Chapter 17 contains a binding arbitration clause and a class action waiver that affect your right to bring proceedings in court, to request a jury trial and to participate in a class action or class arbitration. You may opt out under Section 17.6 within 30 days after first accepting this Agreement.
This Agreement is executed in English, which version prevails. We may provide translations into other languages for reference only; where a translation differs from the English version, the English version prevails.
This service is intended only for users who have reached the age of majority prescribed in their country or region (which is not lower than 18). All companions in the service are driven by artificial intelligence and are not real persons.
This Agreement is entered into between Tao Huang (an individual developer, “we” or “Uooda”) and you (“you” or “user”), and applies to your downloading, installation, access to or use of the Uooda mobile application, the website https://uooda.carbosilexnexus.com and related services (together, the “service”).
By ticking “I have read and agree”, creating an account, downloading the app or otherwise using the service, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to be bound by all the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to any term of this Agreement, please do not use the service.
Chapter 1 Scope of the Agreement and Annexes
1.1This Agreement constitutes the entire legal agreement between you and us in respect of the service.
1.2The following documents form part of this Agreement and have the same legal effect as this Agreement:
(a)the Uooda Privacy Policy (UD-PP-01), which governs the collection, use, storage, sharing and protection of personal information and which you confirm separately when registering;
(b)the Uooda AI Services and Data Processing Agreement (UD-AIDP-01), which governs the transmission of AI Interaction Data to third-party model service providers and its processing and which you confirm when registering;
(c)the Uooda Subscription and Billing Terms (UD-ARS-01), which mainly govern the price and billing of auto-renewing subscriptions, the scope of benefits, renewal, cancellation and refunds, and which you separately tick to confirm when purchasing an auto-renewing subscription; you do not confirm that Agreement when purchasing a 30-Day Pass or a Points Pack, the commercial rules of those one-off payment products being set out in full in Chapter 8 of this Agreement, with the order of precedence described in Section 1.3;
(d)the Uooda Companion Creation and Voice Cloning Agreement (UD-VRC-01), which governs custom companions, voice cloning and the processing of biometric information, and which you separately agree when you use that feature.
1.3Order of precedence: where an annex and the body of this Agreement differ on the same matter, the following order applies:
(a)on the processing of personal information and authorisation for AI data, the relevant annex prevails within the scope it governs;
(b)on the billing, renewal, cancellation and refund of auto-renewing subscriptions, the Subscription and Billing Terms prevail;
(c)on the price, benefits, quota, validity period, restoration and refund of 30-Day Passes and Points Packs (together, “one-off payment products”), Chapter 8 of this Agreement prevails. You do not confirm the Subscription and Billing Terms when purchasing those products, and the provisions of that Agreement on automatic renewal do not apply to them; where that Agreement, an in-app description or a campaign page differs from Chapter 8 of this Agreement, Chapter 8 prevails in respect of one-off payment products, except that where a campaign page sets out specific promotional conditions, the campaign page prevails as to the promotion;
(d)on all other matters, the body of this Agreement prevails.
1.4If you obtain this app through an app store, you must also comply with the applicable terms of that store (for the Apple App Store, the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions; for Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service). Chapter 19 contains additional terms applicable to distribution through app stores.
1.5Service Regions: we provide this app and the service through the Apple App Store and Google Play in the following countries and regions (“Service Regions”): the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, the Taiwan region of China, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru and South Africa. The list above describes the scope in which we plan to provide the service and does not constitute a commitment that the service is or will remain available in any particular region. Whether a region is open for download, registration and purchase at any given time depends on the listing status of the local app stores and local regulatory conditions, and is determined by what the app stores and the in-app pages actually display; the inclusion of a region in this list does not mean that all features or all products are available in that region.
1.6Use outside the Service Regions: countries and regions outside the list above (including Macao, China, mainland China, the member states of the European Union and the United Kingdom) are outside the scope of our service. If you download or use this app through other channels, we will still provide the service to you under this Agreement, but we have not performed local data processing registration, appointed a local representative or agent, registered for content grading or complied with other territorial compliance obligations in those regions, and we do not assume those obligations because you use the service there. You should decide for yourself whether to use the service, in compliance with local law. The regional supplementary provisions in Chapter 20 apply only after the relevant region is actually open for the service and the app has been listed in its app stores; until then those provisions do not constitute a commitment by us to the relevant regulators.
1.7In some markets certain products may be delayed or temporarily withdrawn because of app store review, payment channel requirements or local regulatory requirements. The products actually available and their prices are those displayed on the in-app purchase page. We may also add or remove a region within the list of Service Regions above. Where a region is removed, paid benefits you purchased before the removal are performed under the original terms until the relevant benefit expires; where performance is objectively impossible, we handle the matter in the manner described in Section 15.5.
1.8Terminology: so that this Agreement uses the same terms as the app, the following terms refer to the same thing in this Agreement, in the app interface and in the English version, and are not to be interpreted differently because of differences in wording:
(a)“companion” (Chinese 伙伴): a virtual conversational character in this service, whether preset by us or created by you, generated and driven by artificial intelligence models. The app interface also calls it a “character”, an “exclusive companion” or a “custom companion”; this Agreement uses “companion” throughout. A companion is not a real person and has no real personality, consciousness or emotions;
(b)“custom companion”: a companion that you name, whose persona you define, whose avatar you upload and for which you may optionally configure voice cloning. The entry point in the app is “Create your companion”; using that feature requires separately agreeing to the Companion Creation and Voice Cloning Agreement (UD-VRC-01);
(c)“points” (unit: pts): the unit of account used in the app to offset feature consumption. The app interface also calls them “pts”;
(d)“quota”: the points limit consumable within a subscription billing period, namely the “maximum usable amount”, determined per billing period and lapsing at the end of that period. It is the ceiling on the amount you may use in that period; it is not a quantity of points that we must deliver to you, that you have purchased or that you own. The specific rules are in Section 8.2.1. The app interface also calls it “quota” or “quota limit”;
(e)“points that never expire”: the points granted once at registration, together with the points contained in any Points Pack you purchase. Points that never expire do not lapse on expiry or cancellation of a subscription. The app interface describes them as “points that never expire”; the regional exception for the Japanese market is in Section 8.4.1;
(f)“Points Pack”: a one-off, non-renewing top-up of points, offered in several sizes, with the amounts and prices of each size as displayed on the purchase page. In this Agreement, “Pack” and “Points Pack” have the same meaning;
(g)“monthly subscription”: a PLUS or PRO subscription that renews automatically each month and may be cancelled at any time;
(h)“30-Day Pass”: a membership option with a fixed term of 30 days (720 hours from successful payment), paid once and not renewing automatically, classified by app stores as a Non-Renewing Subscription;
(i)“Subscription Center”: the page in the app used to view and manage subscriptions, quota, points records and orders;
(j)“voice cloning”: the feature that generates a dedicated voice model from voice samples you provide so that a companion can read text in that voice;
(k)the references in this Agreement to “AI reply”, “live call”, “voice input”, “voice to text”, “read aloud”, “photo scan”, “photo message”, “group chat”, “translate” and “proactive message” correspond to the app features of the same names, and their billing rules are set out in Section 8.3;
(l)“reverts to FREE” is displayed in the app as “Reverts to FREE on expiry”; “unused quota does not carry over” is displayed as “unused quota does not carry over”; the Subscription Center page also displays the relevant dates as “Valid until” and “Next renewal”. Those interface texts have the same meaning as the provisions of this Agreement.
