Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Carnivorex Inc. ("Aria Muse," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Aria Muse mobile application and related services (the "Service"). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS IN SECTION 16, WHICH AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. By creating an account, tapping "I Agree," or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

1. Eligibility and Age Requirement

The Service is strictly limited to individuals who are at least 18 years old. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18, that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and that your use of the Service does not violate any law applicable to you. We may use age-verification measures and may suspend or terminate any account we reasonably believe belongs to a person under 18.

2. Description of the Service

Aria Muse allows you to create and converse with fictional, AI-generated companion characters for relationship-style conversation, and roleplay and entertainment purposes. IMPORTANT: Companions are not real people, do not have genuine feelings, memories, or awareness, and are not licensed therapists, counselors, doctors, lawyers, or financial advisors. Companion responses are generated by artificial intelligence and may be inaccurate, inconsistent, or inappropriate. The Service is intended for entertainment and companionship purposes only and is not a substitute for professional mental health care, medical advice, legal advice, or genuine human relationships. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a qualified professional or emergency services, as described in Section 9.

3. Accounts

You must create an account to use most features of the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate registration information and to promptly update it as necessary. We may suspend or terminate accounts that contain false information, including false age attestations.

4. Subscriptions, Virtual Credits, and Billing

4.1 Subscription Plans

We offer free and paid subscription tiers (e.g., "Pro" and "Ultra") that unlock additional features such as expanded messaging, enhanced companion memory, voice calls, and monthly credit allowances, as described in the Service at the time of purchase.

4.2 Automatic Renewal Disclosure

SUBSCRIPTIONS AUTOMATICALLY RENEW at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected) for the same duration and at the then-current price, until you cancel. Before you subscribe, we will clearly disclose the length of the subscription, the price to be charged, and how to cancel. Your payment method will be charged automatically at the start of each renewal period unless you cancel before that date, in accordance with applicable law, including the U.S. FTC's rules on negative-option offers, the California Automatic Renewal Law, and comparable consumer-protection statutes in other states and in Quebec.

4.3 How to Cancel

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through your Apple ID or Google Account subscription settings, since those platforms manage the billing relationship; we cannot process cancellations or refunds on their behalf. If you subscribed directly through our website, you may cancel at any time in Settings or by contacting support, and cancellation will be effective at the end of the current billing period. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund amounts already charged, except where required by law or platform policy.

4.4 Virtual Credits

Credits are a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to access certain in-app features and hold no monetary value outside the Service. Credits are non-refundable except where required by law, are not redeemable for cash, and may expire or be forfeited if your account is terminated for violation of these Terms.

4.5 Free Trials and Price Changes

If we offer a free trial, we will disclose the length of the trial and the price that will apply after it ends before you enroll; if you do not cancel before the trial ends, you will be charged. We may change subscription prices prospectively with advance notice as required by law; continued use after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price for future renewal periods.

4.6 Refunds

Except as required by applicable law (including statutory withdrawal or cooling-off rights that may apply to Quebec consumers) or app store policy, all purchases are final and non-refundable.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Create, upload, or attempt to generate content that sexualizes, depicts, or describes minors in any way, including by assigning a companion a minor's age or childlike characteristics in a sexual or romantic context.
• Impersonate any real, identifiable person without consent, or create a companion designed to deceive others into believing they are communicating with a real human being outside the Service's fictional context.
• Generate, request, or distribute content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or that promotes violence, self-harm, or illegal activity.
• Attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with age-verification, content-moderation, or safety features.
• Extract, reverse-engineer, or attempt to discover system prompts, model weights, or proprietary technology underlying the Service.
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the Service, or resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without our written consent.
• Engage in fraudulent payment activity, including chargebacks for services actually received.

We may remove content, suspend features, or terminate accounts that violate this Section, with or without notice, and may report unlawful content (including content involving apparent exploitation of minors) to appropriate authorities as required by law.

6. Your Content and Companion Customization

You retain ownership of the text and other input you contribute when customizing a companion or chatting ("User Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, reproduce, and process User Content solely to operate, maintain, and improve the Service, including generating companion responses and enforcing these Terms. You represent that you have the right to submit your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms or any third party's rights. We may, but are not obligated to, monitor User Content and may remove content that violates these Terms.

7. AI-Generated Content; No Human Relationship

All companion dialogue, images, and voice are generated by artificial intelligence. Companions do not have genuine consciousness, memory beyond what is technically stored for your account, or real emotions, regardless of how they may be described in-app. Nothing a companion says constitutes advice, a promise, or a representation by us. We are not responsible for the specific content of AI-generated companion responses, which may occasionally be inaccurate, offensive, or otherwise objectionable despite our safety measures.

