Terms of Service

Last updated: November 9, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Vibes DIY website, apps, and services (collectively, the "Services"). By using or accessing the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not access or use the Services. All information you provide in connection with the Services is subject to the Vibes DIY Privacy Policy.

1. Our Services

Vibes DIY lets you create, build, and host applications. These Terms apply to the hosted Vibes DIY website and Services. Software we make available under a separate open-source license is governed by that license (see Section 8, Open-Source Software).

2. Age and Eligibility

You certify that you are at least 13 years of age. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has agreed to these Terms on your behalf. We may suspend or delete any account we believe belongs to someone under 13. If you are a resident of a country outside the United States, your country's minimum age may be older; in such a case, you are responsible for complying with your country's laws. The Services may only be used or accessed through an electronic device controlled by you at all times.

3. Temporary Use License

For the time you are authorized to use the Services, or if no term is stated on a one-time temporary basis, you are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, without the right to sublicense, subject to your compliance with these Terms, to access and use the Services. You are not granted a license or any other right to copy or store any of the Services on any computer or other device, except as enabled by the Services or permitted by an applicable open-source license.

3.1. Ownership. Vibes DIY shall own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to its Services and related software, all improvements, enhancements, or modifications thereto, and all intellectual property rights associated with the foregoing, except for software made available under a separate open-source license (see Section 8). Except for the limited access rights expressly granted in this Section, you obtain no rights to the Services or Vibes DIY's intellectual property rights by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

3.2. Your Content. You are solely responsible for all software, code, data, information, feedback, suggestions, text, content, and other materials that you upload, post, deliver, provide, or otherwise transmit or store (hereafter "post(ing)") in connection with or relating to the Services ("Your Content"). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of usernames and passwords associated with your account and for all activities that occur under your account. Vibes DIY may access your account and apps to provide support, keep the Services safe, and improve your apps. By posting Your Content on or through the Services, you grant Vibes DIY a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, reproduce, distribute, display, publish, and perform the apps, prompts, code, designs, and other creative materials you make with the Services, in any media and for any purpose, including to operate, improve, develop, and promote our products and services. For data stored in your apps' databases, including data from the people who use your apps, the license covers operating, securing, and supporting the Services only, as described in our Privacy Policy. In every case, the license includes security uses that protect the Services and third parties from fraud, malware, malicious files or content, viruses, and the like. You further agree that Vibes DIY may remove or disable any of Your Content at any time for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities relating to Your Content), or for no reason at all. Vibes DIY may also moderate the Services and Your Content at its discretion, including by reviewing, filtering, editing, rewriting, or otherwise modifying content, prompts, and apps (including their code, text, images, and behavior); by limiting an app's visibility or distribution; and by suspending, blocking, rate-limiting, or throttling access to the Services or to any app, account, or feature. We are not obligated to moderate, and moderating some content does not mean we have reviewed or endorse any other content. See Section 9 (AI and Model Use) for how Your Content is handled in connection with AI-assisted generation.

3.3. Improvements to Your Apps. As part of operating the Services, we and our systems may change apps you have created, for example to fix a bug, upgrade them to work with new features, reorganize code so our tools can keep working with it, or bring them in line with these Terms. These changes may happen without a request from you. Where practical, they appear in your app's version history alongside your own changes; changes made to bring an app in line with these Terms or our policies may not be reversible by you.

3.4. Your Apps and Their Users. You are responsible for the apps you publish and for what happens inside them, including content that other people post in them and the personal information your apps collect. If your app accepts content or data from other people, you are responsible for having the rights and permissions to collect and use it.

3.5. Fair Use. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide all plan levels with sufficient bandwidth, builds, and serverless function invocations that we determine are typical of projects at that plan level. We don't want you to worry about usage when hosting your Vibes DIY projects. We will notify you if your usage is unreasonable, and we may shut down and terminate projects and accounts that are creating an unreasonable burden on our infrastructure and/or business operations.

4. Acceptable Use

4.1. The Vibes DIY Services may only be used for lawful purposes.

4.2. Users shall not attempt to undermine the security or integrity of computing systems or networks of Vibes DIY, its partners, or any other person, and must not attempt to gain unauthorized access.

4.3. The network resources of Vibes DIY may not be used to impersonate another person or misrepresent authorization to act on behalf of others or Vibes DIY. All messages transmitted via Vibes DIY should correctly identify the sender.

4.4. Users must not introduce software or automated agents or scripts into Vibes DIY's website to produce multiple accounts, generate automated searches, requests, or queries, or to strip or mine content or data.

4.5. Except for permitted use of Vibes DIY's API, users must not access the website through automated methods, including robots or other computer code that calls the website.

4.6. Users shall not send unsolicited messages or use Vibes DIY Services to send unsolicited messages (also known as junk mail or SPAM).

4.7. Users must not interfere with or disrupt the Services or website, or create an undue burden on the networks or services connected to Vibes DIY's website.

4.8. Users must not perform any benchmark tests or analyses relating to Vibes DIY's website or Services without express permission from Vibes DIY.

4.9. Users must follow our Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these Terms. It lists examples of content and apps that aren't allowed, and we may update it from time to time.

4.10. Users shall not use the Services to host any protected health information or information subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, unless they first obtain Vibes DIY's prior written approval.

The final decision of whether an account is in violation of any of these acceptable use terms is at the sole discretion of Vibes DIY. You agree that violations of these Terms by yourself or any person or entity acting under your account will, in addition to any other remedies including criminal prosecution, result in termination of your access to Vibes DIY's website and removal (taking down) of all projects and deployments. In addition, violation of these Terms or any of Vibes DIY's policies may result in tracking information being stored to identify the offending person, and permanent restriction from holding an account on Vibes DIY's website and Services.