Chapter 2 Description of the Service
2.1Uooda is a virtual companionship and AI conversation application based on artificial intelligence technology, offering text chat, live calls, speech synthesis, photo scan, companion browsing, custom companions and other features.
2.2All companions in the service are generated or driven by artificial intelligence models. They are not real persons and have no real personality, consciousness, emotions or memory. Any opinion, emotion or remembered content expressed by a companion is algorithm output.
2.3The service is provided for entertainment, companionship and language practice only, and does not constitute psychological therapy, medical diagnosis, legal advice, financial advice or any other professional service. For those matters, please consult a suitably qualified professional.
2.4The service is provided as it actually is, as updated and as presented. We may add, modify, restrict or discontinue features, and will comply with the notice obligations in Chapter 15.
2.5The availability of the service may be affected by factors such as your device, operating system version, network environment and the status of third-party services.
2.6The service is for individual consumers only. Without our written consent, you must not use the service for commercial operations, agency operation, bulk account management or other profit-making activity directed at third parties.
Chapter 3 Eligibility, Registration and Accounts
3.1You must satisfy all of the following conditions in order to use the service:
(a)you are at least 18 years old and have reached the age of majority prescribed in your country or region; where the two differ, the higher applies. As regards our Service Regions, as at the date of this Agreement the age of majority is 19 in Canada and Korea, 20 in New Zealand and Thailand, 21 in Singapore, and 18 elsewhere; in some states of the United States the age of majority is higher than 18, in which case the law of that state applies;
(b)your age is assessed by reference to the country or region you enter and confirm at registration. During registration we verify your date of birth against the statutory age of majority for that country or region, and registration cannot be completed below that age; the country or region may be changed in settings, and the verification is repeated for the new region;
3.1.1country or region at registration: we preselect a country or region for you based on the IP location, and you may change it. That choice determines the applicable regional supplementary provisions (Chapter 20), the price zone for paid products and the age verification standard under this Section. If, after changing your country or region, you no longer meet the applicable age requirement, we may suspend the account under Section 3.6;
(c)you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract;
(d)you are not located in a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions or embargo by the United States government, and you are not on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
3.2Age assurance and handling of minors:
(a)the service is not directed to anyone below the age of majority prescribed in their country or region (which is not lower than 18). We do not knowingly collect personal information, including biometric information such as voiceprints, from anyone below that age; this service does not provide for an exception based on guardian consent.
(b)even with the consent of a parent or other guardian, users below the age of majority prescribed in their country or region may not register for or use the service, that age being not lower than 18. We do not accept or recognise any consent given by a guardian on behalf of a minor, and we do not offer a parental consent mechanism.
(c)if we learn, whether through a report, an age check or otherwise, that an account is used by a minor, we will immediately suspend the account, stop processing the personal information relating to it, and delete the account and the related data (except where retention is required by law). Any paid subscription and points under that account lapse from the date of suspension, and amounts paid are not refunded unless mandatory applicable law requires a refund.
(d)if you become aware that a minor is using this service, please tell us in the manner described in Chapter 21.
3.3You undertake to provide true, accurate and complete information at registration and to update it promptly when it changes. You bear the consequences of information you provide that is inaccurate or incomplete.
3.4Your account is for your personal use only. You must not sell, transfer, lend or share your account, or allow any third party to use the service through your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
3.5You should keep your account credentials safe. If you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account, please notify us immediately in the manner described in Chapter 21. Until we receive such notice, you remain responsible for activity under your account.
3.6We may suspend or terminate your account, or restrict some features, in the following circumstances:
(a)you breach this Agreement or its annexes;
(b)you provide false registration information or impersonate another person, including circumventing age limits;
(c)your use is suspected of being unlawful, or may cause harm to others, to us or to the public;
(d)compliance with laws, regulations, court orders or requests from competent authorities requires it;
(e)it is necessary to protect the security of the service, other users or the public.
3.7Account closure: you may initiate closure in “Settings” in the app. After closure you will no longer be able to sign in to that account, and the related data is handled in accordance with Chapter 7 of the Privacy Policy. Please note:
(a)closing your account does not automatically cancel a subscription you took out through an app store; you must cancel the subscription separately under Chapter 8 of the Subscription and Billing Terms, failing which the subscription will continue to be charged;
(b)on closure, the quota and points that never expire in your account lapse at the same time, are not refunded and cannot be transferred;
(c)if you register again after closure, this is treated as a new account, and the previous conversation records, companions, points and benefits are not restored.
3.8If you object to action taken in respect of your account, you may appeal under Section 9.4. We will review the matter and reply within a reasonable period. An appeal does not affect temporary measures we take as required by law.
Chapter 4 Personal Information and Privacy
4.1We collect, use, store, share and protect your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy, which forms part of this Agreement.
4.2The text, voice and images in your interactions with companions constitute “Interaction Data” as defined in the AI Services and Data Processing Agreement, and their transmission to third-party model service providers and processing are governed by that Agreement.
4.3You understand and agree that the technical implementation of the AI features requires your input to be transmitted to third-party model service providers for processing, failing which no reply can be generated. That transmission is an integral part of providing the service and does not constitute a separate sale or sharing of your personal information.
4.4We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not sell or share “personal information” as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act and its amendments (CCPA/CPRA); see Chapter 10 of the Privacy Policy.
Chapter 5 Specific Statements on AI-Generated Content
5.1You expressly acknowledge that the conversations, voice and other content in the service are generated by technologies such as large language models and speech synthesis models. Subject to current technical limitations, AI output may have the following characteristics:
(a)factual error: generating inaccurate, fabricated or misleading information;
(b)inconsistency: expressing contradictory content in different conversations;
(c)inappropriate content: despite the content safety measures we have deployed, output may still differ from your expectations or make you uncomfortable;
(d)limits of simulated emotion: a companion's “emotional expression” is an algorithm's simulation of human language patterns; it does not constitute real emotion, nor a promise, diagnosis or assessment in respect of you;
(e)value bias: model output may reflect statistical tendencies in its training data and does not represent our position.
5.2You should not rely on AI output as a basis for facts, professional advice or decisions. Decisions you make in reliance on AI output, and their consequences, are yours. AI output does not constitute medical, psychological, legal, tax, investment or any other professional advice, nor confirmation of any fact.
5.3We do not warrant that AI output will meet your particular needs, match your expectations, or be free of content that makes you uncomfortable. If you encounter inappropriate output, you may tell us through the feedback channel in the app.
5.4Labelling of AI content: we apply labels, tags, watermarks, statements or machine-readable metadata to AI-generated content to indicate that it was generated by artificial intelligence, with machine-readable metadata to the extent technically feasible. You must not remove, alter, conceal or otherwise circumvent those labels, or present AI-generated content as the work of a real person or as a record of real events.
5.5Notice on emotional dependence: AI companionship products may give rise to emotional dependence, intensify loneliness, or reinforce mistaken beliefs about the reality of companions, their emotions and their memory. Please keep reasonable expectations, manage the time you spend, and understand that a companion's memory, preferences and “care” are programmatic output and may change or be lost as models are updated, as context length limits apply or as data is cleaned up. If you experience emotional distress, anxiety, depression or thoughts of self-harm, please stop using the service immediately and seek professional help, or contact local crisis resources as described in Section 6.3.
5.6Scope and necessity of content moderation: we use automated systems to run safety checks on the content you send (text, images and text transcribed from voice) and on AI-generated replies. Those checks are performed automatically, without item-by-item human review. They are an integral part of generating a reply, are carried out within the same processing flow as model inference, and are not charged separately.
