Legal · Terms
Terms of use for this website, written to be read.
Last updated: November 1, 2026. These terms of use govern your use of 8kava.com, operated by 8Kava Labs LLC. Kava OS subscriptions, hardware purchases, Vending-as-a-Service and our other services are covered by separate written agreements, which control if they conflict with these terms.
Four things these terms say
This summary is for convenience. The full terms below are what apply.
Use the site for what it's for
Read, learn, compare and contact us. Don't attack it, scrape it at scale or use it to mislead anyone.
Our content stays ours
Share links and short quotes with attribution. Copying pages, images or code wholesale needs our permission.
Estimates aren't promises
ROI estimates, case-study results and platform metrics describe specific conditions. Your results depend on your sites.
Colorado law applies
These terms are governed by Colorado law, and disputes go to the state courts in Larimer County, Colorado.
1. Agreement to these terms
By accessing or using 8kava.com and any pages, tools or content on it (the "Site"), you agree to these terms of use (the "Terms") and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.
If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm that you're authorized to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organization. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to submit forms or enter into any agreement with us through the Site.
Other agreements. Kava OS, 8Kava hardware, Vending-as-a-Service, Managed Operations and our other products and services are provided under separate written agreements, such as a master services agreement, order form or subscription terms. If one of those agreements conflicts with these Terms, that agreement controls. Nothing on the Site, including our pricing, is an offer that binds us until it's confirmed in a signed order or agreement.
Changes. We may update these Terms. We'll post the new version here with a new "Last updated" date. Changes apply from that date, and continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept it.
2. Acceptable use
You may use the Site for lawful purposes, including learning about our products, evaluating them for your organization and contacting us. You agree not to:
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, Kava OS or any account, system or network connected to them;
- probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Site, or interfere with its operation, including through denial-of-service attacks, malicious code or excessive automated requests;
- scrape, crawl or harvest content or data from the Site by automated means, other than standard search-engine indexing that follows our robots.txt file;
- copy, frame or mirror the Site, or reproduce it in a way that suggests a connection with 8Kava that doesn't exist;
- submit false or misleading information, or someone else's information, through our forms, or impersonate any person or organization;
- use the Site to send spam or unsolicited marketing, or to collect information about other users;
- use content from the Site to train or fine-tune machine-learning models for a competing product without our written permission; or
- use the Site in any way that violates applicable law or the rights of others.
Security research. If you believe you've found a vulnerability, please report it to hi@8kava.com instead of testing it further. Tell us what you found and how to reproduce it, and don't access, change or keep data that isn't yours. We'll acknowledge your report and keep you informed while we fix it. See Security & Trust for how we protect our systems.
We may suspend or block access to the Site for anyone who violates these Terms.
3. Intellectual property
The Site and its content, including text, illustrations, photographs, graphics, the coil mark, page designs, software and the selection and arrangement of all of them, are owned by 8Kava Labs LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. 8Kava, Kava OS, Kava Cooler, Kava Vend, Kava Kiosk, Kava Box, Kava Lockers, Kava Link, Kava PPE, Kava Outdoor, Kava Agent, Kava Pay and the related logos are trademarks of 8Kava Labs LLC. Other names that appear on the Site belong to their owners, and their appearance doesn't imply endorsement of, or a relationship with, 8Kava.
We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and use the Site for your own information and to evaluate our products for your organization. You may share links to any page, quote short excerpts with attribution and a link to the source page, and print or save pages for internal use. Any other copying, modification, distribution or commercial use requires our written permission; write to hi@8kava.com.
Feedback. If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback about the Site or our products, we may use them without obligation to you. This doesn't give us rights to your confidential business information, which is governed by the agreements described in section 1.
4. Content, tools and estimates
Information, not advice. We work to keep the Site accurate and current, but its content is general information. Product specifications, availability and prices may change and are confirmed only in a quote or agreement. Articles and guides that discuss food safety, payments, age-restricted products or other regulated topics are not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Check your obligations with a qualified advisor and the relevant authorities.
Estimates and results. The ROI calculator produces estimates from the figures you enter and from default rates based on aggregated results across 8Kava deployments. Case studies and platform metrics describe what happened at specific sites over specific periods. None of them guarantees that you'll see the same results, which depend on your locations, traffic, products, prices, operations and many other factors.
Third-party links. The Site may link to websites, tools or services run by others. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content, policies or practices. Visiting them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
Submissions. When you submit a form, you confirm that the information is accurate and agree that we may contact you about your inquiry. You can opt out of marketing email at any time through the unsubscribe link. How we handle what you send is described in our privacy policy.
Availability. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, and we don't guarantee that it will always be available or free of errors.
5. Disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnity
Disclaimer. THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SITE WILL BE ACCURATE, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR FREE OF ERRORS OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS. Warranties for 8Kava products and services, if any, are stated only in the agreements that cover them.
Limitation of liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). Some jurisdictions don't allow certain exclusions or limits, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Indemnity. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless 8Kava Labs LLC and its members, managers, employees and agents from any claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
6. Governing law and disputes
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Site, are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
You and 8Kava agree that any such dispute will be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Larimer County, Colorado, and each of us consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts. If a dispute can be heard only in federal court, it will be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado.
Before filing a claim, please contact us at hi@8kava.com and give us a chance to resolve it informally. Nothing in this section prevents either of us from seeking urgent injunctive relief to protect intellectual property or the security of the Site.
7. General terms and contact
Entire agreement. These Terms and our privacy policy are the entire agreement between you and 8Kava about the Site, and they replace any earlier terms for the Site.
Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of these Terms will remain in effect.
No waiver. If we don't enforce a provision, that isn't a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
Survival. The sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law survive the end of your use of the Site.
Contact. 8Kava Labs LLC, 2821 Remington Street, Suite 101, Fort Collins, CO 80525. Email hi@8kava.com. Phone (678) 451-2033. Our accessibility statement explains how to request content in another format.
The fine print that matters isn't on this page.
These terms cover a website. The contract that shapes your business is the one for your fleet. Who owns your sales data? Can you export all of it, any time, in a usable format? Can you switch payment processors without swapping hardware? What happens to your devices if you leave? Ask every vendor, us included, to answer in writing. Our lock-in checklist has the full list.
Questions about these terms
Do these terms apply to my Kava OS subscription?
No. Kava OS, hardware, Vending-as-a-Service and our other services are covered by the agreement you sign with us, such as an order form or master services agreement. These Terms cover only the website, and the signed agreement wins if the two conflict.
Can I use the ROI calculator's output in a business case?
Yes, as long as it's presented as an estimate. It reflects your inputs and our aggregated defaults, not a commitment. For a figure you can plan around, ask for a site assessment or run a pilot.
Can I quote your articles or glossary?
Yes. Short excerpts with attribution and a link to the source page are welcome. For longer reuse, translations or images, email hi@8kava.com and tell us how you'd like to use the material.
Where would a dispute be heard?
Colorado law governs these Terms, and disputes go to the state courts in Larimer County, Colorado, or to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado if only a federal court can hear the case. We'd rather solve a problem by email first.
Where to go next
Questions about these terms?
Write to us and a person will answer. For contracts covering Kava OS, hardware or services, our sales team will walk you through the agreement before you sign.
