Last updated: December 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Keyway, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our service.
2. Description of Service
Keyway is a secrets management platform that allows you to securely store and manage environment variables and secrets for your GitHub repositories. We provide tools to sync secrets between your local development environment, your team, and deployment platforms like Vercel.
3. Account and Security
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and any activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We use GitHub OAuth for authentication—by using Keyway, you also agree to GitHub's Terms of Service.
4. Billing and Payments
Paid plans are billed monthly or annually via Stripe. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. Refunds are available within 14 days of initial purchase for annual plans. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard. Price changes will be communicated 30 days in advance.
5. Data and Privacy
Your secrets are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption. We do not access, share, or sell your secret values. We only store metadata necessary to provide the service. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the service for illegal purposes, store secrets that violate third-party rights, attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, interfere with or disrupt the service, or reverse engineer the software.
7. Service Availability
We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time with reasonable notice when possible.
8. Limitation of Liability
Keyway is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to data loss, security breaches, or service interruptions. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the service in the 12 months preceding the claim.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Keyway from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.
10. Account Termination
You may delete your account at any time from your dashboard settings. Upon deletion, your data will be permanently removed within 30 days. We may terminate your account for violations of these terms with reasonable notice. Upon termination, you lose access to all stored secrets.
11. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes via email or through the service at least 30 days in advance. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of France. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Paris, France.