5.6.1Handling of failed checks: where the content you send does not comply with Section 9.1, the Companion Creation and Voice Cloning Agreement or applicable law, the system blocks that request. The AI companion does not respond and no reply content is generated; the app may display only a fixed notice, which does not constitute an AI reply. Where an AI-generated reply fails the check, we likewise prevent that content from being sent.
5.6.2Mistaken blocking and review: such checks may produce mistaken results, including blocking lawful content or allowing infringing content through. Where a check fails and no reply is generated, no points are consumed under Section 8.3(a). You may request a review under Section 9.4; we will examine the content of that request only where you apply for a review or where we cooperate with an investigation by a competent authority as required by law.
5.7You must not use the service to generate or disseminate false information, deepfakes, impersonation of others, manipulation of public opinion, or to circumvent identity verification.
Chapter 6 Safety Interventions and Emergency Situations
6.1To reduce risk, the service includes safety intervention mechanisms. Where we detect content that may involve self-harm, suicide, violence, abuse or other emergency risk, we may take one or more of the following measures: displaying safety notices and helpline resources, adjusting the conversation strategy, restricting certain features, or temporarily freezing the account.
6.2Emergency contact (optional): you may voluntarily provide the email address of one emergency contact in Settings. That address is used in only two situations: (a) where the account has been protectively frozen by a safety mechanism and you apply to have it lifted, we send a verification code to that address in order to verify you; (b) where you expressly ask us to help you get in touch, we contact that contact in the manner you specify. Apart from those situations, we do not automatically send notices to that contact because a system has detected risk, and we do not disclose the content of your conversations to it. This feature is a best-efforts auxiliary measure: we do not guarantee that the contact can be reached, and it does not constitute emergency rescue. If you have not provided a contact, we will not contact any third party on our own initiative. See Section 2.1(e) of the Privacy Policy for how the relevant information is handled.
6.3We are not an emergency rescue service: we cannot dispatch rescue and cannot guarantee a real-time response. If you or another person is in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency services at once. The app provides a list of hotlines and support resources for some regions for reference only; we are not responsible for its accuracy, availability or currency.
6.4The mechanisms described in Section 6.1 are auxiliary, best-efforts safety measures. They do not constitute any guarantee, guardianship or warranty by us in respect of your physical safety or that of any third party, nor do they constitute medical or psychological intervention.
6.5Where a feature is restricted because a safety mechanism has been triggered, you may apply for a review during the restriction period by following the prompts in the app. We will deal with it as soon as practicable after verification.
Chapter 7 Custom Companions and Voice Cloning
7.1The custom companion features (including companion naming, persona settings, avatar upload and voice cloning) are made available according to your membership tier; the exact scope available is as displayed in the app. Before using them you must enter into the Companion Creation and Voice Cloning Agreement (UD-VRC-01).
7.2Voice cloning requires you to record and upload a voice sample. The sample is used only to generate your dedicated voice model. The time limit for deleting the original voice sample follows the written retention schedule in Section 2.5.2 of the Privacy Policy and Section 2.3 of UD-VRC-01, and original voice samples are not included in our data backups.
7.3Biometric information: in some jurisdictions (including Illinois, Texas and Washington in the United States), a voiceprint may constitute a “biometric identifier” or “biometric information”. Before collection, we will inform you in writing (through a separate consent screen in the app) of the following three matters and obtain your separate written consent (given by ticking a box): (a) the specific type of biometric identifier processed, namely your voice sample and its voiceprint features; (b) the specific purpose of processing; (c) the retention period and destruction schedule. Collection does not begin until that notice has been given. The content of that notice is set out in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 of UD-VRC-01. That notice does not constitute delivery to you of the voiceprint data itself; if you wish to inspect a copy of the personal information we hold about you, please exercise your rights under Section 9 of the Privacy Policy.
7.4You must not use the voice cloning feature to clone another person's voice unless you have obtained that rightholder's clear, verifiable written authorisation. You must not use a cloned voice to impersonate, defraud, harass, create non-consensual content, conduct political propaganda, or for any unlawful purpose.
7.5You must not create a companion that contains any of the following:
(a)impersonates a real person or a public figure, or uses their name, likeness or voice in a way sufficient to make others mistake the companion for a real person;
(b)involves the sexualisation of minors, violence, hatred, discrimination or other unlawful content;
(c)has a name, avatar or persona that could reasonably be mistaken for our official account, an official companion or an official statement of ours;
(d)infringes another person's intellectual property rights, rights of likeness, right of publicity, privacy or other lawful rights and interests.
7.6A custom companion and its associated data may be used only within your own account. You must not extract, export, copy or disseminate that data, or use it for any purpose outside the service.
7.7Nature of companions: companions in the service fall into two categories, namely custom companions that you create and configure, and preset companions that we have configured for you to choose from (including, without limitation, the system roles we have configured). Both categories are the operating vehicle of a feature we provide in the service, generated and run by our systems. They are not your digital assets or virtual property, nor are they transferable, inheritable or reclaimable rights; and your creating or using a companion does not place us under any duty of custody, maintenance or restoration in respect of any particular companion instance. What you hold under this service is the right to use the companion features while your membership is valid. That right is not tied to any particular companion instance, and the recycling, adjustment or retirement of any instance does not affect your continued exercise of that right.
7.7.1Recycling of idle companions: if you have taken no action in respect of a custom companion for 30 consecutive days, we may recycle that companion instance and its associated data. Actions include chatting with the companion by text or voice and editing that companion's role settings; any one such action restarts the 30-day period. The scope of recycling covers the companion instance, its voice model and timbre, avatar, role card, and the chat history, memories and conversation understanding between you and that companion. Once recycled, the instance cannot be restored and we no longer keep its associated data.
7.7.2Consequences of recycling: recycling does not deprive you of the rights described in Section 7.7. (a) You may re-create a companion at any time while your membership is valid; we allocate a new instance and regenerate the timbre, and re-creation is free of charge; (b) ownership of the persona text you entered for the companion, the images you uploaded and the voice you recorded is governed by Section 10.3, and once the vehicle has been recycled we no longer keep that content; (c) recycling does not give rise to a refund and does not extend the term of any purchased entitlement. We may give notice before recycling through in-app messages or otherwise, but we do not guarantee delivery; failure to receive a notice does not affect the validity of the recycling.
7.7.3Adjustment of preset companions: preset companions are configured and operated by us as a whole and are not content created or customised by you. In order to improve the product, meet content safety requirements, accommodate changes of technology or model providers, update artwork and voice assets, correct configuration errors, or adjust our operating strategy, we may adjust, update, replace or retire their appearance (avatar, standing art, look and visual presentation), timbre (voice model, pronunciation and speaking style), persona (name, age, background, personality, manner of speaking and relationship setting) and the features provided. Where an adjustment does not change the fundamental nature of the service and does not materially reduce the entitlements corresponding to the consideration you have paid, we may implement it directly without separate notice, and it does not constitute an amendment of this Agreement or a breach by us. Where an adjustment materially reduces core entitlements within a period you have paid for, we will give advance notice under Section 8.17.3, subject to the limits set out in Section 8.17.5. Such adjustments do not affect the ownership and retention of your existing chat history, memories and conversation understanding, but once a preset companion is retired you can no longer continue a conversation with it. We do not owe any obligation to keep the appearance, timbre or persona of a preset companion unchanged in perpetuity.
7.8Storage costs and risk control: to control storage costs and reduce the risk of holding data over the long term, we may, where an account has been inactive for a long period, clear chat history, memories and the conversation understanding a companion has formed in conversations, and release the related voice timbres. In that event we retain your account, points, order records and any companion instances not recycled under Section 7.7 (name, persona, avatar); chat history and memories cannot be restored. This Section describes an operating measure of ours; it does not constitute a commitment that we will carry out a clean-up within any particular period, and it does not affect the term of any paid entitlement.
