TERMS OF SERVICE

Last updated August 6, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you (and, if applicable, the company you represent) and Idol Software, a sole proprietorship operated by Robert Idol, doing business as Volly (“Volly,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of our website at volly.so, the Volly application at app.volly.so, any apps deployed through Volly (served at {workspace}-{app}.volly.so subdomains), and our API/MCP endpoints (together, the “Services”).

By creating an account or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you’re accepting on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company, and “you” refers to both you and it.

Volly is currently in beta. Some sections below flag things that are especially important to understand at this stage — please read SERVICE CHANGES, LIMITS & AVAILABILITY before relying on Volly for anything you can’t afford to lose.

1. THE SERVICES

Volly lets a team deploy, host, and share internally built tools and applications — static sites, prototypes, and data tools — and control who inside (or outside) the workspace can open them. Team members discover published apps in a shared directory and access them using their existing work login, without new passwords or public links.

Deployed apps are served as static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and similar assets) from Volly’s infrastructure at a subdomain we assign ({workspace}-{app}.volly.so). We don’t currently support custom domains, and we may change how subdomains are assigned as the product evolves.

2. ELIGIBILITY & ACCOUNTS

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. You’re responsible for maintaining the security of your account and any credentials (passwords aren’t used — sign-in is via Google or a one-time email link), and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@volly.so if you suspect unauthorized use.

3. WORKSPACES, ROLES & ACCESS CONTROL

Volly is organized around workspaces. Each user belongs to at most one workspace at a time. Workspaces have admins, who can invite and remove members, configure access rules, and manage published apps, and members, who can publish and use apps subject to those rules.

Onboarding review. During beta, we may review new workspaces before they become active, and we may decline to approve a workspace at our discretion (for example, if it appears to duplicate an existing workspace on the same company email domain, or looks abusive or fraudulent). We may also restrict workspace membership to a particular email domain, at that workspace’s admin’s request.

Workspace slugs and domain claims. Each workspace has a URL slug (used in app subdomains like {slug}-{app}.volly.so). When a workspace has claimed a company email domain — verified during onboarding — we treat that slug as part of the workspace’s identity and won’t reassign it except as described elsewhere in these Terms (for example, termination for violation).

Workspaces that haven’t claimed a company email domain don’t get the same assurance: the slug isn’t contractually permanent. If another company with a legitimate interest in a slug contacts us and the workspace holding it is largely inactive or otherwise provisional, we may resolve the conflict manually — reaching out to the current workspace admin, helping them choose an alternative slug, or reassigning the slug ourselves. We handle these cases individually and in good faith; there is no automated process or first-come-first-served guarantee for unclaimed-domain workspaces.

Access control is your workspace’s responsibility. App owners and workspace admins choose each app’s visibility (private to the owner, restricted to workspace members, or accessible to anyone with the link) and who can join the workspace. We provide the controls; you and your workspace are responsible for configuring them correctly. Volly isn’t responsible for content exposed because of visibility settings you or your workspace chose.

4. YOUR CONTENT

“Your Content” means anything you or your workspace uploads, deploys, or posts through the Services — including application code and files, README text, deployment notes, and comments on apps.

You own your Content. We don’t claim ownership over it. By submitting Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display it solely as necessary to operate and provide the Services to you and the people your visibility settings permit (for example, serving your deployed app to the teammates you’ve given access to, or generating an automated thumbnail screenshot of it for your workspace’s directory).

You’re responsible for your Content. You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit your Content and that it doesn’t violate these Terms, infringe anyone else’s rights, or violate applicable law. Deployed apps run in visitors’ browsers and may make their own network requests to third-party services of your choosing — you’re responsible for what your deployed apps do and where they send data, just as you would be if you hosted them yourself.

5. ACCEPTABLE USE

You agree not to use the Services to:

  • Upload or deploy content that is illegal, fraudulent, or infringes someone else’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
  • Distribute malware, phishing pages, or content designed to compromise the security of any person or system;
  • Attempt to circumvent a workspace’s access controls, or access apps, data, or accounts you’re not authorized to access;
  • Probe, scan, or attempt to breach the security of the Services, or reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the Services (as opposed to Content you’re authorized to access);
  • Abuse or attempt to circumvent any usage limits we apply (for example, storage, file size, or automated-feature limits — see Section 8);
  • Resell or provide the Services to third parties as your own hosting product; or
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services.