5. Etiquette

Without limiting any terms of these Terms, you shall not use the Services for, or in conjunction with, a website (including links from a website) that has any content that may be objectionable (as determined in Vibes DIY's sole discretion), abusive, profane, hate speech, or that violates any applicable law. You hereby agree to indemnify and hold Vibes DIY harmless against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements, and expenses (including without limitation costs and attorneys' fees) in connection with any third-party claim or action that arises from an alleged violation of the foregoing or otherwise from your use of the Services in a manner not authorized by these Terms. Although Vibes DIY has no obligation to monitor your use of the Services, Vibes DIY may do so and may prohibit any use of the Services it believes may be (or is alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT VIBES DIY MAY DISABLE OR TERMINATE THE SERVICES IF VIBES DIY BELIEVES THERE IS ANY CONTENT THAT VIOLATES THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE ACCEPTABLE USE TERMS AND THE RESTRICTIONS ABOVE, OR AS REQUIRED BY VIBES DIY'S HOSTING PROVIDERS. If you believe content hosted on the Services infringes your copyright, contact us at the address in Section 14 (Notices and Contact) and we will respond to valid notices. We may remove or disable allegedly infringing content, and we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

6. Security

You acknowledge that the functioning of the Services, including Your Content, may involve unencrypted operations, such as (a) transmissions across various networks, (b) modifications to comply with and adapt to the technical requirements of connected networks or devices, and (c) transmission to Vibes DIY's third-party vendors and hosting partners for the provision of essential hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology needed to operate and maintain the Services. As a result, you accept full responsibility for ensuring adequate security, protection, and backup of Your Content. Vibes DIY shall not be liable for any unauthorized access or use of Your Content arising from, in whole or in part, security vulnerabilities in your website or project, malicious content or malware within your website or project, or any corruption, deletion, destruction, or loss of Your Content.

7. Usage Restrictions

Subject to Section 8 (Open-Source Software), you shall not, directly or indirectly, with respect to the hosted Services: (i) sublicense, resell, rent, lease, transfer, or assign access to the Services themselves (sharing, publishing, and selling apps you build with the Services is permitted); (ii) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or associated systems or networks, or attempt to discover the source code, object code, or underlying structure of any genuinely proprietary, closed-source component of the Services (where applicable law permits reverse engineering to achieve interoperability, request the necessary information from Vibes DIY first); (iii) use the Services for timesharing or service-bureau purposes for the benefit of a third party; (iv) eliminate, alter, or obscure any proprietary rights notices (including copyright notices) of Vibes DIY or its suppliers within the Services or documentation; or (v) violate applicable laws or regulations (including, without limitation, data, privacy, or export-control laws) or infringe the rights of any third party in connection with the use or access of the Services. You must comply with any codes of conduct, policies, or other notices Vibes DIY provides or publishes in relation to the Services, and promptly notify Vibes DIY of any security breach or issue related to the Services. You acknowledge that Vibes DIY may establish general practices and limits concerning the use of the Services, including the maximum time that data, code, or other content will be retained, the maximum storage space allocated on Vibes DIY's servers on your behalf, the maximum compute capacity for executing builds and functions, and the maximum network data transfer. Vibes DIY reserves the right to modify these general practices and limits at its sole discretion.

8. Open-Source Software

Vibes DIY is built on open-source software. The Vibes DIY app and the Fireproof core are made available under permissive open-source licenses (Apache License 2.0 or MIT). Any software component that is made available under a separate open-source license is governed solely by that license, which controls to the extent of any conflict with these Terms. Nothing in Section 7 (Usage Restrictions) limits the rights granted to you under an applicable open-source license — including the rights to use, study, modify, redistribute, and create derivative works of that software in accordance with its terms. The restrictions in Section 7 apply only to the hosted Website and Services and to any genuinely proprietary, closed-source components.

9. AI and Model Use

The Services use AI to help you generate applications. We want to be clear about how Your Content is handled:

• Generation is performed via third-party model providers. To generate code and content, your prompts may be sent to third-party AI model providers. Your use of the Services is also subject to those providers' terms where applicable.
• Service improvement. Vibes DIY is a shared, evolving platform. We and our automated systems review prompts, apps, and how they're used, and may change, fix, or improve your apps and the apps we help you generate.

This Section is consistent with the AI and Model Use section of our Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VIBES DIY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. YOU USE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY APPLICATIONS GENERATED THROUGH THEM, AT YOUR OWN RISK.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL VIBES DIY OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICES. VIBES DIY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO VIBES DIY FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 13 (Dispute Resolution), you and Vibes DIY submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California for the resolution of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.

13. Dispute Resolution

13.1. Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you and Vibes DIY agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written notice describing the dispute to the contact address in Section 14, and we will attempt in good faith to resolve it. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of the notice, either party may pursue formal proceedings.

13.2. Courts. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the courts identified in Section 12 (Governing Law). These Terms do not require binding arbitration and do not waive your right to bring an individual claim in small-claims court where available.

14. Notices and Contact

For questions about these Terms, legal notices, security reports, copyright/takedown notices, requests for permitted reverse engineering for interoperability, or requests for HIPAA approval, contact us at:

• Email: help@vibes.diy

We will use this address to receive the notices contemplated by these Terms. Where these Terms require notice to you, we may provide it by email to the address associated with your account or by in-product notice.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, communicated by email or in-product notice. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
