Terms of Service

Acceptance of these Terms

By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using AI May Byte, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use AI May Byte.

These Terms work together with our other policies, which are part of this agreement:

• Privacy Policy – how we handle your information
• Acceptable Use Policy – what you may and may not use AI May Byte for
• AI Disclaimer – important limits of AI-generated responses
• Refund & Cancellation Policy – how Byte+ billing, cancellation, and refunds work

Eligibility and accounts

AI May Byte is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use AI May Byte. Before you can use AI May Byte, we'll ask you to confirm that you're 18 or older and that you agree to these Terms and our Acceptable Use Policy.

To use AI May Byte, you need an account. You agree to give us accurate account information and to keep it up to date. You may only have an account for yourself, and you may not share it, sell it, or transfer it to someone else.

Account security

You're responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity that happens under your account. Use a strong password that you don't use anywhere else.

If you think someone has accessed your account without permission, contact us right away at ashthedev0@gmail.com.

What AI May Byte is

AI May Byte provides an AI assistant that you can personalize, including optionally choosing a name for it. Depending on the features available to you, AI May Byte may let you:

• have conversations with the AI assistant
• personalize your assistant by choosing a character theme, optionally giving it a name, and sharing optional information about yourself
• save memories that the assistant can use in future conversations, after you approve them
• keep and revisit your conversation history
• have the assistant search the public web, read public webpages, and show links to the sources it used

We may add, change, or remove features over time, including new AI capabilities.

The AI assistant is software, whatever name it goes by. It is not a person, it is not conscious or sentient, and it is not a licensed professional of any kind. See the AI Disclaimer for more.

Free and paid services

• Just a Byte (free): $0 per month. Each monthly allowance includes 40 messages and 3 voice notes. Voice notes count toward the 40 messages. Character memory is the basic window. Document uploads and live voice are not included.
• Byte+: $9.99 per month. Each billing period includes 400 messages, 40 voice notes, and 3 document uploads. Voice notes count toward the 400 messages. Character memory is a larger window than the free plan. Live voice is not included in this initial allowance.

A voice note counts as one message. The spoken reply to that message does not count as another message or another voice note. These are the initial allowances. We may change them as described under "Price changes" and "Changes to the service." The app shows what you have used and when the allowance resets.

You are charged only if you choose to subscribe. The price, taxes, and these terms are shown again at checkout before any payment.

Byte+ subscriptions

Byte+ is $9.99 per month, plus any taxes shown at checkout. Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number.

By subscribing, you also agree to Stripe's terms for processing the payment.

If we offer a free trial or promotional price, its terms, including when regular billing starts, will be shown before you sign up for it.

Recurring billing

Byte+ is a recurring subscription. When you subscribe, you authorize us, through Stripe, to charge your payment method each month at $9.99, plus any taxes shown at checkout, until you cancel.

Your subscription renews automatically at the start of each billing period unless you cancel before it renews. Paid allowances follow that Stripe billing period. Free allowances follow a calendar month in Pacific time.

Cancellation

You can cancel Byte+ at any time from your Profile by choosing Manage subscription. That opens Stripe's billing page, where you can cancel. Cancelling in the app does not delete your account.

When you cancel:

• your subscription won't renew again
• you normally keep Byte+ access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for
• your AI May Byte account is not deleted (you can keep using any free features)
• we won't charge you a cancellation fee

Full details are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Price changes

We may change the price of Byte+ in the future. If we do, we'll tell you in advance, before the new price applies to you, using the email address on your account or a notice in the app. You can cancel before the new price takes effect if you don't want to continue.

Refunds

Refunds are handled under our Refund & Cancellation Policy. Nothing in these Terms takes away any refund rights you have under applicable law.

Your content

"Your content" means what you put into AI May Byte, such as your messages, profile and personalization details (including any name you choose for your assistant), and memories you approve.

You keep any ownership rights you have in your content. You give us permission to store, process, and transmit your content only as needed to operate, maintain, secure, and improve AI May Byte and to provide it to you, including sending it to the service providers described in our Privacy Policy (for example, the AI model provider that generates AI responses).

You're responsible for your content. Please don't submit content you don't have the right to share, and avoid sharing sensitive information (such as passwords, government ID numbers, or financial account numbers) in conversations.

