Terms of Service

Last updated: June 3, 2026

The short version

You get a personal license to use Ariv Studios products on your devices. Your data is yours. You are responsible for your own backups. Sync and managed AI are provided as convenience services and are subject to the limits below.

1. Products covered

These terms apply to all Ariv Studios products:

2. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using any Ariv Studios product, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the software.

3. License grant

When you purchase or download our software, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:

4. License scope

Ariv (desktop): Free to use on unlimited personal computers you own.

Mobile apps: May offer free and premium tiers. Subscriptions follow Apple/Google account policies.

Device limits: You may install our software on any devices you personally own. Sharing licenses with others is not permitted.

5. Your data

Sync risk

End-to-end encrypted sync is designed to help keep your devices up to date, but no sync system is perfect. Conflicts, bugs, outages, network failures, device failures, user mistakes, password loss, account issues, software updates, or third-party infrastructure problems may cause content to be delayed, duplicated, conflicted, corrupted, deleted, or otherwise unavailable.

Because your synced content is end-to-end encrypted, we cannot read it and may not be able to recover it for you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ariv Studios is not responsible or liable for any loss, corruption, deletion, failure to sync, failure to restore, or unavailability of your data or content.

6. Pricing and subscriptions

Ariv (desktop) - Free tier: Free to use. The full app, including all features, is available at no cost. You bring your own AI provider key (or run a local model) and manage your own sync.

Ariv add-on tiers (Sync, Sync + AI): Recurring subscriptions billed monthly or annually at the rates shown on our pricing page. Add-on tiers cover managed infrastructure (encrypted sync hosting and managed AI usage). Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. You can cancel anytime from your account settings; cancelling stops future renewals and you keep add-on access until the end of the current billing period.

Refunds: A 14-day money-back guarantee applies to first-time paid subscriptions. See our refund policy for full details.

Taxes: Our payment processor acts as Merchant of Record and collects and remits any applicable VAT, GST, or sales tax in your jurisdiction. The price shown at checkout reflects the tax-inclusive amount where required by local law.

Mobile apps: Processed through Apple App Store or Google Play. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Subject to Apple/Google refund policies, not this policy.

7. Restrictions

You may not:

8. Third-party services

AI features: If you use AI features, you connect directly to a third-party provider (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic) using your own API key. Their terms apply.

Managed AI: If you use a Sync + AI plan, your AI requests may be routed through Ariv's managed AI infrastructure to third-party AI providers. We may set quotas, rate limits, model choices, feature limits, safety filters, or temporary restrictions to manage cost, reliability, abuse, or provider availability. Managed AI is provided for convenience and may change, degrade, be unavailable, or be discontinued.

AI output: AI-generated output may be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, unsafe, or unsuitable for your intended use. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying AI output before relying on it. AI features are not legal, medical, financial, tax, security, or other professional advice.

Payment processing: Desktop subscriptions are processed by our payment processor, acting as Merchant of Record. They handle card processing, billing, tax collection and remittance, and customer payment data. Mobile purchases are processed by Apple or Google through the respective app stores. Their respective terms apply to payment transactions.
