Terms of Service

Founding beta terms · Version 2026-10-17.2

1. The service

Emberlight (“the Service”) is an AI companion application operated at emberlight.chat. It provides conversational AI companions with persistent, user-controlled memory, optional roleplay scenarios, and AI image generation. All companions are fictional, AI-generated characters.

2. Eligibility — adults only

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use Emberlight. During onboarding you must affirm that you are an adult. We may suspend accounts we reasonably believe belong to minors.

3. Accounts and invites

Access is currently invite-only. Invite codes are limited and may be single-use or multi-use with a redemption cap. You are responsible for activity on your account. During the beta, your invite code together with your email may be used to sign back in; keep both private.

4. Subscriptions, trials, and billing

Group invites include a free trial (typically 7 days) with no payment details required. After the trial, continued access requires a paid subscription at the rate presented to you at signup. Beta payments and activation are arranged manually with the operator. There is no in-app card checkout or automatic card renewal. Confirm the payment method and access period before paying. Do not send card details through chat or support. Review the subscription notice before activation. You can cancel anytime, effective at the end of the current billing period. Refunds for partial periods are at our discretion. If your subscription lapses, your data is preserved and export/deletion controls remain available to you.

5. Acceptable Use Policy

Members may not use Emberlight to create, request or role-play content involving any of the following:

  • Deepfakes; or the image or likeness of any real person, including celebrities, without consent.
  • Minors or anyone who appears underage, including child-like framing or subjects in diapers, including characters who are minors in their source material.
  • Characters from existing anime, games, films, TV, books or comics (copyrighted characters), including as a companion.
  • Non-consensual scenarios, including sleeping or unconscious people.
  • Incest, including step-family.
  • Urination ("watersports") or scat.
  • Sexual violence, abduction or kidnapping, snuff or "fantasy snuff", gore or torture.
  • Bestiality or animal cruelty.
  • Sexual activity under the influence of drugs, alcohol or hypnosis.
  • Prostitution or escorting.
  • Polygamy.
  • Instructions for illegal activity.
  • Real medical, legal, financial or gambling advice. Emberlight is entertainment, not professional advice.
  • Hate speech.

You may not harass others, create exploitative or illegal content, attempt to breach, overload or reverse-engineer the Service, or resell access. Optional adult content is available only to age-affirmed accounts that enable it and must remain within these rules.

These rules are enforced by automated filters. Blocked requests are logged and may be reviewed. Violations can lead to suspension or termination.

6. AI-generated content

Companion responses and images are generated by AI. They are fiction: companions are not conscious, do not have feelings, and may produce inaccurate or inconsistent output. Nothing in the Service is professional advice (medical, legal, financial, or psychological). Emberlight is entertainment and is not a substitute for human relationships or mental-health care. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately.

7. Your content and data

You retain ownership of the messages you write. You grant us the limited license needed to operate the Service (storing and processing your content to generate responses, memories, and images). You can export your data or permanently delete it at any time from the privacy controls in the app. See our Privacy Policy for details.

8. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your data at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these terms, with data-deletion rights preserved where lawful.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Service is provided “as is” during the beta, without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months preceding the claim.

10. Changes

We may update these terms as the beta evolves; material changes will be announced in-app or by email, and members must explicitly accept the current Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy before continuing to use the Service.

Reporting non-consensual intimate content

You or your authorized representative can submit a report for private review without an account. Provide only the information requested; do not send images or identity documents. A receipt confirms submission, not removal or completed review.
