Terms and licence.
Last updated: 2026-09-30
These terms are an agreement between you and Genvas App, based in the United States ("we", "us"), the maker of Genvas. They cover the Genvas desktop app, its licence keys and updates, and genvas.app. By buying a licence, or by installing or using Genvas, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use Genvas.
1. The licence
When you pay, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Genvas for your own work, personal or commercial. The licence is for one person. You may have it active on up to three of your own devices at a time, on Mac, Windows or Linux. You can deactivate a device to move the licence to another one; we may limit how often that can happen to prevent abuse.
The price is a one-time payment. It includes updates released for one year from the date of purchase. After that year, the version you have keeps working; renewing is optional and only buys another year of updates.
Each device checks the licence with our server online. A device must be able to reach the server at least once every 30 days, or Genvas will ask you to reconnect before it opens.
We keep all rights in Genvas not expressly granted here. You are buying a licence to use the software, not the software itself.
2. What you may not do
- Share, sell, rent, publish or give away your licence key, or let other people use it.
- Copy, modify, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer Genvas, except where the law allows this despite this restriction.
- Bypass, disable or tamper with licence checks, device limits, update checks or any other protection.
- Resell or redistribute Genvas, or offer it as a hosted service to others.
- Use Genvas in breach of any law or of the terms of an AI provider you connect.
3. Your API keys and AI providers
Genvas does not generate anything itself. You connect your own accounts with AI providers (for example OpenAI, Gemini, ElevenLabs, Fal, Kie, OpenRouter, Fish Audio or Higgsfield) using your own API keys. Requests go from your computer straight to the provider. We do not proxy them, and your keys are stored on your device, not on our servers.
You pay providers directly, at their prices, under their terms and policies. You are responsible for all charges on your provider accounts, including charges caused by agents you connect or by runs you start. Price estimates and dry runs in Genvas are estimates based on published prices and may differ from what a provider actually bills. We are not liable for provider charges, outages, model changes or account decisions. Providers are third parties; we are not affiliated with them and do not control their services.
4. Agents and MCP
Genvas includes an MCP server so agents running on your computer, such as Claude Code or Codex, can build and run boards for you. An agent you connect acts on your behalf with your keys. You are responsible for what it does, including the generations it runs and the money it spends. Claude Code, Codex and other agents are third-party products under their own terms.
5. AI output
AI output is produced by third-party models. We make no promise about what it will be. It may be inaccurate, low quality, offensive, similar to other people's work, or unsuitable for your purpose. Review it before you rely on it or publish it.
As between you and us, you own what you make with Genvas, subject to the provider's terms for the model that made it. You are solely responsible for your prompts, inputs and outputs, and for making sure your use of them is legal, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity and disclosure rules. We do not see, store or review your prompts or outputs.
6. Acceptable use
Do not use Genvas to create or distribute content that is illegal; that sexualises minors; that is sexual or intimate content of a real person without their consent; that impersonates or deceives people about a real person; that infringes others' rights; or that harasses, threatens or defrauds anyone. Do not use it to break a provider's usage policies.
7. Payment, tax and refunds
Purchases are processed by Stripe, which acts as the merchant of record and handles sales tax and VAT. Stripe's checkout terms apply to the payment itself. Prices are shown at checkout and may change for future purchases.
If Genvas is not right for you, email hi@genvas.app within 14 days of purchase from the address you bought with, and we will refund you in full, no questions asked. A refund ends the licence and deactivates its devices. After 14 days, purchases are final, except where the law where you live gives you more rights.
8. Updates and support
We may release updates, change features, or remove features that depend on third parties. We have no obligation to provide updates beyond the included year, to keep any provider or model available in Genvas, or to provide support. We will answer email when we can.
9. Termination
You can stop using Genvas at any time. If you materially breach these terms, for example by sharing your key or bypassing the licence, we may revoke your licence without refund, except where the law requires one. Sections 3 to 7 and 10 to 13 survive termination.
10. No warranty
Genvas is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that it will be error-free or uninterrupted, or that it will not lose data. Keep your own backups of anything that matters.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or provider charges, even if we were told they were possible. Our total liability for all claims relating to Genvas is limited to the amount you paid us for your licence in the 12 months before the claim.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, and nothing here takes away rights you have as a consumer under mandatory law.
12. Indemnity
You agree to defend and indemnify us against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content and outputs, your use of AI providers and agents, or your breach of these terms or of the law.
13. Law, changes and the rest
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes go to the courts there. If you are a consumer, you keep any protection the law of your country gives you that cannot be waived.
We may update these terms. We will post the new version here with a new date, and for material changes we will give notice by email or in the app. Changes apply from then on and do not take away the licence you already paid for.
These terms are the entire agreement between you and us about Genvas. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver. You may not transfer these terms; we may transfer them to a successor of Genvas.
