Terms of Service
Last updated September 2026
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using vyds ("the Service"), operated by vyds ("we," "our," or "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. These Terms apply to the web application at vyds.io, the desktop applications for macOS and Windows, and the Chrome browser extension.
Description of Service
vyds is a screen recording platform that allows you to record your screen, webcam, and audio, edit recordings, and share them via links. The Service includes a Chrome browser extension, desktop applications for macOS and Windows, a web-based video player and editor, and workspace and team collaboration features. We may update, modify, or discontinue features of the Service at any time.
User Accounts
You must create an account to use most features of the Service. You authenticate through Google OAuth and are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. You must provide accurate information and keep your account details up to date. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
Workspaces and Workspace Administrators
Workspaces. Paid plans may include workspace features that let multiple accounts ("members") join a shared workspace managed by one or more designated administrators ("workspace admins"). If you create or administer a workspace on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" in this section and in the Indemnification section includes that organization. A workspace may be organized into smaller groups called "teams"; the administrator powers in these Terms operate at the workspace level.
Workspace admin authority. Workspace admins may invite and remove members, manage seats and billing, and take the administrative actions described in these Terms. Workspace admins act on behalf of their organization, and the organization is responsible for the actions its workspace admins take in the Service.
Account lock (domain-based access revocation). When a member leaves an organization, a workspace admin may remove the member from the workspace. For accounts registered under an email domain the organization owns or controls, the workspace admin may instead lock the account. Locking an account: (a) disables sign-in to that account; (b) makes all of the account's videos private by revoking active sharing links; and (c) transfers the account's videos, including videos never shared with the workspace, to a workspace member the admin designates. Account locking exists solely to revoke access to accounts created with an organization-owned domain, for example when an employee departs. It is not available for personal email domains.
Domain authority attestation. Before locking an account, the workspace admin must complete an attestation confirming that the email domain of the affected account is owned by the admin's organization and that the admin has authority to revoke access for accounts created with that domain. By completing the attestation, the workspace admin and their organization represent and warrant that: (a) the asserted domain is owned or controlled by the organization; (b) the admin is authorized by the organization to revoke access for accounts under that domain; and (c) the information provided in the attestation is accurate. We record each attestation, including the admin's identity, the asserted domain, and a timestamp, and we rely on it in performing the lock. We do not independently verify domain ownership before acting on an attestation.
Member acknowledgment. If you create an account with, or join a workspace using, an email address at a domain owned or controlled by an organization, you acknowledge that the organization may revoke your access to that account and take custody of content stored in it through the account-lock process described above, and that the 30-day export window described in the Termination section does not apply to content transferred through an account lock. Keep personal content in a personal account registered to an email address you control.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Upload, share, or distribute illegal, harmful, or objectionable content

Intellectual Property
Your content: You retain all ownership rights to recordings and content you create using the Service. By uploading content to vyds, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and deliver your content as necessary to provide the Service. We do not claim ownership of your recordings.
Our service: The Service, including its design, features, code, and documentation, is owned by vyds and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or reverse-engineer any part of the Service.
Payment and Billing
vyds offers a free tier and paid subscription plans. All payments are processed through Stripe. Paid plans are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) and automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to paid features until then. Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact us at billing@vyds.io for billing inquiries.
Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless vyds from and against any claims arising out of or related to content you upload to the Service, your use of the Service in violation of these Terms, or your violation of applicable law.
Domain attestation indemnity. If you are a workspace admin who makes a domain authority attestation, or an organization on whose behalf one is made, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless vyds and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, demands, disputes, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to: (a) any inaccuracy in a domain authority attestation; (b) any account lock or related action we take in reliance on an attestation, including claims of wrongful access revocation, data loss, content transfer, or unauthorized account closure; or (c) any dispute between the organization and a member whose account was locked. The organization and the attesting workspace admin are jointly and severally responsible for this obligation.
Procedure. We will notify you promptly of any claim subject to this section. You may control the defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to us, and we may participate in the defense at our own expense. You may not settle any claim in a way that imposes obligations on vyds or admits fault on our behalf without our prior written consent.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, vyds shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
Termination
You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or through your account settings. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or if we reasonably believe your use of the Service poses a risk to us, other users, or third parties. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We will retain your data for 30 days after termination to allow you to export your recordings, after which it will be permanently deleted.
Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination continue to apply after termination, including the domain authority attestation representations and warranties, the Indemnification section, the Limitation of Liability section, and the Governing Law section. These survive termination of your account, termination or expiration of any workspace subscription, and any termination of these Terms.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. If we make significant changes, we will notify you via email or through the Service. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts located in Delaware.
