Terms of Service

Welcome to Arcanea. By accessing or using the Arcanea platform (“Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing the platform, or using any Arcanea feature, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age and that you accept these Terms in full. If you are using Arcanea on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will notify you of material changes via email or a prominent notice on the platform.

2. Account Creation and Responsibilities

To use most features of Arcanea, you must create an account. When you do, you agree to:

• •Provide accurate and complete information during registration
• •Maintain the security of your account credentials — your password, session tokens, and authentication methods are your responsibility
• •Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
• •Not create accounts for the purpose of impersonating another person or entity
• •Not create multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or abuse platform features

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Arcanea is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to secure your credentials.

3. Content Ownership

You retain full ownership of all original content you create using Arcanea, including but not limited to text, images, video, audio, code, and mixed-media works (“Your Content”). Arcanea does not claim ownership over Your Content.

By posting or sharing Your Content on Arcanea, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute Your Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. This license terminates when you delete Your Content or your account.

You represent that you have the right to share any content you upload and that it does not infringe on any third party's intellectual property rights.

4. AI-Generated Content

Arcanea provides AI-powered tools for creative assistance. Regarding content generated through these tools:

• •AI-assisted creations that you direct, prompt, and curate are considered your work — you may use them freely
• •AI outputs are generated probabilistically and may occasionally produce similar results for different users. Arcanea does not guarantee the uniqueness of AI-generated content
• •You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated content before publishing or using it commercially
• •AI-generated content should not be represented as solely human-created when disclosure is relevant or required
• •We do not use your prompts or creations to train AI models without your explicit consent

5. Acceptable Use

Arcanea is a space for creation, learning, and community. You agree not to use the Service to:

• •Create, upload, or distribute content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable

• •Infringe upon intellectual property rights, including copyright, trademark, or patent rights of others
• •Distribute malware, viruses, or any code designed to disrupt or damage the Service or other systems
• •Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts, data, or any Arcanea systems
• •Use the Service for spam, phishing, or unsolicited commercial messaging
• •Circumvent rate limits, access controls, or security measures
• •Scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the platform without written permission
• •Use the platform in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these guidelines. Where possible, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue before taking action.

7. Arcanea Intellectual Property

The Arcanea platform, including its mythology, lore, design system, brand elements, code, documentation, and original creative works (the “Arcanea IP”), is owned by Arcanea and protected by intellectual property laws. This includes but is not limited to:

• •The Academy system, magic rank structure, and game mechanics

You may not reproduce, modify, or distribute Arcanea IP without written permission, except as necessary for normal use of the Service (such as sharing links or embedding permitted content).

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

• •We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure at all times
• •AI-generated content is provided as creative assistance, not professional advice. Do not rely on it for legal, medical, financial, or other critical decisions
• •We are not responsible for content created or shared by users
• •Features may change, be deprecated, or be removed as the platform evolves

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Arcanea and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to Arcanea in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or fifty US dollars ($50), whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the limitations above apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Arcanea, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third party's rights.

11. Termination

You may close your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Upon termination:

• •Your right to access the Service ceases immediately
• •We will delete your personal data and creations within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements
• •Any outstanding payment obligations remain enforceable
• •Provisions that by their nature should survive (such as liability limitations and indemnification) will continue in effect

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Where reasonably possible, we will provide advance notice.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except where prohibited by law.

You retain the right to bring claims in small claims court if your claim qualifies. Nothing in these Terms waives your rights under applicable consumer protection laws.

13. General Provisions

• •Severability — If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect
• •Waiver — Our failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that provision
• •Entire Agreement — These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Arcanea regarding the Service
• •Assignment — You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign our rights to a successor or affiliate

14. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and notify you via email or a prominent in-app notice at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after that period constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
