Terms of Service

Last updated: September 14, 2026 · Version 1.0

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to PlayCYOA ("we", "the Service"), an interactive fiction platform operated by JIANG, JUNLIN, an individual operator, accessible at https://playcyoa.com. By using the Service or purchasing credits you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, have read and agree to these Terms, and agree to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Service. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. The Service

PlayCYOA provides interactive choose-your-own-adventure stories in which each choice renders an AI-generated video scene. The Service is a digital, intangible product delivered over the internet. Pre-made adventures are free; custom scene generation consumes purchased credits. Scenes are generated by the MiniMax H3 video model, accessed through third-party API providers; availability may be affected by those providers.

3. Accounts

No account is required to play pre-made adventures. Purchases are identified by the email address you provide at checkout; keep it accurate, as it is how we associate your credits.

4. Credits & Billing

Credits are sold in packs (e.g., 30 credits). One credit is consumed each time you generate a new custom story scene. Credits do not expire and are tied to the email used at purchase.

Payments are processed by Waffo Pancake, our merchant of record, which is the legal seller of your purchase and handles taxes and card processing. Prices are shown at checkout before you pay.

5. Refund Policy

Unused credits are refundable within 14 days of purchase — contact lelea031210@gmail.com and we will refund the unused portion to the original payment method. Credits already consumed, and scenes already generated, are non-refundable due to the instant digital nature of the Service. This policy is also shown at checkout.

6. Usage Limits & Fair Use

Free generation is subject to daily quotas to keep the Service available and affordable for everyone. We may rate-limit, suspend, or refuse generation that is abusive, automated, or intended to exploit the Service (e.g., reselling generated scenes or using the site as a general-purpose video generator).

7. Billing Disputes

If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact lelea031210@gmail.com before opening a dispute with your bank. We respond within 2 business days and resolve confirmed billing errors within 5 business days.

8. AI Content & Intellectual Property

Scenes generated from your prompts are yours to keep and share for personal, non-commercial use. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process your prompts solely to provide the Service. We do not use your inputs to train AI models.

AI-generated content may contain errors or artifacts. Do not rely on it for legal, medical, financial, or other professional purposes.

9. Acceptable Use

Because the Service generates AI video, you agree not to use it to generate or attempt to generate:

  • Pornographic / NSFW content, including sexual or sexually suggestive material;
  • Violence & gore — graphic depictions of violence, torture, or gore;
  • Hate speech — content attacking people based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected traits;
  • Child-unsafe content — any sexualized or exploitative content involving minors (CSAM);
  • Deepfakes / impersonation — AI-generated media impersonating real individuals or intended to deceive viewers about its origin;
  • IP infringement — content violating third-party copyright, trademark, or privacy rights.

Reporting: to report generated content that violates these rules, email lelea031210@gmail.com with the story URL; we review reports within 3 business days.

Moderation: prompts pass through the upstream model provider's content-safety filters, and we reserve the right to review, block, or remove prompts and generated scenes, and to suspend access for violations.

You also agree not to:

  • scrape, extract, or collect generated content at scale for purposes beyond personal use, or to train a competing AI model;
  • bypass or interfere with security features, quotas, or rate limits;
  • resell access to the Service without written approval.

10. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, including merchantability, fitness for a purpose, or accuracy of AI output. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

11. Term & Termination

These Terms apply while you use the Service. We may suspend access for material breach or suspected fraud. If we terminate the Service for reasons unrelated to your breach, we will refund prepaid unused credits.

12. Governing Law & Contact

These Terms are governed by applicable law in the operator's jurisdiction. Before filing any formal proceeding, email lelea031210@gmail.com to attempt informal resolution. We may update these Terms with at least 14 days' notice for material changes. Questions: lelea031210@gmail.com.
