Terms of Use — Vai
Last updated: September 10, 2026 · Effective: September 10, 2026
Bravely Studios LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the Vai application (the “App”). These Terms of Use govern your use of the App. Please read them carefully before using the service.
Acceptance and Availability
These Terms govern Vai, the video editor and optional collaboration services provided by Bravely Studios LLC. By using Vai you agree to these Terms. Vai is under active development; features described as planned, in development or unavailable in your build are not a promise of current access. These Terms do not create a purchase, subscription or storage entitlement.
Your Content
You retain ownership of your projects, footage, comments and exports. You grant us only the permission needed to store, transmit and display content you choose to sync, upload or share, operate the features you request, and maintain the service. You must have the rights and permissions needed for that use, including permission from people whose content or personal information you share. You are responsible for the content and instructions you provide.
Workspaces and Workers
Workspace roles determine who can view and change shared projects. Choose collaborators and worker grants carefully: authorized people and tools may change a project and download content their access permits. You are responsible for the workers you connect and for reviewing their output. A grant is limited to its project and permitted actions; do not share your account credentials or another person's Google tokens. Removal or revocation stops future authorized service access but cannot recall copies already received.
Media Storage and Copies
The initial internal collaboration beta uses a selected Google Drive folder for shared originals. Vai Cloud original storage and the option to use both providers are disabled. Shared edit and comment records use Vai's service separately from originals. Google Drive access depends on your Google account, the folder owner's permissions and Google's terms. Keep your own backups of important projects, originals and exports. Transfers can be incomplete or interrupted, and a saved edit does not prove that every media copy has finished uploading. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service or permanent storage. Changing a setting or cleaning a device cache does not automatically delete remote originals.
Connected AI and Other Services
Built-in processing runs on the device doing the work. If you authorize an external worker or AI tool, it may receive project data and permitted originals and process them on another device or service. Its provider's terms and privacy practices apply to its handling of that data. Authorize only the access needed for your project, obtain any required consent, and do not use connected tools to make unauthorized disclosures or reuse Google API data in ways its policies prohibit. Automated edits and generated output can be wrong; you remain responsible for what you publish.
Acceptable Use
Do not use Vai to infringe rights, share content unlawfully, access another person's account or files without permission, bypass access controls, or interfere with the service. We may limit or suspend access to address misuse, security problems or legal obligations. Nothing in these Terms permits reuse of another collaborator's content outside the authority they gave you.
Privacy and Deletion Requests
The Vai Privacy Policy at bravely.dev/privacy/vai explains project, media, Google connection and worker data. Request access, export or deletion of data held by Bravely by emailing privacy@bravely.dev from your account address. Requests are verified and handled subject to applicable law and other participants' rights. There is no promise of an automatic purge when you uninstall, disconnect a provider or leave a workspace. You or the relevant owner must manage copies on your devices, Google Drive and any external worker or service.
Warranty and Responsibility
Vai is provided as is and as available to the extent permitted by law. We do not warrant error-free editing, uninterrupted synchronization, compatibility with every media format or provider, or preservation of a copy you have not backed up. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the service. Nothing here excludes liability or limits consumer rights that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit.
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Except that the Resolving a Dispute section of these Terms is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and subject to that section, which sends most disputes to individual arbitration, any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Kansas, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. This does not apply to a claim brought in small claims court, or to any claim severed to court under the Resolving a Dispute section, either of which may be brought where you live. Nothing in this section removes a consumer-protection right, or the right to bring a claim in the courts of your own country, that the mandatory law of your place of residence gives you.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The specific severability rule in the Resolving a Dispute section controls for that section.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are in the EEA, the UK, or another place where 16 is the age of consent for online services, you must be at least 16. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms. By using the App you confirm you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from using it under the law that applies to you.
Copyright Complaints
If you believe content published through the App infringes your copyright, email support@bravely.dev with enough detail for us to act: identify the work, identify the content and where to find it, give your contact details, and include a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized and that the information in your notice is accurate. We remove or disable infringing content and may suspend accounts that repeatedly infringe. If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, reply to us and we will review it.
Resolving a Dispute
This section was added on July 26, 2026. It applies to disputes that arise on or after that date. It does not apply to any dispute that had already arisen, or that you had already raised with us, before then.
Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration or a lawsuit, send a Notice of Dispute to legal@bravely.dev describing what happened, what you want, and how to reach you. We will do the same for you at the address on your account. All limitations periods are paused from the date a Notice of Dispute is sent until 60 days later, or until either of us says in writing that talks have ended, whichever comes first. Not sending a Notice of Dispute does not bar you from filing.
Individual arbitration. If we cannot resolve it, you and Bravely Studios LLC agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the App, or our relationship will be settled by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except for the carve-outs below. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit: a neutral arbitrator decides instead of a judge or jury, discovery is more limited, and the decision is final and enforceable in any court with jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the Governing Law section, this section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Who runs it. Arbitration is administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules then in effect, including the Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol where those apply to you. The AAA's rules are at adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the case, the arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and its Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. If neither is available, either of us may ask a court to appoint an administrator or arbitrator under Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act.
Who pays. We pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration you begin, other than the initial filing fee set by the applicable AAA fee schedule, and we will pay that too if you tell us it is a hardship. We pay these regardless of who wins. We will not seek our attorneys' fees or costs from you unless the arbitrator finds your claim was frivolous as measured by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). Nothing here limits your right to recover attorneys' fees where a statute provides for them.
Where it happens. You may have the arbitration conducted on documents only, by telephone or video, or in person in the county where you live or have your principal place of business. You never have to travel to Kansas to bring a claim against us.
What is carved out. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court where you live, if it qualifies. Either of us may ask any court for an injunction or other equitable relief to stop actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property, credentials, or confidential information. Nothing here stops you from reporting anything to a government agency.
Individual basis only. Claims are brought only in your own individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent needed for that party's own claim. If a court decides this individual-basis requirement is unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief — including any request for public injunctive relief that the law says cannot be waived — then that specific claim or request is severed and proceeds in court, and everything else remains in arbitration. Any claim or request severed to court is stayed until the arbitration of the remaining claims is complete.
Jury trial. To the extent any dispute does proceed in court, you and we each waive the right to a jury trial, except where that waiver is not permitted by the law that applies to you. If a court finds this jury-trial waiver unenforceable, only that waiver is severed and the rest of this section still applies.
If we change this section. If we change this Resolving a Dispute section after the date you accepted it, the change does not apply to any dispute we already had written notice of, and you may reject the change by emailing legal@bravely.dev within 30 days of it taking effect. Rejecting a change leaves the version you accepted in force.
You can opt out. You may reject this Resolving a Dispute section entirely by emailing legal@bravely.dev on or before August 25, 2026, or, if you first accept these Terms after July 26, 2026, within 30 days of doing so. Put "Arbitration Opt-Out" in the subject and include the name and email address on your account. That is all it takes. Opting out affects nothing else — your account, your purchases, and your rights under the rest of these Terms are untouched, and we will not refuse or withdraw service because you opted out. If you opt out, disputes go to the courts named under Governing Law.
Where this does not apply. This section does not apply where the law that protects you does not allow it. If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, or anywhere else whose mandatory consumer law gives you a non-waivable right to bring a claim in your local courts or to use a local dispute-resolution body, that right stands and this section does not limit it.
This section survives the end of your account or these Terms. If any part of it is found unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest still applies; the individual-basis requirement is severed in the specific manner described above and not otherwise. Where this section and the general Severability section conflict, this section controls.
