Terms of Service

This English version is provided for convenience. If it differs from the Chinese version, the Chinese version prevails.

Effective September 24, 2026

Welcome to KXBuild. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and kxbuild ("we", "us" or "our") that governs your use of the KXBuild software and related services. Please read them in full before you install, sign up for or use KXBuild.

Please pay particular attention to the terms shown in bold, including the disclaimer, limitation of liability, account termination, and governing law and dispute resolution. By installing, signing up for, activating a license code for or otherwise using KXBuild, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use KXBuild.

1. Scope

1.1 These Terms cover all of the following (together, the "Services").

  • The KXBuild VS Code extension and command-line tools, plus the components and updates they download and install (together, the "Software").
  • The KXBuild website and Dashboard.
  • The documentation, templates and samples provided with the Software or Services (together, the "Documentation").

1.2 The Privacy Policy, the plan descriptions on the purchase page, and any rules we publish separately for a specific feature are part of these Terms. If any of them conflicts with these Terms, the specific rules for that feature prevail. Purchases of plans and the use of credits are also governed by the Paid Services Agreement in the Dashboard.

1.3 If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have the authority to do so, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.

2. Your account

2.1 You must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority where you live. Minors may use the Services only with the consent and guidance of a parent or guardian.

2.2 Provide true and accurate information when you sign up, and keep it up to date. An account is for the registered person only. You may not lend, rent, transfer or share it.

2.3 You are responsible for keeping your password and license code safe. Any activity under your account or license code is treated as your own. If your account is compromised or your license code is exposed, contact us immediately.

3. Software license

3.1 As long as you comply with these Terms and pay the applicable fees on time, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable license to install and use the Software within the scope of your license, to develop, debug, build and release apps for yourself or your organization.

3.2 The scope of your license, including the number of computers and the term, is set by the plan you purchased.

3.3 Trial licenses are for evaluation only. To keep using the Software after a trial expires, purchase a plan.

3.4 The Software checks your license status online. You can keep working offline for a grace period, after which the Software must go online again to verify the license.

3.5 You may pass on unmodified Software installers obtained from official channels to others, provided you charge nothing, do not include your license code, and include these Terms. Anyone who uses the Software is also bound by these Terms.

3.6 The Software is licensed, not sold. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms.

4. Restrictions

Except where the law expressly permits it and that permission cannot be waived by contract, you may not do any of the following, or help or allow anyone else to do so.

  • Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, or attempt to obtain its source code.
  • Bypass, crack or tamper with license checks or other technical restrictions.
  • Sell, rent, lend, resell or share license codes, or use the Software beyond the scope of your license.
  • Modify the Software, create derivative works of it, or remove or obscure its copyright and trademark notices.
  • Offer the Software or Services to third parties as a hosted service or cloud build service.
  • Register accounts in bulk, abuse the service APIs, or interfere with or disrupt the Services. Using the Software in your own build scripts and continuous integration is allowed.
  • Use the Services to develop or distribute malware, or to develop apps that break the law or infringe the rights of others.

5. Third-party software and platforms

5.1 The Software includes or downloads open source and other third-party components. Each is governed by its own license, and where that license conflicts with these Terms, the license prevails for that component.

5.2 Developing and releasing iOS apps involves SDKs, development tools and services provided by Apple, and is subject to Apple's agreements and review guidelines. You are responsible for obtaining the right to use these tools and services lawfully and for complying with Apple's agreements.

5.3 KXBuild is an independently developed product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Apple Inc. Apple, iOS and Xcode are trademarks of Apple Inc. Other product names mentioned in these Terms belong to their respective owners.

5.4 When KXBuild runs as a VS Code extension, your use of VS Code is also subject to Microsoft's license terms.

5.5 Changes to third-party platforms' rules, APIs or systems may make some features temporarily or permanently unavailable. We make reasonable efforts to adapt, but we do not control and are not responsible for third parties.

6. Your code and data

6.1 The apps, source code, project files and build output you create with KXBuild (together, "Your Content") belong to you or your licensors, and we claim no rights in them. Building and debugging happen on your own computer, and you don't need to upload your source code to us to use KXBuild.

