Contact: info@rivelcompanies.com

1) Who we are

RIVEL is currently operated as a project and brand and is in the process of formal incorporation. Until formal incorporation is completed, the Services are provided by RIVEL (the project operator) (“RIVEL,” “we,” “us,” “our”).

2) Eligibility

You must be at least:

• 13 years old to use the Services (or 16 where required by local law), and
• able to form a legally binding contract in your jurisdiction.

If you use the Services on behalf of a company or organization, you represent you have authority to bind that entity and these Terms apply to that entity.

3) Accounts and access

You may need an account to use parts of the Services.

You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure.

You agree to provide accurate information and keep it updated.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or create risk for the Services or others.

4) The Services (what we provide)

RIVEL provides software and tools that may include:

• planning and execution features (tasks, missions, OKRs, sprints, notes, dashboards),
• wellbeing-style tracking features (e.g., reflections, habits, SEECS-style signals),
• AI-assisted features (drafting, summaries, suggestions, “next actions”),
• file uploads and storage,
• optional integrations with third-party services.

We may add, modify, or discontinue features at any time.

5) Beta and experimental features

Some features may be labeled beta, experimental, or preview. These features:

• may not be fully reliable,
• may change without notice,
• may have limited support,
• may be removed.

You use beta/experimental features at your own risk.

6) AI-assisted features

The Services may include AI-assisted capabilities.

You understand and agree:

• AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate.
• You are responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them.
• Do not use AI outputs as the sole basis for decisions involving health, legal, financial, or safety matters.
• No professional advice: RIVEL does not provide medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.

7) Your content and uploads

A) Your content

“User Content” means any content you submit to the Services, including text, notes, files, uploads, and other materials.

You represent you have the rights to submit your User Content and that it does not violate laws or third-party rights.

B) Ownership

As between you and RIVEL, you retain ownership of your User Content.

C) License to operate the Services

You grant RIVEL a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, and display your User Content only as necessary to provide, secure, and improve the Services, including to generate outputs you request using AI-assisted features.

D) Removing content

You can delete certain User Content through the Services (where supported). Backups may persist for a limited period for security and disaster recovery.

8) Acceptable use (what you may not do)

You agree you will not:

• use the Services for illegal, harmful, or fraudulent activity,
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data,
• interfere with or disrupt the Services (including bypassing rate limits or security),
• upload malware or malicious code,
• use the Services to infringe intellectual property rights,
• harass, abuse, defame, or threaten others,
• reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code except where permitted by law,
• scrape or harvest data from the Services without permission,
• use the Services to generate or distribute content that is unlawful or violates others’ rights.

We may remove content or restrict access if we believe there is a violation or risk.

9) Intellectual property (RIVEL content)

The Services, including software, designs, text, graphics, logos, and all related intellectual property, are owned by RIVEL or its licensors and are protected by law.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Services unless we give you written permission.

10) Third-party services and integrations

The Services may integrate with third-party services (e.g., calendars, email, CRMs, payment providers). Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.

RIVEL is not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or their practices.

11) Fees, billing, and payments (Stripe)

Some parts of the Services may be paid.

Prices, billing intervals, and included features will be presented at checkout or in your plan.

Payments are processed by Stripe.

Taxes may apply depending on your location.

Unless required by law, fees are non-refundable (including for partial periods), except where we explicitly state otherwise.

We may change prices with notice. If you do not agree to a change, you can cancel before the new price takes effect.

12) Cancellation and termination

A) You may stop using the Services at any time.

If you have a paid plan, you can cancel renewal (if available). Access may continue until the end of the paid period.

B) We may suspend or terminate access

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, create risk, or if required by law. We may also discontinue the Services with reasonable notice where feasible.

C) Effect of termination

Upon termination:

• your right to use the Services ends,
• certain provisions survive (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity).

13) Disclaimers

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.”

To the maximum extent permitted by law, RIVEL disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

RIVEL does not warrant that:

• the Services will be error-free or uninterrupted,
• AI outputs will be accurate or reliable,
• content or data will always be available without loss.

14) Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

RIVEL will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

In all cases, RIVEL’s total liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the amount you paid to RIVEL for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim (or US$100 if you have not paid any amounts), whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

15) Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RIVEL from and against claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• your use of the Services,
• your User Content,
• your violation of these Terms,
• your violation of any law or third-party rights.

16) Copyright and takedowns (DMCA-style)

If you believe content in the Services infringes your copyright, contact info@rivelcompanies.com with:

• identification of the copyrighted work,
• the content you believe infringes,
• your contact information,
• a statement of good-faith belief,
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act.

We may remove or restrict access to allegedly infringing content and may terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.

17) Governing law and disputes

Because RIVEL is in the process of formal incorporation, governing law and venue may be updated once incorporation is finalized.

Until then:

• These Terms will be interpreted under a reasonable, globally-oriented standard that prioritizes enforceability and consumer protections where applicable.
• If a dispute arises, you agree to first contact info@rivelcompanies.com to seek an informal resolution.
• After incorporation, we will update this section to specify governing law and venue and provide notice of the change.

18) Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide notice (e.g., in-app or email notice) and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
