1.4 Scope and Territory

  • This Agreement applies to the legal relationship arising when you use the Service through the MiYu Note official website, mobile applications, desktop clients or other official channels.
  • The Service is currently primarily offered to users in Mainland China. Our operating entity is located in Mainland China. If you access the Service from other regions, you remain bound by the general terms of this Agreement, and the mandatory laws of your jurisdiction shall still prevail.

1.5 Language Versions

  • The Simplified Chinese version of this Agreement is the authoritative version.
  • We currently provide, without limitation, the following languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, German and French. The actual list of supported languages follows the language list in the application.
  • In case of any inconsistency between language versions, the Simplified Chinese version shall prevail.

2. Service Content

2.1 Scope of Service

The Service provides Personal Users with storage, synchronization and management functions for notes and related materials. Specific features are subject to what is actually delivered by the product, and we reserve the right to adjust, improve, suspend or discontinue certain features.

2.2 Service Availability

  • The Service is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. We do not warrant that the Service will be continuously available, uninterrupted or error-free.
  • We may suspend part or all of the Service within a reasonable period for maintenance, upgrades, failures or other reasons, and will endeavour to give advance notice.

2.3 Geographic Availability

Due to legal and regulatory requirements, compliance obligations or business decisions, we may restrict or completely stop the availability of the Service in specific regions. The Service is currently primarily offered to users in Mainland China.


3. Eligibility and Accounts

3.1 Eligibility

  • You shall be a natural person with full civil capacity or a duly established and existing legal entity.
  • Use by minors is described in Section 11 of the MiYu Note Privacy Policy; this Agreement and the Privacy Policy are consistent with respect to age requirements.
  • You are not a person with whom we are prohibited from doing business (including, without limitation, users who are subjects of sanctions).

3.2 Account Registration and Use

  • You must provide a true and accurate email address or Mainland China mobile phone number for registration.
  • You shall properly safeguard your login credentials (email/phone number, verification codes, login password, Space Key password and Space Key) and shall be responsible for all operations performed through your account.
  • In principle, a single natural person may hold only one (1) account; multiple-account behaviour may be deemed abuse and may trigger account restrictions.

3.3 Account Security

  • If you discover any unauthorized use, leakage or loss, please notify us immediately through the in-app feedback channel or our security mailbox (security@miyunote.cn). We will assist in taking necessary measures within a reasonable time, but we are not liable for losses caused by your failure to notify us in time.
  • Where we reasonably suspect that account security is threatened, we may proactively take measures such as temporary freezing or mandatory secondary verification.

4. Data Security and End-to-End Encryption (Core Terms)

4.1 Encryption Mechanism

The Service uses End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) to process user data. Your note bodies and attachments are encrypted on your local device before being uploaded to the server.

4.2 Zero-Knowledge Architecture

The server does not retain any of your plaintext data. To support essential interactions and basic retrieval, the following information is stored or processed without end-to-end encryption: Space name, Space background image, note title, note icon, note cover image, user nickname, and registered email/phone number. Apart from these, the bodies of your notes and attachments cannot be read by the server in any technical way.

4.3 Space Key and User Responsibility

  • You expressly acknowledge and agree that the Space Key is the sole credential for decrypting your data.
  • Due to the zero-knowledge architecture, we neither hold nor are able to obtain your Space Key, and we cannot recover it for you.
  • If you lose your Space Key or Space Key password without having made a local backup, we cannot recover your data or reset your access by any technical means. Any permanent data loss and related damage arising therefrom shall be borne by you alone.
  • For the specific mechanism of the Space Key, see Section 3 of the MiYu Note Privacy Policy.

4.4 Backup Recommendation

The Service should not be the sole storage destination for your core assets. You should perform regular independent backups of your critical data.


5. User Conduct Rules

5.1 Basic Obligations

You undertake to comply with the laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China (including the Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, Personal Information Protection Law, Consumer Rights Protection Law, Criminal Law, Public Security Administration Punishments Law, Provisions on the Governance of the Online Information Content Ecology, etc.) and the applicable laws of your jurisdiction.

