Terms of Service

01About these Terms#

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Hyperbond Studio Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore (“Angelo”, “we”, “us”). They cover Angelo's hosted services (the “Services”):

• Angelo Teams, the console at console.angelo.studio: organizations, members and seats, provider keys, usage, the shared library, IPs and on-model QC;
• the model gateway at gateway.angelo.studio, which relays your members' AI requests to providers using your organization's own keys;
• the MCP endpoint, which lets AI apps you connect read your organization's library and IPs;
• the website angelo.studio.

The Angelo app is open-source software. Its licence governs your rights in the app's code (see Open source); these Terms apply when you use the app with the Services, for example when you sign in to an organization.

By creating an account, accepting an invitation or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Services for an organization, you agree for that organization and confirm that you're authorized to; “you” then includes the organization. If your organization has signed a separate agreement or order form with us, it takes precedence where it conflicts with these Terms.

How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

02Who may use the Services#

• You must be at least 16 years old, and old enough to enter a binding contract where you live.
• Angelo Teams is built for studios, businesses and professionals. It isn't directed at children, and it isn't meant for anyone who would use it as a consumer outside their trade or profession.
• You may not use the Services if the law forbids it, including sanctions and export-control laws, or if we've previously closed your account for breaking these Terms.

03Accounts and organizations#

• You sign in with a one-time code sent to your email, with Google, or through your organization's single sign-on. Keep your email account and sign-in method secure: you're responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us at security@angelo.studio straight away if you think someone else has used it.
• Give accurate information, and keep your name and email up to date.
• An organization has owners, admins and members. Admins invite and remove members, assign seats, manage provider keys and manage billing; owners can do everything, and every organization keeps at least one owner. Admins can see their organization's usage and audit log, and every member can see who else is in the organization.
• When you join an organization, it controls your membership. Content you add to its shared library or IPs belongs to the organization's workspace and stays there if you leave or are removed.
• The organization is responsible for its members' use of the Services, and for giving its members any notices and getting any consents the law requires for the data it puts into the Services.
• Connected devices and apps act as you. You can see and revoke them in the console, and admins can revoke them for their organization.

04Plans, seats and billing#

Seats

• Organizations subscribe by buying seats. Each person who uses the Angelo app with the organization's account, or generates with the organization's provider keys anywhere, needs a seat. People who only use the console to manage the team, upload references or edit IPs don't need one.
• A seat is for one named person at a time. Don't share a seat or a sign-in between people.

Prices, payment and taxes

• Prices are per seat, billed monthly or annually, and are shown in the console and at checkout before you pay. Annual plans are paid in advance.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. You authorize us, through Stripe, to charge the payment method you provide for the fees and taxes due. We never see or store your full card details.
• Prices exclude taxes such as GST, VAT or sales tax. Where we're required to collect a tax, we add it to your invoice; otherwise you're responsible for any taxes that apply to your purchase.
• Angelo fees cover the Services only. They don't include anything your AI providers charge you (see Your provider accounts and keys).

Renewal, changes and refunds

• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each monthly or annual period, for the number of seats then scheduled, until cancelled.
• Adding seats mid-cycle charges the prorated price for the rest of the current period straight away. The console shows the amount and asks you to confirm it first.
• Removing seats takes effect at renewal; there are no mid-cycle refunds. You can't schedule fewer seats than are assigned or reserved. Taking a seat away from a person frees it for someone else; it stays paid until the period ends.
• Cancelling, switching between monthly and annual billing, updating your payment method and downloading invoices all happen in the billing portal, linked from the console. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and you keep the Services until then. A switch between monthly and annual billing may be prorated, as the portal shows before you confirm.
• Except where these Terms say otherwise or the law requires, fees are non-refundable, including for partly used periods and unused seats.
• If we change our prices, we'll tell the organization's owners and admins at least 30 days in advance. New prices apply from your next renewal after that notice, and you can cancel before then.
• If a payment fails, we'll tell you and may, after a reasonable chance to pay, limit or suspend paid features until the account is up to date.

