Terms of Service
Last updated: 21 July 2026 · Version 1.0
1. Who we are
Prunify (the “Software”) is a macOS application developed and published by an independent developer based in Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (“we”, “us”, “Prunify”). You can reach us at [email protected].
By downloading, installing, or using the Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.
2. What the Software does
Prunify scans your Mac for regenerable files — application caches, logs, temporary files, and the other categories listed in the app — and, only after you explicitly confirm, permanently deletes the items you selected.
Prunify never deletes anything without your confirmation, and never touches your personal folders (Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Pictures, Music, Movies and iCloud Drive). That restriction is enforced in the cleaning engine itself, not merely in the interface.
3. Your license
Subject to these Terms and payment of the applicable fee, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Prunify:
- Free: unlimited scanning; cleanup limited to 1 GB of cumulative freed space per device.
- 1 Mac: unlimited cleanup on one (1) Mac.
- 2 Macs: unlimited cleanup on two (2) Macs.
Licenses are perpetual — no subscription, no expiry — and include updates.
Changing computers: this version of Prunify does not yet include self-service deactivation. If you replace or sell a Mac and need to move your license, write to [email protected] and we will release the activation for you.
You may not: (a) redistribute, resell, or sublicense your license key; (b) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except where applicable law permits it regardless of contract; (c) use the Software for any unlawful purpose.
4. Purchases and refunds
Purchases are processed by Gumroad, acting as Merchant of Record. Gumroad handles payment, applicable taxes, and receipts; we never receive or store your card details. Your purchase is also subject to Gumroad’s own terms.
Refund policy: you have 14 days from the date of purchase to request a full refund, no questions asked. Write to [email protected] with your order number, or simply reply to your receipt email. Once you have requested it, the refund is paid within 31 days.
5. Permanent deletion — please read this one
Prunify deletes permanently. Removed items do not go to the macOS Trash and, in most cases, cannot be recovered — not by us, not by anyone.
By using the cleanup feature you acknowledge that:
- You are responsible for reviewing the confirmation screen before confirming a deletion, and for understanding which categories are regenerable (safe) and which are not. Non-regenerable categories — such as iPhone/iPad backups and WhatsApp media — are labelled “review required” in the app and are never pre-selected for you.
- You are responsible for keeping your own backups (for example, Time Machine) of anything you consider important, independently of Prunify.
- We are not responsible for data loss resulting from your decision to select and confirm the removal of an item, including items in the “review required” tier.
- Prunify’s categorization is conservative and tested, but not infallible: operating systems, applications, and file layouts change over time.
6. Warranties
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or consumer guarantees; there, this section applies only as far as the law permits.
7. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR REVENUE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR YOUR LICENSE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.
This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law — including gross negligence, willful misconduct, and the statutory consumer guarantees of Brazil’s Código de Defesa do Consumidor for consumers resident in Brazil.
8. Intellectual property
The Software, including its source code, design, and branding, belongs to us and is protected by copyright. These Terms grant you no rights over our trademarks or branding beyond what is necessary to use the Software as licensed.
9. Term and termination
These Terms apply for as long as you use the Software. We may suspend or revoke a license in case of breach — for example, redistribution of a license key, or fraud. You may stop using the Software at any time.
10. Changes
We may update the Software (including its cleaning rules) and these Terms. Any material change is reflected in the “Last updated” date above; continued use after a change means you accept it.
11. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of Brazil. The courts of the district of Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil are elected as the venue for any dispute.
Consumers keep every right their own local law gives them: if you are a consumer, mandatory consumer-protection rules — including the right to sue in your own domicile under Brazil’s Código de Defesa do Consumidor, and equivalent rules in the EU and UK — apply regardless of this clause.
