Terms of Service

Last updated: August 24, 20261. AcceptanceThese Terms are an agreement between you and Ghost of You LLC ("Ghost of You," "we," "us," or "our"), the company that operates the Ghost of You application (the "App"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App. These Terms include an agreement to resolve disputes by arbitration and a waiver of your right to participate in a class action. Please read Section 19.2. EligibilityYou must be at least eighteen years old to use the App. By registering, you confirm you meet this requirement. If we learn you are under eighteen we will close your account and delete your data.3. What the App DoesThe App lets you create an AI voice clone of your own voice and have AI-generated spoken conversations: talking to your own clone, talking to a friend’s clone, or sending your clone to call a friend who has accepted you, with a purpose you provide. The voice on these calls is an AI, not a live person.4. Your Voice CloneYou may only create a voice clone of your own voice. When you record a voice sample you represent and warrant that the voice in the recording is your own, that you are the person speaking, and that you have the full right to authorize us to create a clone from it. Submitting another person’s voice is strictly prohibited, whether or not you believe you have their permission.Your clone is for personal, non-commercial use within the App.You retain ownership of your voice and your voice data, subject to the license in Section 5, and you may delete your clone and your account at any time in Settings.We collect and store a voiceprint derived from your recording. Before you record, we ask you to read a separate disclosure and sign a release authorizing that collection. That release governs how we handle your voiceprint, and our Privacy Policy and our Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Schedule describe it in full.5. The Rights You Give Us, and Who Owns WhatSo that we can run the App, you grant Ghost of You a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, and create a voice model from your voice recordings, your conversations, and the text you write, solely to operate the App and provide the service to you and to the friends you have approved. This license exists only to run the App. It does not let us use your voice in advertising, license it to anyone else, or use it to train any AI model, and it ends when you delete the underlying content or your account, except for material that survives deletion as described in our Privacy Policy.What your clone says. Speech generated by your clone is produced by an automated system in response to inputs you and your friends provide. As between you and us, you own the outputs generated by your clone, and you are responsible for them. We claim no ownership of them. We make no representation that AI-generated output is protectable by copyright, and under current United States law purely machine-generated material generally is not.Clips. A clip contains two people. As between the person who created it and the person whose clone appears in it, the creator owns the clip file, and the person whose clone appears in it retains all rights in their own voice and may require the clip to be taken down under Section 13.Feedback. If you send us suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.6. AI-Generated ContentConversations are produced by automated AI systems. Responses may be inaccurate, unexpected, or not reflect your actual views, and should not be relied upon for important, medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions. You are responsible for the purpose and personality text you provide and for how you use the App.7. Acceptable Use and Zero ToleranceYou agree not to create, request, or transmit content, and not to use the App, in any way that harasses, bullies, threatens, stalks, defames, or intimidates any person; that is hateful or promotes violence or discrimination against any person or group based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or other protected characteristic; that is sexually explicit, or that sexualizes or involves minors in any way; that promotes self-harm, suicide, or violence, or facilitates illegal activity; that impersonates, defrauds, deceives, or creates misleading, non-consensual, or harmful voice content; that clones a voice that is not your own, or contacts anyone who has not accepted you as a friend; or that attempts to reverse-engineer, abuse, or circumvent the App’s safety systems.You also agree not to use the App or any clone for commercial purposes, including advertising, endorsement, or any use that suggests a person has said something they did not say.There is zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts for violations with or without notice.8. Safety, Moderation, and ReportingWe use automated and human review. Text you submit is screened by automated content moderation before use, and the App provides tools to report and block other users. We review reports and act on violations, including content removal and account termination. To report abuse or a safety concern, use the in-app report tools or email [email protected].9. Calls to FriendsYou may only call, or send your clone to call, people who have mutually accepted you as a friend. You are responsible for the purpose and content of any call you initiate. Do not use calls to harass, deceive, or harm anyone.Calendar Presence is an optional, off-by-default feature you may enable in Settings. If you enable it, you authorize your clone to share a minimal current and next calendar summary, at the detail level you choose, with any approved friend who calls you, and you are responsible for what you choose to share. You can disable it at any time, which deletes the stored summary.Calendar invites. If a call produces a concrete plan, the App may offer to add it to your calendar. You choose whether to add it, and the event is written to your own device’s calendar. You are responsible for confirming the details are correct.Invitations. If you invite someone who is not a user, you are asking us to contact that person on your behalf and you confirm you have a relationship with them that makes the invitation welcome. We send one invitation and we do not contact them again unless they join.10. ClipsThe App lets you create a short video clip of a conversation, which you can save or share outside the App.You may only clip a friend’s clone if that friend has separately allowed you to make clips, and they may withdraw that permission at any time. Attempting to capture a conversation without that permission is a violation of these Terms.Only a live participant in a conversation may create a clip of it, and only of a conversation their own voice is in. Our servers enforce this. Attempting to obtain a clip of a conversation you were not audibly part of, by any means, is a serious violation of these Terms.A clip contains both sides of the conversation. You are responsible for anything you choose to share and for where you share it.Once you share a clip outside the App, it is outside our control. We cannot recall or delete copies that exist elsewhere.Clips are labeled to identify the voices as AI clones. Do not remove, crop out, or obscure that labeling, and do not present a clip as a recording of a real person speaking. Doing so is a serious violation and grounds for immediate termination under Section 7.You may not sell a clip, use it in advertising, or use it to suggest that any person endorses anything.If you block someone, your existing clips of their clone, and theirs of yours, are hidden from the blocked party.We may remove clips and suspend accounts for violations, under Section 7.

