Terms of Service

Effective: [EFFECTIVE_DATE — insert before publication]

Operator: [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] ("labsly," "we," "us").

The short version

By installing or using a labsly app, or by buying a subscription on labsly.com, you agree to these terms. The apps are provided "as is." You own your content; we own the software. AI features are augmentation, not professional advice. If you have a problem, email us first; we will try to make it right.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using a labsly app, or by creating an account on labsly.com, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the apps.

If you are using a labsly app on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. What labsly is

labsly is a publisher of Mac software for designers, writers, operators, and the AI agents who work alongside them. We make and sell apps; we do not provide professional services or advice through them.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use labsly apps. If you are between 16 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have a parent or guardian's consent.

We may suspend or terminate access for material violations of this section.

7. Your content

You own everything you create with labsly apps. Manuscripts, project files, audio recordings, screenshots, financial data — yours. We claim no rights in your content. We do not access content stored on your device.

When you use a feature that voluntarily sends content to labsly servers (e.g. the metered LLM relay), you grant us only the temporary, non-exclusive license needed to deliver that feature. We discard the content after delivery and do not use it to train AI models.

8. Intellectual property

labsly owns all rights in the apps, the website, and the labsly brand (names, logos, marks). We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the apps under the EULA. All other rights are reserved.

You may use the labsly name and screenshots for fair commentary, review, and reporting. For other commercial uses, contact us.

9. AI features and outputs

labsly apps include AI features (on-device and cloud). You acknowledge:

9.1 App-specific disclaimers

10. Disclaimers

THE APPS AND THE WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPS WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT AI OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties. To the extent any warranty cannot be excluded, it is limited to the minimum period and remedy permitted by law.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LABSLY OR ITS PRINCIPAL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APPS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APPS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) US$50 OR (B) THE FEES YOU PAID LABSLY IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory of the claim.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless labsly and its principal from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) your violation of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the apps, or (c) content you create or distribute using the apps that infringes third-party rights.

13. Termination

You may stop using the apps and cancel subscriptions at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for material violation of these Terms, after notice and a reasonable cure period where practicable. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (IP, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, governing law) survive.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [CALIFORNIA or DELAWARE], USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

14.1 Informal resolution first

Before filing any claim, you agree to contact support@labsly.com and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

14.2 Arbitration

Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in [CITY, STATE]. You waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. You may opt out of this arbitration clause within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@labsly.com with subject "Arbitration Opt-Out."

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will give 30 days' notice by email (where we have an account) and by in-app notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
