Terms of Service

1. The agreement

By creating an account, joining a Coommit room as a guest, or otherwise using the Coommit website or product (the "Services"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms") and to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated by reference.

If you're agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to do so, and "you" in this document refers to that organization.

If you don't agree to these Terms, don't use the Services.

2. About Coommit

Coommit is a collaborative meeting workspace that combines video, a shared canvas, AI assistance, and action-plan generation. It is operated by TAAO, Inc., a Delaware C-Corporation, with a registered office at 1007 N Orange St, 4th Floor 5510, Wilmington, DE 19801, USA.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Coommit. If you are between 13 and the digital age of consent in your country (16 in most of the EU, sometimes lower per local law), you may use Coommit only with the consent of your parent or legal guardian.

You must be legally capable of forming a binding contract in your jurisdiction. You must not be subject to sanctions or trade restrictions that would prohibit us from providing the Services to you.

4. Your account

You're responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential, for everything that happens under your account, and for keeping your contact email up to date.

Tell us promptly at hello@coommit.com if you suspect unauthorized access. You can secure your account further by using a strong password and, where supported, OAuth-based sign-in via Google or GitHub.

5. Your AI keys (BYOK)

Echo, our AI teammate, runs on third-party large language models that you bring (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google Gemini). When you paste an API key into Coommit:

• You confirm you have the right to use that key, including under your agreement with the provider.
• You authorize Coommit to forward your prompts and content to the provider, on your behalf, using your key.
• You're responsible for any usage fees the provider charges you.
• You're responsible for understanding the provider's own terms, particularly around data use and training. We summarize this in our Privacy Policy §4.

Coommit doesn't train its own models on your data and never uses your BYOK keys for anything besides routing your own requests.

6. Your content

6.1 Ownership

Anything you create or upload in Coommit (canvas elements, transcripts, recordings, brain notes, files, messages) remains your content. We don't claim ownership of it.

6.2 The license you grant us

To operate the Services for you, you grant Coommit a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, copy, transmit, display, modify (for technical reasons like format conversion), and analyze your content, solely as needed to:

• provide the Services to you and other people you've authorized;
• improve reliability, security, and performance;
• comply with law.

This license ends when you delete the content, or when your account is deleted, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate purposes documented in our Privacy Policy (e.g., billing records).

6.3 Recording and consent

If you record a meeting, transcribe it, or use Echo on a call, you are responsible for obtaining the consent of all participants where required by law. Recording laws vary by country and by US state. Coommit displays clear visual indicators when a session is being recorded or transcribed, but the legal duty to inform participants is yours.

6.4 Feedback

If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use it without obligation to you. We may build it into the product or ignore it. That's our call.

7. Acceptable use

Don't do (or help others do) the following on Coommit:

• Break any law, infringe anyone's rights, or violate any contract.
• Harass, threaten, defame, or stalk anyone.
• Upload or share child sexual abuse material, content that promotes self-harm, terrorist content, or content that incites violence.
• Send spam, run phishing campaigns, or distribute malware.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services, other accounts, our infrastructure, or our sub-processors' systems.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except as permitted by mandatory law.
• Scrape, mass-export, or systematically collect data from the Services without our permission.
• Use the Services to compete directly with Coommit (e.g., to build a substantially similar product using our internals).
• Use the Services to generate, train, or fine-tune AI models that compete with ours.
• Misrepresent your identity or impersonate someone else.
• Interfere with other users' use of the Services (e.g., denial-of-service, abusive rate of API calls).

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules. We may report illegal content to authorities where required by law.

8. Beta status

Coommit is currently in beta. This means parts of the Services may be incomplete, may behave unexpectedly, may change without notice, or may be unavailable. We work hard to make it reliable but we make no guarantees during beta.

We may also collect more detailed diagnostic information during beta to fix bugs faster. By participating, you accept that some features may be removed or significantly changed before general availability.

