Qodea Terms of Service

Version: 0.1 (draft) · Last updated: publication date

The short version

• Qodea is a service by Qualic that uses AI to design, code and publish websites and web apps from what you describe.
• The code and designs Qodea generates for you are yours. What you upload is yours too. You give us only the permission we need to run the service.
• AI can make mistakes. Review what you publish: you are responsible for your site.
• Qodea is in beta and we don't charge yet. We'll tell you before we start charging.
• On paid plans you'll pay a monthly subscription and, if your site uses more than what's included, overage with a spending cap you choose.
• If you use Qodea to scam, attack or publish illegal content, we can suspend your project or your account.
• You must be 18 or older to use Qodea.

1.2. These Terms are a contract between you and Qualic. You accept them by ticking the acceptance box when you create your account. If you use Qodea on behalf of a company or organization, you confirm that you can bind it, and "you" includes that organization.

1.3. These Terms include:

2. Definitions

• Service: Qodea, including the chat, the 7-step wizard, AI generation, hosting, domains, databases and the dashboard.
• Project: each site or app you create on Qodea, with its versions.
• Your Content: what you give us: the ideas and requests you write, the text, images, files and data you upload or enter, and environment variables.
• Output: what the AI generates for you from Your Content: designs, plans, code and files.
• End Users: the people who use the sites and apps you publish with Qodea (for example, your customers who sign up on your site).
• AI Credits: the unit that measures AI use for building and changing projects.
• Overage: a project's hosting usage beyond what its plan includes.

3. What Qodea is

3.1. Qodea lets you describe an idea in a chat or in a 7-step wizard. The AI proposes designs, makes a plan, writes the code (Next.js, with an optional backend in TypeScript or Python) and publishes it.

3.2. Each project is published on a qodea.dev subdomain. On paid plans you can connect your own domain.

3.3. You can download the code of every version of your projects as a .zip file.

3.4. Qodea is a web service. We may change, add or remove features. If we remove an important feature from a paid plan, we'll tell you in advance.

4. Your account

4.1. You can sign up with email and password or with your Google account. The information you give us must be true and kept up to date.

4.2. Protect your password and access to your email. You are responsible for what is done from your account. If you think someone got in without permission, tell us at contacto@qualic.dev.

4.3. If your plan lets you add members, you are responsible for whom you invite and what they do in your projects.

5. Beta and payments

5.1. Qodea is in beta. It may have bugs, frequent changes or outages. Don't rely on it for anything critical without keeping your own copy of the code.

5.2. During the beta, payments are not enabled and we charge you nothing. Each plan's limits may still apply.

5.3. Before we enable payments, we'll tell you by email and in Qodea at least notice days, suggested 30 days in advance. We will never charge you unless you have chosen a paid plan and added a payment method.

6. Plans, AI credits and overage

This section applies to charges once payments are enabled.

6.1. Plans. We offer the Free (USD 0), Pro (USD 25 per month), Business (USD 50 per month) and Enterprise (custom, by contract) plans. What each plan includes (AI credits, number of projects, members, backend, custom domain, hosting quotas and overage prices) is on the pricing page. Prices are in U.S. dollars (USD).

6.2. AI Credits. Each plan includes AI credits per month; the Free plan gives them per day, up to a monthly maximum. Building and changing projects uses credits as shown on the pricing page. decide whether unused credits expire at the end of each period and whether extra credits can be bought. Credits are not money, cannot be transferred and are not refunded in cash.

6.3. Free plan. It costs nothing and needs no payment method. It has usage limits. When a project reaches a limit, it is paused until the next period or until you move to a paid plan. It is never charged. Free plan sites show the "Made with Qodea" badge.

6.4. Subscription. Pro and Business are paid monthly, in advance, by card through Stripe. They renew automatically every month until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your account; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid and no further renewals are charged. refund policy outside withdrawal rights.

6.5. Hosting overage. We meter, per project, visits (requests), data transfer, compute, function calls and storage. If a paid-plan project uses more than what's included, we charge the overage at the prices on the pricing page.

