2) Additional disclaimer
----------------------------------------------------------------

This software is provided as a general-purpose note-taking
utility. It is offered without any guarantee of fitness for a
specific purpose, data integrity, or compatibility with any
particular hardware, file system, or operating system version.
The author accepts no responsibility for:

  • data loss, corruption, or damage to files, notebooks, or
    systems, whether caused by user error, hardware failure,
    application crash, or any other reason
  • loss of notes, settings, or metadata due to improper
    shutdown, disk failure, antivirus interference, or
    operating system behaviour
  • any consequential, incidental, or indirect damages arising
    from use, misuse, or inability to use this software
  • the content stored in, or exported from, the application,
    including any material that may infringe the rights of a
    third party

The user is solely responsible for maintaining backups of
their notes. Ghost Notes stores its data in a single file
(ghostnotes.ghn) next to the executable; keeping a copy of
this file in a safe location is strongly recommended.

----------------------------------------------------------------
3) Acknowledgment
----------------------------------------------------------------

Ghost Notes is inspired by the excellent MemPad note manager
created by Horst Schaeffer. It shares MemPad's philosophy of
keeping every note in a single portable file and staying out
of the user's way. Ghost Notes is not affiliated with MemPad
or its author, and it does not reuse any of MemPad's source
code. All credit for the original concept belongs to Horst
Schaeffer.

----------------------------------------------------------------
4) System components
----------------------------------------------------------------

Ghost Notes is built on the Microsoft .NET Framework and uses
the standard Windows Forms and XML libraries supplied by
Microsoft. Those components are governed by their own terms
and are not distributed with this application.