We may investigate suspected violations and take action as described in Section 12, including removing Content or suspending accounts.

6. API & THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS

Volly exposes an API (including an MCP endpoint for AI coding tools like Claude, Cursor, or Codex) that lets you authorize third-party tools to deploy or manage apps on your behalf, scoped to specific permissions you approve during authorization. Access tokens issued this way are credentials — treat them like passwords. You’re responsible for actions taken through the API using your credentials or those of a tool you’ve authorized, and for revoking access you no longer want to grant.

7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WE RELY ON

The Services depend on infrastructure and tools we don’t control, including Google (sign-in), Cloudflare (hosting, storage, and content delivery), Neon (database hosting), Resend (email delivery), and PostHog (analytics). We aren’t responsible for outages, changes, or data handling by these providers beyond what’s described in our Privacy Policy.

8. SERVICE CHANGES, LIMITS & AVAILABILITY (BETA)

Volly is in beta. The Services are provided on an evolving, as-available basis. We may add, remove, or change features, impose or adjust usage limits (such as file size, storage, app count, or automated-feature limits), or discontinue the Services entirely, at any time and with or without notice. We don’t currently commit to an uptime target or service-level agreement.

Because we’re actively developing the product, we recommend against relying on Volly as the sole copy of anything you can’t afford to lose. Keep your own backup of anything important you deploy. If we need to make a change that would delete or reset stored data, we’ll make a reasonable effort to notify affected workspaces in advance where practical.

9. FEES

Volly offers a free plan and paid plans (currently Team, billed per workspace via Stripe). Current pricing is described on our Pricing page and may change during beta; we’ll give advance notice before a rate change applies to your workspace. You can cancel a paid subscription anytime through the billing portal; access continues through the end of the period you’ve paid for. Continuing to use a paid feature after notice of a fee constitutes agreement to that fee.

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Aside from Your Content, the Services — including our software, design, branding, and the Volly name and logo — are owned by Idol Software and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms don’t grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding. If you send us feedback or suggestions about the Services, you agree we can use them without any obligation to you.

If you believe Content hosted through Volly infringes your copyright, email hello@volly.so with (a) a description of the copyrighted work, (b) the location of the allegedly infringing Content (e.g., the app’s URL), (c) your contact information, and (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized. We’ll review good-faith notices and may remove or disable access to the reported Content. We have not registered a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office, so this process is offered as our good-faith practice rather than a claim to formal DMCA safe-harbor status.

12. TERMINATION

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time by contacting hello@volly.so. App owners and workspace admins can delete apps they own or manage directly in the product.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, remove Content, or reject or deactivate a workspace, if we reasonably believe you’ve violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if required by law — and, during beta, for any other reason with notice where practical. On termination, your right to use the Services ends, though provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive (e.g., Sections 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16) will continue to apply.

13. DISCLAIMERS

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We don’t warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that Content will be preserved without loss. You use the Services at your own risk.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IDOL SOFTWARE AND ROBERT IDOL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) $100, or (b) the amount you paid us for the Services in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Some jurisdictions don’t allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

15. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify and hold Idol Software and Robert Idol harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your Content, your use of the Services in violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

16. GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by emailing hello@volly.so with a description of the issue. We’ll try to do the same with you.

Arbitration agreement. If a dispute isn’t resolved informally within 30 days, you and Idol Software agree to resolve it through binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer or Commercial Arbitration Rules (as applicable), rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies. The arbitration will be held in, or conducted remotely from, North Carolina.

Class action waiver. You and Idol Software agree that any dispute will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement (but not the rest of these Terms) by emailing hello@volly.so within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration.

17. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these Terms from time to time, indicated by an updated “Last updated” date. If we make material changes, we’ll make a reasonable effort to notify affected users (for example, by posting a notice on our website or emailing you). Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

18. GENERAL PROVISIONS

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements on the subject. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of some or all of our business. Our failure to enforce any provision isn’t a waiver of it.