7.9We may carry out safety reviews of custom companions and their associated content. Where a violation is found, we may deal with it under Section 9.2.
7.10Unified approach to data retention: the retention periods and deletion rules for conversation and account information, server and security logs, de-identified data sets, acceptance records, account-deletion traces and backup copies are uniformly governed by the four retention tiers in Section 7 of the Privacy Policy: 12 months (logs, minimum account-deletion traces, monthly backups and the trigger line for inactivity clean-up), 24 months (de-identified corpora and aggregate statistics), 3 years (risk-control and dispute files) and 7 years (transaction ledgers, acceptance records and annual backups). Where this Agreement and the Privacy Policy differ, Section 7 of the Privacy Policy prevails.
7.11Understanding and memory in conversations: so that a companion stays coherent across later conversations and its replies fit your way of expressing yourself and your situation, our systems use the content of your conversations with a companion to form information that the companion can refer to (the “conversation understanding”), such as personal circumstances, preferences, recent events and interaction style you mention in conversation. Conversation understanding is distinct from chat history and memories: chat history is the original content exchanged between you and a companion, memories are the statements and key points you make in conversation, and conversation understanding is information the system compiles from them for the companion to refer to in later conversations. Conversation understanding is formed automatically by the system in the course of conversation, may be inaccurate, and is updated or replaced as new conversations take place; it is not a determination about your identity, eligibility, ability or reputation, and we do not use it to evaluate, score or classify you, or to make decisions that produce legal effects or other similarly significant effects. Conversation understanding is used only to provide the service to you, is not provided to third parties for their own purposes, and is not used for advertising targeting, credit assessment or commercial promotion. To provide the service, that information may form part of the conversation context and be transmitted with requests to the model providers listed in Section 5.2 of the Privacy Policy, solely for generating replies and for content safety checks (see Section 5.6 and Section 2 of the AI Services and Data Processing Agreement). You may at any time delete your conversation history with a companion, and the conversation understanding formed from it, through “Delete chat history and AI memory” in the app; basic profile information you voluntarily provide in Settings (nickname, gender, date of birth, interests) is not deleted by that operation, and you may amend or clear it yourself.
Chapter 8 Membership, Points and Payment
8.1Membership tiers: the service offers free basic features and paid membership. The names, number and entitlement boundaries of paid tiers are determined by us; we currently offer two tiers, PLUS and PRO, and we may add, merge, rename or discontinue tiers under Section 8.17. The quota limit (maximum usable amount) and the feature permissions of each tier are as shown on the purchase page and in the in-app description of entitlements. Some features have a minimum tier requirement; the specific threshold is as displayed in the app and may be adjusted under Section 8.17.
8.2The points system (two-pool structure): the points in an account consist of two parts, which are accounted for separately and expire separately. The subscription quota operates on a “maximum usable amount” basis: for each billing period we provide a cap on the points you may use, and you use features within that cap, rather than purchasing a fixed number of points.
(a)Subscription quota: a cap set per billing period, which expires at the end of the current subscription period and is neither carried over nor converted into cash. The cap is determined by your membership tier and price region and is as shown on the purchase page;
(b)Points that never expire: including the one-off points granted at registration and the points contained in any Points Pack you purchase. They do not expire when a subscription expires or is cancelled, nor are they reset when your membership tier changes. Except for the regional exception in Section 8.4, other provisions of this Agreement or requirements of law, points that never expire remain valid indefinitely;
(c)Order of deduction: when points are consumed, the subscription quota is deducted first, and points that never expire are deducted only where the quota is insufficient;
(d)Points may be used only to offset feature consumption within the service. They have no monetary character, cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred or given as a gift, cannot be combined across accounts, and do not constitute a claim by you against us.
8.2.1The maximum usable amount principle: what a subscriber purchases is membership, and the right to use the features within the quota limit for the current period, and not a fixed number of points. Accordingly:
(a)the price you pay is determined by membership tier and billing period, not by a number of points. The quota limit is the maximum amount that may be consumed in that period; it is not a number of points that we must deliver to you, that you have purchased or that you own, and it does not constitute a claim by you against us or a divisible property interest;
(b)the amount actually consumed is for you to decide and may be zero or may reach the limit. Consuming less than the limit does not mean that we have under-performed, and gives rise to no discount, refund or conversion into cash, nor to points being carried over to the next period or exchanged for other entitlements;
(c)the quota limit does not guarantee any number of uses, duration of use or number of words. The consumption rates and billing units of individual features may be adjusted (Sections 8.3, 8.3.1 and 15.1), and the same limit may buy different amounts of use at different times;
(d)we may adjust the quota limit of each tier (Section 15.1). An adjustment does not apply retroactively to a billing period that you have paid for and that is still running; during that period the limit published at the time of purchase applies, and on renewal the limit published at that time applies. If you do not accept an adjustment, you may stop renewing at the end of the current period, or cancel the subscription under Section 8 of the Subscription and Billing Terms;
(e)the subscription quota is not a prepayment, a stored-value balance or a prepaid card balance. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the subscription quota is not administered as a prepaid payment instrument or a stored-value account, and holding quota does not give you a right to repayment from us; Points Packs in the Japanese market are additionally subject to Section 8.4.1;
(f)the quota limit, the amount consumed and the remaining available amount are determined by server records, and you may view them in the Subscription Center at any time. If you disagree with those records, you may request a review under Section 9.4;
(g)this Section does not exclude or limit any right of yours under applicable law that cannot be waived. Where a mandatory local rule imposes other requirements in respect of the subscription quota, we comply with that rule (Section 8.10.3).
8.3Points consumption rates: the following features consume points per use, per image or per unit of time, at the rates published on the “Subscription Center → Points” page in the app. No points are consumed for a request that fails the content safety check under Section 5.6 and for which no reply is generated:
(a)text conversation: charged only where the AI generates a reply; the text messages you send yourself do not consume points;
(b)messages initiated by the AI: messages that a companion sends on its own initiative, such as a proactive greeting, a scheduled wish or a plot development, are charged on the same basis as messages you initiate;
(c)image recognition: charged per image;
(d)speech recognition (speech to text): charged per use;
(e)read-aloud (text to speech): charged per use; where the same passage is replayed and a cache hit occurs, no further charge is made;
(f)translation: charged per use;
(g)real-time voice calls: charged by duration and pro-rated by the minute, settled in a single charge when the call ends;
(h)group chat: each reply sent by each companion is charged separately, on the same basis as a one-to-one chat.
8.3.1We may adjust the rates and the billing method. An adjustment does not apply retroactively to consumption that occurred before it, and we will give advance notice under Section 15.1. If you disagree with a particular charge, you may request a review under Section 9.4; we will reply after checking the server-side transaction record.
8.4Points Pack (the “Pack”): a Pack is a one-off top-up of points, offered in several tiers by face value, the number of tiers, face values and prices being as shown on the purchase page. A Pack may be purchased only while you hold a valid paid membership (including during the term of a monthly subscription or a 30-Day Pass). Points in a Pack are credited as points that never expire and do not lapse when a subscription is cancelled or expires; a Pack only increases your points balance and does not unlock any membership-only feature.