05Your provider accounts and keys#

Angelo doesn't sell AI model access. Angelo Teams lets your organization use its own accounts with AI providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and others (“bring your own key”).

• Your accounts, your responsibility. You're responsible for having valid accounts with the providers you add, for complying with their terms and usage policies, and for every charge they bill you, including charges your members incur through the gateway and the QC checks your reviewers run.
• Only add keys you're authorized to use this way. Admins can revoke a key at any time; revoking it erases the stored key.
• We store keys encrypted and use them only to make the requests your members, reviewers and settings ask for. We never show them to members or send them to their devices.
• Usage and cost figures in the console are estimates, calculated from token counts and providers' list prices. Your provider's own bill is what counts.
• Providers process your requests under your agreement with them. We don't control, and aren't responsible for, their models, outputs, availability, prices or data handling.

06Your content and AI output#

“Your Content” means everything you or your members put into the Services, such as library files, references, IPs, prompts, descriptions, review notes and requests sent through the gateway, and the output you receive, including AI-generated output.

• You own Your Content. We claim no ownership of it. As between you and us, AI output you generate through the Services belongs to you, subject to the providers' terms and to the law, which may not protect AI output as it protects human work.
• Our licence is only to run the Services. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit, process and display Your Content only as needed to provide, secure and support the Services for you, and as the law requires. It ends when Your Content is deleted from the Services, apart from copies in backups and logs until they expire.
• No training, no selling. We don't use Your Content to train AI models, and we don't sell it.
• Your rights to use it. You're responsible for Your Content and must have the rights to upload it and use it as you do, including any characters, brands and likenesses in your IPs and references.
• QC advises; people decide. On-model QC and its AI check help reviewers compare work against references. They're a production aid, not legal clearance, and they don't tell you whether you may use a character, brand or likeness.
• Check AI output. It can be wrong, can resemble existing works, and may not be unique to you. Review it before you rely on it or publish it.
• Deleting is permanent. Deleting a library item removes its file from our storage straight away. IPs are archived rather than deleted, so their history stays available to the organization.

07Acceptable use#

You must not, and must not help or allow anyone else to:

• use the Services to break the law, or to create, store or share illegal content, including child sexual abuse material, which we report to the authorities;
• infringe or misappropriate anyone's intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights, including by uploading characters, brands or likenesses you aren't allowed to use;
• harass, threaten, defame, defraud or impersonate anyone, or make sexual or deceptive depictions of real people without their consent;
• break your AI providers' terms or usage policies through the Services;
• resell, share or provide access to the gateway, or to model access through it, to anyone outside your organization, or use it for anything other than your organization's work;
• share seats or sign-ins, or get around seats, rate limits, access controls or any other limit of the Services;
• access accounts, organizations or data you aren't authorized to access;
• probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Services, except by reporting in good faith to security@angelo.studio without harming the Services or anyone's data; or interfere with, disrupt or overload them;
• reverse-engineer, decompile or try to extract the source code of the hosted Services, except where the law allows it despite this restriction (this doesn't limit your rights in the open-source Angelo app);
• scrape the Services, or extract data from them by automated means other than the API and MCP tools we provide, or use the Services to build a competing service;
• upload malware, or anything designed to harm systems or data.

We may investigate suspected breaches, remove content that breaks these rules, and suspend access as set out in Suspension and termination.

08The Angelo app and open source#

• The Angelo app is an independent fork of Blender and is free software under the GNU General Public License: Angelo's own source files under version 2 or later, and the app as distributed, like Blender, under version 3 or later. That licence, not these Terms, governs your rights to use, copy, modify and distribute the app's code, and nothing in these Terms limits them.
• When you use the app on its own, for example with your own provider keys or subscriptions, it talks to those providers directly and not through the Services. These Terms apply only to the parts that use the Services.
• The open-source licence doesn't cover the Angelo name and logos. Don't use them in a way that suggests a modified build, or another product or service, comes from us or is endorsed by us.
• Blender is a registered trademark of the Blender Foundation. Angelo is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Blender Foundation.

