Terms and Conditions

Plain summary

Use wowMD responsibly, keep your own documents safe, and do not misuse the service. The free Chrome extension and wowMD Pro webapp are provided as focused Markdown reading and reviewing tools. Both are free during beta.

Acceptance

By using the wowMD website, extension, or webapp, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use wowMD.

Products and scope

wowMD includes a free Chrome extension for supported public GitHub Markdown pages, and wowMD Pro, a local-first webapp for local Markdown reading, four-type annotations, an overall review map, cross-version re-anchoring, and four export formats (HTML, Reviewed Markdown for Obsidian, Backup JSON, Ticket JSON). Both are free during beta. Features may change as the product evolves.

License and paid access

wowMD Pro is free during beta. Future paid access, if introduced, will be described on the relevant checkout or product page. Do not share, resell, or abuse license keys or access credentials.

Pricing and promotions

wowMD Pro is free during beta. If paid access is introduced later, exact prices, discounts, taxes, currency, and payment terms will be shown at checkout or on the relevant purchase page. Free beta access does not guarantee that the product will remain free permanently.

Local files and user content

You are responsible for the Markdown files, annotations, notes, reviewed copies, and exports you open or create with wowMD. The app processes documents and annotations locally in your browser using site data storage (IndexedDB). wowMD does not modify your source files or apply suggested replacements. You should keep backups of important files, annotations, and exported content. Clearing your browser's site data, using private browsing, or browser storage eviction may result in data loss.

Export formats

wowMD Pro provides four export formats, all generated locally in your browser: (1) HTML — a self-contained file with structure, highlights, and notes, for sharing annotated reading with people; (2) Reviewed Markdown — a new .md copy with Obsidian-readable review callouts, tags, and properties, without modifying the original file; (3) Backup JSON — raw annotation data for backup or re-import, fully portable under your control; (4) Ticket JSON — a document snapshot, type legend, section context, notes, and suggested replacements packaged as a work order for AI-assisted revision. Exports are your responsibility once you download or share them.

Data storage and loss

wowMD Pro stores annotations, document fingerprints, imported document copies, version history, and preferences in your browser's site data (IndexedDB). This data is local to your browser and is not synced across devices or backed up to a server. Clearing your browser's site data, switching to a different browser or profile, using private/incognito windows, or browser storage pressure eviction may permanently delete your annotations and version history. Export a Backup JSON regularly to protect your work.

Beta period

wowMD Pro is provided free during its beta period. Beta access may include incomplete features, changes without notice, and the possibility of data incompatibility between versions. Free beta access does not guarantee the product will remain free, that features will be preserved, or that beta-era data will be compatible with post-beta releases. We advise exporting Backup JSON copies of your annotations regularly.

Acceptable use

Do not use wowMD to break the law, infringe others' rights, attack or disrupt services, bypass technical limits, reverse engineer paid access controls, or interfere with other users.

Third-party services

wowMD may link to third-party services such as Chrome Web Store, GitHub, payment providers, feedback forms, or video hosts. Those services are governed by their own terms and policies.

Open source components

The wowMD extension may be distributed with open source code or dependencies. Open source licenses continue to apply to those parts. These terms do not remove rights granted by an applicable open source license.

No warranty

wowMD is provided as is and as available. We do not promise that every Markdown file, export, browser, store listing, reader, or device will work perfectly or without interruption.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, wowMD and its maintainers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-profit damages arising from your use of the product.

Changes

We may update these terms when the product, licensing, payment flow, or legal requirements change. The updated terms will be posted on this page with a new update date.