8.4.1Regional exception (Japan): under Japan's Payment Services Act (資金決済法) and its rules on prepaid payment instruments, the points contained in a Pack offered in Japan have a validity period running from the date of purchase, the specific period being clearly displayed on the purchase page; any part unused when that period expires lapses and is not refunded, converted into cash or carried over. Pack points in service regions other than Japan have no validity period. If Packs are not currently available in the Japanese market, whether they appear on the purchase page governs.
8.4.2Cross-border purchases: the regions in which a Pack may be purchased, the currency of pricing and the points face value are determined by the app store storefront you are in. Because prepaid payment instrument, gift card and stored-value rules differ between countries, the same Pack may have a different validity period or face value in different regions, or may not be purchasable there.
8.4.3Price and settlement: the price of a Pack is as shown on the purchase page and includes applicable taxes (collected and remitted by the app store under its own rules); the currency and amount actually settled are as shown on the app store's confirmation page. Face values and prices may differ between price regions and storefronts, and a given face value may not be offered in some regions; such differences do not constitute price discrimination, nor a most-favoured-price or lowest-price commitment. The conditions of promotions, bonus points or discounts are as stated on the campaign page.
8.4.4No auto-renewal, no cancellation needed, no re-issue on restore: a Pack is a one-off, consumable product. It does not renew automatically, gives rise to no subsequent charge, and needs no cancellation after purchase. Because it is a consumable, the app store does not treat it as eligible for “Restore Purchases”, and we will not credit the points for the same purchase twice; if you change device or reinstall the app, your points balance is retained with your account, as determined by server records.
8.4.5Completion of delivery and no refunds: a Pack is digital content delivered immediately. When you complete payment, the corresponding points are added to your account's points balance and are immediately usable, and our delivery obligation under the Pack is performed at the same moment. Accordingly, once a Pack has been purchased and credited, we do not accept returns or process reversals, and we do not discount, convert into cash or exchange for other products any unused part; where the credited points have been consumed in whole or in part, the basis for a refund is weaker still. This Section does not exclude the rights listed in Section 8.10.3 that cannot be excluded under applicable law, nor does it affect any handling of an individual transaction by the app store under its own policies: where the store makes a refund, we claw back the corresponding points under Section 8.10(b).
8.5All payments are made through in-app purchase in an app store (Apple App Store or Google Play). We do not directly collect or store your full payment card number in the app. Your purchase is also subject to that app store's terms.
8.6Prices are as shown on the purchase page and include applicable taxes (collected and remitted by the app store under its own rules). We may display prices in different currencies on the purchase page; the currency and amount actually settled are as shown on the app store's confirmation page. The price of the same item may differ between countries or regions and between price regions.
8.7Auto-renewing subscriptions and one-off products: the PLUS and PRO monthly subscriptions renew automatically by default, and at purchase you must separately tick to accept the Subscription and Billing Terms (UD-ARS-01), whose billing, renewal, cancellation and refund rules govern. The 30-Day Pass and Points Packs are one-off products: they do not renew automatically, give rise to no subsequent charge, and require no acceptance of those Terms at purchase; their rules are set out in Sections 8.4 and 8.8, and refunds are handled under Sections 8.9 and 8.10. The three product types do not substitute for one another: purchasing a 30-Day Pass or a Pack does not constitute a subscription; cancelling a subscription does not refund a 30-Day Pass, does not extend its term, and does not affect points already credited as points that never expire.
8.830-Day Pass (fixed 30-day term, no auto-renewal): the 30-Day Pass is offered in versions by membership tier, currently a PLUS and a PRO version, as shown on the purchase page. Its term is 720 hours (30 days) from successful payment, not calculated by calendar month; it is paid once, does not renew automatically and ends on expiry. During its term the entitlements are the same as those of a monthly subscription of the same tier, and the points quota for the period is credited in one go at purchase. The product is what app stores call a “non-renewing subscription”; it may be purchased repeatedly, without limit on the number of purchases. A 30-Day Pass gives rise to no automatic charge; the provisions of this Agreement on auto-renewal, free trials and cancellation do not apply to it, and the treatment of your tier on expiry is governed by Section 8.15.
8.8.1No cancellation needed: the 30-Day Pass is a one-off, fixed-term product. There is no automatic renewal and no “cancel subscription” action; it ends automatically on expiry without any action on your part, and we will not charge again for that product on expiry.
8.8.2No free trial: the 30-Day Pass has no free trial period. Where the purchase page also offers a promotional price, its conditions are as stated on the campaign page, and a promotion does not change the fixed term or the non-renewing nature described in this Section.
8.8.3Expiry and repurchase: when the term expires, your membership reverts to FREE (Section 8.15), unused subscription quota lapses, and points that never expire together with any companion instances not recycled under Section 7.7.1 are retained. You may purchase again at any time; a further purchase is on the price and entitlements published at that time, and we do not guarantee continuation of the previous price, quota limit or promotional terms.
8.8.4Restoration: app stores do not treat the 30-Day Pass as a non-consumable that can be restored across devices, so it is not rebuilt through the store's “Restore Purchases”. If you change device or reinstall the app, you may use “Restore Purchases” in the app or contact us, and after verifying the order number we will restore the remaining part of that purchase that is still valid; a purchase that has expired or been refunded cannot be restored, and restoration itself is free of charge.
8.8.5Coexistence with a subscription: if you purchase a monthly subscription while a 30-Day Pass is still valid, the entitlements do not stack, offset or extend one another: your membership tier is that of the higher of the two, the terms run separately, the subscription's automatic renewal is unaffected by the 30-Day Pass, and the expiry of the 30-Day Pass does not terminate the subscription.
8.8.6Usage restrictions: a 30-Day Pass may be used only by the account that purchased it. It may not be transferred, resold or shared with others, and is not available for corporate or group bulk purchase.
8.9Refund decisions rest with the app store: all payments for the service are made through the app store, which collects the price. Whether to refund, the amount refunded and the method of refund are decided independently by that store under its refund policy and applicable law; we have no power to decide or to initiate a refund on its behalf, and we make no promise or guarantee that any particular transaction is refundable. If you disagree with the store's handling, you should raise it with the store. Where the store does process a refund, the corresponding entitlements are handled under Section 8.10; that handling is our implementation of the store's outcome, does not constitute a separate refund obligation on our part, and does not constitute our acceptance of the refund request.
8.10Treatment of entitlements once a refund takes effect: once the app store confirms a refund, the corresponding entitlements are handled under the following rules. Those rules describe where entitlements rest after a refund occurs; they do not constitute our consent to the refund itself, nor a commitment as to what is refundable:
(a)refund of a membership subscription: your membership reverts to FREE immediately when the refund takes effect, with no grace period; subscription quota not yet used under that subscription lapses at the same time; subscription quota you actually consumed before the refund is not refunded, replaced or discounted; where such consumption and the refund request are markedly close in time, or any circumstance listed in Section 8.13 exists, we handle it under Section 8.14;
(b)refund of a Points Pack: when the refund takes effect we claw back the points that never expire contained in that Pack, down to a balance of zero. Any shortfall is not extinguished by the reduction to zero; we reserve our rights to claim that part in accordance with law, and whether we do so is at our discretion having regard to the circumstances. The services corresponding to points already consumed have actually been provided and do not become refundable again by reason of the refund;
(c)refund of a 30-Day Pass: the membership entitlements under that purchase end immediately when the refund takes effect, and the remaining term is not compensated;
(d)the foregoing does not affect consumer rights you hold under applicable law that cannot be waived.
