Terms.
Plain English.
The rules for using Lyba — accounts, billing, what you keep, what we keep, and how disagreements are settled. Read once, then get back to shipping. Effective 22 May 2026.
The agreement
These terms form a binding contract between you (or the company you represent) and Ovalay Digital Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (“we,” “us,” “Lyba”). By creating an account, installing the Lyba plugin, or accessing a Lyba review link, you accept these terms. If you accept on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind it.
Two roles matter throughout these terms. The Customer is the freelancer or agency with a paid or trial account. A Reviewer is the Customer’s end client invited to comment and sign off via a review link. Reviewers do not need an account and are not party to billing.
Your account
- You must provide accurate information and keep it current.
- You are responsible for safeguarding your password, API keys, and licence keys. API keys grant full programmatic access to your agency’s data — treat them like passwords.
- You are responsible for everything done under your account, including actions by team members and Reviewers you invite.
- Tell us promptly at review@lyba.io if you suspect unauthorised access. We will rotate keys with you.
Plans, trial, and billing
- Trial. New accounts receive 14 days of Pro-tier access free. No card required. At the end of the trial, write access (new projects, sessions, comments, approvals) is suspended until you subscribe. Read access continues.
- Subscription. Fees are billed monthly in advance in USD via Stripe at the rates published on lyba.io/pricing. You authorise Stripe to charge your nominated payment method on each renewal date.
- Upgrades and downgrades. Take effect immediately. Stripe prorates the difference.
- Cancellation. Cancel any time from the Stripe customer portal. Your plan remains active until the end of the current billing period. After that, write access stops and the account becomes read-only.
- Refunds. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. If we materially reduce the service mid-term, we will refund the unused portion on request.
- Taxes. Listed prices exclude VAT and other taxes. We collect them where legally required.
- Late or failed payment. If a renewal payment fails, Stripe will retry. If retries do not succeed within 14 days we may suspend or downgrade the account.
- Price changes. We may change prices on 30 days’ notice. Changes apply to the billing period after the notice expires.
Your content and client data
- Ownership. You retain all rights to the project URLs, comments, attachments, and other content you or your Reviewers submit to Lyba (“Customer Content”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, copy, transmit, display, and process Customer Content solely to provide and improve the service for you.
- No model training. We do not use Customer Content to train our own models. Comment text sent to the LLM gateway for classification is processed under a zero-data-retention arrangement.
- Reviewer data. You are the controller of personal data your Reviewers submit (their name, email, comments). We process it as a processor on your instructions. Our Privacy Policy sets the technical and organisational measures.
- Export. You can export your project, session, and comment data at any time. Email review@lyba.io and we will return a structured export.
Approval records are immutable
The platform is built around durable evidence of client sign-off. By design, approval records cannot be edited or deleted after they are written — this is enforced at the database level and is a core feature, not a bug.
If an approval was captured in error, the correction is a new approval (or a documented retraction), not a deletion. Approval records are retained for 7 years from the approval date as described in the Privacy Policy. Account closure does not delete them.
Reviewer access
- Review links use rotating short-lived tokens. Anyone with the link can comment or, if they hold a valid approval link, sign off. Treat the links like access credentials and share them only with intended Reviewers.
- We do not authenticate Reviewers’ identities. The Customer is responsible for sending links to the right people. Captured IP, user-agent, timestamp, and Reviewer-supplied identity make after-the-fact disputes addressable, but they are not a substitute for sensible link handling.
- You may revoke a session at any time from the dashboard. Revocation invalidates outstanding tokens.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use Lyba to host or distribute unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or harmful content, or content that violates a third party’s rights.
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the service except under a coordinated disclosure to review@lyba.io.
- Interfere with or disrupt the service, the underlying infrastructure, or other customers’ use of it — including circumventing rate limits or plan limits.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source from the platform except where this restriction is prohibited by law.
- Use the service to build a competing product, or scrape Customer Content that is not yours.
- Submit Customer Content that contains malware, exploits, or payloads designed to harm Reviewers or downstream systems.
Integrations and third-party services
When you connect Linear, Slack, or any other third-party service to Lyba, your use of that service is governed by that service’s own terms. We act on instructions you give through the dashboard — for example, creating an issue when you approve a proposal. We are not responsible for the third party’s availability or actions.
You can disconnect any integration from the dashboard. Tokens are deleted from our database on disconnection.
Our intellectual property
The Lyba platform — software, design, brand, documentation, overlay script, plugin, dashboard, marketing site — is owned by Ovalay Digital Limited and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use Lyba during the subscription period, subject to these terms.
Feedback you give us is welcome. By submitting it, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual licence to use it without restriction. We will not identify you publicly as the source without your consent.
Availability and support
- We aim for high availability but do not currently offer a contractual uptime SLA. Status and incidents are communicated by email and on the dashboard.
- Pro plans include email support. Agency plans include priority support. Both use review@lyba.io. We aim to respond within two business days.
- We may release new features, change non-core behaviour, or retire features. Where a change materially reduces the service we will give reasonable notice.
- Scheduled maintenance is announced where it is likely to be disruptive.
Suspension and termination
- By you. Cancel any time from the Stripe portal. For full account deletion email review@lyba.io.
- By us, for cause. We may suspend or terminate the account immediately if you breach these terms, present a security risk, or use the service unlawfully. Where the breach is curable we will normally give 7 days’ notice and a chance to fix it.
- By us, for convenience. We may terminate on 30 days’ notice. Pre-paid fees for the unused remainder are refunded.
- Effect. On termination, write access ends and the account becomes read-only for 30 days so you can export. After that, Customer Content other than approval and billing records is deleted. Approval records and billing records are retained as described in the Privacy Policy.
Warranties and disclaimers
We provide the service with reasonable skill and care. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is otherwise provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
Lyba is a workflow tool. We do not provide legal advice. Approval records produced through the platform are evidence of sign-off; they are not a substitute for a contract drafted by a qualified lawyer where one is required.
Limitation of liability
- Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be excluded by law.
- Subject to the above, neither party is liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility.
- Subject to the above, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the service or these terms is capped at the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred pounds sterling (£100).
Indemnity
You will indemnify and hold Ovalay Digital Limited harmless against third-party claims arising from (a) Customer Content you or your Reviewers submit, (b) your use of the service in breach of these terms or applicable law, or (c) your infringement of a third party’s rights. We will tell you promptly of any claim and let you control the defence and settlement, provided no settlement imposes obligations on us without our consent.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with them, except that we may bring proceedings for injunctive relief in any jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property.
If you are a consumer resident in the EU or UK, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-law provisions of your country of residence.
General
- Whole agreement. These terms (plus the Privacy Policy and any plan-specific documents) form the entire agreement between us on the subject and supersede prior agreements on it.
- Changes. We may change these terms. Material changes are notified by email or in the dashboard at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance.
- Assignment. You may not assign the agreement without our consent. We may assign it in connection with a corporate transaction.
- Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
- No waiver. Not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.
- Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control.
- No third-party rights. A person who is not a party has no right to enforce any term under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