6.2 You are solely responsible for Your Content and its legality, including publishing and distributing your apps and your obligations to end users.

6.3 We use error logs and diagnostic information you choose to send us only to investigate and resolve issues.

6.4 We may freely use your feedback and suggestions to improve our products without paying you, but we will not disclose your identity as a result.

6.5 To learn how we collect and use personal information, see the Privacy Policy.

7. Updates and changes to the Services

7.1 The Software may check for and download updates automatically. Some updates are required to keep using the Services.

7.2 We may add, change or remove features. We will give you advance notice of material changes that affect the main features of a plan you have paid for.

7.3 If we decide to discontinue the Services entirely, we will give you at least 30 days' notice and refund the unused portion of any paid plan as set out in the Paid Services Agreement.

7.4 Features labeled preview, beta or experimental may be unstable, may change or be removed at any time, and are not covered by any service commitment.

8. Intellectual property

8.1 All intellectual property rights in the Software, Services and Documentation, and in the KXBuild name, logo and website content, belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright law, trademark law and international treaties.

8.2 You may not use the KXBuild name, logo or other trademarks without our written permission, except to state truthfully and without misleading anyone that your app was built with KXBuild.

9. Termination

9.1 You may stop using the Services at any time, or contact us to delete your account.

9.2 If you breach these Terms or the law, or if your conduct creates risk for us, other users or third parties, we may suspend or terminate your account and license. In serious cases we may do so without prior notice, and fees you have paid will not be refunded. We will tell you why to a reasonable extent, unless the law prohibits it.

9.3 When these Terms end, you must stop using the Software and delete any copies. Terms that by their nature should survive termination remain in effect, including sections 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 14.

10. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available". We make no express or implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

In particular, we do not warrant that:

  • the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that all defects will be fixed;
  • the Software will be compatible with all of your projects and devices;
  • apps built with KXBuild will pass App Review or the review of any other platform;
  • third-party components and platforms will remain available.

Back up your code and data regularly, and test your apps yourself before you release them.

11. Limitation of liability

11.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages, including loss of profits, business, data or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

11.2 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability under these Terms will not exceed the amount you actually paid for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the liability. We have no liability to pay damages for any period in which you use the Services free of charge, including a trial.

11.3 This section does not limit any liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for property damage caused by our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, and liability for personal injury.

12. Indemnification

If a third party brings a claim against us arising from Your Content, your breach of these Terms or your violation of the law, you will compensate us for the resulting losses and reasonable costs, including attorneys' fees.

13. Export controls

You must comply with applicable export control and economic sanctions laws. You may not use the Services in a comprehensively sanctioned country or region, or provide the Services to any party on a relevant restricted list.

14. Governing law and dispute resolution

14.1 The formation, validity, interpretation, performance and dispute resolution of these Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (excluding the laws of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

14.2 The parties will first try to resolve any dispute arising from these Terms through friendly negotiation. If that fails, either party may bring a lawsuit in a people's court with jurisdiction where we are domiciled.

14.3 If you are a consumer, nothing in this section affects the mandatory protections given to you by the laws of your country or region.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date. For changes that materially and adversely affect your rights or obligations, we will notify you through the website, the Dashboard or email at least 15 days in advance. If you keep using the Services after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you don't agree, stop using the Services.

16. General

16.1 These Terms, together with the documents referred to in section 1.2, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede any prior oral or written agreements.

16.2 If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect, and that provision will be enforced as closely to its original intent as the law allows.

16.3 Our failure or delay in exercising a right is not a waiver of that right.

16.4 You may not assign your rights and obligations under these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms to a successor in a merger, acquisition or asset transfer, and will notify you if we do.

16.5 Neither party is liable for failing or delaying to perform these Terms because of force majeure.

16.6 We may send you notices by your registered email address, in the Dashboard or through in-app messages.

16.7 These Terms are written in Chinese. Versions in other languages are for reference only, and if they differ from the Chinese version, the Chinese version prevails. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
