Project grades

Upgrade only when an idea is worth building.

A project grade is a one-time purchase attached to a single project, at Bronze, Silver or Gold. It is permanent for that project, includes its enabled capabilities, and it never renews. No membership is required to buy one or to use it. Members pay 20% less on their first grade and 5% less after. Prices are in US dollars and are shown without tax. Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies, and is shown before you pay.

Moving up

Upgrading, and what it costs.

trending_up Upgrading a membership

Move to a higher level at any time. We cancel your current subscription without a refund and sell you the new one at its list price, less a credit for the unused part of your current term. The credit is worked out on whole days, against the amount you actually paid, in the currency of your original order, and it is shown on the order and your receipt before you confirm.

Downgrading takes effect at the end of your current term. Nothing is refunded, because you keep what you paid for until it runs out, and nothing is deleted.

upgrade Upgrading a project grade

A grade upgrade is its own item at a fixed price, being the difference between the two grades. The higher grade supersedes the lower one for that project. Nothing is refunded for the grade you already bought, and the difference is all you pay.

Bronze to SilverUS$300
Silver to GoldUS$300
Bronze to GoldUS$600

A grade upgrade counts as a subsequent purchase, so the member discount on it is 5%.

Questions

Grade questions

Which grade fits my idea? add
Bronze suits a focused, single-mechanism idea heading for a straightforward filing. Silver is the workhorse for most inventions. Gold is for complex claims and alternative embodiments, or for inventors who want the Goal loop and Virtual Inventor driving the work. You never choose alone: at the gate, Nova sets out what your specific idea needs and why.
What does all-inclusive within allowances mean? add
Everything the grade lists is inside its price: every deliverable, every figure, every examination cycle it carries. Allowances exist so a runaway job cannot surprise anyone, and they are sized so a typical project never meets one. If you approach one you are warned early and told what is consuming the budget.
Can I move up a grade midway? add
Yes. A grade upgrade is sold as its own item at a fixed price, being the difference between the two grades. Everything you have already built carries forward and nothing restarts. Nothing is refunded for the grade you already bought, and the difference is all you pay.
Does a grade expire, or move to another project? add
It never expires. It also cannot be moved: once applied, a grade stays with its project. If you applied one to the wrong project, contact support and we will help.
What if my idea changes shape? add
A PIVOT archives the current project, forks a clean one, and carries your grade across at no extra charge. You do not buy the same project twice.
Can I get a refund? add
A grade bought and not yet applied is refunded in full within thirty days. Applied with no generative work run, in full within fourteen days. Applied with some work run, in part, reduced by the work consumed, and we show the calculation. The full position is in the Refund Policy.

Exploring rather than building? See memberships. The Terms of Service and the Refund Policy govern.