09Third-party services#

The Services work with services we don't control: your AI providers, your identity provider, Stripe for payments, and AI apps you connect through MCP. Their terms govern your use of them. When you connect an AI app through MCP, you allow it to read, as you, the library items and IPs you can see, and what it does with that data is up to the app and its vendor.

10Feedback#

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you. Sending feedback doesn't give us any rights in Your Content.

11Early access and changes#

• Angelo is in early access. Features may change, be limited or be withdrawn, and some are labelled beta or preview. Expect rough edges.
• We work to keep the Services available and secure, but we don't promise any level of uptime or support response unless we agree one in writing.
• We may change the Services. If a change materially reduces what your paid plan includes, we'll tell you in advance where we reasonably can, and you can cancel.

12Suspension and termination#

• You can stop using the Services at any time. Owners and admins can cancel the subscription in the billing portal; it then ends at the end of the current period.
• We may suspend or close an account or organization, or a single member's access, if you materially break these Terms (including by not paying), if your use puts the Services, other customers or third parties at risk, or if the law requires it. Where it's reasonable, we'll warn you first, tell you why, and give you a chance to fix the problem.
• While you have access, you can download your library files from the console. Before closing an account or organization, download what you want to keep; if you need help, write to support@angelo.studio.
• To have an account or organization and its data deleted, write to privacy@angelo.studio from the account's email address (for an organization, from an owner's). We'll confirm the request and complete it within one month, as described in our Privacy Policy. Copies in backups and logs expire on their own schedule.
• Sections that by their nature should survive termination survive it, including fees owed, Your Content, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law.

13Disclaimers#

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and any warranty that the Services or any AI output will be uninterrupted, error-free, accurate, secure or fit for your purposes.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these exclusions. Where they don't, they apply only as far as the law allows.

14Limitation of liability#

To the fullest extent the law allows: (a) neither you nor we are liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill or data, however caused; and (b) our total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services is limited to the greater of the fees you paid us for the Services in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim, and US$100.

• We aren't liable for charges your AI providers bill you for requests made with your keys, or for the providers' services and outputs.
• These limits don't apply to your obligation to pay fees, to your indemnity below, or to liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited or excluded, such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

15Indemnity#

You'll defend us and our affiliates, officers and employees against any third-party claim arising from Your Content, your use of the Services in breach of these Terms or the law, or your use of AI providers through the Services, and pay any damages, costs and reasonable legal fees finally awarded or agreed in settlement. We'll tell you promptly about the claim, let you control its defence and settlement (you won't settle in a way that admits fault for us or binds us without our consent), and give you reasonable help at your expense.

16Changes to these Terms#

We may update these Terms as the Services and the law change. We'll post the new version here with its effective date. If a change is material, we'll tell organization owners by email or in the console at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless it's needed sooner for legal or security reasons. If you don't agree to a change, stop using the Services and cancel before it takes effect; continuing to use them afterwards means you accept the new Terms.

17Governing law and disputes#

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services, are governed by the laws of Singapore, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore, except that either party may ask any competent court for urgent injunctive relief to protect its rights.

Before starting proceedings, please write to legal@angelo.studio and give us 30 days to try to resolve the matter informally. Nothing in these Terms removes any protection you have under mandatory laws where you live.

18General#

• Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any separate agreement or order form we sign with you are the whole agreement about the Services.
• Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer them to an affiliate, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, and will tell you if we do.
• Events beyond control. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as outages of providers or networks, natural disasters or government action. This doesn't excuse paying fees.
• Notices. We send notices to the email address on your account or the organization owners' accounts, or show them in the console. Send legal notices to legal@angelo.studio.
• Severability and waiver. If part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term isn't a waiver of it.
• No third-party rights. No one other than you and us has a right to enforce these Terms, including under Singapore's Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 2001.
• Independent parties. These Terms create no partnership, employment or agency between you and us.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. If we provide a translation, the English version prevails.
