Preamble
The Human Version: This document covers both purchasing an EVONOTE device and creating a cloud account. Depending on your situation, only the sections that apply to you are relevant — for example, if you didn't buy the device yourself, the purchase-related sections simply don't apply to you.
By accepting these terms — whether purchasing a device or creating an account — you confirm that you have the legal right and authority to do so, whether on your own behalf or, where applicable, on behalf of a minor in your care.
The Legal Part: This document governs both the purchase of an EVONOTE device and the creation and use of an EVONOTE cloud account. Its sections apply according to the accepting party's actual relationship to the product and service; sections concerning purchase, payment, and delivery do not create obligations for a party who did not undertake that transaction.
By accepting this agreement, the accepting party represents and warrants that they have the legal capacity and authority to enter into it, either in their own right or, where the account holder is a minor, as the holder of parental responsibility or legal guardianship. Where an account is accepted or managed on behalf of another person or sub-account, the accepting party warrants that they are duly authorized to do so.
1. Data Protection & GDPR
The Human Version: We respect your privacy and follow all GDPR and EU data protection laws because that’s just basic common sense.
The Legal Part: In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), any personal data you share with us (such as your name, email address, or phone number) is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently. We only store data that you explicitly provide to respond to your inquiries or process your pre-order/reservation. We never sell, lease, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
2. Cookies
The Human Version: We don't track your movement across the web, nor do we run ad networks. We only use a single, temporary session cookie generated by our web server to ensure the site functions properly while you navigate it. It disappears as soon as you close your browser, and since it’s strictly technical, no cookie consent banner is required.
The Legal Part: This website exclusively utilizes a first-party, non-persistent technical session cookie (such as standard server session identifier) required strictly for core navigation and functional integrity, as permitted under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC). This cookie stores no personal identifiers, is automatically deleted upon ending your browser session, and is fully exempt from prior consent requirements.
3. Contact & Communication
The Human Version: If you fill out a form or reserve an item, you’re giving us permission to email or call you back regarding that request. Simple as that.
The Legal Part: By submitting a contact or reservation form on this website, you grant us explicit consent to contact you via email or telephone solely regarding the subject matter of your request or order update.
4. Anti-Spam Protection (reCAPTCHA)
The Human Version: We use Google reCAPTCHA purely to keep automated spam bots from flooding our inbox.
The Legal Part: To protect our forms from automated misuse and spam, this site integrates Google reCAPTCHA. Its operation is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
5. Your Rights
The Human Version: Want us to delete your info or check what data we have on you? Just ask, and we'll handle it right away.
The Legal Part: Under Chapter III of the GDPR, you have the right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure ("right to be forgotten") of your personal data at any time. You may also object to or restrict processing.
6. Operator Details
The Human Version: EVONOTE is a project operated by Laza Invest LTD. To keep things clean and avoid outdated info if we update our office details, our full corporate credentials, registration numbers, and contact forms are maintained in one place on our Contact page.
The Legal Part: The data controller responsible for the processing of personal data and operating this website, pursuant to Article 13 of the GDPR and EU e-Commerce directives, is LAZA INVEST LTD. Full legal identification details (including entity registration number, tax identification number, physical address, and official contact options) are directly and permanently accessible on our Contact Page and within the site footer.
7. Orders, Payment & Delivery
The Human Version: Once you place an order, we prepare your device, install the EVONOTE software on it, and ship it to you. You pay through our secure checkout at the time of order.
The Legal Part: By placing an order through this website, you enter into a binding purchase agreement for one EVONOTE device, subject to the terms below. Payment is processed at checkout via our payment provider. Devices are prepared, configured with the EVONOTE software, and shipped following order confirmation. Estimated delivery timelines will be communicated at checkout or via order confirmation email.
8. Warranty
The Human Version: Your device comes with the standard 2-year legal warranty covering manufacturing and hardware defects, same as any electronics sold in the EU. This also covers software malfunctions of the EVONOTE application itself — including cases where a bug causes the device to exit its locked mode. It doesn't cover physical damage from drops/liquids, unauthorized repairs, or deliberately trying to hack or reverse engineer the EVONOTE software or the underlying device firmware/operating system.
