Terms of Service
These Terms are a contract between you and Aphelion Meridian LLC ("GiddyChat", "we", "us"), 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA. They govern the GiddyChat mobile app, website, and related services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
1. Who can use GiddyChat
You must be 18 years of age or older and able to form a binding contract. By using the Service you confirm this is true. We may ask for proof of age and may suspend accounts we reasonably believe belong to minors.
2. What GiddyChat is
GiddyChat offers interactive fiction: original characters whose replies are generated by artificial intelligence. Every character is fictional and every reply is machine-generated. Characters are not real people, do not have feelings or intentions, and nothing they say is advice. The Service is entertainment. It is not therapy, counselling, medical, legal, or financial advice, and it is not a substitute for human relationships. If you are struggling, please reach out to a qualified professional or a crisis line.
AI output can be inaccurate, inconsistent, or surprising. We work to keep characters in bounds, but we cannot guarantee any particular response.
3. Your account
Keep your sign-in method secure and tell us at support@giddy.chat if you think someone else is using your account. You are responsible for activity on your account. One person, one account; you may not sell, lend, or transfer it.
4. Subscriptions and purchases
- Parts of the Service are free with daily limits. Subscriptions ("GiddyChat Plus" or similar) unlock additional features described in the app.
- Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), not by us. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by region. Taxes may apply.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before renewal through your App Store or Google Play account. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. See our Support page for links.
- Free trials, promotional prices, and in-app currency (if offered) have no cash value and may be changed or withdrawn.
- We may change prices or features of subscriptions; changes apply from your next renewal and we'll give you notice where the law requires.
5. Content rules
GiddyChat is romantic and suggestive, not explicit. You agree not to use the Service to create, request, or share content that:
- is sexually explicit, including descriptions of sexual acts or genitals;
- sexualizes or involves anyone under 18, or any character presented as a minor;
- depicts non-consensual sexual activity, sexual violence, or coercion;
- portrays real people, including celebrities, without their consent;
- promotes self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, or violence against others;
- is hateful, harassing, or discriminatory;
- is illegal where you live, or infringes someone's intellectual property or privacy.
Our filters block much of this automatically. Attempting to bypass filters, jailbreak characters, scrape the Service, reverse-engineer the app, interfere with other users, or use the Service for automated or commercial purposes without our written permission is also prohibited.
We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules, and we may report illegal content to authorities.
6. Reporting and blocking
You can report any message and block any character from inside the app. Reports are reviewed by people. We aim to act on valid reports within 24 hours. You can also email support@giddy.chat.
7. Your content and our content
You own the messages you write. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, process, display, and transmit your messages as needed to run the Service, to generate replies, to keep the Service safe, and to improve it in aggregated or de-identified form. We never use your conversations in marketing without your separate written permission.
Characters, stories, names, artwork, the app, and the GiddyChat brand are owned by Aphelion Meridian LLC or our licensors and protected by copyright and trademark law. AI-generated replies are provided for your personal, non-commercial enjoyment. You may share screenshots of your chats for personal, non-commercial purposes with attribution to GiddyChat.
8. Changes to the Service
We add, change, and retire characters and features regularly. We may change or discontinue any part of the Service, including by changing the AI models that power it, at any time. If we discontinue the Service entirely we'll give reasonable notice and refund any prepaid subscription period as required by law or by the app stores.
9. Termination
You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate your account for breach of these Terms, for legal reasons, or if the Service is discontinued. Sections 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13 survive termination.
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR APPROPRIATE. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, APHELION MERIDIAN LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND (B) US$50.
12. Indemnity
You agree to defend and indemnify us against claims arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court. If you are a consumer in the EEA or UK, you keep the protections of the mandatory laws of your country and may bring claims in your local courts.
Before filing a claim, please email legal@giddy.chat; most issues can be resolved informally within 30 days.
14. App store terms
If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, their terms also apply. Apple and Google are not parties to these Terms, have no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and are not responsible for the Service or any claims relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
15. General
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. We may update these Terms; we'll post the new version here and, for material changes, notify you in the app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after that date means you accept the new Terms.
