6.3 Kodular Community

Kodular Community is a forum where users can ask questions, share knowledge, showcase projects, and interact with other members of the Kodular community. The Community is hosted on the Discourse platform and is subject to these Terms and any additional Community Guidelines posted on the forum.

6.4 Service Availability

We strive to maintain the availability of the Services but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may perform scheduled maintenance, and we will endeavour to provide advance notice when possible. Service status is published at status.kodular.io.

6.5 Free Tier Limitations

Kodular Creator is available at no cost with certain limitations on the number of projects, extensions per project, total asset size, and access to monetisation components. Current free tier limits are displayed on the Platform. These limits may be changed at our discretion. Premium subscribers are not subject to these limits. Where a paid plan removes a specific limit, this indicates the absence of a fixed numerical cap under normal use; it does not guarantee unlimited capacity, throughput, or performance. Our right to manage Platform resources, including throttling or restricting usage to maintain service stability, is described in the Acceptable Use Policy.

7. Intellectual Property and Ownership

7.1 Your Ownership of User Content

You retain all intellectual property rights in your User Content, including your projects, assets, and the Apps you create. Kodular does not claim ownership of your User Content. The relationship between you and the Platform is analogous to that between a writer and a word processor: we provide the tools; you own what you create with them.

7.2 Kodular’s Ownership of the Platform

Kodular and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Platform, including all software, tools, components, runtime libraries, user interface designs, documentation, and trademarks. The compiled runtime included in your Apps remains the intellectual property of Kodular and its licensors, but you are granted an implicit, royalty-free, perpetual licence to distribute it as part of your Apps.

7.3 Limited Operational Licence

By using the Services, you grant Kodular a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, cache, compile, and transmit your User Content solely for the purpose of providing and operating the Services. This licence is limited to what is technically necessary to deliver the Services and terminates when you delete your User Content.

7.4 No Other Rights

Except for the limited operational licence in Section 7.3, no other rights to your User Content are granted to Kodular. We will not use your projects, Apps, or assets for marketing, training, or any other purpose without your separate, explicit consent.

8. Open-Source Acknowledgment

Kodular Creator is built upon MIT App Inventor, which is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. This means:

Certain components of the Platform are derived from open-source software
The Apache 2.0 licence terms apply to those components and are available at creator.kodular.io in the relevant source files
Your use of the Services does not grant you any rights to modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Platform itself beyond what the Apache 2.0 licence permits for the original MIT App Inventor code

9. Premium Subscriptions

9.1 Plans and Pricing

Premium subscriptions are offered on a recurring basis at the prices and billing cycles displayed on the Platform at the time of purchase. Prices are denominated in euros (EUR).

9.2 Premium Features

Premium subscribers receive access to additional features beyond the free tier, as described on the Platform. The specific features included in Premium may change over time. Changes will be communicated through the Platform.

9.3 Billing and Renewal

Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis through our payment processor, Stripe. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may manage your subscription and cancel through the billing portal accessible from My Kodular.

9.4 Refund Policy

Refunds for Premium subscriptions are subject to our Refund Policy.

9.5 Subscription Use

Each Premium subscription is tied to a single Kodular account. You may not share your Premium subscription benefits with others by sharing account access or allowing third parties to develop their own projects under your account. Each person developing projects on Kodular must maintain their own account and, if applicable, their own Premium subscription.

10. Kodular Monetize

10.1 Overview

Kodular Monetize enables you to integrate monetisation features (such as advertising components) into Apps built with Kodular Creator. Use of Kodular Monetize is subject to a one-time activation fee and ongoing usage-based charges.

10.2 Activation

To activate Kodular Monetize, you must:

Pay the activation fee — a one-time payment processed through Stripe at the price displayed on the Platform at the time of activation.
Complete identity verification — you must successfully verify your identity through our verification provider. We may reject or revoke activation if verification fails or is found to be fraudulent. If verification is rejected, the activation fee is non-refundable, as detailed in our Refund Policy.

10.3 Usage-Based Billing

Once activated, you will be charged monthly based on actual usage events generated by your Apps. Usage events include, but are not limited to:

Ads served, clicked, or rewarded in your Apps
In-app purchases processed through your Apps

Usage charges are calculated using tiered pricing as displayed on the Platform. Invoices are generated monthly with the payment term stated on each invoice.

10.4 Payment Methods

Usage invoices may be paid using any of the payment methods supported on the Platform at the time of payment.

10.5 Overdue Invoices

If you have any overdue usage invoices, your ability to compile new builds of your Apps through Kodular Creator will be suspended until all outstanding invoices are paid. This does not affect your ability to access or edit your existing projects.

10.6 Payouts

Revenue earned through Google Ad Manager within your Apps is tracked in your Kodular account. You may request a withdrawal once your balance exceeds the minimum withdrawal threshold displayed on the Platform. Payouts are processed through our payout provider. To receive payouts, you must complete and maintain a valid payout profile.

11. Payment Terms

11.1 Currency

All prices and charges are denominated in euros (EUR) unless otherwise stated.

11.2 Payment Processing

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By making a payment, you agree to Stripe’s terms of service. Kodular does not store your full payment card details.

All prices displayed are exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for any VAT, sales tax, or other taxes applicable to your purchase based on your jurisdiction of residence.

11.4 Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we may retry the charge. If payment remains unsuccessful, we may suspend or downgrade your account until payment is resolved.

The Kodular Community is a forum for constructive discussion, knowledge sharing, and collaboration. By participating, you agree to conduct yourself respectfully and in accordance with these Terms and any Community Guidelines posted on the forum.

12.2 Community Content

When you post content to the Kodular Community, you retain ownership of that content. You grant Kodular a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, and distribute your posts within the Community as necessary to operate the forum. This licence ends when you delete your content, subject to reasonable caching and backup periods.

12.3 Shared Projects and Extensions

If you share projects, extensions, code, or other technical content on the Community, you are solely responsible for specifying any licence terms that apply. In the absence of an explicit licence, other users may view but not reuse your shared content. Kodular is not responsible for enforcing licence terms between users.

12.4 Moderation

We reserve the right to moderate, edit, move, or remove any content posted on the Community at our sole discretion. We may also restrict or suspend your Community access for violations of these Terms or Community Guidelines. Moderation decisions may be appealed by contacting support.

12.5 Third-Party Forum Software

The Community is hosted on the Discourse platform. By using the Community, you acknowledge that Discourse may process certain data (such as your profile information, email hash for Gravatar, and browsing activity) in accordance with its own privacy practices. We configure Discourse to align with our Privacy Policy to the extent possible.

13. Acceptable Use

14. Extensions and Third-Party Components

Extensions imported into Kodular Creator may be subject to review. We reserve the right to classify, block, or remove extensions that violate these Terms, pose security risks, or contain unauthorised monetisation code.

The Services integrate with or allow connections to third-party services, including but not limited to:

Firebase (Google) — for real-time database and authentication in user Apps

Your use of third-party services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. Kodular is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party services.

You are responsible for complying with the policies of these advertising networks and for including appropriate privacy disclosures in your Apps for your End Users.
