OwlCat Club — Terms of Service

Version 2.0.0 · Effective date: [OWNER: date] · Contact: info@owlcat.club

Draft — requires review by a qualified lawyer before publication. This is the master, fleet-wide ToS: one agreement, accepted once, covering every OwlCat app. Placeholders [OWNER: ] need real values. Translations are owner-supplied; the legal text below is English for now.

1. Introduction & Scope

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”) and OwlCat Club (“we”, “us”, “OwlCat”, “the Platform”), operated by [OWNER: legal entity, registered address]. They govern your use of the entire OwlCat ecosystem — every app and service listed in §2 — under a single OwlCat account. By creating an account or using any OwlCat app you agree to these Terms. One acceptance applies across all OwlCat apps; you do not accept separate terms per app.

2. The Ecosystem & Services

OwlCat is an AI-powered creative ecosystem. A single account gives access to, among others:

  • Stories — AI story generation, illustrated books, and printing.
  • Films — AI short-film / video generation.
  • Games — interactive games (e.g. AI-assisted mazes and puzzles).
  • Habits — habit-tracking and rewards.
  • Shop — digital and physical goods / merchandise.
  • Accounts — identity, wallet, subscriptions, and settings shared across the above.

We may add, change, or discontinue apps and features at any time. Some features require a subscription (§5) or are subject to a usage allowance (§4).

3. Account & Eligibility

Your OwlCat account is shared across all apps. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure. You must be of the age of majority in your jurisdiction, or use the Platform under the supervision and consent of a parent or legal guardian. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.

4. Usage Allowance

Access to premium AI features is provided primarily through subscriptions (§5). Each subscription includes a periodic usage allowance that meters your use of premium AI operations. The allowance is an internal accounting unit, not a currency, stored-value instrument, or product, and is not sold on its own. We may also grant a free or introductory allowance on registration or as a promotion or reward, and some apps offer limited features without a subscription (which may be rate-limited). Some apps may offer optional add-ons or top-ups for additional usage within a period, purchased through our payment providers (§7). How much allowance a subscription or add-on provides, and how much each operation consumes, are set by us and may change. Allowance and add-ons have no cash value, are non-transferable, and are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. Unused allowance may expire or roll over subject to posted limits and policy. We may correct erroneous balances.

5. Subscriptions

Most apps offer subscriptions with one or more tiers, purchased through our payment providers (Stripe for card payments; Telegram Stars for the Telegram Mini App). Each paid subscription grants the periodic usage allowance described in §4. Subscriptions renew automatically for the stated period until cancelled. You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current period; access and any remaining period allowance continue until then. If you change tiers, the change takes effect as described at purchase. Fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated. Prices, tiers, allowances, and benefits may change with notice per §19.

6. AI-Generated Content

Stories, images, audio, video, and text are produced by third-party AI services (§7). AI output is provided “as is” with no warranty of accuracy, originality, appropriateness, or fitness. Subject to these Terms and your payment, you own the output you generate to the extent permitted by the providers’ terms and applicable law; we retain the right to use de-identified content to operate and improve the Platform. You are responsible for how you use generated content.

7. AI & Data Processing — Third-Party Providers

To deliver the services, your inputs (prompts, text, uploaded images, audio, and voice samples) are transmitted to third-party processors, which may include: Microsoft Azure OpenAI and OpenAI (text, image, transcription), Google (text, image, video / Gemini, Veo), ElevenLabs (voice / speech), Stripe (payments), Telegram (Mini App auth, Stars payments, notifications), and Lulu (print-on-demand). Processing is governed by each provider’s terms and our Privacy Policy. We transmit only what is needed to perform the requested operation.

8. Acceptable Use & Prohibited Content

You agree not to submit prompts or content that:

  • infringe the intellectual property, trademark, or publicity rights of others — including named copyrighted characters, franchises, or brands (e.g. requesting a specific protected character or logo);
  • are unlawful, infringing, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or that violate any third party’s rights.

You represent and warrant that you hold all rights necessary for the content you submit and that your prompts do not infringe any third party’s IP or trademark. We operate automated content-safety filters that may warn, block, or refuse prompts matching protected terms; these filters reduce but do not eliminate risk and do not relieve you of responsibility. You agree to indemnify OwlCat against claims arising from content you submit or generate in breach of this section.

9. User-Uploaded Content & Intellectual Property

You may upload images (e.g. reference photos). By uploading, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and consents to use and share such content. You grant us a limited licence to process it solely to provide the requested services. You retain ownership of your uploads.

10. Voice Samples & Cloned Voices

Some features let you provide voice samples or use a cloned voice. By doing so you confirm you have the right to use that voice (your own, or another person’s with their explicit consent — and, for a minor, that of the parent/guardian). Voice data is processed to generate audio and handled per the Privacy Policy. You must not clone or use a voice without the rightsholder’s consent.

11. Images of Minors & Parental Consent

If you submit photographs or content depicting a minor, you confirm that you are the parent or legal guardian, or have their explicit permission, and that such use complies with applicable law. We protect minors’ data per §16.

12. Physical Goods, Printing & Shop

Physical goods (books, merchandise) may be fulfilled by third parties (e.g. Lulu for print-on-demand). We act as an intermediary; production, quality, shipping, delivery, returns, and refunds for physical goods are subject to the fulfiller’s and the Shop’s posted policies and applicable consumer law.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE PLATFORM 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.

15. Data Protection

We process personal data per our Privacy Policy and applicable law, including the GDPR. By using the Platform you confirm you have read the Privacy Policy. Cookie use and consent are described in the Privacy Policy and the Cookie section; a single consent choice applies across the OwlCat subdomains.

16. Children's Data

We are committed to protecting minors’ privacy and follow GDPR provisions for children’s data and COPPA principles. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a child without verified parental consent. Parents/guardians are responsible for content and activity relating to minors under their supervision.

17. Dispute Resolution

Before any formal claim, you agree to first contact us at info@owlcat.club and allow 30 days for an informal resolution. [OWNER: arbitration / venue clause per jurisdiction.]

18. Termination

Either party may terminate at any time. You may delete your account in settings. We may suspend or terminate your account for breach of these Terms. Some data may be retained as required by law or as described in the Privacy Policy.

19. Modifications & Notice of Changes

We may update these Terms. For material changes we will notify you (by email and/or in-app notice) and require re-acceptance before you can continue using the Platform. Each version has a version number and effective date; continued use after a non-material update constitutes acceptance. Because acceptance is recorded per version across the whole ecosystem, a version bump re-prompts you once and the new acceptance applies to every OwlCat app.

20. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by [OWNER: governing law]. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded.
