These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Ragondin Dev Inc. ("Kovata", "we", "us") governing your access to and use of the Kovata app and website (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use Kovata on behalf of an organization, you agree on its behalf and confirm you are authorized to bind it.
1. Eligibility & accounts
You must be at least 16 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You are responsible for the information you provide, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at fabien@ragondin.dev of any unauthorized use.
2. Licence to use the Service
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your and your organization's internal business purposes. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, or create derivative works of the Service except as permitted by law.
3. Subscriptions & billing
Kovata offers Free, Pro, Growth, and Enterprise plans. Paid subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play are billed by that store and renew automatically until cancelled; you can manage or cancel a subscription in your store account settings, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law or store policy, payments are non-refundable. Plan features and prices may change; we will give reasonable notice of material changes.
4. Your content
You retain ownership of the training content you create and upload ("Your Content"). You grant Kovata a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service for you and your team. You warrant that you are the author and copyright holder of Your Content, or that you hold a written licence from the copyright holder covering every use you make of it on the Service, and that Your Content does not infringe any third party's rights or violate any law.
Embedded YouTube videos. A training may include a video hosted on YouTube. Such a video is not part of Your Content: it is played through YouTube's official embedded player under the YouTube Terms of Service, it is not uploaded to or stored by Kovata, and copyright in it remains with its owner. You may only embed videos that are publicly available on YouTube and whose owner has not disabled embedding, you must remove an embed if the owner asks you to, and you acquire no right in an embedded video by including it in a training.
You are solely responsible for the training you create, upload, assign, distribute, or sell, and for its accuracy, legality, and suitability. Kovata is a platform that hosts and delivers content provided by its users; we do not author, review, endorse, verify, or guarantee any training content, and we are not responsible or liable for it. Any reliance on training content — including for safety, compliance, or regulatory purposes — is at your own risk, and you are responsible for ensuring it meets any requirements that apply to your organization.
5. Marketplace
The marketplace lets teams buy and sell training courses. If you list a course, you warrant that you are the copyright holder of every original material in it — its structure, procedures, documents, images, quizzes, and any video you recorded yourself — or that you hold an express licence from the copyright holder permitting their sale, and that the course complies with these Terms. You confirm this each time you create a listing.
Embedded YouTube videos are excluded from any sale. They remain the property of their owners, and the price of a course covers only the seller's original materials. You must not use the marketplace to sell access to YouTube videos or to any other third-party content, and a course whose value consists mainly of embedded third-party videos may not be listed.
Fees and payouts. Kovata retains a platform and processing fee of 30% of each sale; the seller receives the remaining 70%. Sales are processed and collected by the Apple App Store or Google Play, which remit funds to Kovata on their own schedule — typically around two months after the month of sale. Kovata pays seller earnings within 14 days of receiving the corresponding funds from the store, subject to any refunds or chargebacks the store applies. We may change the fee for future sales by updating these Terms. Buyers receive a licence to use purchased courses within their own organization and may not redistribute them. Kovata is not a party to the underlying content, does not guarantee any listing, and may remove listings, and withhold or refund related payouts, where content is reported or found to infringe these Terms or applicable law.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the Service, including: uploading unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or harmful content; attempting to gain unauthorized access or disrupt the Service; probing or scanning its security; scraping or harvesting data; or using it to violate the privacy or rights of others. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
7. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, and the Kovata name and logo, is owned by Ragondin Dev Inc. and protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the licence expressly granted above, these Terms do not transfer any rights to you. If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use them without obligation to you.
Copyright complaints. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, email fabien@ragondin.dev with the work concerned, where the material appears on the Service (training or listing title), your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised, and your signature. We remove or disable access to reported material, notify the user who posted it, and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
8. Third-party services
The Service integrates third-party services (such as app stores, payment and subscription providers, and hosting and content platforms). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.
YouTube. Trainings may embed videos from YouTube. Playback uses YouTube's embedded player, and the Service uses YouTube API Services to read public video and playlist information (such as title, duration and thumbnail). By using these features you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and the Google Privacy Policy applies to data YouTube collects during playback.
9. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kovata and its suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, or goodwill. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ragondin Dev Inc. and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, Your Content, your marketplace listings, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end access if you breach these Terms or where required for legal or security reasons. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including content licences you granted, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
13. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at the place where Ragondin Dev Inc. is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the competent courts of that location have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have in your country of residence.
14. App Store terms (Apple & Google)
If you download Kovata from the Apple App Store or Google Play, these Terms are between you and Ragondin Dev Inc. only, and not with Apple or Google. The app store provider has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the app; Ragondin Dev Inc. is solely responsible for the app and its content. To the extent required, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government restricted-parties list, and you agree to comply with applicable app store usage rules.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
16. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
