Terms of Service
The short version. Async is free while in early access. Your work is yours, and work you do inside a company belongs to that company's workspace. Ink suggests and asks before acting. Your AI tools can never mark work done, delete it or message anyone. You can export your data or delete your account at any time. Do not use Async to break the law or to harm anyone. Nigerian law applies.
1. This agreement
These terms are an agreement between you and Adtivity Enterprise, a business name registered with Nigeria's Corporate Affairs Commission (BN 8814086), of 7 Ibiyinka Olorunbe, Victoria Island, Lagos State, Nigeria ("we", "us"), the operator of Async. They cover the Async website, web app, Mac, Windows and phone apps, and the Async connector for AI tools (together, "Async"). By creating an account or using Async, you accept these terms. If you use Async for a company, you confirm you may accept them for it.
2. Accounts
- You must be at least 16 years old.
- You sign in with your email address. Keep access to that inbox safe, because it is the key to your account.
- Give accurate details and keep them current. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
- Tell us at once at heyink.async@gmail.com if you think someone else has used it.
3. Price and early access
Async is free while in early access. Features may change, appear or go away while we build. If we introduce paid plans, we will tell you at least 30 days before anything you use starts to cost money, and nothing will be charged without your agreement.
4. Your content and company workspaces
- You own your content. You give us only the permission we need to store, process and show it to the people you share it with, to run Async. That permission ends when the content is deleted, apart from backups that expire on their own.
- Company workspaces. A company's owner controls its workspace: who joins, their roles, and its settings. Work you create inside a company belongs to that company's workspace and stays there if you leave or delete your account. It is then shown as "Deleted user".
- Owners and managers can read every project in their own company, as the Privacy Policy explains. They can never see your Personal space or other companies.
- Guests see only the projects they are invited to. Removing a guest ends their access at once.
- Your Personal space is yours alone.
- Leaving. You can export your data or delete your account at any time from Settings, and it happens at once. If you cannot use Settings, email heyink.async@gmail.com. If you own a company that has other members, hand over ownership first.
- Task text is stored. What you type into a task is saved as you wrote it. Do not paste bank or card details into a task.
- You are responsible for having the right to put content into Async, including details about other people.
5. Ink, voice and AI tools
- Ink suggests, you decide. Ink drafts tasks and changes from what you say or type, and shows you what it will do before anything happens. AI can misunderstand. Check important details such as dates, owners and amounts before you confirm.
- Voice is turned into text by our speech provider only while you hold to talk. See the Privacy Policy.
- AI tools you connect (for example Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT) act for you, within what you allowed: they read what you can see, log progress, post asks and answers as you, and propose changes. They cannot mark work done, delete, hand over or message anyone. You are responsible for what they post as you. You can disconnect them any time. The company behind each tool is responsible for that tool, under its own terms.
- Call notes. If you record a call with Async's call notes on Mac, you must tell everyone on the call and get their consent where the law requires it.
- No legal, financial or medical advice. Ink is a task assistant.
6. Using Async properly
Do not use Async to:
- break the law, or to harass, threaten or harm anyone
- store or share content you have no right to, or other people's personal data without a lawful reason
- record people without the consent the law requires
- try to get into accounts, companies or data that are not yours, or test our security without our written permission. If you find a security problem, report it to us as described in our security.txt and the Privacy Policy, and we will not treat a good-faith report as a breach of these terms
- overload, scrape, reverse engineer or resell Async, or get around its limits
- send spam through invites or notifications
7. Our service
- We work to keep Async available and secure, but it may sometimes be down, slow or changed. Early access features can change or be removed.
- We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts others at risk. Where we can, we will tell you first and let you export your data.
- You can stop using Async at any time.
- Async is ours: the software, design, names and logos, including Ink. These terms do not give you rights to them, beyond using Async.
- Feedback you send us may be used to improve Async, with no obligation to you.
8. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app or by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. If you keep using Async after that, the new terms apply.
9. No warranty
Async is provided "as is" and "as available", especially during early access. As far as the law allows, we make no promise that it will be uninterrupted or error free, or that it will suit a particular purpose. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law.
10. Limits on our liability
As far as the law allows:
- we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill;
- our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and USD 50.
We do not limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit.
11. Your responsibility to us
If you use Async for a company, that company agrees to cover our reasonable costs from claims that arise because its people broke these terms or the law while using Async.
12. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Courts in Lagos State have jurisdiction over disputes. We will always try to settle a problem with you directly first: email heyink.async@gmail.com. If you are a consumer in another country, you keep any right to bring a claim in your own country's courts that its law gives you.
13. General
If part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a term straight away, we have not given it up. You may not transfer these terms without our consent. We may transfer them to a company that takes over Async, and we will tell you if we do. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about Async.
