Terms of Service
Last updated:
These terms are an agreement between you and AVIZ (aviz.studio) (“we”, “us”), the operator of the service, about using AVIZ at aviz.studio, app.aviz.studio and in the AVIZ app for Mac (“AVIZ”, “the service”). By opening or using AVIZ you accept them. If you don’t, please don’t use the service.
1. What AVIZ is
AVIZ is a tool that runs in your web browser or as an app for Mac and draws visuals that react to music. The rendering happens on your device. Some features, such as cloud sync, use our servers.
AVIZ is in beta. Features change, and some described on the product page (for example 4K export, several outputs and team seats) are still being built. We’ll mark what is available in the app itself.
2. Accounts
You can use AVIZ without an account. You need one for the cloud and for paid plans. You’re responsible for keeping your sign-in details private and for what happens under your account. You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent where you live, to create one.
3. Plans and payments
Free costs nothing. Paid plans (Pro, Studio and the founder license) can be bought on the pricing page and in AVIZ.
Prices and what each plan includes are shown on the pricing page at the time you buy. Payments are processed by Perly Pay in stablecoins (USDC or USDT) on the networks it supports; its terms apply to the payment itself. Prices are in US dollars. You pay any network fees and are responsible for any taxes that apply to you.
In AVIZ for Mac from the Mac App Store, Pro and Studio subscriptions and the founder license are bought through Apple with In-App Purchase. Apple charges your Apple Account, Apple’s terms of sale apply, and prices are shown in your App Store currency. These subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in your App Store account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and refunds for all App Store purchases are handled by Apple. The plan works in your AVIZ account on every device.
Subscriptions are paid for each month or year in advance and renew until you cancel; depending on how you pay, you may need to confirm each renewal in your wallet. If a renewal isn’t paid, your account returns to Free at the end of the paid period. You can cancel at any time; the plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for. The founder license is a one-time payment of $128 for lifetime access to Pro for as long as we run AVIZ, offered only to the first 32 buyers; it covers one person and can’t be transferred.
Payments aren’t refunded, including the founder license, which is a one-time payment. That’s why every effect is in the Free plan: try AVIZ there before you pay. Stablecoin transfers can’t be reversed once confirmed on the blockchain. Where the law of your country gives you a non-waivable right to a refund, that right still applies.
We may change prices for future periods. We’ll tell subscribers by email at least 30 days before a new price applies, and you can cancel before it does.
4. Your content
Tracks, images, video, 3D models and other files you use in AVIZ stay yours. You confirm that you have the right to use them, including the music in videos you publish. AVIZ doesn’t check or license third-party music for you.
If you store files in the AVIZ cloud, you give us permission to store, copy and transmit them only as needed to run the service for you. We don’t look at them, show them to others or use them to train anything.
The visuals and videos you export are covered by the License for exports.
5. Acceptable use
Don’t use AVIZ to break the law or anyone’s rights, to upload malware, to attack or overload our servers or other users, to get around plan limits by technical means, or to resell access to the service. Don’t copy, decompile or redistribute the AVIZ app or its effects outside what the law allows.
6. Our rights
The AVIZ app, its effects, scenes, transitions, name and logo belong to us or our licensors. Some parts are open-source software under their own licenses, which ship with the app. These terms don’t transfer any of these rights to you beyond the right to use AVIZ and the license for your exports.
7. Availability and changes
We work to keep AVIZ running, but we can’t promise it will always be available or error-free, especially in beta. Keep copies of work that matters to you (AVIZ can export your library to a file). We may change or end features; if we end a paid feature, we’ll give subscribers notice and a fair solution, such as extra time on the plan or a pro-rata credit.
8. Liability
AVIZ is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits or lost data, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that can’t be limited by contract.
Flashing visuals can affect people with photosensitive epilepsy. Use strobe and flash effects with care in public shows.
9. Ending use
You can stop using AVIZ at any time. We may suspend or close access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, after telling you why when we reasonably can.
10. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of the place where the operator carries on its business, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection rights you have in the country where you live.
If something goes wrong, write to hi@aviz.studio first: we’ll try to resolve it with you directly and in good faith before either side goes to court.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we’ll show a notice in AVIZ or email you before it takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
12. Third-party software in AVIZ for Mac
AVIZ for Mac includes the NDI® runtime library and, in the version downloaded from aviz.studio, the Syphon Framework (© Tom Butterworth & Anton Marini, BSD license); the Mac App Store version doesn’t include Syphon. NDI® is a registered trademark of Vizrt NDI AB; NDI software © Vizrt NDI AB and its licensors. AVIZ is compatible with NDI and is not a product of, or sponsored by, Vizrt NDI AB. More about NDI and its free tools: ndi.video. The licenses of the libraries inside the NDI runtime ship with the app (Contents/Resources/ndi/libndi_licenses.txt).
For the NDI software included in AVIZ, you agree not to: modify it; reverse engineer, disassemble or recompile it, or the protocols it uses over a network or on your computer, or attempt to; get around its technical limitations; or remove, obscure or change any proprietary notices in it. Vizrt NDI AB and its licensors give no warranty of any kind for it and, to the extent the law allows, are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from using AVIZ. You must comply with United States export laws and regulations and must not export or re-export the NDI software in breach of them.
The effects with Chinese and Japanese characters use subsets of the Noto Sans CJK and Noto Serif CJK fonts (© 2014–2024 Adobe), in the web app and in AVIZ for Mac alike. They are licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1; the licence text is served with the fonts (assets/fonts/cjk/OFL.txt).
13. If you got AVIZ for Mac from the Mac App Store
These terms also serve as the end-user license agreement for AVIZ for Mac from the Mac App Store (the “App”). For the App:
- Who the agreement is with. This agreement is between you and us, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content. It doesn’t override the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- License. You get a limited, non-transferable license to use the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as allowed by those Usage Rules (including Family Sharing).
- Support. We alone provide maintenance and support for the App (hi@aviz.studio). Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support for it.
- Warranty. We alone are responsible for any warranties that the law gives you and that aren’t effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to such a warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid for the App (if any). To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App; any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses caused by a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility.
- Claims about the App. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party about the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws. Nothing in these terms limits our liability to you beyond what the law allows.
- Intellectual property. If a third party claims that the App or your possession and use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
- Export and sanctions. You confirm that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that the U.S. Government has designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party terms. When you use the App you must comply with any third-party terms that apply to that use, for example those of your internet or network provider.
- Developer. The App is provided by AVIZ (aviz.studio). Questions, complaints or claims about the App: hi@aviz.studio.
- Apple as third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, and once you accept it Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce it against you as a third-party beneficiary.
If these terms and this section conflict about the App, this section applies.
