Terms of Service
Draft · Last updated: November 9, 2026 · 中文用户请注意：本服务条款以英文版本为准。
1. The Service
Hanakotoba (“the Service”) is an interactive-fiction platform: visual-novel stories and conversations with fictional characters whose dialogue is generated by artificial intelligence. Everything the characters say is fiction, generated by AI. Characters are not real people, do not have feelings, and their messages are not advice of any kind (medical, legal, financial, or psychological). The Service is entertainment and is not a substitute for human relationships or professional care. If you are struggling, please reach out to real people or a professional.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using it you confirm you meet this requirement.
3. Your Account
An account is optional but required for cloud saves and daily bonuses. You are responsible for activity on your account. You may delete your account and associated data at any time from the home page; deletion is permanent.
4. Acceptable Use
Don’t attempt to abuse, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service; circumvent usage limits; use it to generate unlawful content; or harass other users (when community features exist). We may suspend accounts that violate these rules.
5. AI-Generated Content
AI output can be inaccurate, inconsistent, or unexpected despite our safeguards. You are responsible for how you use generated content. We may use automated systems to keep conversations within our content guidelines (all-ages romance; no harmful content).
6. User Content
You own the messages you write. You grant us the license needed to operate the Service (processing your messages through AI providers to generate replies, storing your conversations and saves). If creator-published content (character cards, stories) launches in the future, it will be governed by additional terms presented at that time.
7. Payments
The Service is currently free with daily usage limits. If paid features launch, pricing and refund terms will be shown before any purchase.
8. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of US$50 or the amount you paid us in the preceding 12 months.
9. Changes; Governing Law; Contact
We may update these terms; material changes will be announced in the app. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, USA [TODO: confirm with counsel]. Contact: [TODO: contact email].
