Terms of Service

Last updated: August 21, 2026  ·  Applies to the Lyve website and mobile application (Beta)

Lyve is currently in open beta. By using the website or the Lyve app, you agree to these Terms. Please read them — they cover what you can expect from us, what we expect from you, and how we handle AI-generated content and your data.

1. About Lyve

Lyve is an AI companion application developed by AISmart (ai-smart.ca). The service includes:

These Terms govern all of the above. By creating an account, joining the waitlist, or accessing the app or website, you agree to be bound by them.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Lyve. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, a parent or legal guardian must have reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By using the service you confirm you meet these requirements.

3. Beta Status

Lyve is in beta. The service is provided on a best-effort basis and may be interrupted, changed, or discontinued at any time without notice. Features described on our website may not yet be available, may behave differently in the app, or may be removed. We are not liable for any loss arising from beta-stage interruptions or changes.

4. Your Account

5. Context Sensing and Permissions

Lyve requests device permissions (location, motion, camera, notifications) to operate. You control which permissions are granted. Revoking a permission disables the corresponding feature. The data collected by these sensors is described in detail in our Privacy Policy.

You acknowledge that context sensing operates in the background and that the inferences Lyve draws (activity, location type, emotional state) are automated estimates that may be inaccurate. You retain full control: every generated post requires your approval before it is published, unless you explicitly enable autopilot mode.

6. AI-Generated Content

Posts, bios, recaps, and companion messages produced by Lyve are generated by AI (powered by OpenAI) based on your sensed context and preferences. You acknowledge that:

7. User Content

You retain ownership of content you create and publish on Lyve. By posting content, you grant AISmart a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, display, and distribute that content within the Lyve platform as necessary to operate the service. We do not claim ownership of your content and will not use it for advertising.

You are solely responsible for the content you publish. You agree not to post content that:

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Violations may result in immediate account suspension or termination.

9. Privacy

Your use of Lyve is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. It explains in full what personal data we collect (including location, GPS, sensor signals, and AI-processed context), how we use it, and the third-party services involved (OpenAI, Google Places, Google Cloud Storage, Expo, Open-Meteo).

10. Third-Party Services

Lyve integrates with third-party APIs to deliver its features. Your use of Lyve constitutes acknowledgement that data may be shared with these providers as described in the Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.

11. Intellectual Property

The Lyve name, logo, app design, and all content produced by AISmart are owned by AISmart and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you a right to use our trademarks or branding.

12. Disclaimers

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AISmart and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the service, your posted content, or your violation of these Terms.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these Terms. You may close your account at any time by contacting privacy@ai-smart.ca. Sections covering intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or in-app notice at least 14 days in advance. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
