keep all rights you hold in the pages you summarise and in the summaries you create. Page content is sent to the AI provider whose API key you configured, and is handled under that provider's terms and privacy policy — please review them. If you enable Notion export, summaries are written to your own Notion workspace under your Notion account. RSS articles are fetched directly from the publishers you subscribe to. Google (Chrome Web Store), Cloudflare, Creem and your AI provider are independent services outside our control, and their availability and policies are their own responsibility.
The Summate name, its branding, the extension code and this website are owned by the operator of Summate and protected by copyright and other laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the extension for its intended purpose while your plan is active. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
We aim to keep the Service available and working, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation: it depends on your browser, your API provider, the Chrome Web Store, Cloudflare and Creem. We may add, change, deprecate or remove features as the product evolves. If a feature you paid for is unavailable for more than 14 consecutive days because of something within our control, contact us and we will provide a pro-rata refund or credit for the affected period.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors, or that AI-generated output will be accurate or suitable for your purpose. You are responsible for how you use the output.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to the Service. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the three months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the country in which the operator of Summate resides, without depriving you of the mandatory consumer protections of the country in which you live. Before starting formal proceedings, please email me@tecyang.com so we can try to resolve the matter informally — most issues are a single email away from being fixed.
We may update these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change, and material changes will be highlighted on this page. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date of an update means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree with an update, stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.
Questions about these Terms, your subscription, a licence key, an activation problem or a refund: me@tecyang.com. Support is provided by email and we aim to reply within 2 business days. For payment, receipt and tax questions you can also contact Creem, our Merchant of Record, at creem.io/contact.
