Terms Of Service

Last modified: April 4, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Appoven platform (“Service”) provided by AppSalon Pty Ltd (ABN 42 644 031 327) (“AppSalon”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By accessing, registering for, or using Appoven, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

Please read these Terms carefully, including the section titled “AI-Generated Code Disclaimer”, which sets out the important limitations on Appoven’s liability and your responsibilities.

2. Description of Service

Appoven is an AI-powered discovery engine that generates application code through an evolutionary process. The Service takes your requirements, preferences, and input and uses artificial intelligence and simulated evolutionary processes to generate code.

What Appoven is not:

• Appoven is not a traditional web development service. The Service does not include human code review, human testing, human validation, or human deployment services. Generated code is provided as experimental output from an AI system and you are solely responsible for all testing, validation, and deployment decisions.

3. Account Registration & Eligibility

3.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using Appoven on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

3.2 Account Creation

To use Appoven, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information during registration and keep this information updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.

4. Credits, Payments & Billing

4.1 Free Tier and Credits-Based Pricing

When you create an Appoven account, you receive 500 free credits to explore the platform. Beyond the free tier, Appoven offers subscription plans and credit packs. Subscription plans provide a monthly credit allocation along with additional features, and credit packs allow you to purchase additional credits as needed. Specific pricing tiers, credit amounts, and plan details are published on the Appoven website and may be updated from time to time with notice to users.

4.2 Payment Processing

Payment processing is handled entirely by Polar.sh (a payment platform operated in Sweden) via Stripe Connect. AppSalon does not store credit card data or payment information. By purchasing credits, you acknowledge that Polar.sh acts as the merchant of record and you agree to Polar.sh’s terms and conditions. All payments are processed in Australian dollars unless otherwise specified.

4.3 Refunds

For credit packs, unused credits are refundable within 14 days of purchase. Credits that have been used or partially used are non-refundable. For subscription plans, you may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period; no partial refunds are provided for the remainder of a billing cycle. To request a refund, contact us at privacy@appoven.io.

4.4 Usage Limits

Your use of Appoven is limited by:

• The number of credits available in your account, whether received through the free tier, a subscription plan, or purchased credit packs

• Monthly usage caps and feature limits established by your subscription plan

• Rate limiting and anti-abuse policies applied to prevent misuse

• Any specific limits published in the pricing or account pages

If you run out of credits, your access to credit-consuming features will be suspended until you purchase additional credits, upgrade your subscription plan, or your next billing period commences and your subscription credits are renewed.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 User Content & Generated Code

You own all code generated by Appoven in response to your inputs, prompts, and requirements (“Generated Code”). AppSalon provides the Generated Code to you “as-is” with no warranty, as further described in Section 6 below.

You are responsible for reviewing, testing, validating, and deploying all Generated Code. You may use, modify, distribute, and commercialise Generated Code as you see fit, provided you comply with these Terms and all applicable laws.

5.2 Appoven Platform Intellectual Property

AppSalon owns all intellectual property in and to:

• The Appoven platform, software, and technology

• All discovered patterns, recipes, and design principles generated through the evolutionary discovery process (“Evolutionary Intelligence”)

• The evolutionary process and all associated methodologies

• All improvements, enhancements, and modifications made to the Service

You may access reports and summaries of pattern information to understand the generated code better, but AppSalon retains ownership of all underlying Evolutionary Intelligence.

5.3 Feedback

Any feedback, suggestions, bug reports, feature requests, or other comments you provide to AppSalon regarding the Service become the sole property of AppSalon without any obligation to compensate you or acknowledge your contribution. You grant AppSalon a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use such feedback in any manner.

6. AI-Generated Code Disclaimer

THIS SECTION DESCRIBES IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON THE SERVICE AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.

6.1 No Human Review or Testing

All code generated by Appoven is created entirely through artificial intelligence systems. No human developer, quality assurance engineer, or other human reviews, tests, validates, or approves the Generated Code before it is provided to you. The Appoven system includes autonomous code review and testing features that use simulated environments and AI, but these do not constitute human validation or quality assurance.

6.2 No Warranties

Generated Code is provided “as-is” and “as available” with NO WARRANTIES of any kind, either express or implied. Specifically, AppSalon makes NO WARRANTY that:

• Generated Code is fit for any particular purpose or use

• Generated Code is free from errors, bugs, or defects

• Generated Code is free from security vulnerabilities

• Generated Code meets any performance or quality standards

• Generated Code is compatible with any particular platform, framework, or environment

• Generated Code complies with any laws or regulations

• Generated Code will not infringe third-party intellectual property rights

• The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure

6.3 User Responsibility for Testing and Deployment

You are solely and completely responsible for:

• Reviewing all Generated Code in detail before any use

• Testing Generated Code thoroughly in isolated, non-production environments

• Validating that Generated Code meets your requirements and quality standards

• Identifying and fixing any errors, bugs, or security vulnerabilities

• Ensuring Generated Code complies with all applicable laws and regulations

• Obtaining any necessary third-party licences or permissions

• Making the final decision whether to deploy or use Generated Code in any environment

• Supporting, maintaining, and debugging Generated Code after deployment

6.4 Regulated Industries Warning

If you intend to use Generated Code in regulated industries (such as healthcare, financial services, aviation, critical infrastructure, or other areas subject to strict legal or safety requirements), you do so entirely at your own risk. AppSalon strongly advises against using Generated Code in regulated industries without extensive human expert review, testing, and validation by qualified professionals in that industry. Using Generated Code in such contexts without proper review may violate applicable laws and regulations and could result in serious harm. You assume full responsibility and liability for any consequences.

