Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 16, 2026
Effective Date*: August 15, 2026

Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Platform Rules constitute a legal agreement between you and Lovable Labs Incorporated ("Lovable," "we," or "us") to use lovable.dev (the "Site") and other products and services made available on the Site, along with any associated apps, software, and websites (the "Services"). By using the Site and any of our Services, you:

  • Acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms;
  • Agree to be bound by these Terms;
  • Agree to our Privacy Policy; and
  • Commit to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

You may accept these Terms as an individual acting on your own behalf, or on behalf of a company or other legal entity. If you accept on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and in that case "you" and "your" refer to that entity. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice by email or through the Services before they take effect, except where a shorter period is required to comply with law or to address a security or legal risk. If you expressly accept the changes before the end of the notice period (for example, by clicking to accept them in the Services), the revised Terms will take effect as of the date of your acceptance. Otherwise, your continued use of the Services after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Definitions

When we use the following terms in these Terms, here's what we mean:

  • "AI Gateway" means our optional managed API service that lets you access third-party artificial intelligence models through our infrastructure.
  • "Credits" means the prepaid, non-refundable, non-redeemable units you purchase or receive to use the Services, as described on our Pricing Page. Credits are consumed as you use the Platform, Lovable Cloud, the AI Gateway, or other usage-based features. The value of a Credit and the rate at which Credits are consumed for a given action depend on your subscription plan and the feature used, and a Credit on one plan may not equate to a Credit on another.
  • "Customer Data" means any content, code, text, images, files, or other data that you input, upload, submit, host, or generate through the Services, including applications you create using the Platform. Customer Data does not include Usage Data or Lovable Materials.
  • "Infrastructure Provider(s)" means third-party providers of hosting, database, storage, networking, or related infrastructure services we use to provide Lovable Cloud (for example, Supabase).
  • "Lovable Cloud" means our optional cloud hosting and back-end environment, which may include database hosting, authentication, file and object storage, and API endpoints. Lovable Cloud may be provisioned on third-party infrastructure.
  • "Lovable Materials" means the Platform, the Services, the Site, and all related software, technology, documentation, tools, templates, algorithms, models, interfaces, content, and other materials that we develop, provide, or make available, together with all improvements, modifications, and derivative works. Lovable Materials do not include your Customer Data.
  • "Platform" means our software platform, accessible through the Site, that lets you create applications and websites by interacting with artificial intelligence.
  • "Third-Party AI Provider(s)" means external providers of artificial intelligence models or related services that you can access through the AI Gateway (for example, OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic).
  • "Usage Data" means telemetry, logs, performance data, usage metrics, and other technical data generated by or in connection with your use of the Services. Usage Data does not include Customer Data.

Your Account

Minimum Age

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Services. If you are under 18, you must have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Services.

Creation

To use the Services, you may need to create an account and provide certain information, such as your email address and a password. You agree to keep that information accurate, current, and complete, to update it promptly if it changes, and to allow us to use it to communicate with you about the Services. Notices we send using the contact information associated with your account satisfy any requirement to provide you with legal notice.

Organization Accounts

If you register or sign in using an email address belonging to your employer or another organization, we may treat your account as managed by that organization. Managed account administrators may access, manage, retain, suspend, or terminate the account and its contents, including any associated Customer Data. We will notify you when we treat your account as managed, or rely on the organization to do so where it has agreed to.

License to Use Our Services

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, revocable license to access and use the Services, as permitted in your subscription plan, for your personal or internal business purposes - including to create, deploy, operate, and make available the applications, websites, and other products you build using the Services, and to permit your end users to access and use those projects. This license does not give you any ownership interest in the Services or Lovable Materials, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by us. This license terminates immediately if you violate these Terms or your account is terminated for any reason.