11. Ghost Stories and Ghost MessagesA Ghost Story is an AI-generated argument between two voice clones on a topic chosen by the person who starts it. A Ghost Message is a text thread in which a clone replies with AI-generated voice messages.Nothing your clone says in a story is your own statement. Stories are machine-generated from a topic someone else supplied. They may be inaccurate, out of character, or contrary to your actual views, and they are labeled as AI.You may only include a friend’s clone in a story if that friend has accepted you and has Ghost Stories enabled, and you may only save or share a story as a clip if that friend has also allowed you to make clips of their ghost.You may not use a story to depict a real dispute, to make it appear that a person holds a view they do not hold, to put statements about an identifiable third party into a clone’s mouth, or to create content that would violate Section 7 if you had said it yourself. Everything in Section 7 applies to the topic you choose, and choosing a topic is your content, not ours.You can turn Ghost Stories off at any time in Settings. Turning it off stops your clone from being included in new stories and does not delete stories that already exist. If a story misrepresents you, report it under Section 13 and we will review and remove it.12. Plans and BillingThe App offers a free tier with monthly usage limits. Paid subscription plans, where offered, are sold and billed through the Apple App Store and renew automatically until canceled. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store account settings. Deleting the App, and deleting your Ghost of You account, does not cancel a subscription — you must cancel it with Apple or Apple will continue to bill you. Payments are non-refundable except as required by law or by Apple’s policies. The person who initiates a call is responsible for the usage it consumes.13. Impersonation Reports and TakedownIf you believe a voice clone in the App uses your voice without your permission, email [email protected] with the word impersonation in the subject line, tell us where you encountered it, and give us enough information to find it. We will investigate promptly and, if we determine that a clone or a clip uses a person’s voice without authorization, we will remove it and may terminate the account responsible. You do not need to be a Ghost of You user to make a report.14. Account TerminationWe may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, with or without notice. You may delete your account at any time from the Settings screen. On termination, your license to use the App ends immediately. Sections 5, 15 through 25, and any provision that by its nature should survive, survive termination.15. Disclaimer of WarrantiesThe App is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, or error free, or that AI-generated output will be accurate or appropriate. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.16. IndemnificationYou agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ghost of You LLC and its members, officers, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of your use of the App, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or of anyone else’s rights, including any claim that a voice you submitted was not your own or that you recorded or shared a conversation without the required consent. We may assume the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.17. Limitation of LiabilityTo the fullest extent permitted by law, Ghost of You LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, revenue, or goodwill, arising from your use of the App or from any AI-generated content, even if we were advised such damages were possible.To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the App will not exceed the greater of one hundred dollars or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.18. Governing LawThese Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. If Section 19 does not apply to a dispute, that dispute must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you and we consent to jurisdiction there. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer law of the state where you live.19. Dispute Resolution and Class Action WaiverRead this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or a lawsuit, you agree to email [email protected] describing the dispute and giving us sixty days to resolve it. We will do the same before bringing a claim against you.Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitration will be held in the county where you live or by remote hearing, at your choice. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.Small claims. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration, if it qualifies.Class action waiver. You and we each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim, and only that claim, must proceed in court.Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] with the word opt-out in the subject line within thirty days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out has no effect on anything else in these Terms and will not affect your account.20. Apple App Store TermsThese Terms are between you and Ghost of You LLC only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.Your license to use the App is a non-transferable license to use it on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.Ghost of You LLC, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim relating to the App, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal requirement, and any claim arising under consumer protection or privacy law.Ghost of You LLC, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App infringes that party’s intellectual property rights.You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States Government embargo or designated as a terrorist supporting country, and that you are not on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.

21. Copyright ComplaintsIf you believe content in the App infringes your copyright, send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to [email protected] with the word DMCA in the subject line, including identification of the work, identification of the material, your contact information, a statement of good faith belief, a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury, and your signature. We will respond as the statute requires and we terminate repeat infringers.22. Changes to These TermsWe may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the last updated date above and, for material changes, notify you in the App at least seven days before the change takes effect. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the App and delete your account. Changes do not apply retroactively to a dispute that arose before the change.23. NoticesWe may give you notice by email to the address on your account, by SMS to your account phone number, or by in-app message. You may give us notice at [email protected].24. AssignmentYou may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you. If your voice data would be transferred to a different company as part of any such transaction, we will notify you before it happens and give you the opportunity to delete your clone first.25. GeneralThese Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the App. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. Neither of us is liable for a delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control. There are no third-party beneficiaries of these Terms except Apple, as stated in Section 20.26. ContactGhost of You is operated by Ghost of You LLC. Questions? Email [email protected].