5.2 Prohibited Conduct

You must not use the Service to engage in any of the following:

  1. Creating, reproducing or disseminating content that violates national laws and regulations (including, without limitation, content endangering national security, advocating terrorism or extremism, inciting subversion of state power or secession, pornography, false information, or disturbing social order);
  2. Infringing the legitimate rights and interests of others, including intellectual property rights, trade secrets, privacy, reputation or portrait rights;
  3. Engaging in fraud, phishing, scams, dissemination of malicious code, gambling, pyramid selling or other unlawful acts;
  4. Interfering with the normal operation of the Service (including, without limitation, circumventing usage limits, attacking servers, spreading viruses, fabricating traffic, scalping, etc.);
  5. Reselling, sharing or transferring your account or subscription rights without authorization;
  6. Using the Service for any commercial resale or top-up-on-behalf service;
  7. Violating export-control or sanctions regulations of your jurisdiction or the People’s Republic of China;
  8. Any other conduct in violation of Internet content-governance regulations such as the Provisions on the Administration of Internet User Public Account Information Services or the Provisions on the Governance of Cyberbullying Information.

5.3 Allocation of Responsibility for E2EE Content

  • Given that end-to-end encryption makes it technically impossible for us to review the specific content you store, you bear full compliance and legality responsibility for any information stored or transmitted through the Service.
  • Upon receiving a lawful, valid and legally binding notice or request from a judicial authority, government body or rights holder, we will cooperate in taking necessary measures (including, without limitation, suspending or terminating your account).

5.4 Abuse of Refund Rights

  • You understand and agree that using the Service’s refund policy in a “subscribe – refund – resubscribe” loop with the intent to avoid payment over the long term constitutes a breach of this Agreement.
  • We do not impose system-level limits on the number of refunds, but we reserve the right to conduct risk-control reviews and take operational measures, including without limitation: requiring additional verification, delaying the refund, refusing to offer you further subscriptions after your current subscription period ends, or restricting or permanently banning your account. For specific review objects, criteria and appeal procedures, see Section 3.6 of the MiYu Note Refund Policy.
  • Commitment to normal Users: We will only take the above measures when we have reasonable evidence that abuse has occurred; the refund rights of normal Users will not be affected.

6. Subscription and Payment

6.1 Subscription Types

  • We may introduce or adjust subscription types, billing cycles and prices from time to time based on business development.
  • The current Subscription Periods come in four tiers: Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual and Annual. Specific subscription types, billing cycles and prices are subject to the purchase page or the confirmation information at the time of your order.
  • We reserve the right to introduce new subscription types or adjust existing subscriptions; if any adjustment is unfavourable to you, we will notify you in advance in accordance with Section 11 (“Changes to this Agreement”).

6.2 Renewal

  • We currently do not provide automatic renewal. After each Subscription Period ends, if you wish to continue using the paid features, you must renew manually by yourself through the application or other official channels before your subscription expires.
  • We will remind you via in-app notification or email no later than seven (7) calendar days before the end of your current subscription so that you can renew in time and avoid disruption.
  • Subscription Price Adjustments: If subscription prices are adjusted, we will notify you at least thirty (30) days in advance. If you do not agree to the adjusted price, you may choose not to renew during the notice period.

6.3 Payment and Taxes

  • Subscription fees are subject to the currency and amount confirmed at the time of purchase.
  • Payment channels include, without limitation: credit / debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay, etc. Specific available channels are subject to those displayed on the checkout page.
  • Where subscription fees include applicable Mainland China value-added tax, we will indicate the amount before checkout and withhold and remit relevant taxes in accordance with national regulations; you may also choose to issue an invoice before checkout. Invoice details are set out on the checkout page.
  • Exchange rates for cross-border payments are subject to the rate at the time of payment processing.

6.4 Right of Withdrawal and Cooling-off Period (Reference)

  • The laws of Mainland China currently do not provide a unified statutory cooling-off period for online digital subscription services.
  • We additionally provide all Users with a thirty (30) calendar day no-reason full refund right (see Section 3 of the MiYu Note Refund Policy). After the 30-day no-reason refund period expires, you may still apply for a pro-rata refund under Section 3 of the MiYu Note Refund Policy.
  • The above entitlements do not affect any statutory rights you enjoy under the Consumer Rights Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Product Quality Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China and other laws (including remedies where the Service is defective or does not conform to the agreement).

6.5 Transaction Confirmation

Upon successful subscription, we will send a transaction-confirmation email to the email address you have provided within twenty-four (24) hours, including the order number, amount, currency, renewal date, cancellation method and refund method.

  • For the specific procedure for closing your account, see Section 8 of the MiYu Note Refund Policy; for rules on data retention and destruction after closure, see Section 7 of the MiYu Note Privacy Policy.
