Terms

This is a short page on purpose. Genba Studio is early-access software made by a small project, and a page of clauses nobody reads would be worse than a page of sentences that are true.

Who you are agreeing with

The Genba Studio project — the people who build and run this service. A registered legal entity has not been formed yet. When one is, its name will appear here and on the trademarks page, and these terms will be re-issued in its name. We would rather leave the gap visible than fill it with a company that does not exist.

The software is early access

It is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. It drives live production, and live production has consequences: keep a way to fall back, and do not put a show on air on a build you have not rehearsed on. To the extent the law allows, the project is not liable for what a broadcast does or fails to do.

The service and the software will change during the alpha. Features move, screens are rebuilt, and things that worked one week may work differently the next. Where a change breaks something you depended on, it will be written down in the release notes.

Your account

You are responsible for your password and for the machines you link to the account. Anyone holding a linked machine can put your graphics on air, which is why every machine is approved by hand and can be cut off from your account page.

An account may be disabled if it is used to attack the service or anyone else on it — brute-forcing sign-ins, hammering the download, or handing credentials around. That is the whole abuse policy. There is no quota to trip over and no automatic ban.

Your work is yours

Your shows, rundowns, graphics, footage and recordings belong to you. They live on your own machines. The project claims no licence to any of it, does not read it, and does not receive it — this service holds an account, not a workspace.

Money

Nothing is charged today and no payment details are collected anywhere on this site. When Genba Studio is sold, the price, what it covers, how renewals work and how refunds work will be published before the first charge — not discovered afterwards. Nothing you do during the alpha becomes a subscription by default.

Ending it

You can stop using the service at any time. Ask us and the account is disabled; see the privacy notice for exactly what is stored and what happens to it. The project may end the alpha, or an individual account under the abuse rule above, and will say so rather than letting a service quietly stop answering.

Questions

If something here is unclear or looks wrong, say so — during the alpha that is a conversation, not a ticket. Sign in and use the request form, which reaches a person directly.