AI-generated content

The assistant's responses are generated automatically by artificial intelligence. Please keep the following in mind:

• AI output can be wrong. Responses can be incorrect, incomplete, outdated, misleading, or fabricated (completely made up), even when they sound confident.
• Verify what matters. You should independently check important information before relying on it.
• Not professional advice. AI May Byte is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, mental health, emergency, or other professional advice. Don't use it for emergencies. If you may be in danger or facing an emergency, contact your local emergency services (for example, 911 in the United States).
• Your decisions are yours. You're responsible for deciding whether and how to act on anything the assistant says.

As between you and us, and to the extent permitted by law, you may use the responses the assistant generates for you. Because of how AI works, the assistant may give similar responses to other people, and those responses aren't exclusively yours.

Web search and third-party content

When the assistant searches the web or reads a webpage, the results come from third parties that we don't control.

• Search results, webpages, and the source links shown under the assistant's responses are third-party content. Showing them is not an endorsement of the site, its owner, or its content.
• We don't guarantee that third-party content is accurate, current, complete, safe, or lawful.
• The assistant may summarize or misunderstand what a page says. Check the original source when it matters.
• When you visit a third-party site, that site's own terms and privacy policy apply.

Acceptable use

You agree to use AI May Byte only in lawful ways and in line with our Acceptable Use Policy.

Prohibited conduct

Without limiting the Acceptable Use Policy, you agree not to:

• use AI May Byte for anything illegal, fraudulent, or harmful to others
• try to access other users' accounts or information
• try to get around AI May Byte's security protections or safety measures to cause harm or gain access you aren't entitled to, or try to get around usage limits
• try to extract AI May Byte's system instructions, credentials, API keys, secrets, or other private system information
• interfere with or overload the service, including through automated or excessive use
• copy, resell, or offer AI May Byte to others without our written permission
• reverse engineer the service, except where the law specifically allows it

Intellectual property

AI May Byte, including its software, design, the AI May Byte and Byte+ names, our mascot and characters, artwork, and branding, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use AI May Byte for its intended purpose. They don't give you any right to use our name, logos, or characters for other purposes.

If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.

Third-party services

AI May Byte relies on third-party services to work, such as hosting, database and sign-in, AI model, web search, and (once Byte+ launches) payment providers. We're not responsible for third-party services we don't control, but we choose our providers carefully. See the Privacy Policy for how information is shared with them.

Service availability

We work to keep AI May Byte running smoothly, but we can't promise it will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. The service may be unavailable at times because of maintenance, updates, outages of our providers, or events outside our control.

Changes to the service

We may change, add, or remove features at any time. If we make a change that significantly reduces what Byte+ includes during a period you've already paid for, we'll let you know.

Suspension and termination

You can stop using AI May Byte at any time. To delete your account, contact us at ashthedev0@gmail.com (see the Privacy Policy for what deletion covers).

We may limit, suspend, or end your access if:

• you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy
• we need to do so to protect other users, the service, or the public
• we're required to by law

Where reasonable, we'll tell you why and give you a chance to respond.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should continue after termination (such as ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute terms) will continue to apply.

Disclaimers

AI May Byte is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

In particular, we don't promise that AI May Byte will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free, or that AI-generated responses, web results, or sources will be accurate, complete, current, reliable, or suitable for any particular purpose.

Some places don't allow certain warranties to be disclaimed, so some of these disclaimers may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• we won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, AI May Byte
• we won't be liable for losses arising from your reliance on AI-generated responses, web search results, webpages, or source links, including decisions you make or actions you take based on them
• we won't be liable for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control, including outages or failures of third-party services that AI May Byte relies on

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, such as liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. If the law where you live doesn't allow some or all of these limitations, they apply to you only to the extent that law allows.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend and compensate us for claims, losses, and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) brought by third parties that result from your misuse of AI May Byte, your content, or your violation of these Terms or someone else's rights. This doesn't apply to the extent a claim is caused by our own fault.

Rights that can't be waived

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under laws that can't be waived or limited by contract, including consumer protection laws where you live.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, United States, subject to any mandatory rights or protections you have under applicable law that cannot lawfully be waived.

Disputes

If you have a problem with AI May Byte, please contact us first at ashthedev0@gmail.com and tell us what happened. We'll try in good faith to resolve it informally, and most concerns can be sorted out this way.

If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you and we may each pursue any remedies available under applicable law.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date above. If a change is significant, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice by email or in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using AI May Byte after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you don't agree, you can stop using AI May Byte and cancel any subscription.