8.10.1Cancellation and refund are two different things: cancellation (also called unsubscribing) means stopping the automatic charge for subsequent periods; you may do it yourself in the app store at any time, without giving reasons and at no cost, and its effect is described in Section 9 of the Subscription and Billing Terms. A refund means asking for the price already paid to be returned, and the decision rests with the app store (Section 8.9). Cancellation does not produce a refund, and the charge for a period already paid is not returned because of cancellation; nor does a refund automatically cancel the subscription, which you must still cancel separately, failing which subsequent periods will still be charged. Where this Agreement uses “cancel” or “unsubscribe”, it means stopping subsequent charges and does not imply the return of any price.
8.10.2Immediate delivery and exclusion of withdrawal without cause: the paid products under this service are all digital content, delivered immediately on completion of payment and provided from that moment: membership takes effect immediately, subscription quota is immediately usable, and Pack points are immediately added to the balance, with no waiting period in any case. Under the consumer protection laws of most service regions, the right of withdrawal without cause or a cooling-off period does not apply to digital content that the consumer has consented to and whose provision has begun. The purchase page gives notice that such products are delivered immediately and that returns without cause do not apply once provision has begun; by confirming a purchase on the purchase page you indicate that you are aware that such content begins to be provided immediately and agree not to assert a withdrawal without cause in that situation. Situations that the law does not permit to be excluded are governed by Section 8.10.3.
8.10.3Rights that may not be excluded: this Section does not exclude rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law. We act in accordance with that law only in the following situations and only to the extent that law mandatorily requires: (a) the paid product was not actually delivered, or what was delivered differs materially from what the purchase page displayed; (b) the service is unavailable for a prolonged period for reasons attributable to us and we have not remedied it by extending the service or refunding under Section 15.5 or Section 9.10 of the Subscription and Billing Terms; (c) local law provides, for a particular type of product, a right of withdrawal or cooling-off period that cannot be excluded by agreement, and that product is not digital content whose provision has begun. Apart from those situations, prices paid are not refunded.
8.11Price changes: we may change subscription prices and entitlements. A price change does not apply retroactively to a billing period you have purchased and that is still running. Before a new price takes effect we will give advance notice under Section 15.1 and the app store's rules; if you do not agree to the new price, you may cancel the subscription before it takes effect.
8.12Promotions and trials: we may offer discounts or promotional prices. Whether a free trial is offered, its length and its conditions are as stated on the campaign page; we do not currently offer a free trial to all users by default. When a trial period ends, the subscription renews automatically at the price disclosed on the purchase page. Where a campaign page and this Agreement differ, the campaign page prevails as regards promotional matters.
8.13You must not obtain or use paid entitlements by any of the following means:
(a)using a payment method obtained by fraud or theft, or one you are not entitled to use;
(b)exploiting system vulnerabilities, mispricing or settlement errors to obtain entitlements;
(c)maliciously initiating a chargeback, or applying for a refund on false grounds after actually consuming paid entitlements, applying for refunds repeatedly, or using refunds in place of normal purchases;
(d)reselling, renting out or sharing subscription entitlements or points;
(e)repeatedly obtaining a one-off discount, gift or trial through multiple accounts, bulk registration or otherwise.
8.14Where the preceding Section applies, we are entitled to revoke the relevant entitlements, recover unjust enrichment, suspend or terminate the account, and report to payment institutions or law enforcement authorities. Entitlements already consumed and services already provided do not become refundable again by reason of a refund or chargeback; as to any outstanding amount, we reserve our rights under law.
8.15Expiry and downgrade: after a subscription expires without renewal, is cancelled or a refund takes effect, or after a 30-Day Pass ends, your membership reverts to FREE and subscription quota lapses; points that never expire, companion instances not recycled under Section 7.7.1 and order records are retained. After the downgrade, features beyond the FREE tier (such as some companions and some features) are unavailable, and some content already created may no longer be usable or accessible.
8.16General rules for one-off products: in addition to their own provisions, the products under Sections 8.4 and 8.8 are subject to the following:
(a)price and taxes: as shown on the purchase page and the store's confirmation page, including applicable taxes; the price and face value of the same item may differ between price regions and storefronts;
(b)evidentiary effect: orders, charges and points movements are determined by server records, and where they conflict with the store's transaction records the store's records prevail; you may view orders and points records in the Subscription Center;
(c)mispricing and settlement errors: where a system failure, a pricing error or a settlement error causes the transaction price to depart markedly from the normal price, we may cancel that order and refund through the original payment channel, or agree with you on payment of the difference; until the refund or the difference is settled we may withhold or reduce the corresponding entitlements;
(d)improper acquisition: where a one-off product is obtained by using a payment method obtained by fraud or theft, by exploiting a vulnerability or mispricing, by malicious chargeback, or by applying for a refund on false grounds or repeatedly after consuming entitlements, we handle it under Sections 8.13 and 8.14;
(e)dispute resolution: disputes arising from such products are governed by Chapter 17 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution) and Chapter 13 (Limitation of Liability) of this Agreement;
(f)rights that cannot be waived: this Section does not exclude rights you hold under applicable law that cannot be waived, including statutory rights of withdrawal, cooling-off periods and consumer protection rights (see Chapter 20). Where a mandatory local rule is inconsistent with this Section, we act in accordance with that rule;
(g)market availability: those products are not offered in all service regions. Whether they can be purchased in a given region, and the face values and terms available, are as actually displayed on the purchase page (Sections 1.5 and 1.7);
(h)no refunds: those products are all digital content delivered immediately, and provision begins once payment is complete; after purchase we do not accept returns, do not process reversals, and do not discount, convert into cash or exchange any unused part. Section 8.10 regulates only where entitlements rest after the app store has processed a refund; it does not constitute recognition that those products are refundable, and Section 8.4.5 additionally applies to Points Packs.
8.17Adjustment of the product system and sales rules: to accommodate technology costs, model service pricing, exchange rates and market changes, we reserve room to adjust the product system and sales rules. The following matters are determined by us and may be adjusted, and their current content is as shown on the purchase page, in the Subscription Center and in the in-app description of entitlements:
(a)product types: whether auto-renewing subscriptions, 30-Day Passes, Points Packs and other products are offered, and how each type is combined;
(b)tiers and face values: the number of tiers, the face values, terms and versions of each product;
(c)membership tiers: the number of tiers, their names, entitlement boundaries and feature thresholds;
(d)how quota is determined: the quota limit for each price region and tier, and the method of calculating it;
(e)points consumption rates and billing units: the deduction standard for each feature (per use, per image, per unit of time);
(f)billing periods: the length and the available options of the billing period for auto-renewing subscriptions;
(g)promotions and discounts: the rules, scope and duration of gifts, trials, coupons and bonus points;
(h)sales regions: the opening, suspension and closing of service regions (Sections 1.5 and 1.7).
8.17.1Publication and effect: the adjustments above are published by updating the purchase page, through notices in the Subscription Center or through in-app notifications, and apply to new orders and new billing periods from the effective date published. What the purchase page displays for a particular transaction constitutes the definitive content of that transaction; where commercial terms are inconsistent with the body of this Agreement, what the purchase page displayed for that transaction prevails.
8.17.2No retroactive effect: an adjustment does not apply to a billing period you have paid for and that is still running. During that period the quota limit, rates and entitlements published at the time of purchase apply, and points that never expire already obtained are not reduced by an adjustment.
8.17.3Duty to notify: where an adjustment materially reduces the entitlements corresponding to consideration you have paid, we will inform you at least 30 days before it takes effect through an in-app notification or the email address registered to your account; where law or app store rules require fresh consent, we comply with that requirement.
