Terms of Service

Please read these terms carefully before using the Story Generator application.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Story Generator, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part of the terms, you may not access the service.

2. Description of Service

Story Generator is an application designed to generate creative story ideas and full story narratives using AI technology. The service uses the Microsoft phi-4 model via the Nebius AI Studio API for processing user inputs (like genre selections, prompts, etc.) and generating content.

While we strive to provide creative and coherent outputs, the quality, uniqueness, and appropriateness of the generated ideas and stories depend on various factors, including the user's input, the capabilities and limitations of the AI models used, and the inherent randomness in the generation process.

Generated stories are stored anonymously in a public archive within the application for browsing by all users.

3. Use of Service

You agree to use Story Generator only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the service:

  • In any way that violates any applicable national or international law or regulation.
  • To generate content that is illegal, harmful, defamatory, obscene, infringing, harassing, or hateful.
  • To submit prompts or instructions designed to elicit harmful or inappropriate responses from the AI.
  • To impersonate or attempt to impersonate the application owner or any other person or entity.
  • To send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use, or re-use any material that does not comply with these Terms.
  • To attempt to interfere with the proper functioning of the service.
  • To make excessive requests or engage in activities that could overload our infrastructure or the underlying AI services.

4. Intellectual Property & Content Ownership

You retain ownership of the prompts and instructions you provide to the Story Generator.

The ownership of the AI-generated story ideas and full story text ("Generated Content") is complex and subject to the terms of the underlying AI models and services (Microsoft phi-4, Nebius AI Studio) and evolving legal frameworks regarding AI-generated works. We make no claim of copyright ownership over the Generated Content produced specifically for you via the AI.

However, by using the service, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Generated Content is stored anonymously in a public archive accessible to all users of this application.
  • You grant the application owner a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to store, display, reproduce, modify (e.g., for formatting), and distribute the anonymized Generated Content within the context of the Story Generator application and its archive feature.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Generated Content complies with all applicable laws and does not infringe on the rights of any third party. We provide the Generated Content "as is" without warranties regarding its originality, non-infringement, or suitability for any particular purpose.

Do not input confidential or sensitive information into the prompts or instructions.

5. Limitation of Liability

Story Generator is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties, expressed or implied. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, nor do we guarantee the accuracy, coherence, originality, or appropriateness of the generated content.

In no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

  • Your access to or use of or inability to access or use the service;
  • Any conduct or content of any third party generated by or interacting with the service;
  • Any content obtained from the service, including inaccuracies, errors, or potential biases in the AI-generated stories or ideas;
  • Unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your inputs (although we strive for anonymity in storage);
  • Your reliance on or use of the generated content for any purpose.

6. Modifications to Service

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the service (or any part thereof, including the story archive) with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the service.

7. Third-Party Services

Story Generator uses third-party services such as Nebius AI Studio API and the Microsoft phi-4 model. The use of these services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices, policies, or content generation capabilities of these third parties.

8. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Germany, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. The most current version will be posted on this page with the effective date. By continuing to access or use our service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