9. Billing & subscriptions

9.1 Plans and pricing

Coommit is offered as a paid subscription. Current pricing is shown on coommit.com/#pricing. By starting a subscription you agree to be charged the price displayed at checkout for the billing term you selected (monthly, annual, or two-year upfront).

9.2 Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. Coommit never sees your full payment-card details. Stripe handles them under PCI-DSS.

9.3 Auto-renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each term at the then-current price. You can cancel any time from Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period and stops further charges. Annual and two-year subscriptions are paid upfront and are not auto-renewed without notice; we email you before any renewal.

9.4 Refunds

Monthly subscriptions: no refund for partial months, but you keep access until the period ends. Annual and two-year upfront subscriptions: we'll refund the unused portion, pro-rated to the day, if you cancel within 14 days of the start of the term. After 14 days, no refund is owed, except where mandated by consumer-protection law (notably some EU consumer rights).

9.5 Taxes

Prices shown are exclusive of applicable taxes (VAT, sales tax, etc.) unless stated otherwise. Where required, Stripe or Coommit will add taxes at checkout.

9.6 Founding Member tier

The two-year "Founding Member" tier includes a small set of exclusive perks (custom room colors, a Founding Member badge visible to your guests, a private founders' channel, and monthly 1-on-1 sessions with a founder). These perks are made available on a best-effort basis during the term you've paid for. If a specific perk becomes infeasible to provide (e.g., the team grows beyond 1-on-1 capacity), we'll provide a substitute of equivalent value.

10. Intellectual property

The Coommit name, logo, software, designs, and content (other than your content) belong to TAAO, Inc. or our licensors. These Terms don't transfer any of those rights to you. You may use the Services for their intended purpose, no more.

"Coommit," "Echo," and our logos are our trademarks. You can describe Coommit in writing as long as you don't imply endorsement or partnership.

11. Suspension & termination

11.1 By you

You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account. Deletion is immediate and triggers a hard-delete cascade of your content (see Privacy §8).

11.2 By us

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if we're required to by law, or if we discontinue the Services (we'll give reasonable notice in that case). For non-payment, we'll typically email you, allow a grace period, then downgrade or suspend the account.

11.3 What survives termination

Sections 6 (your content license re: existing copies in backups), 7 (acceptable use), 10 (IP), 12–17 (disclaimers, liability, indemnification, governing law, disputes, changes), and any payment obligations accrued before termination survive termination.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted operation.

We don't warrant that the Services will be error-free, that AI outputs will be accurate, that all features will work as expected at all times, or that data will never be lost. AI outputs are generated by third-party models and may be wrong, biased, or inappropriate. Treat them as a starting point, not as a substitute for human judgment.

Some jurisdictions don't allow exclusion of certain warranties; in those places, this section applies to the extent permitted.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Coommit (TAAO, Inc.) and its directors, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms, even if we've been advised of the possibility of such damages.
• Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) USD 100 or (b) the amount you paid Coommit for the Services in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations of liability, particularly for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or where mandatory consumer-protection law applies. Where that's the case, this section applies to the extent permitted, and our liability is limited as much as the law allows.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TAAO, Inc. and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of: (a) your content; (b) your use of the Services in violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) your infringement of any third party's rights; or (d) your failure to obtain consents required to record or transcribe meetings.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

If you reside in a jurisdiction (notably in the EU, UK, or Switzerland) where mandatory consumer-protection law applies, nothing in this section deprives you of the protections of that law.

16. Disputes

16.1 Informal resolution first

Before filing any formal claim, you agree to contact us at hello@coommit.com and attempt to resolve the issue in good faith for at least 30 days. We'll do the same. Most issues can be resolved this way.

16.2 Forum

Any unresolved dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, and you and Coommit consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If you reside in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction where consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring a dispute in your local courts, this clause does not override that right.

16.3 No class actions

You and Coommit agree that any dispute will be brought in an individual capacity, and not as part of a class, collective, or representative proceeding, to the extent permitted by law.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and notify registered users by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

If you don't want to accept the new Terms, you can delete your account before the effective date.
