Terms of Service

1. Who can use Biographer

You need to be able to enter into a contract where you live, and you can't be banned from using our kind of service under the law. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian needs to be involved.

2. Your account

To use most of Biographer, you'll need an account. Give us accurate information, keep your email account secure, and update your details if they change. Whatever happens under your account is your responsibility, so don't share your sign-in links.

You can sign in with Google too. If you do, Google's terms apply to that part too.

3. What Biographer is

Biographer helps you collect and organize your life stories through guided interviews, topic prompts, and AI-assisted writing. We store your interview messages, biographical details, summaries, and any drafts we generate for you.

We're still building Biographer, so we may change, add, remove, or pause features as we go. We can't promise the product will always work or look the same.

4. Your stories belong to you

The stories, answers, and biographical material you put into Biographer ("your content") are yours. We don't claim ownership of any of it.

That said, we need your permission to actually run the product — to store your content on our servers, display it back to you, send relevant pieces to AI providers when you ask for a draft, and so on. By using Biographer, you're giving us a license to do those things only for the purpose of running the Service for you.

You also need to promise that you have the right to share what you upload — meaning you're not dumping in copyrighted books or someone else's private writing you don't have permission to use.

5. About the AI

Biographer uses third-party AI models to generate questions, summaries, and drafts. AI gets things wrong. It invents details, misremembers dates, and sometimes produces stuff that's just off. Read what it writes before you trust it, publish it, or share it with family — especially when the story is about someone real.

6. Things not to do

Don't use Biographer to break the law, defraud people, or hurt anyone. Don't upload content you don't have rights to. Don't try to hack us, scrape the site, or interfere with how the product runs. Don't reverse engineer Biographer to build a competitor.

7. Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we're allowed to use them to improve Biographer without owing you anything.

8. Other services we rely on

Biographer runs on top of other companies' tools — hosting, email, sign-in, AI. If one of those services has a problem or its own terms that apply to you, that's between you and them; we can't take responsibility for how they operate.

9. Ending things

You can stop using Biographer whenever you want. We can suspend or close your account if you're breaking these terms, putting us or other users at risk, or if the law requires it.

11. Our intellectual property

The Biographer software, design, name, and branding belong to us. You get to use the Service under these terms, but you don't get ownership of the product itself.

12. Disclaimers

Biographer is provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that anything the AI produces will be accurate or suitable for your purposes.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Biographer and its people won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claims related to Biographer or these Terms won't exceed $100.

14. Indemnification

If someone comes after us because of something you uploaded, something you did with Biographer you shouldn't have, or a violation of these terms, you agree to cover our costs — including reasonable legal fees.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by New York law. If there's a legal dispute between us, it has to be handled in the state or federal courts in New York, New York, and you agree to that.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms now and then. If we do, we'll update the date at the top, and for meaningful changes we'll give you a heads-up in the app or by email. Continuing to use Biographer after a change means the new version applies.

17. General provisions

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the complete agreement between you and us about Biographer.
• Severability. If a court decides one provision doesn't hold up, the rest still applies.
• Waiver. If we don't enforce something once, we haven't given up the right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You can't hand your account or these Terms off to someone else without us agreeing. We can transfer them if we're acquired or merged.
