Terms of Service
In short
- You keep ownership of what you create. We need a limited license to host, back up, preview, and show your content so BudsCollab works for you and people you invite (see the Privacy Policy). You must only upload or publish media—including 3D models—you have rights to use on the Service.
- No illegal use, malware, breaking into systems or others' data, or abuse that harms the service or other users. We may suspend accounts that break these rules.
- The product may be in beta: we don't promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we may change or remove features.
- AI output can be wrong or incomplete. You choose how to rely on it. Liability limits apply as described below, which is typical for an early-stage product.
BudsCollab is operated by PolyAtomic Tech ("we"). These Terms apply when you use BudsCollab at budscollab.com (the "Service"). Using the Service means you accept them.
The product
BudsCollab is a shared workspace: rooms, a canvas, widgets (documents, todos, calendar, and similar tools), optional AI features, and optional realtime collaboration. We ship improvements and changes over time.
Accounts
Sign-in runs through Clerk. You are responsible for your account and for any activity under it. You agree to meet the minimum legal age to use the Service where you live. Users under 13 may not use BudsCollab. We may require age confirmation for existing accounts and may apply minor-safety defaults, including limits on mature content and public publishing.
Acceptable use
No illegal use, no breaking into systems or other people's data, no malware, and no abuse that harms the Service or other users. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these rules.
Your content
You keep ownership of what you create. You give PolyAtomic Tech a limited, royalty-free licence to host, process, back up, transcode where technically necessary, transmit, publicly display inside the product, and reproduce your files solely to operate BudsCollab for you and people you invite or otherwise authorize to view the workspace. Aside from facilitating that experience, nothing in these Terms licences your intellectual property broadly to unrelated third parties.
Uploaded files—including 3D meshes, rigs, shaders, scans, likenesses, audio, imagery, trademarks, logos, fonts, clips, bundles, packaged projects, widgets, calendars, drafts, spreadsheets, chats, embeddings, and anything else attachable—must comply with laws and any applicable third-party licences. You affirm you have—and keep—the rights required to upload each item here and place it wherever you choose inside the app (private rooms, shared rooms, collaborator sessions, optionally published read-only URLs, etc.).
Licensing shapes from third parties remain your responsibility—for example Creative Commons attribution or non-commercial carve-outs, personal-use storefront assets, likeness releases, soundtrack clearances, or engine royalties. If a creator prohibits redistribution, it is on you not to publish it on a public frame or otherwise exceed your grant.
For a plain-language overview of how we think about uploads, public frames, repeat problems, and copyright notices, see our Content guidelines.
Copyright & repeat infringement
We respect intellectual property. If you believe material on the Service infringes your rights, contact us at contact@polyatomic.io with enough detail to locate the content and evaluate the claim. We may remove or restrict access to contested material, notify the uploader, and terminate or limit accounts of repeat infringers where appropriate and consistent with applicable law. Bad-faith or materially incomplete notices waste everyone's time and may incur liability against the notifier.
Availability
The Service may be in beta. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may change or discontinue features when we need to.
AI
AI answers can be wrong or incomplete. You decide how to rely on them. We do not guarantee fitness for any particular use.
Disclaimer and liability
The Service is provided as-is, without warranties to the extent the law allows. We are not liable for indirect damages or lost profits. Our total liability for a claim is capped at the greater of USD $50 or what you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim (if anything).
Changes
We may update these Terms on this page and change the date above. Continued use after updates means you accept the new Terms. When a change is important, we will try to give you reasonable notice in the app or by email where we can.
