Terms of use

Provider and scope

These Terms govern your use of echory, an online service for interactive AI stories and roleplay, provided by {full legal name / company}, {full address}, {contact email}. They form part of a contract only where validly made available and agreed before conclusion. The Privacy policy explains data processing; accepting these Terms does not constitute consent to optional processing.

Eligibility and account

Minimum age: {minimum age and rules for parental authorisation}. You must have the capacity or authorisation required to enter the contract. Provide accurate required account information, protect your login credentials and report suspected unauthorised access to {support email}. Use only accounts you are authorised to access.

How echory works and AI limitations

You interact with an AI system. The service generates fictional responses based on your inputs and the story context. The system is not a human conversation partner. Outputs may be incorrect, inconsistent, biased or unsuitable, and similar outputs may be generated for other users. Stories may include {actual content categories and age restrictions}.

The service is for creative entertainment. Do not rely on fictional output for real-world medical, legal, financial or other consequential decisions. The agreed functionality, compatibility, technical requirements and usage limits are {description or relevant product-information URL}. Internet access and {actual browser/device requirements} are needed.

Your inputs and generated content

You retain any rights you hold in your inputs. Provide only material you are entitled to use and process. You grant us only the rights necessary to host, process and transmit your inputs for the requested service and its lawful operation. This does not grant an unrestricted right to advertise with your private stories or train AI models; any such use requires a separately stated lawful arrangement.

Permitted use of generated outputs: {actual personal/commercial-use policy and any third-party restrictions}. No rights that do not legally exist can be granted, and AI output may not be exclusive or protected by copyright. Respect third-party rights. Publication or sharing features: {actual features and visibility or none}. Privacy settings and deletion options: {actual functions}.

Acceptable use and reports

Do not use echory for unlawful content, abuse or exploitation, infringement of others' rights, harassment of real persons, malicious code, unauthorised access or interference with the service. Fictional roleplay does not authorise unlawful activity. Additional content restrictions: {actual rules and applicable safety limits}.

Report unlawful content, rights infringements or safety concerns to {reporting email or form URL}, identifying the content or URL and explaining the issue. Review and complaint procedure: {actual procedure, contact and deadlines}. We may take proportionate measures necessary to comply with law, protect the service or address material breaches, with reasons and an opportunity to contest where required.

Free and paid features

Free features and limits: {actual scope}. Paid features, if offered: {plans, credits, currency, total prices including applicable taxes, usage limits and payment methods}. No paid obligation arises without a separately confirmed order. Contract conclusion and confirmation: {actual checkout steps, correction options and confirmation method}.

For subscriptions: {billing interval, duration, renewal, notice period and available cancellation mechanism}. For credits: {consumption, expiry if lawfully agreed, and treatment of unused credits}. Paid terms must be disclosed before ordering. Statutory withdrawal rights and mandatory remedies remain unaffected; see the Withdrawal information where applicable.

Ending the contract and changes

You may stop using echory and request account closure through {actual closure process}. Account closure and cancellation of a paid subscription: {actual relationship and procedure}. Data deletion and legal retention follow the Privacy policy. Any prepaid entitlement, refund or statutory remedy is handled under the applicable contract and mandatory law.

We may suspend or end access for serious breaches or legal/security reasons only on a proportionate basis. Changes to paid services or these Terms require an applicable lawful basis and notice; legally required consent, termination options, data access and consumer remedies remain available. Changes do not retroactively alter completed contracts.

Availability, liability and mandatory rights

Availability may be affected by maintenance, outages and third-party dependencies. This does not exclude any agreed service obligation or statutory right. Liability is governed by applicable law. These Terms do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for intentional wrongdoing or gross negligence and applicable mandatory consumer protections. Statutory rights concerning defective digital content or services remain unaffected.

Applicable law and contact

Swiss law applies to the extent lawfully agreed. Consumers retain mandatory protections of the law otherwise applicable to them and any mandatory jurisdiction rights, including under applicable EU or national rules. No exclusive consumer jurisdiction is imposed by these Terms.