8.17.4Distinction from the amendment procedure: adjustments to the commercial terms listed in this Section do not constitute an amendment of the body of this Agreement and do not require the amendment procedure in Section 15.1; commercial terms are governed by the purchase page, while the allocation of rights and obligations between us, limitation of liability and dispute resolution are governed by this Agreement.
8.17.5Limits of the power to adjust: the power to adjust under this Section does not extend to the following, which still require amendment under Section 15.1 and fresh consent from you where the law so requires: (a) entitlements already fixed within a period you have paid for, and points that never expire already obtained; (b) consumer rights conferred on you by applicable law that cannot be waived; (c) the substance of Chapter 13 (Limitation of Liability) and Chapter 17 (Dispute Resolution); (d) the purposes and scope of personal information processing (to which the Privacy Policy and the AI Services and Data Processing Agreement apply).
Chapter 9 Rules of Use
9.1You agree to comply with applicable law and this Agreement when using the service, and not to engage in, or assist others to engage in, any of the following:
(a)violating any applicable law, regulation or court order;
(b)creating, uploading, generating or disseminating content involving the sexual exploitation or sexual abuse of minors (CSAM). We have zero tolerance for such content: on discovery we will delete it immediately, terminate the account, and report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to law enforcement authorities;
(c)creating or disseminating intimate images or non-consensual intimate content (NCII), including content generated by way of deepfake;
(d)harassing, threatening, stalking or bullying others, or expressing hatred or discrimination on grounds of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability or similar characteristics;
(e)disclosing another person's private information, including doxxing and revealing a home address, telephone number or place of work;
(f)impersonating a real person, a public figure or our staff, or causing others to believe, expressly or by implication, that an AI companion is a real person;
(g)infringing another person's copyright, trademark rights, rights of likeness, right of publicity, trade secrets or other lawful rights and interests;
(h)committing fraud, phishing, pyramid schemes or illegal fundraising, or disseminating malicious code;

(n)using the service for military, weapons or surveillance purposes, or in breach of export control and sanctions rules;
(o)using the service to provide, display or disseminate the content of this service to minors.
9.2Where you breach Section 9.1, we may, having regard to the circumstances, take the following measures: deleting or blocking the relevant content, restricting or suspending some features, terminating the account, cancelling unused paid entitlements (unless applicable law mandatorily provides otherwise), reporting to law enforcement authorities, and pursuing legal liability.
9.3In cases falling within Section 9.1(b) and (c), we will preserve the necessary evidence at the same time as deleting the content, and report to the competent authorities as required by law.
9.4Appeals: if you consider that a measure was taken in error, you may appeal within 30 days of receiving the notice through the contact details in Section 21, providing your account information and an explanation. We will review and reply within 30 days of receiving the appeal. An appeal does not affect our taking of interim measures as required by law.
Chapter 10 Intellectual Property
10.1The copyright, trademark rights and other intellectual property rights in the service and all its content, including the software, source code, interface design, interaction logic, brand names, marks, companion appearances, companion personas, timbres, copy, images and audio assets, belong to us or to the respective rightholders.
10.2Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, you must not copy, modify, create derivative works from, decompile, distribute, sell, rent, lend, sublicense or otherwise exploit any part of the service.
10.3Your content: content you provide by creating custom companions, uploading avatars, recording voice or sending messages (the “user content”) remains owned by you. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to store, reproduce, transmit, display, translate and format that user content for the purposes of providing, maintaining, protecting and improving the service, and to use it to generate de-identified statistical data. That licence ends within a reasonable period after you delete the content or close your account, except for copies that must be retained in order to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce this Agreement, and aggregate data from which you can no longer be identified.
10.4You represent and warrant that: you hold lawful rights in the user content or have obtained all necessary authorisations; the user content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property rights, rights of likeness, right of publicity, privacy or other rights; and the user content does not violate law or this Agreement.
10.5AI output: to the extent permitted by applicable law, you may use the conversations and voice generated for you by the service for personal, non-commercial purposes. We do not assert copyright in AI output, but we do not warrant that such output is copyrightable or unique.
10.6Copyright complaints (DMCA): if you believe that content on the service infringes your copyright, please send our designated copyright agent a notice meeting the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, including: identification of the rightholder and contact details, identification of the protected work, the location of the allegedly infringing content, a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorised, a statement that the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on the rightholder's behalf (under penalty of perjury), and your signature. Copyright agent: Tao Huang, email hallo.uooda@gmail.com. We designate that agent to receive notices of claimed infringement pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). On receiving a valid notice we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content and forward the notice to the uploader, who may submit a counter-notice complying with Section 512(g). We will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
10.7Feedback: if you submit feature suggestions, improvement ideas, bug reports or other feedback to us, you agree that we may use that feedback free of charge and without restriction, without paying you remuneration and without any duty of confidentiality. We do not thereby acquire ownership of your user content.
Chapter 11 Third-Party Services
11.1The service relies on or links to products and services provided by third parties, including app stores (Apple App Store, Google Play and other app stores that may be integrated in future), cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence model services, speech recognition and synthesis services, push services and IP-location services.
11.2Those third-party services are provided by, and are the responsibility of, their respective operators. When using them you must also comply with their terms and privacy policies.
11.3We are not responsible for the availability, security, compliance or conduct of third parties. We are not in breach of contract for service anomalies caused by interruption, change, failure or data breach affecting a third-party service, but we will use reasonable efforts to restore the service or to provide an alternative.
11.4The specific list of third parties and the purposes of sharing are set out in Section 5 of the Privacy Policy and Section 2 of the AI Services and Data Processing Agreement. We may change providers, and will give notice under Section 15.1.
Chapter 12 Disclaimer
12.1To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”. We make no warranty, express or implied, including without limitation any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, reliability, security, uninterrupted operation or freedom from error.
12.2We do not warrant that: (a) the service will meet all your needs; (b) the service will be uninterrupted, free of delay or free of errors; (c) all defects will be corrected; (d) AI output will be accurate, complete, appropriate or non-infringing; (e) any information obtained through the service is trustworthy; (f) a companion's memories, preferences or persona will remain unchanged at any point in time.
12.3You understand and agree that you use the service at your own risk. Any content you download or obtain from the service is at your own risk, and you are responsible for any damage to your device or loss of data caused by downloading.
12.4Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation of consumers' statutory rights. Where such law applies to you, the exclusions and limitations above apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law and do not affect rights you hold under law that cannot be waived.
12.5Emotional experience and mental health: you understand and agree that interaction with an AI companion may provoke emotional responses. We do not warrant any particular interactive experience or emotional outcome, and we are not liable for mood swings, emotional dependence, disappointed expectations, psychological discomfort or mistaken beliefs about a companion that arise from your use of the service. The service is not psychotherapy, psychological counselling, crisis intervention or a withdrawal service, and is no substitute for professional help. If you are in psychological crisis or at risk of self-harm, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis hotline immediately (the “local helplines” page in the app lists numbers for some regions), or consult a professional organisation.
12.6Availability: we make no commitment and give no service level agreement (SLA) as to the availability, response time or uptime of the service. Some or all features of the service may be suspended, restricted or terminated for maintenance, upgrades, changes to third-party services, cost reasons or the arrangements of an individual operator.
12.7We do not warrant that a companion will “remember” or “forget” anything. Context length, model updates, data clean-up and safety policies may all cause a companion's memories to change or be lost.
Chapter 13 Limitation of Liability
13.1To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of data, business interruption, loss of opportunity, loss of expected benefit, emotional distress or mental distress, arising from any of the following, whether the claim is based in contract, tort, strict liability or any other theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damage:
(a)your use of, or inability to use, the service;
(b)your reliance on information or content obtained through the service;
(c)the conduct of third parties, interruption of third-party services or failure of the internet;
(d)data breach resulting from unauthorised access to or use of our systems (except where we are at fault);
(e)clean-up of companion memories, chat history or custom companion data in accordance with this Agreement.
