Terms of Service
Last updated: March 25, 2026
Plain language: These terms establish the agreement between you and Kani. We've tried to keep the legal language clear and fair. If anything seems unclear, reach out — we're happy to explain.
Accepting These Terms
By downloading, installing, or using Kani, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you're using Kani on behalf of an organization, you're agreeing to these terms on their behalf.
What Kani Provides
Kani is a privacy-focused AI assistant application that:
- Provides an interface to interact with various AI language models
- Stores your conversations and context locally on your device
- Offers optional encrypted sync between your devices
- Routes your AI requests through our service to manage subscriptions
Your Account
Creating an Account
You need an account to use Kani's full features. When you create an account, you agree to provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure.
Account Security
You're responsible for all activity under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, contact us immediately at support@kani.ai.
Age Requirements
You must be at least 13 years old to use Kani. If you're under 18, you need parental consent. Our upcoming Family plan will include supervised accounts for younger users.
Subscriptions & Payment
Plans & Pricing
Kani offers subscription plans as displayed in the app and on our website. Prices may vary by region and are subject to change with reasonable notice.
Billing
Subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store. All billing is managed by Apple according to their terms. We don't have direct access to your payment information.
Cancellation
You can cancel your subscription anytime through your Apple ID settings. Access continues until the end of your current billing period. We don't offer refunds for partial periods, but Apple's standard refund policies apply.
Token Usage
Your subscription includes a monthly token allowance. Unused tokens don't roll over. If you exhaust your allowance, you can purchase additional tokens or wait for your next billing cycle.
Acceptable Use
When using Kani, you agree not to:
- ✕Use Kani to generate illegal, harmful, or abusive content
- ✕Attempt to circumvent usage limits or security measures
- ✕Resell, redistribute, or sublicense access to Kani
- ✕Reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from Kani
- ✕Use automated tools to abuse the service
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these guidelines.
Your Content
You own your content. The conversations, context notes, and files you create with Kani belong to you. We don't claim any rights to your content.
By using Kani, you grant us the limited right to transmit your prompts to AI providers to deliver the service. This is purely functional — we don't store, analyze, or use your content for any other purpose.
AI-Generated Content
When you use Kani to interact with AI models, please understand:
- AI isn't perfect: Responses may contain errors, outdated information, or biases
- Not professional advice: AI output shouldn't replace medical, legal, financial, or other professional guidance
- Your responsibility: You're responsible for how you use AI-generated content
Intellectual Property
Kani, including its design, code, and brand, is owned by HumanShip AI Lab. Your subscription grants you a personal, non-transferable license to use the application — not ownership of the software itself.
"Kani," the crab logo, and related marks are our trademarks. Please don't use them without permission.
Service Availability
We work hard to keep Kani running smoothly, but we can't guarantee uninterrupted service. Outages may occur due to:
- Scheduled maintenance (we'll try to notify you in advance)
- AI provider outages beyond our control
- Technical issues or security incidents
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
Kani is provided "as is." We don't make warranties about the accuracy, reliability, or fitness of the service for any particular purpose.
We're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of Kani. Our total liability is limited to the amount you've paid us in the past 12 months.
Termination
By you: You can stop using Kani and cancel your subscription anytime. Your locally stored data remains on your device.
By us: We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms or engage in conduct that harms other users or our service. We'll provide notice when possible.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms as Kani evolves. For significant changes, we'll notify you through the app or email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the European Union and Spain. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Barcelona, Spain, unless local law requires otherwise.