The Legal Part: In accordance with Directive (EU) 2019/771, devices are covered by a 2-year statutory warranty of conformity from the date of delivery, covering manufacturing and material defects, and malfunctions of the EVONOTE software arising under normal use. This warranty is tied to the device's unique hardware serial number, not to the identity of any particular owner, and follows the device through any subsequent transfer of possession.
This includes cases where the device exits its locked (kiosk) operating mode due to a system error, defect, or software bug — treated as covered under the same warranty and repaired or replaced free of charge.
The warranty does not cover: physical damage from accidents, drops, liquid ingress, or misuse; unauthorized repairs or modifications; normal wear and cosmetic changes; or any deliberate attempt to compromise, disable, bypass, hack, reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise circumvent the security mechanisms of the EVONOTE software or the underlying device firmware/operating system, including by any method not explicitly listed here, whether or not such attempt results in the device exiting its locked operating mode. Such an attempt may also constitute unauthorized access to a computer system under applicable law, regardless of whether it succeeds.
9. Right of Withdrawal
The Human Version: As an EU consumer, you have the standard 14 days to change your mind and return your order, just like with any other tablet purchase. Return shipping is on you.
The Legal Part: Consumers within the EU are entitled to withdraw from a purchase within 14 days of receipt, in accordance with Directive 2011/83/EU. To exercise this right, contact us within the 14-day period stating your intention to withdraw. The device must be returned in its original condition, with all included accessories and packaging, undamaged and not subjected to any use beyond what is necessary to establish its nature and function. Refunds are issued within 14 days of receiving the returned device, using the same payment method as the original transaction. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the consumer.
10. Acceptable Use
The Human Version: Using EVONOTE comes down to one simple rule: don't do anything with it you wouldn't be allowed to do with an ordinary notebook at school — no accessing others' stuff, no messing with the device's security, no harassment, no spam. You're responsible for what you create and share, just like you would be with a paper notebook.
The Legal Part: By creating an EVONOTE account through our cloud service (at device enrollment), you agree to the following. You must not: access accounts, data, or content not belonging to or shared with you; probe, scan, or exploit vulnerabilities of the device or the cloud service; disrupt the integrity or performance of the service or other users' access to it; disable, bypass, or circumvent the device's locked (kiosk) operating mode; reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble, in whole or in part, the EVONOTE software or the underlying device firmware/operating system, regardless of whether this affects the locked operating mode; harass, threaten, or transmit offensive, obscene, or inappropriate content to another user through the service; or send spam or unsolicited bulk communications through the service. You are solely responsible for all content you create or share through the service, and for your compliance with applicable law. Where the device's account holder is a minor, use of the account requires the prior consent of a parent or legal guardian.
Where an account is created or managed under adult supervision (e.g., a student sub-account), responsibility for compliance with this section rests with the account holder for their own actions, and with the supervising adult for enabling and overseeing that access.
Where sub-accounts are created under a parent or teacher's main account, the holder of the main account is responsible for the acceptance of these terms on behalf of the sub-account, and for any actions taken through it.
11. Data Retention & Deletion
The Human Version: Your notebooks stay as long as your account is active. After October 1st, a device stops writing into the previous school year — we then turn that year's pages into images and remove the raw writing data to save space, but everything stays readable. If a device sits unused for 12 months, we delete all of its data, images included. Want everything permanently deleted sooner? Email us — we act right away for adults; for a minor's account, we need a parent or guardian to ask, since undoing a year of schoolwork isn't something a kid should be able to do on a bad day.
The Legal Part: Device sync for a given academic year's notebooks is permitted until October 1st of the following year. After this cutoff, EVONOTE generates page-level images of that year's content and deletes the underlying raw writing data, preserving visual access while reducing storage.
A device inactive for 12 consecutive months may be considered abandoned; EVONOTE may then permanently delete all of its data, including archived images. This affects only that device, not the account as a whole.
An account holder may request permanent deletion of their data at any time (GDPR Art. 17). Requests must be sent directly to EVONOTE. For adult account holders, requests are processed upon reasonable identity confirmation. For minors, requests must come from a parent or legal guardian, with reasonable evidence of legal authority — reflecting the irreversible nature of the action and the risk of a minor's unrecoverable loss of academic work. EVONOTE determines verification procedures case by case.
