Terms
What you are buying
Last updated 2026-09-09. Written to be read, not to be got past.
Who you are dealing with
Mochi is sold by Kuro, USA. Questions go to kurodenjiro@gmail.com.
Payment is taken by Polar Software Inc. as merchant of record. They are the seller of the subscription for tax purposes, they hold your payment details, and they owe the VAT or sales tax in your country. We never see a card number.
What the licence is
A Mochi Pro subscription is a licence to use the app for as long as the subscription is paid. It is not a transfer of ownership of the software, and it is per person: one subscription covers one person on their own machines, up to the limit shown in your profile.
The free tier is a licence too, on the same terms, with the limits described on the pricing page.
Your data is yours
Your workspaces are files on your disk in a documented format. Nothing here claims any right over their contents, and ending a subscription does not lock them: the files stay readable by the free tier and by anything else that reads SQLite.
Because those files are yours and live only on your machine, backing them up is yours too. We cannot restore something we never had a copy of.
Billing
- Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
- Cancelling stops the renewal. It does not end the period you have already paid for — Pro runs to the end of it, and your profile shows the date.
- Prices may change, but not for a period already paid.
- Refunds are described on the refund page.
What we can stop doing
We may end an account that is being used to break the law, to attack the service, or to resell access. If that happens you will be told why, and any unused part of a paid period will be refunded.
The app itself is not remotely disabled. It is software on your machine and it keeps running; what ends is the account and the Pro limits attached to it.
What is not promised
The software is provided as it is. It is tested and it is used daily by the people who make it, but it is not promised to be free of defects, to suit a particular purpose, or to be available without interruption.
Where the law allows a limit on liability, ours is the amount you paid in the twelve months before the problem. Where the law does not allow that — and in several countries it does not, particularly for consumers — the law wins and this paragraph does not apply to you.
Changes to these terms
If these change in a way that matters, subscribers will be told by email before it takes effect, and the date at the top of this page will move. Continuing to use the app after that is acceptance; if you would rather not, cancel and the refund page applies.
