Terms for a utility that acts only on user instruction.
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of Tidy Cloud. Tidy Cloud is a utility product. It is designed to help you review and perform actions that you choose in your connected accounts. It is not a fiduciary, advisor, custodian, or independent decision maker. By using the service, you agree to these terms.
Last updated: April 1, 2026
1. Service scope
Tidy Cloud provides software tools to help you filter, review, preview, organize, and perform user-directed cleanup actions across connected services such as Gmail and Google Drive. Features may include summaries, category views, sender filters, preview lists, rule building, schedules, undo paths, and storage-oriented cleanup helpers.
2. Utility-only service
Tidy Cloud is only a utility. It does not provide legal advice, security advice, records-management advice, compliance advice, or personalized professional advice of any kind. It does not guarantee that any action is appropriate for your personal, business, regulatory, archival, tax, legal, or operational needs.
3. Eligibility and authority
You may use Tidy Cloud only if you are legally able to enter into these terms and if you have full authority to connect, review, manage, and act on the accounts and data you submit to the service. If you connect an employer, client, team, family, or shared account, you represent that you are authorized to do so.
4. Authorization to act on your instructions
By using Tidy Cloud and connecting third-party services, you authorize Tidy Cloud to use the scopes, tokens, and permissions you approved to carry out the exact actions you ask it to perform, including actions initiated manually, through saved rules, or through recurring schedules that you enabled.
5. User responsibility for all cleanup decisions
You are solely responsible for every cleanup decision made through the service, including what to keep, what to review, what to archive, what to label, what to move to Trash, what to schedule, and what to run in bulk. Any action taken through Tidy Cloud is treated as your action, performed at your direction and with your authority.
6. Previews, suggestions, and recommendations are informational only
Tidy Cloud may display counts, suggestions, categories, groupings, matches, previews, or recommendations. These are informational tools only. They do not guarantee correctness, completeness, safety, or suitability. You remain responsible for reviewing and validating what you choose to act on.
7. Trash, archive, labels, and provider-side behavior
Tidy Cloud generally tries to use the action path supported by the connected service, which may include moving items to Trash, removing the inbox label, or applying labels. Connected services control their own retention, recovery, indexing, permanent deletion, storage accounting, restoration windows, and lifecycle behavior.
Tidy Cloud does not control and does not guarantee provider-side restore, reversibility, retention, or long-term recoverability.
8. No guarantee of exact matching or perfect outcomes
Search results, category behavior, sender matching, preview counts, and storage views may differ from what a third-party provider shows in its own interface. Results may vary because of API limitations, indexing delays, rate limits, permissions, provider heuristics, content format differences, caching, or changes made by the provider.
9. Scheduled and automated actions
If you enable recurring cleanup or other scheduled behavior, you are responsible for the scope, cadence, and effects of those automations. You should not enable recurring actions unless you understand the rule being applied and accept the resulting risk.
10. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the service for unlawful access or unlawful data handling;
- connect accounts you are not authorized to manage;
- interfere with, disrupt, scrape, probe, or reverse engineer the service improperly;
- attempt to bypass feature controls, rate limits, or account boundaries;
- use the service in a manner that violates third-party terms or applicable law; or
- misrepresent your identity, authority, ownership, or rights to connected data.
11. Third-party services and dependencies
Tidy Cloud depends on third-party providers including Google, hosting providers, payment processors, analytics providers, and infrastructure providers. Tidy Cloud is not responsible for the availability, behavior, security, policy changes, outages, revocations, rate limits, or failures of those third-party services.
12. Payments and donations
If support payments or donations are enabled, they are voluntary and non-refundable to the extent permitted by applicable law, except where a refund is required by law or expressly offered. Donations do not guarantee access, uptime, feature delivery, support levels, roadmap commitments, or commercial rights in the product.
13. Suspension and termination
Tidy Cloud may suspend, limit, or terminate access to the service at any time if reasonably necessary to protect the service, comply with law, respond to abuse, address security concerns, manage operational risk, or discontinue a feature or integration.
14. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidy Cloud is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. This includes implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, availability, compatibility, accuracy, and error-free or uninterrupted operation.
15. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidy Cloud and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages, or for any loss of data, loss of messages, loss of files, loss of records, loss of business, loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, cost of replacement services, or failure to recover content.
This limitation applies to user-directed actions, mistaken filters, category mismatch, sender mismatch, scheduled automations, provider-side deletions, failed restores, quota changes, third-party outages, authentication failures, permission changes, and any mismatch between Tidy Cloud's results and the connected provider's own interface.
16. Assumption of risk
You acknowledge that digital cleanup actions inherently involve risk, including the risk of removing, relocating, hiding, or losing access to content you later decide you wanted to keep. You voluntarily assume those risks when using the service.
17. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tidy Cloud and its operators from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses arising from or relating to your use of the service, your connected accounts, your content, your instructions to the product, your recurring schedules, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
18. No waiver and severability
A failure to enforce any part of these terms is not a waiver. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
19. Changes to these terms
Tidy Cloud may revise these terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after revised terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those revised terms.
