Terms of Service

Last updated:

Takes effect: [To confirm: The date these documents take effect]

Draft. This page was written from how Kivo works today and has not had legal review. It is not legal advice and does not by itself make Kivo compliant with any law. Items marked “To confirm” must be supplied before it is published.

Use Kivo to plan and track your own studying. What you write stays yours. Nova’s replies come from AI and can be wrong, so treat them as help, not as instructions you must follow. You can delete your account at any time from Settings.

These terms

These terms are an agreement between you and [To confirm: The legal name of the person or company that provides Kivo] (“Kivo”, “we”). When you create an account you are asked to agree to them, and you cannot create one without doing so; using Kivo means you continue to agree. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how it is used.

What Kivo is

Kivo is a study companion. Its companion, Nova, plans your day from your subjects, dates and time, times your study sessions, schedules reviews and shows your progress. You can use it in your browser, on Telegram if you connect it, and through the browser extension.

Who can use Kivo

[To confirm: The minimum age to use Kivo, and whether younger users need a parent or guardian’s consent]

Your account

  • Give an email address you can receive mail at, and keep your password to yourself.
  • You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us at [To confirm: A contact email address for privacy and legal questions] if you think someone else has used it.
  • Signing in keeps you signed in on that browser for up to 30 days. Resetting your password does not yet sign out other browsers, so sign out of any you do not trust.

Your content

Your notes, tasks, goals, subjects, saved pages and messages are yours. You allow us to store, process and display them, and to send them to the service providers named in the Privacy Policy (including the AI provider for the features you use), only to run Kivo for you. Do not add content you do not have the right to use.

AI and study guidance

  • Nova’s replies are written by an AI model. They can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Check anything important against your own course materials.
  • Plans, review dates and topic estimates are worked out from what you record and how you say your sessions went. They are estimates, not test results or grades.
  • Kivo is not medical, mental-health, legal or professional advice, and it does not replace your teachers or your institution’s rules.
  • Kivo changes your records only when you act or confirm. An AI reply alone never changes them: Nova’s plans for your day and the workspaces it proposes are applied only when you approve them.

Plans and payment

Kivo has a free plan. Pro, at ₹199 a month after a 7-day trial, raises how much you can ask Nova each day. Payment is taken by Polar. Whatever plan you are on, what you have written and recorded stays yours, and nothing is deleted when a trial or a subscription ends.

[To confirm: Pro’s renewal, cancellation, refund and tax terms, and whether Polar sells it as merchant of record]

Using Kivo fairly

Do not:

  • try to reach another person’s account or data;
  • attack, overload, probe or interfere with Kivo, or get around its limits;
  • collect data from Kivo by automated means, apart from the browser extension’s intended use;
  • use Kivo to break the law or to harm anyone.

Other services

Telegram, Google sign-in, Polar and your web browser are provided by other companies under their own terms. We are not responsible for them, and they may change or stop independently of Kivo.

Research papers and pages you import or open beside a note belong to their authors and publishers. Kivo brings in only what a source shares openly and shows a source inside Notes only where that source allows it; otherwise it opens in its own tab. Respect each source’s own terms.

Changes to Kivo

Kivo is being developed actively. Features may change, be added or be removed, and the service may sometimes be unavailable. We do not promise that it will always be available or free of errors.

Ending your use

You can stop using Kivo at any time and delete your account in Settings. Deleting your account deletes your study record with it, as the Privacy Policy describes.
