Paid subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel before the renewal date. You can cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our Property

The Service, including its original content, features, and functionality, is owned by Boston Venture Studio, Inc. and is protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

6.2 Your Content

You retain all rights to the content you share through the Service. We do not claim ownership of your content. We do not store or retain live screen, camera, or microphone content. Remote-room text chat messages are transmitted through the Service for delivery to meeting participants and may remain in participants' local browser cache on their own devices while the meeting is active. For supported direct file transfers, file bytes are sent between participants over direct peer-to-peer connections when available. We may process transfer setup, routing, authorization, and file attribute metadata to operate the feature, and browsers on sender and recipient devices may keep cached local copies of shared or downloaded files while the meeting is active. After a meeting ends, the application schedules that browser cache for deletion after a short post-meeting retention period, with an inactivity-based fallback expiry if the end signal is missed.

7. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand our practices regarding your personal information.

We do not warrant that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
• The results obtained from the Service will be accurate or reliable
• The quality of the Service will meet your expectations
• Any errors in the Service will be corrected
• Direct file transfer will succeed if the sender disconnects, a direct peer connection cannot be established, or locally cached file data is unavailable on the sending device
• Third-party meeting infrastructure will always be available or perform without interruption

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BOSTON VENTURE STUDIO, INC., ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
