Terms of Service

Last updated: June 11, 2026

VibeVal is operated by DST Digital LLC ("we", "us"). By creating an account or calling the API you agree to these terms.

1. What VibeVal is

VibeVal checks software changes against IEC 62304 artifact requirements and produces a verdict, a generated rationale and a cryptographic attestation hash. It is a documentation and evidence tool.

VibeVal is not regulatory advice, not a notified body, and not a substitute for your quality management system. Validation results are evidence, not guarantees of compliance. The Quality Engineer or responsible person at your organization remains accountable for the final regulatory assessment and for everything filed in a Design History File.

2. Accounts and API keys

You need an account to get API keys. Keep your keys secret. Anything done with your key counts as done by you, including credit spend. If a key leaks, revoke it from the dashboard immediately. We may suspend accounts that abuse the service, attempt to circumvent billing or use it for anything unlawful.

3. Credits and payment

• Credits are prepaid, priced in US dollars and consumed per validation: $0.50 for Class A, $2.00 for Class B, $5.00 for Class C.
• Credits never expire and are tied to your account. They are not transferable and have no cash value beyond the refund right below.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store card numbers.
• If a validation fails on our side after credits were deducted, we restore the credits. Tell us and we will make it right.
• Unused credit balances are refundable on request within 60 days of purchase. Email us from your account address.

4. Your content

You retain all rights to the diffs and context you submit. You grant us permission to process them for the purpose of running the validation, including sending them to our LLM provider (Anthropic) to generate the rationale. We do not train models on your code and do not sell your data. See the privacy policy for retention details.

Don't submit content you don't have the right to share. Don't submit protected health information or other special-category personal data inside diffs — the service is built for source code, not patient data.

5. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the service up but offer no uptime guarantee at this stage. We may change features, pricing for future purchases, or these terms. Material changes will be announced on the site or by email. Credits already purchased keep the per-check pricing that applied when you bought them.

6. Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including regulatory findings, recalls or audit outcomes.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the state or federal courts located in Georgia.