6.5 AI-Simulated Users, Not Real User Data

The evolutionary discovery process within Appoven uses AI-simulated users and environments to evolve and test code. No real user data, real user behaviour, or real personal information is profiled or used in this process. The “users” evaluating Generated Code are artificial simulations, not real people.

7. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your use of Appoven and Generated Code

• Not misrepresent Appoven’s nature or capabilities; specifically, you acknowledge that Appoven is not a traditional web development service and generated code has not been professionally reviewed or tested

• Use Generated Code only in ways that are lawful and do not violate third-party rights

• Not reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the Evolutionary Intelligence from the Service

• Not use Appoven to generate code intended to cause harm, violate laws, or infringe intellectual property rights

• Accept that you and you alone are responsible for the consequences of using, deploying, or distributing Generated Code

8. Acceptable Use

You may not use Appoven in any way that violates the Acceptable Use Policy published on the Appoven website. In summary, you agree not to:

• Generate code intended to be used for illegal activities or purposes

• Generate malicious code, malware, ransomware, or code designed to compromise systems

• Attempt to abuse, overload, or disrupt the Service through automated means

• Violate the rights, safety, or privacy of any person or organisation

• Generate code intended to bypass security mechanisms or access controls

• Use Appoven to generate code that infringes third-party intellectual property rights

• Harass, threaten, or intimidate other users

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to Appoven systems or other users’ accounts

Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy may result in account suspension or termination at AppSalon’s sole discretion.

9. Beta Program Terms

9.1 Beta Status

Appoven is provided as a beta service. This means the Service is experimental, may be unstable, and may contain bugs or unexpected behaviour. Features may change, be removed, or be modified without notice. You acknowledge that beta services carry higher risks and you accept these risks by using the Service.

9.2 Data Retention in Beta

Completed projects and generated code are retained in your account for 72 hours from the time of generation. After this period, projects and associated code may be automatically deleted. You are responsible for downloading and backing up any Generated Code you wish to keep. AppSalon is not responsible for loss of data due to this retention policy.

9.3 Beta Termination

AppSalon may terminate the beta version of Appoven at any time with 24 hours advance written notice to all users. Upon termination, your account will be closed and you will lose access to the Service and any remaining Generated Code. You will receive 24 hours notice to download any Generated Code you wish to retain.

9.4 Pricing

During the beta phase, all users receive 500 free credits upon account creation. Users may also purchase subscription plans or credit packs at pricing set by AppSalon. Beta pricing may differ from pricing at full release. Pricing may change upon reasonable notice to users. Any price changes will not apply to active subscriptions until renewal, except as required by law.

10. Limitation of Liability

10.1 Liability Cap

Except where prohibited by law, AppSalon’s total cumulative liability to you arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or Generated Code shall not exceed the total amount of fees you actually paid to AppSalon in the 12 months prior to the event giving rise to the claim, minus any fees paid directly to external vendors (such as API costs charged by third-party providers).

10.2 Excluded Damages

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall AppSalon be liable for any:

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages

• Business interruption or loss of business opportunity

• Loss arising from errors in or incompleteness of Generated Code

• Damage to computer systems or data from use of Generated Code

• Third-party claims arising from use or deployment of Generated Code

These limitations apply even if AppSalon has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

10.3 Disclaimer of Warranties

Appoven is provided “as-is” and “as available”. AppSalon makes no warranty regarding uptime, availability, uninterrupted service, or error-free operation. You use the Service entirely at your own risk.

10.4 Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights, warranties, or remedies you have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by law. If the Service is acquired for the purposes of a consumer acquisition, the Australian Consumer Law guarantees apply to you, and nothing in these Terms will exclude or limit those guarantees.

If you do not consent to this use of your content, you may not use Appoven.

12.3 Case Study Opt-In

Appoven may offer you the option to allow a specific project to be used as a case study. This opt-in is entirely voluntary and is provided on a per-project basis through the Appoven dashboard. If you opt in, AppSalon may use anonymised or attributed details of that project (including its goals, the patterns discovered, and aggregated performance data) in marketing materials, documentation, or published case studies. You may withdraw your consent for any individual project at any time by contacting privacy@appoven.io, and AppSalon will remove or cease using that project’s information in future case study materials within a reasonable timeframe.
