4. Free Tier and Paid Subscriptions

4.1 Free Tier

The free tier of the Services is subject to the following conditions:

Websites created on the free tier will be hosted on a Fynesites subdomain (e.g., yoursite.fynesites.com);
Free tier websites will display a “Powered by Fynesites” attribution badge, which may not be removed;
Usage limits on storage, bandwidth, pages, and AI generations may apply as described in our current plan documentation;
We reserve the right to modify, limit, or discontinue the free tier at any time without notice; and
The intellectual property provisions applicable to free tier users are set forth in Section 5.3 below.

4.2 Paid Subscriptions

Plans and Pricing. We offer multiple subscription tiers with varying features, limits, and pricing. Current plan details, pricing, and feature comparisons are available on our website and may be updated from time to time.
Payment. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize us to charge your designated payment method (e.g., credit card, debit card, or other accepted method) for all applicable fees. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide.
Automatic Renewal. All paid subscriptions will automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as applicable) unless you cancel before the renewal date. The applicable fees will be charged to your payment method on file. You may cancel auto-renewal at any time through your account settings.
Price Changes. We reserve the right to change subscription pricing at any time. For existing subscribers, price changes will take effect at the beginning of the next billing cycle following notice of the change. Continued use of the Services after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
Subdomain and Branding Removal. Certain paid subscription tiers include the ability to connect a custom domain and remove the “Powered by Fynesites” attribution badge. The specific tier at which these features become available is described in our plan documentation.

4.3 Refund Policy

All fees paid are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. If you cancel a paid subscription, you will continue to have access to paid features through the end of your current billing period, after which your account will revert to the free tier (subject to free tier limitations). No prorated refunds will be issued for partial billing periods.

5. Intellectual Property and Ownership

5.1 Fynesites Platform and Technology

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, including but not limited to the platform software, website builder tools, AI generation technology, templates, design components, user interface, logos, trademarks, and all related intellectual property, are and shall remain the exclusive property of NovamindAI LLC and its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in our intellectual property except the limited license to use the Services as expressly set forth herein.

5.2 Templates and Design Components

All templates, design components, themes, layouts, and pre-built elements provided through the Services (“Fynesites Templates”) are the exclusive property of NovamindAI LLC. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Fynesites Templates solely in connection with websites created and hosted through the Services. You may not extract, redistribute, resell, or use Fynesites Templates outside the Services or in any manner that competes with the Services.

5.3 User Content — Ownership by Plan Tier

For Paid Subscription Users: You retain all ownership rights in the original text, images, media, data, and other content you create, upload, or input through the Services (“User Content”). You grant Fynesites a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, and transmit your User Content solely for the purpose of providing the Services to you. This license terminates when your User Content is deleted from the Services, subject to reasonable backup and caching periods.

For Free Tier Users: By using the free tier, you grant Fynesites a broad, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, display, distribute, and create derivative works from your User Content and website designs for any purpose, including but not limited to operating, promoting, and improving the Services, creating marketing materials, and developing new features and products. This license survives termination of your account. You acknowledge that upgrading to a paid subscription plan will grant you the more favorable ownership terms described above for User Content created after the upgrade date.

5.4 AI-Generated Content

The Services may generate website designs, layouts, text, images, code, and other content using artificial intelligence (“AI-Generated Content”). You acknowledge and agree that:

AI-Generated Content is produced automatically and may not be unique to you. Similar or identical outputs may be generated for other users;
AI-Generated Content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or imperfections. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all AI-Generated Content before publishing or relying upon it;
We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, originality, or fitness for any particular purpose of any AI-Generated Content;
Ownership of AI-Generated Content follows the same tier-based structure as User Content described in Section 5.3; and
You are solely responsible for ensuring that any AI-Generated Content used in your websites does not infringe upon the intellectual property or other rights of any third party.

6. AI Data Usage and Training

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Fynesites may use de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized data derived from your use of the Services — including website structures, design patterns, content patterns, usage analytics, and AI-generated outputs — to:

Train, develop, and improve our AI models and generation capabilities;
Improve the quality and functionality of the Services;
Develop new features, products, and services;
Generate benchmarks, analytics, and aggregate insights; and
Conduct research and development activities.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to de-identify data before using it for the purposes described above. This data usage right survives termination of your account and these Terms. For clarity, this Section does not grant us the right to publicly identify you or attribute specific content to you without your consent.

7. Fynesites Branding and Attribution

Free Tier Branding. All websites created and hosted on the free tier will display a “Powered by Fynesites” badge and will be hosted on a Fynesites subdomain (e.g., yoursite.fynesites.com). These attribution requirements are a material condition of the free tier. Any attempt to remove, obscure, or modify the badge or subdomain branding on a free tier account constitutes a violation of these Terms and may result in immediate account suspension or termination.
Paid Tier Branding. Certain paid subscription tiers allow you to remove the “Powered by Fynesites” badge and connect a custom domain, as described in our plan documentation. Branding removal applies only to the specific subscription tier that includes this feature.
Showcase Rights. We may feature your publicly accessible website in our portfolio, marketing materials, or customer showcases unless you opt out by notifying us at legal@fynesites.com.

8. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy

Fynesites respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and will respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, SOFTWARE, FUNCTIONS, MATERIALS, AI-GENERATED CONTENT, TEMPLATES, AND INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH OR PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL NOVAMINDAI LLC, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “FYNESITES PARTIES”) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, WEBSITE DOWNTIME, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF THE FYNESITES PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE FYNESITES PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO FYNESITES FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00 USD).

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH A CLAIM IS BASED, WHETHER THE FYNESITES PARTIES KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Fynesites Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or related to:

We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. You agree to cooperate fully with our defense of any such claim. You will not settle any claim without our prior written consent.

14. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

14.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

You and Fynesites agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (a) either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property rights; and (b) either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for Disputes within the jurisdictional limits of such court.

14.2 Arbitration Rules and Procedures

Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by this Section. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. Arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be held in San Francisco, California, or at another mutually agreed location, or via telephone or video conference if the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is not necessary. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND FYNESITES AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, MULTI-DISTRICT, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief, then the entirety of this arbitration provision (Section 14) shall be deemed void solely with respect to that particular claim or request for relief, and the claim or request for relief shall proceed in court.

14.4 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to legal@fynesites.com within thirty (30) days of first creating your Fynesites account. Your notice must include your name, your Fynesites account email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration provision. If you timely opt out, you and Fynesites may pursue Disputes in court, subject to the governing law and jurisdiction provisions in Section 15.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any Disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. To the extent that any Dispute is permitted to be brought in court (including if you opt out of arbitration under Section 14.4), you and Fynesites consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and each party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

16. Modifications to the Services and Terms

Changes to the Services. We may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services (including features, pricing, and availability) at any time, with or without notice. This may include adding or removing features, imposing usage limits, or discontinuing the Services entirely. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.
Changes to these Terms. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by posting the updated Terms on our website and updating the “Effective” date at the top of this page. We may also provide additional notice via email or in-app notification. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Services and terminate your account.

17. Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the data handling practices described in Section 9 and any other agreements or policies expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and NovamindAI LLC with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether oral or written.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
No Waiver. The failure of Fynesites to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by Fynesites.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction and without notice to you, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
Force Majeure. We will not be liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, strikes, labor disputes, government orders, pandemics, power failures, internet disruptions, or third-party service outages.
Headings. The section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
Electronic Communications. By using the Services, you consent to receiving electronic communications from us. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.
