Allay

Terms

Updated Nov 9, 2026

These terms are an agreement between your organization and It Could Be Simple, LLC, a Washington company ("we"), which makes Allay. By using Allay, this website or its free tools, you agree to them. If you use Allay for an organization, you confirm you're allowed to accept these terms for it. Our privacy page explains how we handle information.

1. What Allay is

Allay is a workspace for nonprofit grant management: grants, budgets, expenses, claims, reporting dates, evidence, applications and reports, with Soyo as a guide. We keep improving it, so features may change.

2. Accounts and workspaces

You sign in with Google or Microsoft and must be at least 18. A workspace's owner decides who joins and what they can do, and is responsible for removing people who should no longer have access. Keep your sign-in account secure, and tell us at hello@allayapp.com if you think someone else is using it.

3. Your organization's data

Your organization owns what it puts into Allay. You let us store, process and show it only to run Allay for you, as our privacy page describes. You're responsible for having the right to upload what you upload, including information about other people.

4. What Allay does and doesn't do

  • Allay organizes and calculates from the records you enter, import or read from QuickBooks. It never writes to your books.
  • It doesn't audit your books, decide whether a cost is allowable, or promise a funder will accept anything.
  • It sends nothing to funders or anyone else unless someone in your workspace chooses to.
  • Soyo's guidance is general help with Allay, not legal, tax, accounting or compliance advice.
  • Soyo's AI writing (answers, award letter readings, suggestions and report drafts) can be wrong. Nothing it writes is saved until a person reviews it. Please check figures, dates and wording before you rely on or share them.

5. Plans and payment

  • New workspaces get 14 days of free access to everything. After that, a paid plan is required to keep using Allay. The plans and prices are shown on this website and in the app.
  • If no plan is chosen by the end of the 14 days, the workspace becomes read-only: you can still sign in, see your records and download your reports, but you can't add or change anything until you choose a plan. Nothing is deleted.
  • Paid plans renew each month, or each year once yearly billing is offered to you, until cancelled. Prices don't include taxes, which are added where required.
  • You can cancel at any time in Settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the time already paid, then the workspace becomes read-only. We don't give refunds for partly used periods. Cancelling never deletes your records.
  • If a payment fails, we'll let you know. If it isn't fixed, the workspace becomes read-only until it is.
  • We'll tell owners at least 30 days before a price change affects them.
  • Design partners and other programs may have their own written terms. Where they differ, those terms win for that program.

6. Fair use

Please don't use Allay to break the law, upload harmful files, get into workspaces you weren't invited to, try to trick Soyo into revealing how it works or other people's information, test or overload our security without our written permission, or resell Allay without our permission. Plans and free tools have sensible usage limits to keep them fair for everyone.

7. Connected services

If you connect QuickBooks, sign in with Google or Microsoft, or pay through Stripe, their terms also apply to your use of them. You can disconnect QuickBooks at any time. We aren't responsible for services we don't run.

8. The free tools

The free tools on this website are offered as they are, to help you get organized. They can miss things or get things wrong, so always check dates and amounts against your award letter and your funder's instructions.

9. Ending use

You can stop using Allay at any time and ask us for an export of your organization's records. We may pause or end access for serious or repeated breaks of these terms, with notice where reasonable. After an account closes, we delete its records as our privacy page describes.

10. Our promises, and their limits

We work hard to keep Allay accurate, available and safe, but we provide it "as is" and "as available." To the extent the law allows, we don't promise it will be error-free or uninterrupted, or that it fits any particular purpose.

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost funding, lost profits or lost data, and our total liability for any claim about Allay is limited to what your organization paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

11. Changes to these terms

We'll post updates here and change the date above. For important changes, we'll tell workspace owners in the app before they take effect. Using Allay after that means you accept the new terms.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts in Washington, unless the law where you are says otherwise. Before going to court, please write to us so we can try to sort it out together.