License Restrictions

You agree not to, and not to allow others to:

  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or otherwise exploit the Services or Lovable Materials except as expressly permitted in these Terms;
  • resell, provide, or make the Services available to any third party on a service bureau or time-sharing basis;
  • share your account credentials or allow unauthorized access to your account;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code, models, or algorithms underlying the Services;
  • bypass or disable any security, usage, or access controls;
  • use automated tools (such as bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to access or interact with the Services without our written permission;
  • upload, transmit, or distribute any malicious code, viruses, or harmful content;
  • overload, disrupt, or interfere with the normal operation of the Services;
  • use the Services to harass, defame, impersonate, or otherwise harm others;
  • use the Services in violation of applicable laws, regulations, export controls, or sanctions;
  • use the Services in violation of our Platform Rules or any acceptable use policy we publish;
  • use the Services to generate or disseminate harmful, misleading, unlawful, or infringing content;
  • misrepresent AI Output as human-generated in contexts where it could cause harm or deception;
  • use AI Output without appropriate review in high-risk or sensitive contexts (including medical, legal, financial, or safety-critical uses);
  • extract, reconstruct, or attempt to determine model weights, training data, or system logic;
  • use our name, logos or other trademarks in connection with any product or service other than Services, or in any way that implies our affiliation, endorsement or sponsorship without us expressly permitting; or
  • use the Services, AI Output, or prompts to train, develop, or improve competing AI models.

Subdomain Usage and Management

Subdomains

If you use our Services to deploy applications or websites on subdomains under lovable.app (for example, [your-site-name].lovable.app), you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Lovable retains all ownership rights in the lovable.app domain and all subdomains.
  • We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to reclaim, reassign, redirect, suspend, or terminate any subdomain at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to:
    • enabling the subdomain to be used by another user or for another purpose that better serves the Lovable community;
    • preventing confusion, impersonation, or trademark infringement;
    • addressing abuse, policy violations, inappropriate content, or violations of our Platform Rules;
    • recycling inactive or underutilized subdomain names, particularly common word or single word subdomains;
    • technical, operational, or business reasons.
  • We will generally provide a 7 days' advance notice before reclaiming a subdomain to allow you time to transition to a custom domain or challenge the reclamation. However, we reserve the right to reclaim subdomains immediately without notice when necessary to address urgent issues, including but not limited to violations of our Platform Rules, legal requirements, security threats, or abuse.
  • You have no proprietary, possessory, or ongoing rights to any specific subdomain, and reclamation of a subdomain does not entitle you to a refund or any other compensation.
  • You should not rely on the permanent availability of any particular subdomain and should use custom domains for mission-critical applications.
  • All content hosted on lovable.app subdomains must comply with our Platform Rules.

Usernames

If you create a username on the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to reclaim, reassign, or terminate any username at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to: (a) usernames that are inappropriate, offensive, or violate our Platform Rules; (b) usernames that impersonate or could be confused with official Lovable pages, features, or routes (such as "home," "projects," "settings," or similar); or (c) usernames that impersonate another company, brand, or individual. You have no proprietary or ongoing rights to any specific username, and reclamation of a username does not entitle you to a refund or any other compensation.

Subscriptions, Fees, and Payments

Subscriptions

You can use the Platform under a free or paid plan, as described on our Pricing Page. Paid plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis and renew automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date in your account settings. Plan limits (for example, seats, features, or usage thresholds) are described on our Pricing Page and may change from time to time. Except where required by law, subscription fees are non-refundable.

Credits

The Credits we offer, their prices, the Services they apply to, and how they roll over, expire, or are forfeited are described on our Pricing Page. Credits are prepaid and, except where required by law, non-refundable, and non-redeemable for cash or any value; they represent only a limited license to access the Services and are not deposits, stored value, or financial instruments. Paid Credits may be used only while your subscription is active. If you cancel or your subscription otherwise ends but you have rolled-over Credits remaining, those Credits are frozen and remain available for reactivation until their expiry; resubscribing reactivates them. Freezing does not change the expiry date of any Credits.

Purchasing and Auto-Reload

You may purchase Credits through Stripe or another third-party payment processor that we designate from time to time. By purchasing Credits, you agree to be bound by the applicable terms and conditions of the payment processor in addition to these Terms. You may also enable auto-reload so that your balance is automatically replenished when it falls below a threshold you select.