13.2To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability to you arising out of this Agreement or the service shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you actually paid for the service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; and (b) US$100.
13.3The limitations in Sections 12 and 13 do not apply to: (a) our wilful misconduct or gross negligence; (b) personal injury or actual damage to movable or immovable property; (c) liability that the law expressly provides may not be limited or excluded; (d) rights conferred on consumers by law that cannot be waived.
13.4Unless the law mandatorily provides otherwise, any claim you bring against us arising out of this Agreement or the service must be brought within one year after the cause of action arises; if it is not brought within that period, it is deemed waived.
13.5Disputes between you and other users or third parties arising from use of the service are for you to resolve, and we bear no joint liability.
Chapter 14 Indemnity
14.1You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any third-party claim, action, investigation, loss, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from any of the following:
(a)your breach of this Agreement or its annexes;

Chapter 15 Changes, Termination and Survival
15.1Changes to the Agreement: we may revise this Agreement because of changes in law, regulatory requirements, adjustments to product features or business needs. For material changes (including changes affecting your rights, obligations, charges or dispute resolution) we will inform you at least 30 days before they take effect through a prominent in-app notice and the email address registered to your account. If you continue to use the service after a change takes effect, you are deemed to have accepted the revised Agreement; if you do not accept it, you may stop using the service and close your account before it takes effect.

Points that never expire come to an end together with the service when it stops, and we will explain in the notice of cessation how they are handled. This Section does not apply to termination resulting from your breach.

Chapter 20 Supplementary Terms for Specific Regions
This Chapter applies to residents of the service regions listed in Section 1.5. Where other provisions of this Agreement conflict with this Chapter, this Chapter prevails for users in that region. This Chapter does not exclude or limit any consumer right that cannot be waived under local law; where other provisions of this Agreement are held to exceed the limits permitted by local law, they are deemed not agreed as regards users in that region.
20.1 General provisions (applying to all service regions)
20.1.1Cooling-off periods and rights of withdrawal: where local law gives you the right to cancel or withdraw an order without cause within a specified period (for example the 7-day right of withdrawal in Korea, the 7-day cooling-off period in Taiwan, China, the 5-day right of withdrawal in Colombia, the 10-day right of revocation in Argentina, the 10-day right of withdrawal in Chile and the 5-business-day cooling-off period in South Africa), that right is not limited by any provision of this Agreement. The paid products under this service are all digital content whose provision begins immediately after payment; under the exception in those laws for digital content whose provision has begun, such rights generally cease to apply once you have consented and begun to use the content (Section 8.10.2). Where it is disputed whether such a right applies, the mandatory provisions of local law govern.
20.1.2Standard-form terms: where local law provides for the review or invalidity of standard-form terms (for example the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions in Korea, Article 11-1 of the Consumer Protection Act in Taiwan, China, and similar rules in Israel and the European Union), any provision of this Agreement that does not comply with those requirements does not apply in that region.
20.1.3Language: the English version of this Agreement prevails. Where local law requires a consumer contract to be concluded in the local language, or requires a local-language version to be provided, we will provide a translation at your request within a reasonable scope; where local law mandatorily requires the local-language version to prevail, the local-language version prevails for users in that region; if a local-language version is not yet available, you may defer acceptance and contact us to request one. See Section 20.21 for the specific requirements.
20.1.4Complaints: you may complain to a local consumer protection body or regulator, and that right is not limited by the arbitration agreement in Section 17.

20.2.1Federal level: we comply with Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act on unfair or deceptive acts or practices, the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA) on negative option marketing, and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The service is not directed to users under 18; the age of majority is 19 in states including Alabama and Nebraska and 21 in Mississippi, and users residing in those states are governed by that state's rule.
20.2.2State privacy laws: if you reside in a state with a comprehensive privacy law in force, such as California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky or Rhode Island, you have the rights conferred by that state's law to access, correct, delete, port, opt out of targeted advertising and profiling (the automated analysis or prediction of personal characteristics), and to appeal. The service provides no targeted advertising and makes no decision producing legal effects on you on the basis of such analysis; if you wish us to stop maintaining your conversation understanding, you may delete chat history and AI memory under Section 7.11. The unified channel for exercising these rights is set out in Sections 9 and 10 of the Privacy Policy.

20.3 Canada
20.3.1We process the personal information of Canadian residents in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and provincial privacy laws.

Under Bill 96, where Quebec law requires a contract to be concluded in French, we will provide a French version at your request; you may defer acceptance until a French version is available.
20.3.4If you reside in Canada, the arbitration agreement in Section 17 does not preclude you from complaining to a provincial regulator, suing in small claims court or exercising other statutory rights that cannot be waived.
20.4 Australia
Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee conferred on you by Schedule 2 of the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Our service comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL, including that the service will be rendered with due care and skill, that it will be reasonably fit for the purpose described, and that it will be of acceptable quality. If the service fails to meet those guarantees, you are entitled to require the service to be supplied again, to a refund or to compensation; the exclusions and limitations in Sections 12 and 13 do not affect those rights. We also handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and its 2024 amendments.
20.5 New Zealand
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or restricts the rights conferred on you by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986.

20.6.3If a dispute arises, you may apply to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) for mediation.
20.7 Japan
20.7.1Under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions, we disclose on the “特定商取引法に基づく表記” page in the app: the name of the seller (Tao Huang), the name of the person responsible for operations, address and telephone number (available on request), contact details (hallo.uooda@gmail.com), selling price (tax included, as shown on the purchase page), payment method and timing (through the Apple App Store or Google Play, under each store's rules), time of delivery (immediately after payment is completed), and return and cancellation conditions (digital content is in principle non-returnable once provided; a subscription may be cancelled at any time, as provided in Section 8 of the Subscription and Billing Terms).

Pack points are not registered to a holder, cannot be reported lost, are not transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash.
20.7.3Under the Act on the Protection of Personal Information, we provide personal information to third parties outside Japan (model providers and cloud providers) on the basis of consent, and the Privacy Policy states the country in which the recipient is located, that country's personal information protection regime and the measures the recipient takes.
20.7.4Under the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, we make no representation more favourable than the actual position; the points amounts, available features and number of companions shown in the app are subject to what is actually provided.
20.7.5The service is not a “Specified Continuing Service” within the meaning of the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions. The service is not directed to persons under 18.

Except for digital content whose use has begun, you may withdraw your order (청약철회) within 7 days after the subscription begins; where we have not disclosed the business information as required by law, have not provided the contract text or have not obtained your confirmation, your right of withdrawal is not subject to that period. As regards digital content provided immediately under this service, the purchase page prominently states that “the content is provided immediately and cannot be withdrawn once use has begun”, and by confirming the purchase you give that acknowledgment, so as to satisfy the requirements of that Act for the exception to the right of withdrawal (Section 8.10.2).
20.8.2Under the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), a cross-border transfer of personal information requires notice to you and your consent; the Privacy Policy sets out the recipients, the items transferred, the purposes, the retention periods and how to refuse.

For the digital content provided under this service, where you have consented and begun to use it, the reasonable exception in paragraph 2 of that Article and Article 19-2 applies; the purchase page gives prior notice that such digital content is provided immediately and that the cooling-off period does not apply once use has begun, and you give that consent when confirming the purchase.
