Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of Accend websites, accounts, downloads, applications, AI features, subscriptions, support, and related services. The services are operated by Mohammad Hassani d/b/a Accend (“Accend,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By using Accend, you agree to these Terms. If you use Accend on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.

Eligibility

Accend is intended for adults in the United States. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use paid services or create an Accend account. You may not use Accend if you are barred from doing so under applicable law.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate account information and to keep it current. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us promptly at support@accend.dev.

Products and license

Subject to these Terms, Accend grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Accend applications and access Accend services for your personal or internal business use. We and our licensors retain all rights in the software, services, branding, designs, and documentation.

You retain ownership of your writing, prompts, files, and other content. You grant Accend only the limited rights needed to provide, secure, support, and improve the services you choose to use, including processing selected content through optional cloud-backed AI features when you invoke them.

AI features

Accend products may include local and cloud-backed AI features for drafting, rewriting, proofreading, research, and related workflows. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your situation. You are responsible for reviewing output before relying on it or publishing it.

Unless we clearly state otherwise, Accend does not provide legal, medical, financial, tax, or other professional advice. You should not use AI output as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use Accend to:

• violate any law, regulation, contract, or third-party right;
• create, upload, or distribute unlawful, infringing, deceptive, malicious, or harmful content;
• access, tamper with, probe, or disrupt Accend systems, accounts, billing flows, rate limits, downloads, or security features;
• reverse engineer, scrape, resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the services except as expressly allowed by us;
• use automated systems to create accounts, abuse trials or promotions, or place unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
• represent AI-generated content as human-created where doing so would be misleading or unlawful.

Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

Paid plans, including Accend Pro, are billed through our payment processor. Prices, features, billing intervals, taxes, and renewal terms are shown at checkout or in the product. By starting a paid plan, you authorize recurring charges until you cancel.

You can manage or cancel your subscription from your Accend dashboard or the billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you will continue to have access to paid features until then. Except where required by law or expressly stated in a promotion, fees are not prorated or refundable.

We may change prices or plan features prospectively. If a change materially affects an active paid subscription, we will provide notice before the change applies to you where required by law.

Third-party services

Accend relies on third-party services for functions such as authentication, payments, cloud infrastructure, optional cloud AI processing, diagnostics, and customer support. Those services may have their own terms and privacy notices. We are not responsible for third-party services that we do not control.

Beta and future products

Some Accend features or products may be released as previews, betas, or early access versions. They may change, break, be rate limited, or be discontinued at any time. These Terms apply to all current and future Accend products unless a product-specific agreement says otherwise.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using Accend at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk for Accend or others, failed to pay amounts owed, or used the services unlawfully. We will try to provide notice when practical, but may act immediately when needed to protect users, systems, or legal rights.

Disclaimers

Accend is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, availability, accuracy, and uninterrupted operation.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Accend will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption. Our total liability for any claim relating to Accend will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the service giving rise to the claim in the 12 months before the event or $100.

Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Accend from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your content, your use of the services, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Disputes

Please contact us first at support@accend.dev so we can try to resolve disputes informally. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and Accend agree that disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, except either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court and either party may seek injunctive relief for misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized system access.

You and Accend waive the right to a jury trial and agree not to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative action to the extent permitted by law. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim must be brought in court and not arbitration.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the website, product, account email, or another reasonable method. Changes apply prospectively unless we clearly state otherwise and the law allows it. Continuing to use Accend after an update means you accept the updated Terms.