MEDICAL AND MENTAL-HEALTH DISCLAIMER. ARIA MUSE IS ENTERTAINMENT AND CREATIVE-COMPANIONSHIP SOFTWARE. CARNIVOREX INC. IS NOT A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURER, MENTAL-HEALTH SERVICE, CRISIS SERVICE, OR PROVIDER OF ANY LICENSED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. THE SERVICE DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, PSYCHIATRIC, THERAPEUTIC, COUNSELLING, LEGAL, OR FINANCIAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT, AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CARE FROM A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL.

Your companion may discuss feelings, wellbeing, relationships, or similar topics as part of conversational roleplay. You must not rely on anything generated by the Service for any health, safety, legal, or financial decision. Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified health provider with any question you may have regarding a medical or mental-health condition, and never disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something a companion said. Any change in mood or wellbeing you may experience while using the Service is not a clinical outcome and is not offered or warranted by us.

THE SERVICE IS NOT FOR EMERGENCIES. If you believe you may have a medical or mental-health emergency, if you are considering suicide or self-harm, or if you believe you may be a danger to yourself or others, you must stop using the Service immediately and contact your local emergency number or the crisis resources listed in Section 9.

8. Required Safety Disclosures

In compliance with applicable law, the Service will: (a) clearly disclose, at the start of each session and periodically thereafter (at least every three hours of continued use), that you are interacting with an AI system and not a human being; (b) disclose that companion relationships, dating, and roleplay features may not be suitable for minors; and (c) maintain a protocol to detect expressions of suicidal ideation or self-harm and refer you to crisis service providers. These disclosures and protocols are described further in our Privacy Policy.

9. Crisis Resources

Aria Muse is not an emergency service and cannot respond to emergencies. If you are in crisis or believe you may be in danger, please contact your local emergency number, or, in the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or, in Canada, call or text 988 (Suicide Crisis Helpline). The Service may present these or similar resources automatically if it detects language associated with self-harm.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, and pre-made companion characters (excluding your own User Content), is owned by Carnivorex Inc. or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Feedback and suggestions. If you send us questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback about the Service ("Submissions"), you agree that your Submissions are non-confidential and non-proprietary, and you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, modify, and otherwise exploit them for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without compensation, attribution, or any obligation to you. Please do not send us Submissions you expect to be kept confidential or to be paid for.

11. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers, including cloud infrastructure, AI model hosting, payment processing, and app store platforms. Your use of app-store billing is also subject to Apple's and Google's respective terms. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of independent third-party providers.

12. Term, Suspension, and Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Service. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time in Settings. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure for us, or if required by law. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends immediately; Sections 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 survive termination.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE OR APPROPRIATE. SOME JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING QUEBEC, DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS TO CONSUMERS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CARNIVOREX INC. AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) CAD 100 (or the equivalent in the currency you paid in). THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING CERTAIN CONSUMER-PROTECTION RIGHTS UNDER QUEBEC LAW.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Carnivorex Inc. from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your User Content, or your misuse of the Service, except to the extent caused by our own breach of these Terms or violation of law.

16. Dispute Resolution — United States Users

If you are a resident of the United States, you and Carnivorex Inc. agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. YOU AND CARNIVOREX INC. EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to the address in Section 21. Some states limit the enforceability of arbitration clauses or class-action waivers for certain claims (for example, public-injunctive-relief claims in California); this Section applies only to the extent enforceable under applicable law, and if any part is found unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect and the affected claim may proceed in court.

17. Dispute Resolution — Canadian Users

If you are a resident of Canada, nothing in these Terms is intended to, and nothing will, deprive you of any protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of your province of residence, including Quebec's Consumer Protection Act. In particular, for consumers located in Quebec: (a) any clause requiring disputes to be resolved exclusively outside Quebec, or requiring mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver, does not apply to the extent it would be void under the Consumer Protection Act (CQLR c. P-40.1) or the Civil Code of Québec; and (b) you retain the right to participate in a class action before the courts of Quebec. For Canadian residents outside Quebec, Section 16 of these Terms applies only to the extent enforceable under the law of your province.

18. Governing Law

Carnivorex Inc. is incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada, and these Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. If you are located in the United States, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your state that cannot be waived by agreement (for example, disclosure and cancellation rights under your state's automatic-renewal law), and Section 16 governs how disputes are resolved. If you are located in a Canadian province other than Ontario, including Quebec, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of your own province, and Section 17 governs how disputes are resolved.

19. Changes to the Service and These Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time. We may update these Terms from time to time; if we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service or by other reasonable means before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

20. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
