Mahvo Terms of Use

Effective November 13, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Kinu Technologies LLC (“Kinu”, “we”) for your use of Mahvo. By using Mahvo, you agree to them.

Who can use Mahvo

You must be at least 13, and old enough to agree to these terms where you live. Use Mahvo only in ways the law allows.

Your account

You control your account with your passcode and your 12 recovery words. Keep them and your device safe. We can’t recover lost recovery words or unlock your account for you.

Acceptable use

Don’t use Mahvo to:

• share illegal content, including any content that sexually exploits children;
• threaten, harass or harm others, or impersonate anyone;
• send spam, commit fraud or distribute malware;
• attack the service, probe it without permission, or get around its limits.

We may limit or suspend accounts that break these rules. Report abuse in the app or at support@mahvo.app.

Your content

What you send stays yours. You give us only the permission we need to store and deliver your encrypted content. We can’t read it.

Disappearing messages

Timers, View Once, Keep and Drops control how long content stays on our servers and in the app. They aren’t a guarantee that every copy is gone: recipients can take screenshots or photos, and an offline sender device can delay deletion until it reconnects.

Availability

We work to keep Mahvo running, but it may change, be interrupted for maintenance, or have faults. Features can differ by version and platform.

Paid features

Mahvo has no paid features today. If we add them, they’ll be sold through the App Store, with their terms shown before you buy.

Ending your use

You can delete your account at any time in the app. We may suspend or end access for serious or repeated violations, or when the law requires it.

Disclaimers

Mahvo is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Kinu is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of US$50 or what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights that cannot be limited under your local law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where your local law gives you the right to rely on it.

Apple

If you got Mahvo from the App Store, these terms apply together with Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement. Apple is not responsible for Mahvo or its support.

Changes

We may update these terms. We’ll post the new version here with a new effective date. For significant changes, we’ll also tell you in the app. If you keep using Mahvo after a change, you accept the updated terms.