Invoices and Records

We send you a monthly invoice for your Platform subscription and top-up charges, based on the records of our third-party payment processor. We use reasonable efforts to meter usage accurately, though metering depends on third-party services. You agree that our usage metering, billing records, and our payment processor's records, calculations, and decisions about payments, usage, invoicing, and account balances are authoritative and, absent an obvious error, final and binding.

Taxes

You're responsible for all transaction taxes, such as sales, use, VAT, and GST, and any duties or government charges, that apply to your purchase or use of the Services, other than taxes based on our net income. Where tax isn't already included in the price, it's added and shown at checkout and on your invoice.

We calculate tax based on the information you provide (including your billing address and any tax registration number) and the rate in force at the time of the charge. You agree to keep that information accurate and current, and you remain responsible for any tax, interest, or penalties resulting from information that's incorrect or incomplete. Tax rates and rules change over time and differ by location; any change applies automatically to charges arising on or after it takes effect and is not a change to our prices.

If you buy as a business, you agree to provide a valid VAT, GST, or equivalent registration number where one applies. If you're exempt from any tax, you must give us valid documentation before the relevant charge; exemptions apply only from the date we accept it, not retrospectively. Where a payment processor or app store is required to collect and remit tax as the seller of record, its tax treatment applies to that purchase.

Term, Suspension, and Termination

Term

These Terms begin when you first accept them or start using the Services and continue until terminated.

Your Right to Terminate

You may terminate your account and stop using the Services at any time through your account settings.

Our Right to Terminate or Suspend

We may terminate your account or access to the Services for convenience by giving you advance notice, and we may discontinue or modify the Services, in whole or in part, at any time on reasonable advance notice where practicable. We may also suspend or terminate your account or access to the Services immediately, without prior notice, if we reasonably believe you have materially breached these Terms (including the License Restrictions) or engaged in fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity, or where we must do so to comply with law or to address a security risk. Suspension or termination does not limit any other remedies available to us, and you remain responsible for all fees and charges incurred up to the date of suspension or termination.

Effect of Termination

On termination, your right to access the Services ends. You remain responsible for all fees and charges incurred up to the effective date of termination.

Credit Forfeiture

If we terminate your account or the Services for your material breach, or for fraud or abuse, any remaining Credits are forfeited, except where applicable law requires otherwise. If you cancel, your remaining Credits remain available until the end of the then-current billing period. If we terminate for any reason not attributable to you, any remaining Credits are applied to fees owed through the effective date of termination, after which they expire.

No Refunds

Except where required by applicable law, all fees are non-refundable. Nothing in this section limits any statutory refund, cancellation, or withdrawal rights you may have as a consumer.

Service Dependencies and Availability

We provide the Services, including the Platform, Lovable Cloud, and the AI Gateway, using a combination of our own technology and third-party providers. These include Infrastructure Providers for Lovable Cloud and Third-Party AI Providers for the AI Gateway. Because we do not fully control these providers, we cannot guarantee the uninterrupted availability, performance, or security of the Services. You understand and agree that interruptions, delays, or errors may occur, and that we will not be responsible for issues caused by those providers or by events beyond our reasonable control (including force majeure events).

Beta or Experimental Features

From time to time, we may make features available that are identified as beta, preview, or experimental ("Beta Features"). Beta Features may be incomplete, may change at any time, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued without notice and without liability to you. They are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, and are excluded from any service levels, support commitments, and indemnification obligations. Beta Features may be subject to additional terms, which form part of the Additional Terms described in these Terms. Your use of Beta Features is voluntary and at your own risk.

AI Output

The Services may use artificial intelligence models to generate code, content, or other outputs ("AI Output"). AI Output may contain errors, inaccuracies, or other issues and should not be relied upon without independent review and testing. You are solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and using any AI Output, whether it is generated through:

  • our Platform's integrated AI;
  • the AI Gateway (via Third-Party AI Providers); or
  • any model or API that you connect to the Services.

