Terms
Vibe analyses the product you connect and can prepare improvements to it. You decide what happens to your code — nothing reaches the branch you ship from unless you approve it.
Vibe Business is in early development and this document is a working draft, not finished legal advice. The following still needs to be filled in before public launch:
- The name and registered address of the company providing the service
- Which country's law governs these terms and where disputes are handled
- Pricing, billing and refund terms once the product is paid for
- Notice periods for changes to the service or to these terms
- A support contact and any response commitments
What this service is
Vibe Business analyses a software product you already built, assesses how business-ready it is, suggests what to improve first, and — for the kinds of improvement it supports — prepares those changes for you to review.
It is early-stage software. Features change, and some analyses may be unavailable or incomplete depending on what evidence your project provides. Vibe tells you when it could not assess something rather than guessing.
Your account and your project
You are responsible for:
- keeping your sign-in details to yourself;
- only connecting repositories you own, or that you are authorised by their owner to connect;
- only giving Vibe a live address for a product you are entitled to have analysed.
What Vibe will and will not do to your code
- Anything Vibe prepares is written to its own separate branch. Vibe never writes to the branch you ship from without an approval.
- The branch you ship from is only updated after you approve one specific reviewed change, and only if the repository has not moved since — if it has, Vibe stops and tells you rather than merging around the difference.
- Vibe never rewrites history, never force-updates a branch, and never deletes one.
- Vibe does not deploy your product. But updating the branch you ship from may start your own deployment pipeline, if you have one. That consequence is yours, and Vibe says so before you approve.
Advice, not guarantees
What Vibe concludes about your business is analysis, not a promise about outcomes. Vibe does not guarantee revenue, traffic, search rankings, customers, or that following its suggestions will improve any of them. Decisions about your product remain yours, and you are expected to review a change before approving it.
Checks that a prepared change builds and passes your project's own commands are evidence that those commands succeeded in an isolated environment. They are not a statement that the change is correct, safe, or ready for your customers.
Acceptable use
Do not use Vibe to analyse products you have no right to, to attempt to reach systems you do not control, or to work around the approval steps described above. Vibe may suspend access where it reasonably believes this is happening.
Availability and liability
The service is provided as it is, without warranty, and may be unavailable, interrupted or changed. To the fullest extent the applicable law allows, Vibe Business is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of it. The precise limits, and the law that applies to them, are among the items still to be completed above.
Ending it
You can stop using Vibe at any time, remove its access from your GitHub settings, and disconnect repositories from inside the product. We may end or suspend access where these terms are broken.
Changes
These terms will change as the product does. The date at the top is when they last changed. See also the privacy notice.
