Terms and Conditions

Effective February 11, 2026 · Last updated February 16, 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Raft browser extension (“Raft,” “the Extension,” or “the Product”), available at raftapp.io and through the Chrome Web Store. By installing, accessing, or using Raft, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not install or use the Extension.

Raft is developed and maintained by Kevin Raymond (“we,” “us,” or “our”), an independent software developer.

2. Product Description

Raft is a Chrome browser extension designed to help users manage and organize their browser tabs. Every feature, including optional encrypted Cloud Sync, is provided free of charge. There is no paid tier, subscription, or in-app purchase.

3. License

Upon installation, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Extension for personal or commercial use, subject to these Terms. The Extension itself is also licensed under the MIT License — see the source repository for the full text.

You may not:

4. Cloud Sync and Data

The optional Cloud Sync feature transmits certain browser tab data (such as tab URLs, titles, and organizational groupings) to your Google Drive to enable synchronization across devices.

  1. Data We Process. Cloud Sync processes tab metadata necessary to provide the synchronization service. We do not access, store, or transmit browsing history, passwords, form data, or any data beyond what is required for tab synchronization.
  2. Data Security. All synced data is encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM with a password only you know before it leaves your browser. We cannot read your data.
  3. Data Deletion. You may delete your Cloud Sync data at any time by disconnecting from cloud sync in Raft’s settings.
  4. Local-Only by Default. Raft operates entirely within your local browser environment. No data is transmitted to external servers unless you activate the Cloud Sync feature.

5. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection and use of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

6. Intellectual Property

The “Raft” name and logo are trademarks of Kevin Raymond. The Extension's source code is licensed under MIT — see the source repository.

7. Availability and Support

  1. Service Availability. We strive to keep the Extension and Cloud Sync service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Extension depends on the Chrome browser platform, and changes to Chrome or the Chrome Web Store may affect functionality.
  2. Support. We provide support on a reasonable-efforts basis. Support requests can be directed to the contact information in Section 12.
  3. Open Source. Raft’s source code is publicly available under the MIT License at https://github.com/raftapp/raft. If we permanently cease development or are unable to maintain the Extension, the community is free to fork, modify, and distribute Raft without restriction.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, KEVIN RAYMOND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE EXTENSION.

The Extension is provided free of charge. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE EXTENSION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE EXTENSION WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer, particularly under EU/EEA consumer protection law.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Extension if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use the Extension is revoked. You may terminate your use at any time by uninstalling the Extension. Sections 6, 8, 9, and 11 shall survive termination.

11. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of the State of Texas.

If you are an EU/EEA consumer, you retain the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence, and nothing in these Terms overrides mandatory consumer protection laws applicable in your jurisdiction.

12. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via raftapp.io or through the Extension itself. Your continued use of the Extension after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
