Evernote's Terms Will Change Without Your Say

Evernote holds a D grade. That's one step above failing. You're storing notes, notebooks, and whatever else you keep private here—and the company's legal terms leave you exposed on multiple fronts.

Evernote is a note-taking and productivity platform where you store your own information.

🔴 Forced arbitration and no class action. If something goes wrong, you can't sue. You can't join a class action. You're locked into private arbitration with Evernote, period.

🔴 The company isn't liable for hacks or unauthorized access. Even if your account gets compromised, Evernote has waived liability for the breach. You're on your own.

🔴 Evernote can change these terms whenever it wants. The moment you keep using the service after a change, you've accepted the new rules. No second chance to read them, no opt-out.

🟡 You're signing multiple separate agreements. Different features and services have different terms scattered across different contracts. Tracking what you've actually agreed to is a chore.

🟡 Your privacy policy is somewhere else. The terms reference a separate Privacy Policy but don't spell it out here. You have to hunt for it to know how your data moves around.

A D grade means real problems. Read what you're signing up for before you trust Evernote with anything sensitive.
