Gouzi User Agreement

All personal creation features are free and local-first. Your first team starts a 30-day, 3-seat trial including the administrator. Expiry blocks new team operations, not existing data. Activate or renew with an activation code.

Teams are billed annually, with a minimum of 3 seats.

Configure your own cloud APIs and pay providers directly. Gouzi does not currently resell cloud credits or offer online payment.

Covers the Gouzi macOS app, gouzi.me, the standalone sign-in page, accounts, teams and online services. Team representatives must have authority and give required member notices. Users and teams are responsible for their content. Local-first does not mean every feature is offline.

New accounts use email and a 6-digit code, currently valid for 10 minutes and one successful use. An unregistered email creates an account after verification and agreement. Legacy phone/password accounts retain verification and migration access; linking email requires proof of the original account and does not automatically merge accounts or teams. A team activation code is not a sign-in code. Expiry does not create a new team or automatically delete local projects; personal creation remains free and team online features depend on service status.

Provide accurate, lawful information and protect verification codes, tokens, and activation codes. Trial length, device count, seats, and features are defined by the App, license record, order, or enterprise agreement. Do not share a code beyond its scope or bypass device binding, time, seat, payment, or security controls.

Projects, assets, canvas snapshots, private intelligence, semantic indexes, and API keys stay on the relevant Mac by default; API keys are stored in macOS Keychain. Local models use disk and unified memory and remain subject to their licenses. Keep independent backups of important .gouzi projects.

My Assets aggregates local assets from projects you open or allow access to, and files you add. Files, sources, thumbnails, favorites and indexes live outside the app bundle, consume disk and processing memory, and are not a cloud backup. Projects retain their own assets; aggregation does not share them with a team. Team sharing has separate access controls. Removing a project, a listing, library copies and backups are different actions; uninstalling the app does not necessarily remove them.

Only when you start a task are the required prompt, selected assets, settings, and context sent to your configured provider, or through an administrator's local-network gateway in team mode. Review provider terms and do not send personal data, confidential information, or restricted content you are not authorized to provide.

Administrators can set roles, model routes, backups, and enterprise-training policy. Under the current default, only accepted or 4–5-star team results, plus directly necessary source assets, may be encrypted and copied to the administrator's Mac. Discarded, rejected, 1–3-star, and personal-workspace assets are excluded. The organization must have a lawful basis and give notice; an admin default cannot replace consent required by law.

You retain rights in lawful content and grant only the limited permission needed for the action you choose. You are responsible for rights in assets, fonts, marks, voices, likenesses, personal data, and model output. AI generation, recognition, segmentation, transcription, and ranking can be wrong or biased and require human review before publication or high-impact use.

This permission is limited to what is necessary, while the service is operating, to perform the function you actively request. It does not include any right to exploit user content independently for commercial purposes.

A provider or Gouzi may show source or AI-generated notices in the interface, exported file, or metadata. Do not maliciously remove, alter, forge, or conceal legally required labels; disclose AI-generated content when publishing. Do not use Gouzi for illegal, infringing, fraudulent, child-exploitative, malicious-deepfake, impersonation, system-attack, or security-evasion activity.

Beta software may contain defects, performance variation, compatibility issues, or feature changes. We may restrict online features for security, compliance, maintenance, or material breach. Keep backups. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as is, but no limitation excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

We may amend these terms for legal or service changes. The amended terms will be displayed prominently on the gouzi.me home page or in the App at least seven days before taking effect. If you disagree, stop using the service and request account closure before the effective date. Continued use indicates acceptance only where lawful and does not replace any separately required notice or consent.

Mainland China services are governed by PRC law; mandatory consumer, privacy, and AI laws elsewhere continue to apply. Translations express the same intent; Simplified Chinese controls only where lawful and never reduces mandatory local rights. Material changes will be highlighted and consent requested when required. Contact us through WeChat gouzi-me.

For account, security, privacy, deletion or closure requests, contact WeChat gouzi-me and describe the request. Do not send codes, passwords, API keys or unnecessary projects. We verify identity and reply within applicable legal periods; team requests may also go to the administrator. No unimplemented one-click closure or immediate backup erasure is promised.
