Terms of Service

Last updated 16 September 2026.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and Line 19 LLC ("we", "us", "our") and govern your use of the Cache Goblin application (the "App") and the website at https://cachegoblin.line-19.com (the "Site"). By downloading, installing or using the App, or by using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App or the Site.

1. The App

Cache Goblin is a macOS utility that finds caches and other files created by developer tools and lets you remove them. The App can be downloaded and used free of charge to scan and inspect your Mac. Cleaning features require a paid license.

2. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on the number of Macs stated at purchase (up to 3) that you own or control. A license is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and includes updates to the App for as long as we provide them. Team and business licenses are governed by the terms agreed at purchase.

You may not:

  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense or transfer the App or your license key;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except where the law expressly allows it;
  • use the App to break the law or infringe the rights of others;
  • share a license key beyond the number of Macs it covers, or use it to activate Macs you do not own or control.

The App is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all rights in the App that are not expressly granted to you.

3. Purchases, payment and refunds

Purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record, under its own terms. Prices are shown before you buy and may change; changes do not affect licenses already purchased.

If the App did not help you, you may request a refund within 14 days of purchase by emailingsupport@line-19.com from the address used at checkout. This does not limit any statutory right you have as a consumer.

Cache Goblin is a small-team project, and every refund costs us money out of pocket. To protect ourselves from fraud and false refund claims, for 14 days after a purchase the App sends us simple usage statistics: whether the license was activated and whether cleanups ran and how much space they freed. These statistics never include file names, paths or contents. After the 14-day refund period the App stops sending them. We keep these records for one year so we can respond to payment disputes, then delete them. We may rely on them when assessing a refund or chargeback. ThePrivacy Policy describes this in more detail.

4. Your responsibilities

The App removes files you choose to remove. You are responsible for reviewing what a cleanup will delete before you confirm it, for keeping backups of your data, and for deciding whether an item is safe to remove in your situation. Items the App marks as Restorable or Risky may take time, bandwidth or work to recreate.

5. Data loss disclaimer

Please read this section carefully. The App deletes files. Deletion is permanent when an item is removed directly, and files moved to the Trash are gone once the Trash is emptied. Although we test the App carefully, no software is free of defects, and the App relies on assumptions about how third-party tools store their data that those tools may change without notice. The App may misidentify a file, remove more than you expected, or remove data that you or another program still needed, and a removal may fail part way through and leave data in an inconsistent state.

You use the App entirely at your own risk. Before using the App you must have a complete and current backup of everything on your Mac, and you must check what a cleanup will remove before you confirm it. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Line 19 LLC AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY LOSS OF, DAMAGE TO, CORRUPTION OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS ANY DATA, FILES, SOFTWARE, PROJECTS, SETTINGS OR SYSTEMS, OR FOR ANY COST OF RECOVERING OR RECREATING THEM, OR FOR ANY LOST WORK, TIME OR REVENUE THAT RESULTS, WHETHER CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN THE APP, BY AN ERROR IN HOW THE APP CLASSIFIED AN ITEM, BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, BY YOUR CHOICES, OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS. Your sole remedy for any dissatisfaction with the App is to stop using it and, within the refund period, to request a refund.

Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including statutory consumer guarantees that apply where you live.

6. Updates and changes to the App

We may release updates, add or remove features, and change or discontinue the App at any time. Some updates may be required for the App to keep working. We are not obliged to provide any particular update or level of support.

7. Third-party services

The App interacts with software on your Mac made by others (for example Xcode, Docker or package managers) and, for licensing, with our payment processor. Those products and services are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

8. Intellectual property

The App, the Site and their content, including the Cache Goblin name, logo and artwork, are owned by Line 19 LLC or its licensors and protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Third-party marks belong to their owners.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP AND THE SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT IT WILL FREE ANY PARTICULAR AMOUNT OF STORAGE, OR THAT IT WILL CORRECTLY IDENTIFY WHICH FILES ARE SAFE TO REMOVE.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Line 19 LLC AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO DATA, FILES OR SYSTEMS (SEE SECTION 5), OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP, THE SITE OR THESE TERMS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR USD 29 IF YOU PAID NOTHING.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or the statutory consumer guarantees that apply in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and elsewhere.

11. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Line 19 LLC from claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the App.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms. On termination your license ends and you must delete the App from your Macs. Sections 5 and 8 to 14 survive termination.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Line 19 LLC is organised, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be brought in the courts located there. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada or another jurisdiction whose law gives you mandatory protections, you keep those protections and may bring proceedings in your local courts. Before starting a formal dispute, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally.

14. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the App and the Site. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. We may update these Terms from time to time; the date at the top shows when they were last changed, and continued use of the App after a change means you accept the new Terms.
