Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 2026

Welcome to Apphive. These Terms & Conditions and Privacy Notice (together, the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Apphive platform, websites, editor, marketplace and related services (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Terms of Use

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Service with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Keep your password confidential, do not share your access with others, and notify us promptly at support@apphive.io if you suspect any unauthorized use. We are not liable for any loss arising from your failure to protect your account.

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You will not misuse the Service, attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer it, upload malicious code, infringe the rights of others, or use it to create applications that are illegal, fraudulent, harmful, or that violate the policies of Apple, Google or any other distribution platform.

You may not copy, resell, sublicense or redistribute the Apphive platform itself, its software, source code or underlying technology. However, the applications you build with Apphive are yours: you are free to publish, distribute and commercialize the apps you create, subject to these Terms and the rules of the relevant app stores.

2. Intellectual Property

The Apphive platform — including its software, design, user interface, documentation, trademarks, logos and all related content — is owned by Apphive or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership of the platform itself.

Content you create or upload (your designs, data, text, images and applications, your “User Content”) remains yours. By using the Service, you grant Apphive a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process and display your User Content solely as necessary to operate, maintain and improve the Service and to provide it to you.

Templates available in Apphive are a starting point — a foundation to accelerate your project — and not a finished or guaranteed application. Templates are non-refundable, and each template purchase is limited to one use per account. You are responsible for customizing, completing and testing any template before publishing it.

3. Plans & Billing

Apphive offers a free tier intended for building, designing and validating your application at no cost. To publish your app to the stores you must subscribe to a paid plan:

  • Premium — lets you publish your app to the Google Play Store (Android).
  • Unlimited — lets you publish your app to both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store (Android and iOS).

Apphive applications use Firebase, provided by Google, as their backend infrastructure. The availability, performance and continuity of backend services therefore depend on Google and its terms. Apphive is not responsible for outages, limitations or changes introduced by Google or other third-party providers.

4. Cancellation & Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account at Account → Billing → Cancel subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you retain access to paid features until then, and you will not be charged for subsequent periods.

Monthly subscriptions are non-refundable. Annual subscriptions are refundable only if you request the refund within five (5) days of the original purchase date; after that window, annual plans are non-refundable. Template purchases are non-refundable, as described above.

5. Community Conduct

Apphive maintains a community for users to learn, share and get help. When participating, you agree to behave respectfully toward others. Harassment, hate speech, spam, and abusive or disruptive conduct are not permitted. We may remove content or restrict access for users who violate these standards.

6. Partners

Apphive may list or connect you with independent partners (such as developers, agencies or consultants). Partners are independent third parties and are not employees or agents of Apphive. Any agreement, contract or engagement is made directly between you and the partner. Apphive is not a party to those arrangements and is not responsible for the quality, delivery, payment or outcome of any work performed by a partner.

7. Privacy Notice

We collect the information you provide when you register and use the Service (such as your name, email address and account details), the User Content you create, and technical and usage data (such as device information, log data and analytics). We use this information to provide and operate the Service, authenticate accounts, process payments, communicate with you, ensure security, and improve our products.

We retain personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you may object to or restrict certain processing. Residents of California have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and to request its deletion; we do not sell your personal information.

To exercise any of these rights or to make a data request, contact us at support@apphive.io.

8. Special Geolocation Permissions

While you test or preview an application built with Apphive, the previewer may request and use background location permissions. This is used to let you accurately test location-based features of your app (such as maps, tracking and geofencing) under realistic conditions. Location data accessed during testing is used solely for that purpose.

You can revoke location permissions at any time from your device settings (for example, Settings → Apps → Permissions → Location on Android, or Settings → Privacy → Location Services on iOS). Disabling these permissions may limit your ability to test location-based features.

9. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). You and Apphive waive the right to a trial by jury and to participate in a class action.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@apphive.io within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, neither you nor Apphive will be required to arbitrate the disputes covered by this section.
