Terms of service

By accessing or using Kioku (the “Service”), operated by Jishu Labs LLC, you agree to these terms of service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. These terms apply to everyone who visits or uses the Service.

Kioku is a decision and context memory. You capture the decisions your team makes and the reasoning behind them, either directly or by pasting a rough note that Kioku structures into a record. You can link context to each decision, ask recall questions answered from your past decisions, browse a timeline and projects, and export decisions as architecture decision records. The Service is a web application at kioku.jishulabs.com.

• You must provide a valid email address and create a password to use the Service.
• You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure.
• You must not share your account or allow unauthorized access to it.
• You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.
• You agree to give accurate and complete information when you create your account.

The free plan includes a limited number of decisions with structured capture and AI formatting, with no credit card required. Pro is $15 per month and adds unlimited decisions, semantic search, the timeline, tags and ADR export. Enterprise terms are agreed separately. Paid plans renew automatically until cancelled; you can cancel at any time and keep access until the end of the current billing period. We may change pricing or limits with reasonable notice. Abusing the free plan, for example by creating several accounts to get around its limits, may lead to suspension.

You agree to use the Service in line with our acceptable use policy. In particular, you agree not to:

• Use the Service to break any applicable law or regulation
• Reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the Service
• Submit content meant to store or spread harmful, abusive or unlawful material
• Get around rate limits, quotas, authentication or security controls
• Use automated tools to access the Service beyond normal use
• Interfere with the integrity or performance of the Service

You keep all ownership of the decisions and context you capture in Kioku, and of the records and exports made from them. Kioku claims no ownership of your content, and you are free to use, change and export it. The Service itself, including its design, features and branding, is the intellectual property of Jishu Labs LLC.

Structured records, suggested tags and recall answers are produced with AI help and provided “as is.” Recall answers point back to the decisions they came from so you can check them. Review AI-assisted output before you rely on it for an important decision; you are responsible for confirming the reasoning, alternatives and context against your own records. Jishu Labs LLC is not liable for issues that come from relying on AI-assisted output without review.

Your use of the Service is also governed by our privacy policy. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of data it describes.

We work to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. It may be unavailable at times for maintenance, updates or reasons outside our control, and we will try to give notice of planned downtime. The status page lists the service components and how to report a problem.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Jishu Labs LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages resulting from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms will not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve months before the claim.

We may suspend or end your access to the Service for violations of these terms. You may delete your account at any time from Settings, which permanently removes all your data. When access ends, your right to use the Service ends with it.

We may change these terms. We will tell you about material changes by email or with a clear notice in the Service. Using the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
