Last updated: January 24, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you (“you”) and maxly LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of lmcanvas.ai and any related websites, applications, interfaces, or services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
The Services are intended for users aged 13 or older. If you are under the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have a parent or legal guardian review and accept these Terms on your behalf.

2. Description of the Services
The Services provide an AI-powered collaborative conversation and content workspace. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable law and does not require us to comply with industry-specific regulations (including but not limited to HIPAA, FISMA, PCI-DSS, or GLBA). You must not use the Services to store or process regulated, classified, or highly sensitive data.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time without liability, except as required by law.
3. Intellectual Property Rights
3.1 Our Rights
We own (or are licensed to use) all rights in and to the Services and related materials, including software, source code, databases, designs, UI/UX, text, graphics, audio, video, and trademarks (“Company Content” and “Marks”). Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of Company Content. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
3.2 Your Rights — You Own Your Content
“Contributions” means content you upload, submit, create, or generate within the Services, including prompts, text, data, and (if enabled in the future) file uploads.
You retain ownership of all Contributions.
You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, process, reproduce, transmit, display, and create derivative works of your Contributions solely as necessary to operate, maintain, and improve the Services and as permitted by your account settings.
We do not sell your Contributions or use them for advertising.
3.3 Feedback Assigned to Us
If you submit suggestions, ideas, feature requests, bug reports, or other feedback (“Feedback”), you agree that all rights in the Feedback are automatically and irrevocably assigned to us, and we may use it freely without attribution or compensation.
4. User Accounts
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. We may refuse, reclaim, or remove usernames that violate our policies or legal requirements.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
5. Subscriptions, Billing, and Pricing
5.1 Billing
Some features require a paid subscription. By subscribing, you authorize us (or our payment processor, such as Stripe) to charge your payment method automatically on a recurring basis until canceled.
5.2 Cancellation
You may cancel at any time through your account settings. Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.
5.3 Refunds
Unless required by law, fees are non-refundable.
5.4 Pricing Changes
We may change subscription pricing with notice provided via email or in-app communication. Continued use of the Services after notice constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
We reserve the right to correct pricing errors at any time.
5.5 Free Tier & Usage Limits
Free tier users receive a limited number of requests per day (varies by model type: Basic or Premium). Daily limits reset at midnight UTC each day.
All users (including free tier and paid subscribers) are subject to a monthly cost cap. Once your cumulative usage costs for free tier requests reach the monthly cap, you will have reached your monthly limit. Monthly limits reset on the first day of each calendar month.
Free Tier: Free tier users are subject to both daily request limits and a monthly cost cap ($5.00 USD per month). When either limit is exceeded, you may upgrade to a paid subscription plan or wait until the limit resets.
Paid Tiers (Plus and Pro): Paid subscribers are only subject to a monthly cost cap (Plus: $10.00 USD per month, Pro: $20.00 USD per month). Paid tiers do not have daily request quotas. When your monthly cost cap is exceeded, you may:
- Enable usage-based billing (available for Plus and Pro subscribers)
- Add your own API keys (available for Plus and Pro subscribers)
- Wait until the monthly limit resets (on the first of each month)
We track usage costs based on actual token consumption and model pricing. Costs vary by model type and request complexity. You can view your current usage and remaining limits in your account dashboard.
5.6 Usage Based Billing
Paid subscribers (Plus and Pro tiers) may optionally enable usage-based billing. When enabled, once you exceed your monthly cost cap, additional usage will be billed incrementally based on actual costs.
Usage-based billing charges are calculated based on:
- Token usage (input and output tokens)
- Model pricing (varies by model provider and type)
- Any applicable upcharges or margins
Charges are billed in minimum increments of $0.01 USD per request. Requests with costs below $0.01 are not charged. Usage-based billing charges are added to your subscription billing cycle and will appear on your next invoice.
You may enable or disable usage-based billing at any time through your account settings. When disabled, you will be subject to the standard free tier limits described in Section 5.5.
