• Folder names, descriptions, and organisation
• Personal notes added to cases within folders
• Deadline entries and notes

By using obiter, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and display your user-generated content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you. We will not share, sell, or use your content for any other purpose.

10. Referral Programme

obiter offers a referral programme. When a new user signs up using your referral code, both you and the new user may receive benefits (such as free months of subscription). We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the referral programme at any time. Abuse of the referral system (e.g., creating fake accounts) will result in account termination.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you:

Where possible, we will provide notice and an opportunity to remedy the violation before termination. You may also delete your account at any time through the app settings.
