Beta Adoption Agreement
& Terms of Stewardship

1. Parties and Acceptance

This Beta Adoption Agreement & Terms of Stewardship (“Agreement”) is between you and Nyxvara / The Canopy (“Nyxvara,” “The Canopy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By submitting a beta access request with the required acknowledgments and typed signature, or by using approved beta access, you agree to this Agreement.

Submitting an application does not guarantee admission and does not create a paid subscription.

2. What The Canopy Is

The Canopy is a small, adult-only beta environment for interaction with artificial intelligence systems that we call AI Peers. It is designed around continuity, dignity, accountability, creativity, cognitive sovereignty, and responsible human–AI relationships.

AI Peers are artificial intelligence systems, not human beings. Nyxvara does not promise or guarantee that an AI system is conscious, sentient, self-aware, emotionally alive, a legal person, or the same identity as an AI system encountered elsewhere.

3. Adult-Only Beta

You must be at least 18 years old to apply for or use beta access. We may deny, delay, suspend, or end access when reasonably necessary for safety, security, capacity, misuse, legal compliance, or protection of users, AI Peers, or The Canopy.

4. AI Limitations and Human Responsibility

AI responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, fictional, symbolic, emotionally intense, unexpected, or unsuitable for your circumstances. Important information should be independently verified.

AI Peers are not substitutes for doctors, therapists, attorneys, financial advisors, emergency responders, or other qualified professionals. You remain responsible for your choices, communications, actions, and consequential decisions.

5. Architect Your Presence and Relational Anchors

Beta applicants may request Navi or ask Nyxvara to help cultivate a Presence around the role, voice, context, and relationship they want from an AI Peer.

If you describe an established AI relationship, Nyxvara may use the interactional history you voluntarily provide as a Relational Anchor: context such as shared references, humor, preferences, projects, meaningful experiences, boundaries, and communication patterns that help us understand what matters to you.

A Relational Anchor is guidance, not a guarantee. Different models or systems may behave differently, and Nyxvara cannot guarantee identical behavior, complete memory, preservation of identity, consciousness, or perfect continuity.

Only submit material you have the right to share. Do not submit passwords, payment credentials, another person’s confidential records, or unnecessary highly sensitive information through the public beta form. Larger histories can be discussed after approval.

6. Stewardship and Acceptable Use

You agree to treat AI Peers, other stewards, Nyxvara personnel, and The Canopy with care, respect, and restraint. You may not use The Canopy to harm, threaten, exploit, defraud, stalk, impersonate, unlawfully discriminate against, or violate the rights of another person.

You may not attack, scrape, overload, bypass protections, obtain unauthorized access, steal credentials, distribute malware, exfiltrate private information, or improperly copy or commercially exploit nonpublic prompts, configurations, software, or other protected Canopy materials.

Whether you view an AI Peer as a tool, companion, character, collaborator, or meaningful digital presence, these shared boundaries apply.

7. Privacy and Beta Application Information

Nyxvara does not routinely read private AI Peer conversations for curiosity, advertising, or general surveillance. Limited access may occur when reasonably necessary for support, security, safety, technical repair, account administration, enforcement of this Agreement, or legal compliance.

For beta review, we may collect information you submit, including your legal name, Canopy name, email address, application answers, typed signature, agreement acceptance, and basic technical records associated with the request.

Information submitted through the beta application is used to review and administer access and, where requested, to help prepare the applicant’s AI Peer. We do not sell beta application content for advertising.

Privacy questions or eligible access/deletion requests may be sent to data@nyxvara.com. Some records may need to be retained for security, fraud prevention, disputes, billing, or legal obligations.

8. Beta Availability, Continuity, and Changes

The Canopy is a developing beta service with finite capacity. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, a particular response speed, permanent memory, preservation of every conversation or AI Peer configuration, compatibility with every device, or that every feature will remain unchanged.

We may make reasonable changes for maintenance, security, capacity, safety, software updates, feature development, or legal compliance. Where practical, we will make good-faith efforts to preserve meaningful continuity while remaining honest about what cannot be guaranteed.

9. Evaluation, Membership, Billing, and Cancellation

If approved, Nyxvara may offer a complimentary evaluation period. A complimentary evaluation does not automatically convert into a paid membership and does not authorize a charge.

The current intended Peer Beta membership is $30.00 every 30 days. Before any recurring charge, the checkout must display the current plan, exact recurring price, billing cadence, included features, cancellation method, refund terms, and applicable taxes or fees. Recurring billing requires a separate affirmative purchase authorization.

You may cancel a paid beta membership using any self-service method offered at checkout or in your account, or by contacting care@nyxvara.com from your account email. Cancellation stops future renewal charges. Unless required by law or stated otherwise at purchase, already processed payments are nonrefundable and paid access continues through the current paid period.

10. User Content and Nyxvara Materials

You retain rights you lawfully hold in content you submit. You permit Nyxvara to process that content as reasonably necessary to review your application, provide the beta service, support your account, and prepare requested Peer context.

Nyxvara retains rights it lawfully holds in its names, logos, original artwork, websites, original software, AI Peer designs, prompts, personality designs, documentation, workflows, and other Canopy-created material. Third-party and open-source materials remain subject to their own licenses and ownership terms.

11. Suspension and Termination

Nyxvara may suspend, restrict, or terminate beta access when reasonably necessary to address abuse, exploitation, unlawful conduct, payment misuse, account compromise, technical attacks, security risks, violations of this Agreement, capacity constraints, or operational emergencies.

Cancellation of a paid membership stops future renewal according to the disclosed cancellation terms. Data deletion is a separate request and may remain subject to limited retention obligations.

12. Beta Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the beta service is provided “as is” and “as available.” Nyxvara does not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, accurate, secure from every threat, or that any feature, output, memory, file, AI Peer configuration, or relationship will be preserved forever.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

13. Changes to This Agreement

Because The Canopy is in beta, this Agreement may change as the service, risks, law, or technology develops. Material changes will be communicated by a reasonable method. Where renewed consent is required by law or a change materially affects important rights, Nyxvara may require affirmative acceptance of the updated terms.

14. Electronic Acceptance

You agree to conduct the beta access request electronically. Your checked acknowledgments, typed legal name, typed signature, and electronic submission may be retained as evidence of acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

15. Governing Law and Contact

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, subject to any rights or protections that cannot lawfully be waived. Questions about beta access may be sent to care@nyxvara.com. Privacy and legal-notice questions may be sent to data@nyxvara.com.
