TermsLicence and refunds
The licence, in plain words.
Last updated 15 November 2026. Questions: support@porch.zeiq.dev.
- The licence
- A Porch Mail licence ($35, paid once) lets one person use the app, on as many of their own computers as they like, for as long as they like.
- Updates
- The licence includes the updates we release for a year after you buy it (the "updates until" date in your licence). After that, the versions you have keep working for good. Another year of updates is $35, and optional. Fixes for changes made by a mail provider (Google, Microsoft and the like) that break signing in or syncing are released to every licence, renewed or not.
- The trial
- You can use every feature for 7 days without paying. After that the app keeps reading your mail, but stops sending and writing to your mail server until you enter a licence key.
- Your key
- Your key is for you. Please don’t share or publish it. A key we find published may be blocked in a later update; we’ll contact the buyer first when we can.
- What you may not do
- Copy, resell or redistribute the app; reverse engineer it except where the law allows that regardless; or remove the licence check.
- Who owns it
- The app is ours and is licensed to you, not sold. Your mail, your settings and everything the app stores are yours, and stay on your computer.
- Payment
- Payments are processed by Stripe, which acts as the seller of record for your purchase and handles tax, receipts and payment questions. Stripe’s terms apply to the payment itself.
- Refunds
- Within 30 days of buying, for any reason: reply to your receipt or write to support@porch.zeiq.dev. A refunded key stops working in a later update.
- No warranty
- The app is provided as it is. We work hard to keep it correct, and it starts every account read-only, but email is important: keep your own backups. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for lost mail or data, or for indirect losses; and our total liability is at most what you paid.
- Changes
- If these terms change, the version you bought under keeps applying to that purchase.