• Spending cap: each project has a monthly overage cap that you choose (the plan sets a default you can change). When the cap is reached, what happens is what you chose among the options we offer (for example, pausing the project). We don't charge overage above your cap.
• Alerts: we notify you when a project approaches its quotas or its cap.
• Early charge: if the overage accrued in a month reaches the amount shown on the pricing page, we may charge it then instead of waiting for the end of the period.
• Attack traffic: if we confirm that a usage spike was caused by an attack on your project, we may waive that usage.

6.6. Failed payments. If a payment fails, we'll let you know. If it isn't resolved within grace days, suggested 7 days, we may pause projects with paid usage until it is paid.

6.7. Price changes. We'll give you at least notice days, suggested 30 days' notice of a price increase. The new price applies from the next period. If you don't agree, you can cancel before then. If you are a consumer in Argentina, section 21.3 also applies.

6.8. Enterprise. Enterprise terms are agreed in writing and prevail over these Terms where they differ.

7. Your right to withdraw and to cancel

7.1. Argentina. If you are a consumer, you can withdraw from a paid plan within 10 calendar days of purchase, without giving a reason and at no cost, using the "Botón de arrepentimiento" (withdrawal button) link, which is visible at location, e.g. the footer of every page and does not require signing in. We refund what you paid using the same payment method. You can also cancel your plan at any time with the "Botón de baja de servicio" (cancellation button) link, in the same place, or through the same channel you used to subscribe. In both cases we send you a request code within 24 hours. We may ask you to take reasonable steps to confirm your identity.

7.2. European Union and United Kingdom. If you are a consumer, you have 14 days from purchase to withdraw without giving a reason. If you ask for the paid service to start before those 14 days are over and then withdraw, we charge you only for the portion of time used.

7.3. None of this limits other rights the law of your country gives you.

8. Your Content and the generated code

8.1. Your Content is yours. We acquire no rights in it, except the license in section 8.4.

8.2. The Output is yours. To the extent we have any rights in the code, designs and files the AI generates for you, we assign them to you. You may use, modify, sell and publish them anywhere, including outside Qodea. Keep in mind that:

• in some countries, AI-generated material may not be protected by copyright;
• the AI may generate similar output for other people, and we don't give you exclusivity over common ideas, styles or solutions;
• the Output may include third-party open-source software (for example, Next.js) that keeps its own license.

8.3. Platform components. Some files in your projects are written by us, not by the AI (for example, the base template and the user-accounts module). We grant you a free, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable license to use, modify and distribute them as part of your projects, including outside Qodea. confirm this license or choose an open-source license, e.g. MIT

8.4. The license you give us. You give us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, copy, process, transform, display and publish Your Content and the Output, only to provide the Service to you: to generate and change your projects, send them to the AI providers named in the Privacy Policy, build them, publish them on your subdomain or domain, make backups, support you, prevent abuse and comply with the law. The license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies we must keep as described in the Privacy Policy.

8.5. We don't train AI on your data. Qualic doesn't use Your Content or the Output to train AI models. What each AI provider may do with the data it receives is explained in the Privacy Policy. confirm Qualic's commitment

8.6. What you confirm. You have the rights and permissions needed for Your Content, and using it on Qodea does not infringe anyone's rights or the law.

8.7. Feedback. If you send us ideas or comments about Qodea, we may use them freely, with no obligation to you.

9. AI can make mistakes: review what you publish

9.1. Qodea is an AI system: when you use the chat or the steps, you are interacting with an AI, and the Output is generated by AI. It may contain errors, security flaws, inaccurate text or content that does not comply with the law of your country, even when it looks right.

9.2. You decide what to publish and you are responsible for what you publish. Before publishing a project or using it with real data or money, review the code, text, images and behavior, and test it appropriately.

9.3. Your site may need its own legal texts (terms, privacy policy, cookie notice, your business details, consumer information). Anything the AI writes about this is only a starting point and is not legal advice.

9.4. Don't use the Output without human oversight for decisions that significantly affect people (for example, credit, employment, health or insurance).