You assume full responsibility for your use of AI Output and agree not to rely on it for critical or high-risk functions (including medical, legal, financial, or safety-related purposes) without appropriate safeguards. AI Output may be similar or identical to content generated for other users who submit similar prompts. We do not guarantee that AI Output will be unique, free of third-party rights, accurate, suitable for any particular purpose, or that it will build, repair, complete, or improve any application or project or achieve any particular result. Credits are consumed by each AI action based on the effort and resources used, regardless of the outcome, and are non-refundable and non-restorable even where the AI Output is erroneous, incomplete, or must be regenerated, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Your Content and Data

Rights in Customer Data

You grant us a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, process, analyze, and otherwise exploit your Customer Data for our business purposes, including without limitation:

  • operating, maintaining, and improving the Services;
  • developing and training artificial intelligence and machine learning models;
  • creating benchmarks, analytics, and insights; and
  • any other lawful business purpose.

We may use your Customer Data to develop and train artificial intelligence and machine learning models. You may tell us at any time that you do not want your Customer Data used for model training or the other business purposes described above, and we will honor that request for prospective use, free of charge and regardless of your plan.

We may also create de-identified, anonymized, or aggregated data from your Customer Data, and we may retain and use that data on a perpetual basis for any lawful business purpose; such data does not identify you and is no longer your Customer Data. This license is granted notwithstanding any confidentiality obligations in these Terms and survives to the extent needed to give effect to the purposes above. Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which governs and prevails over this section to the extent of any conflict.

No Sensitive Data

Unless your plan or a separate written agreement with us (such as a data processing addendum or enterprise service agreement) expressly permits it, you agree not to upload, input, or otherwise provide through the Services any protected health information subject to HIPAA, or other special or sensitive categories of data (including financial account numbers, payment card data, government identifiers, or biometric data). Our standard Services are not designed to serve as a system of record for, or to provide regulatory-grade safeguards for, such data.

If you provide sensitive data in violation of this section, you do so at your own risk, you are solely responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis and any required consents, and you agree to indemnify us for any claims arising from your submission of that data. We may remove such data or suspend the associated Services where we become aware of non-compliant use.

Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for your Customer Data and for the applications and projects you build, deploy, and make available using the Services, including for having all rights, consents, and a lawful basis for the data you process through the Platform, Lovable Cloud, the AI Gateway, or any model or service you connect, and for complying with the terms of any provider you connect.

Use of Infrastructure and AI Providers

The Services, including the Platform, Lovable Cloud, and the AI Gateway, run in part on Infrastructure Providers (for example, Supabase and other hosting or database providers). In addition, the Platform and the AI Gateway both transmit your inputs, prompts, and related data to artificial intelligence systems, including large language models and other machine learning models, in order to generate code, content, or other outputs. These systems may be provided by us, by Third-Party AI Providers, or by models that you connect yourself. We are not responsible for how third-party infrastructure or AI providers handle data under their own terms; their processing is described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of any Third-Party AI Provider through the AI Gateway, and of any model you connect, is subject to that provider's own terms and any region-specific or data-localization restrictions they impose, and you agree to comply with them. Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, we do not guarantee that data transmitted through the Platform or the AI Gateway will be processed or stored in any particular country or region. By using the Services, you consent to these transfers, processing, and storage.

Ownership

Our Rights

We (and our licensors) own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services and Lovable Materials. This includes the Platform, Lovable Cloud, the AI Gateway, the Site, all underlying software, infrastructure, technology, databases, APIs, models, algorithms, interfaces, and tools, and all improvements, modifications, or derivative works of the foregoing. Except for the limited license we grant you under these Terms, we reserve all rights in and to the Services and Lovable Materials. We own all Usage Data generated by or in connection with your use of the Services. We may use Usage Data for any business purpose, including monitoring, analytics, benchmarking, improving the Services, and developing new features or offerings.

Your Rights

As between us, you own your Customer Data, including the applications, websites, or other projects you build using the Services. As between us, you also own any AI Output generated for you through the Services, subject to any third-party rights in the underlying models, training data, or outputs.

