Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 1st of 2025, GMT+8

Welcome to Storymaker ("Storymaker," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, applications, and services (collectively, the "Service"). Please read these Terms carefully.

By creating an account, or by accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

1. User Accounts

A. Registration: To access most features, you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate. When you register, you confirm that you have read and agree to our terms, as indicated by the checkbox on our registration form.

B. Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you must have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Service and they must agree to these Terms on your behalf.

C. Account Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this requirement.

2. The Service and "Ink Drops"

Our Service allows you to generate interactive stories and chapter-based narratives using artificial intelligence. Certain actions, such as generating content or using advanced features, may require "Ink Drops," which is our virtual credit system.

  • Ink Drops are a limited license to use features of the Service. They are not currency, have no monetary value, and are not refundable or redeemable for cash.
  • We reserve the right to change the cost, availability, and use-cases for Ink Drops at any time.
  • All purchases of Ink Drops are final and non-refundable.

3. Content Ownership and Licenses

Our Service involves two types of content: User Content and AI-Generated Content.

A. User Content: This is the content you provide to the Service, including the story prompts, character descriptions, arc summaries, and custom choices ("User Content"). You retain all ownership rights to your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant Storymaker a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, and display your User Content in connection with operating and improving the Service. This includes using it to train our AI models, as agreed upon during registration.

B. AI-Generated Content: This is the content produced by the Service in response to your input, including storylines, chapters, artwork prompts, and choices ("AI-Generated Content"). Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Storymaker grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the AI-Generated Content for your personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not represent that AI-Generated Content was human-generated. Due to the nature of AI, we cannot guarantee the uniqueness of the output, and other users may receive similar or identical content.

4. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to do any of the following:

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of any local, state, national, or international law.
  • Generate content that is hateful, abusive, harassing, obscene, defamatory, sexually explicit, or threatening.
  • Violate or encourage others to violate the rights of third parties, including intellectual property rights.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise discover the source code of the Service.
  • Use automated means, such as bots or scrapers, to access the Service or abuse our rate limits and credit systems.
  • Interfere with the security-related features of the Service, including disabling or circumventing features that prevent or limit use.

5. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including for a violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us.

6. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING ARE RAPIDLY EVOLVING FIELDS. GIVEN THE PROBABILISTIC NATURE OF AI, USE OF OUR SERVICE MAY IN SOME SITUATIONS RESULT IN INCORRECT, INACCURATE, OR OFFENSIVE OUTPUT THAT DOES NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT REAL PEOPLE, PLACES, OR FACTS. YOU AGREE TO EVALUATE THE ACCURACY OF ANY OUTPUT AS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR USE CASE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STORYMAKER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

7. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Storymaker and its employees, officers, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.

8. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will post the revised Terms on this page. By continuing to use the Service after the changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Philippines, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms will be resolved through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court.
