These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Klyssa desktop application, the Klyssawebsite, and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Petran Laurentiu PFA("we", "us", or "our"). By downloading, installing, accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By installing the app, creating an account, purchasing credits, or using the Service in any way, you affirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding contract, and that you will comply with these Terms and all applicable local, national and international laws and regulations.
2. License to Use the App
Klyssa is proprietary software. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Klyssa application on devices you own or control, for your personal or internal business purposes.
You may not:
- resell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the application or access to it;
- reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the application, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- remove or alter any proprietary notices, or circumvent any technical limitations or license checks.
Supported platforms. Klyssa is initially released for macOS. Support for additional platforms (such as Linux and, later, Windows) may be offered over time. We make no commitment that the Service will run on, or remain available for, any particular operating system, version or hardware configuration.
3. Accounts & Responsibilities
You can use the core editor and bring your own AI key without an account. An account is only required to purchase and use Klyssa credits. Where you create an account:
- you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account;
- you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information and to keep it up to date;
- you must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.
4. Acceptable Use
Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Among other things, you must not use Klyssa to create, edit, or distribute content that is illegal, infringing, or harmful. We may suspend or terminate access for violations.
5. Your Content & Responsibility
Klyssais a local-first editor. The video, audio, images, projects and other materials you import, create, or export ("Your Content") stay on your device; we do not host, review, monitor, moderate, or back up Your Content.
You retain all ownership of Your Content, and you are solely responsible for it. This includes responsibility for:
- holding all rights, licenses, consents and permissions necessary for any footage, music, images, fonts, logos, trademarks, likenesses or other materials you use;
- how you use, publish, distribute or monetize anything you create with the Service;
- ensuring Your Content and your use of it comply with all applicable laws and with the terms of any platform on which you publish it.
We do not claim ownership of Your Content and do not endorse, verify, or guarantee it. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for Your Content or for what you do with the Service.
6. AI Features & Third-Party Providers
Klyssa offers optional AI features (such as an assistant, image generation, voiceover, and captions). Depending on the feature and your settings, these may run locally on your device, or send prompts and text (never your raw video footage) to third-party AI providers such as OpenAI, Google (Gemini) or OpenRouter — either through Klyssa credits or using an API key you supply ("bring your own key").
- AI output is not guaranteed. AI-generated results may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or inappropriate. You are solely responsible for reviewing AI output and for any decisions or content based on it.
- Provider terms apply.When you use a third-party AI provider or your own key, your use is also governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy, and you are responsible for compliance and for any costs you incur with that provider.
- You must not use AI features to generate content that violates our Acceptable Use Policyor any provider's policies.
7. Klyssa Credits & Payments
The Klyssa editor is free to use. AI features can be powered by pay-as-you-go Klyssa credits. Credits are prepaid digital content that are consumed as you use AI features. There is no subscription.
- Merchant of Record. Purchases of credits are processed by Polar Software, Inc.("Polar") acting as our Merchant of Record and authorized reseller. Polar handles payment processing, billing and applicable taxes (e.g. EU VAT). Your purchase is therefore also subject to Polar's Buyer Terms, while your right to use Klyssa is licensed to you by us under these Terms.
- Pricing. Prices and credit amounts are shown at checkout. We may change pricing or credit packages at any time; changes do not affect credits you have already purchased.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled in accordance with our Refund Policyand Polar's terms. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights you may have.
8. Export Formats & Codec Patents
Klyssa's default export is royalty-free (VP9 video / Opus audio in WebM). Certain optional export formats (for example H.264/HEVC and AAC) rely on codecs that may be subject to third-party patents and licensing requirements in some jurisdictions and use cases. Where you choose to use such formats, you are responsible for ensuring you have any rights required for your intended use. We make no representation that any particular codec is free for your use.
9. Intellectual Property
We and our licensors own all right, title and interest in and to the Service, including the Klyssa software, branding, trademarks, and any built-in templates, stickers or assets we provide (excluding Your Content and third-party materials). These Terms do not grant you any rights in our intellectual property except the limited license stated above. Third-party and open-source components are licensed under their own terms, which are acknowledged within the app.
10. Disclaimers & No Warranties
The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not warrant that:
- the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
- results obtained from the Service (including AI output) will be accurate, complete or reliable;
- any defects will be corrected, or that AI features, credits, or third-party providers will remain available.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights or guarantees you have under mandatory consumer protection law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Petran Laurentiu PFA, its affiliates, directors, employees or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service or any content created with it.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, we are found liable to you, our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount of fees you paid to us in the six (6) months prior to the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred euros (EUR 100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, and we do not exclude or limit liability where it would be unlawful to do so (for example, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law).
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Petran Laurentiu PFA and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (i) Your Content; (ii) your use of the Service; (iii) your violation of these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy; or (iv) your violation of any law or any third-party right, including intellectual property and privacy rights.
13. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory consumer protection rights you may have in your country of residence, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Bucharest, Romania for any dispute arising from these Terms.
If you are a consumer in the EU, you may also access the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
14. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service (including accounts and credit purchases) at any time, without notice, if you breach these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy, or where required by law. You may stop using the Service and delete the application at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnification) will survive.
15. Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Effective date" above and, for material changes, provide reasonable notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
