Terms of Service

Last updated: January 2025

1. Agreement to Terms

Welcome to Sekaiko ("we," "our," or "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Sekaiko, an AI-assisted fiction writing platform that allows writers to create rich fictional universes, manage characters, places, and objects, and generate AI-assisted content with contextual awareness.

By accessing or using our service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, then you may not access the service. You represent that you are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction to use online services) and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

2. User Accounts

To access certain features of Sekaiko, you must create an account using Google OAuth authentication. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information when creating your account
  • Maintain and update your account information to keep it accurate
  • Keep your account credentials secure and confidential
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
  • Accept responsibility for all activities under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or if we determine, in our sole discretion, that your account poses a security risk or is being used fraudulently.

3. User-Generated Content Ownership

You retain all ownership rights to the content you create and upload to Sekaiko, including but not limited to universes, characters, places, items, projects, scenes, text, images, videos, and audio files ("User Content").

By uploading or creating User Content on Sekaiko, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to:

  • Store, host, and transmit your User Content to provide the service
  • Process your User Content through AI services to generate new content as requested
  • Use your User Content for technical operations such as data backup, synchronization, and service improvements
  • Display your User Content within the Sekaiko platform as you have configured

This license continues for as long as your User Content is stored on our service. You may terminate this license by deleting your User Content or account, subject to our data retention policies as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. AI-Generated Content

Sekaiko uses artificial intelligence services from third-party providers (including but not limited to Anthropic, OpenAI, Replicate, Fal AI, and Google) to generate text, images, videos, and audio based on your prompts and User Content.

Important Disclaimers:

  • AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or unintended outputs
  • AI-generated content does not reflect our views, opinions, or values
  • We do not guarantee the accuracy, quality, or suitability of AI-generated content
  • You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying all AI-generated content before use
  • You retain ownership of AI-generated content created based on your User Content and prompts
  • AI-generated content may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the AI service providers

We are not liable for any harm or damages resulting from your use of AI-generated content. You understand and agree that AI technology is evolving and may produce unexpected or inappropriate results.

5. Token-Based Payment System

Sekaiko operates on a token-based payment system. Tokens are consumed when you use AI generation features, including text generation, image generation, video generation, and audio generation. Token costs vary based on the AI model and operation type used.

Token Purchase and Usage:

  • Tokens are purchased through payment providers including Stripe and PayPal
  • All token purchases are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law
  • Tokens have no expiration date unless otherwise stated
  • Token balances are specific to your account and cannot be transferred
  • Token pricing is subject to change with notice
  • Unused tokens remain in your account until used or your account is terminated

We reserve the right to modify token pricing, consumption rates, or the token system at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes. If you do not agree with changes, you may stop using the service and request a refund of unused tokens as required by applicable law.

6. Prohibited Content and Conduct

You agree not to create, upload, or share content that:

  • Is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, or violates any applicable law or regulation
  • Contains sexually explicit, pornographic, or not safe for work (NSFW) material
  • Infringes upon the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party
  • Contains hate speech, discrimination, or harassment based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age

  • Interferes with or disrupts the service or servers connected to the service
  • Attempts to scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the service
  • Uses the service to generate content that violates platform policies of social media platforms (YouTube, TikTok, etc.)

We use automated NSFW detection systems to help prevent inappropriate content. However, you remain solely responsible for all content you create, upload, or generate. We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these Terms and to suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly violate these Terms.

7. Intellectual Property Rights

Sekaiko Platform: The Sekaiko service, including its software, design, logos, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our service without our express written permission.

Your Content: As stated in Section 3, you retain ownership of your User Content. We do not claim ownership of your User Content. You are free to use your User Content outside of Sekaiko at any time.

Third-Party Services: Our service integrates with third-party services (Google OAuth, AI providers, social media platforms). These services are subject to their own terms of service and intellectual property policies.

8. Social Media Integrations

Sekaiko allows you to connect your accounts with third-party social media platforms, including YouTube and TikTok, to share your content directly from the platform.

By connecting your social media accounts:

  • You authorize us to access and use information from your social media accounts as necessary to provide the integration features
  • You agree to comply with the terms of service and community guidelines of the respective social media platforms
  • You understand that content shared to social media platforms is subject to their policies and may be moderated or removed by those platforms
  • You are responsible for ensuring your content complies with platform-specific requirements (duration limits, file sizes, content policies, etc.)

We are not responsible for actions taken by social media platforms regarding your shared content. You can disconnect your social media accounts at any time through your account settings.

9. Service Modifications and Availability

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Sekaiko service at any time, with or without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts of the service without notice or liability.

No Uptime Guarantee: We do not guarantee that the service will be available at all times or that it will be free from errors, interruptions, or security vulnerabilities. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from service unavailability or interruptions.

We regularly update and improve the service. These updates may add, modify, or remove features. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes that significantly affect your use of the service.

  • Any unused tokens in your account will be forfeited unless required otherwise by applicable law
  • Your social media account connections will be disconnected

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account immediately, without prior notice, if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or if we determine that your use of the service poses a risk to us, other users, or third parties.

Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will remain in effect after termination.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SEKAIKO AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