10. Your End Users' data

10.1. If your project stores End Users' data (for example, accounts or forms), you are the controller of that data and we process it on your behalf as a processor, under the Data Processing Agreement.

10.2. You agree to: tell your End Users how you handle their data, have a legal basis for doing so, answer their requests (access, deletion, etc.) and comply with the data protection laws that apply to you.

10.3. Qodea is not designed for sensitive data (health, biometrics, etc.) or children's data. Don't process them with Qodea unless we agree in writing. confirm this restriction

11. Environment variables and keys

11.1. You can add environment variables (for example, keys for third-party services). We store them encrypted and don't show them to you in full again after you save them.

11.2. The values of your variables are never sent to the AI: the AI only sees their names.

11.3. Variables starting with NEXT_PUBLIC_ reach the browser of anyone visiting your site, so they are public: don't put secrets in them.

11.4. You are responsible for the keys you add and for your projects' use of third-party services.

12. Subdomains and custom domains

12.1. Your qodea.dev subdomain is assigned to you to use while you keep the project; you don't own it. We may refuse or take it back if it confuses people, impersonates a brand or person, or breaks the Acceptable Use Policy.

12.2. To connect a custom domain (paid plans) you must own it or have permission, and keep the DNS settings we give you. We don't register domains for you. Once your custom domain is active, the project's qodea.dev subdomain is released.

13. Acceptable use

You must follow the Acceptable Use Policy. You also may not: try to access other customers' accounts, projects or data; get around limits, meters or caps; reverse-engineer the Service except where the law allows it; or resell the Service without our written permission.

14. Suspension and termination

14.1. By us. We may pause a project, remove content, or suspend or close an account if you break these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, if the law or an authority requires it, or if there is a risk to other people or to the Service. In serious cases (for example, phishing, malware or attacks) we do it immediately and without prior notice. In other cases, where reasonable, we notify you first and give you a chance to fix it. We always tell you the reason and how to ask for a review, unless the law prevents it.

14.2. We may also close Free plan accounts inactive for more than period, e.g. 12 months, after notice by email.

14.3. By you. You can close your account at any time from where the account is deleted or by writing to contacto@qualic.dev.

14.4. What happens on closing. Your projects stop being published. Before closing, download any code you want to keep. We delete your data within the periods set out in the Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive (ownership, outstanding payments, liability, governing law) survive.

15. Availability and support

15.1. We make reasonable efforts to keep Qodea working well, but we don't guarantee that it will always be available or error-free, and we don't offer a service level (SLA) unless agreed in writing (for example, on an Enterprise plan).

15.2. There may be maintenance and outages. Keep your own copy of your projects' code.

15.3. We provide support through email to contacto@qualic.dev.

Qodea, its software, brand, design and documentation belong to Qualic or its licensors. Except as stated in sections 8.2 and 8.3, these Terms give you no rights in them.

17. Third-party services

Qodea uses providers (for example, Google for sign-in and Stripe for payments) and lets you connect third-party services to your projects. Those services have their own terms. We are not responsible for services you contract directly with third parties.

18. Warranties

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, QODEA IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE OUTPUT IS ACCURATE, SECURE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR COMPLIANT WITH THE LAW OF YOUR COUNTRY, AND WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

• WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, CUSTOMERS OR OPPORTUNITIES, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES;

19.2. These limits do not apply to damage we cause intentionally or through gross negligence, to death or personal injury, or to rights that the consumer protection law of your country does not allow to be limited. If you are a consumer in Argentina, no clause of these Terms that limits our liability for damages contrary to Law 24,240 applies.

20. Indemnity

If a third party makes a claim against us over Your Content, your projects, or your use of Qodea in breach of these Terms or the law, you will be responsible for that claim and the reasonable costs it causes us. This section does not apply to consumers where the law prevents it.

21. Changes to these Terms

21.1. We may update these Terms. If a change is important, we'll notify you by email and in Qodea at least notice days, suggested 30 days before it applies. If you don't agree, you can close your account before that date.