Disclaimers of Warranties

THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE PLATFORM, LOVABLE CLOUD, THE AI GATEWAY, AND ALL AI OUTPUT) ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE AND OUR LICENSORS AND PROVIDERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE SERVICES OR ANY RESULTS YOU MAY OBTAIN. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL CODE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR INTENDED USE.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

  • your misuse of the Services, including excess or abusive use of Lovable Cloud or the AI Gateway;
  • your failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations;
  • your violation of the terms of any Third-Party AI Provider or Infrastructure Provider;
  • any content or Customer Data you provide, including claims of infringement, misappropriation, or violation of third-party rights.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR LICENSORS, PROVIDERS, AFFILIATES, AND OFFICERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DOWNTIME, FAILURES, DELAYS, OR OTHER ISSUES CAUSED BY INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS, THIRD-PARTY AI PROVIDERS, OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES; FOR ERRORS OR INACCURACIES IN AI OUTPUT; FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION BY YOU, YOUR USERS, OR ANYONE USING YOUR ACCOUNT; OR FOR LOSS OF CUSTOMER DATA, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them, the Services, or your use of the Services will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

You agree that the state and federal courts located in Delaware will have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Any dispute with us must be brought on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You and Lovable each waive any right to a jury trial in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services.

Survival

The provisions of these Terms relating to intellectual property, data rights, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, and any other terms that by their nature should survive, will continue in effect after termination of your account or these Terms.

Copyrights and Illegal Content

DMCA

We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). To report copyright infringement, or to submit a counter-notice, see our DMCA Policy, available at lovable.dev/dmca, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Illegal Content and DSA Contact Points

If you believe content hosted through the Services is illegal or violates these Terms, you may report it to us at abuse@lovable.dev. For the purposes of Articles 11 and 12 of the EU Digital Services Act, our electronic point of contact for users and authorities is dsa-contact@lovable.dev. Communications may be made in English.

Miscellaneous

Publicity Rights

If you are a business entity, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use your name, logo, and trademarks ("Marks") to identify you as a customer on our website, in customer lists, pitch materials, investor presentations, and other marketing and promotional materials.

You may revoke this license at any time by giving us written notice. After we receive your notice, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to stop using your Marks in new materials, but we are not required to recall or destroy materials already in use.

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to grant this license and that our use of your Marks as permitted here will not infringe or misappropriate any third-party rights.

Feedback

If you provide us with any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other information relating to the Services or our business ("Feedback"), you agree that we may use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, or otherwise exploit that Feedback for any purpose, in any form, and through any medium, without restriction or compensation to you. You also agree that we have no obligation to keep Feedback confidential.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Platform Rules and any additional, supplemental, or product-specific terms we make available or present to you for particular products, features, or services (collectively, "Additional Terms"), are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and understandings (whether written or oral) relating to the Services. Any Additional Terms are incorporated into and form part of these Terms when you access or use the applicable product, feature, or service. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms prevail to the extent of the inconsistency, solely with respect to the product, feature, or service to which they apply.

Assignment

You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction.

Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Export Controls and Sanctions

You must comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws, including those of the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. You may not use the Services if you are located in, ordinarily resident in, or acting on behalf of a person or entity located in, a country or territory subject to comprehensive embargoes or sanctions, or if you are listed on, or owned or controlled by a party listed on, any applicable restricted- or denied-party list. You may not use the Services for any purpose prohibited by these laws, or make them available to any person subject to such restrictions. You represent and warrant that you are not subject to these restrictions.

Notices

We may provide notices to you - including Service announcements and updates such as new features, changes, pricing updates, changes to these Terms, or other important information about your account - by email to the address associated with your account, through in-product notifications, or by posting on our website, and you consent to receiving these notices. Notices are effective when sent or posted. You are responsible for keeping your account email address current; if your email address is not valid, any notice sent to that address will nevertheless be deemed to have been sent and received.

All notices to us must be sent to the following email: support@lovable.dev

Contact

If you have any questions about these Terms or the Services, you can contact us by email at support@lovable.dev.
