Terms of Service

Infinite Stories

Effective Date: 21 July 2025

1. INTRODUCTION

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully. These Terms govern (a) all of Infinite Stories LLC's ("Infinite Stories," "we," "us" or "our") websites, mobile applications, and other online platforms where they are posted (the "Sites") and (b) your use and/or acquisition of any products, services, or features available on the Sites (together with the Sites, the "Service").

These Terms are binding upon all users of the Service, including all Adventurers (defined below) and Artisans (defined below). By creating an Account (defined below) or otherwise or using the Service, except for the limited purpose of reviewing these Terms or other agreements or policies posted on the Service, you expressly represent that you (a) are at least 18 years of age and have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence and (b) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to any provision of these Terms, or if these Terms are not enforceable where you are located, you are not permitted to use the Service.

If you are an individual using the Service on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any corporation, partnership, or other entity with which you are associated (an "Organization"), you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of yourself and such Organization, and you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind the Organization to these Terms. In that case, references to "you" and "your" in these Terms refer to both the individual using the Service and to any such Organization.

Certain areas, features, and/or functionalities of the Service may be subject to different or additional terms, rules, guidelines, or policies ("Additional Terms"), and we may provide such Additional Terms to you via postings, pop-up notices, links, or other reasonable means. All Additional Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms. As such, any reference to the "Terms" in this agreement includes all Additional Terms. From time to time, Additional Terms may conflict with these Terms. In the event of such a conflict, the Additional Terms will control.

ARBITRATION NOTICE: PLEASE NOTE THE ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SET FORTH IN SECTION 19 BELOW, WHICH, SUBJECT TO SOME LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE

The Service is designed for the tabletop roleplaying game ("TTRPG") community, with the goal of improving the TTRPG experience by streamlining the way content and information related to gameplay, such as character, encounter, adventure, campaign, and setting information (collectively, "Gameplay Content") is stored, created, sold, and acquired. The Service is intended for both TTRPG players ("Adventurers") and creators of content to be used by Adventurers ("Artisans").

The Service allows Artisans to upload Gameplay Content they have created ("Artisan Content") to the Service and make it available, either free of charge or for purchase, to Adventurers. In addition to these Terms, Artisans are required to enter into a vendor agreement with Infinite Stories (the "Artisan Agreement"), which sets forth the terms and conditions under which Artisans may Share (defined below) and sell their Artisan Content on the Service. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Artisan Agreement, the Artisan Agreement shall control.

Adventurers can use the Service in a variety of ways, including by (a) uploading Gameplay Content to the Service and storing it in their Account (such content being "Adventurer Content"); (b) acquiring Artisan Content on the Service and adding it to their Account; and (c) employing the Service's functionality to create new Gameplay Content ("Service Content"). For clarification, all Gameplay Content uploaded to the Service by an Adventurer is considered "Adventurer Content." In these Terms, Adventurer Content and Artisan Content are referred to collectively as "User Content."

Certain provisions of these Terms apply only to Adventurers. When this is the case, the Terms say so expressly. Absent any such statement, all provisions of these Terms apply equally to Adventurers and Artisans.

3. ACCOUNTS

To access certain portions of the Service, you may be required to create an account (an "Account"). You agree to provide truthful and accurate information during the Account creation process. You also agree to maintain the accuracy of any submitted data. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or otherwise act in a false or misleading manner during the Account creation process, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account and your use of the Service.

You are responsible for preserving the confidentiality of your Account password and agree to notify us of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your Account. You agree that you are responsible for all acts or omissions that occur on your Account while your credentials are being used.

4. OWNERSHIP OF THE SERVICE

The Service and all of its content, features, and functionalities, including all information, text, graphics, Trademarks (defined below), icons, images, audio clips, video clips, data compilations, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof (collectively, the "Infinite Stories Content"), are the exclusive property of Infinite Stories or our licensors, and may not be used or exploited in any way without the prior written consent of Infinite Stories or the appropriate licensor (if applicable). For purposes of these Terms, the Infinite Stories Content includes all Artisan Content, which is licensed to Infinite Stories by the relevant Artisans.

We are providing you with access to the Service and the Infinite Stories Content pursuant to a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable license (the "General License"). The General License is available to you unless and until you or we terminate these Terms, we otherwise terminate or suspend your access to the Service, or you are barred from using the Service by applicable law. Infinite Stories reserves all right, title, and interest not expressly granted under the General License to the fullest extent possible under applicable law.

Under the General License, you may use the Service and the Infinite Stories Content in the following ways, provided that such use is solely for personal, non-commercial purposes: (i) you may access and browse the Service, and use the features and functionalities to which you have been granted access, using a device that you own or are authorized to use (an "Authorized Device"); (ii) you may download the Infinite Stories Content to which you have been granted access and print out a single hard copy, provided that you do not modify it and do not remove or alter any copyright or other notice; (iii) you may install a copy of any mobile applications that we make available from time to time (collectively, the "Apps") on an Authorized Device; and (iv) your Authorized Device may temporarily store copies of the Infinite Stories Content incidental to your use of the Service. You may not otherwise modify, copy, distribute, display, reproduce, sell, license, create derivative works of, use, or exploit the Infinite Stories Content in any manner, unless additional rights are granted in this agreement or in Additional Terms provided on the Service. Any unauthorized use of the Infinite Stories Content may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and other applicable laws. You agree to comply with reasonable written requests from us to help us protect our proprietary and intellectual property rights.

The Infinite Stories Content includes the trademarks, service marks, logos, slogans, trade names, and trade dress used on the Service (the "Trademarks"). The absence of a trademark notice or symbol indicating the registration or ownership of a Trademark does not constitute a waiver of our or our licensors' trademark or other rights. These Terms do not grant you any rights to use the Trademarks. Without limitation of the foregoing, under no circumstances are you permitted to use the Trademarks in a manner that creates a likelihood of consumer confusion.

Finally, the Service is intended for those genuinely interested in the products and services that we offer. Under no circumstances may the Service be used for the purpose of subsequently initiating litigation or arbitration, including using the Sites in order to trigger or induce an alleged violation of any law ("Litigation Purposes"). Use of the Service for Litigation Purposes is strictly prohibited, exceeds the parameters of the General License, and, as such, constitutes a breach by you of these Terms. In such circumstances, Infinite Stories may elect to terminate these Terms, without prejudice to our ability to seek damages, including attorneys' fees, resulting from your breach.

5. ARTISAN CONTENT

This section is applicable to Adventurers only. In addition to the General License, this section grants Adventurers certain additional usage rights with respect to Artisan Content.

When you acquire Artisan Content on the Service (by purchase or otherwise), you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable license to (a) download, print, and reproduce the Artisan Content for the limited purpose of using it solely in connection with your own TTRPG gameplay; (b) modify, adapt, and otherwise create derivative works of the Artisan Content for the limited purpose of using the resulting new content ("Derivative Artisan Content") solely in connection with your own TTRPG gameplay; and (c) provide copies of the Artisan Content and Derivative Artisan Content to other individuals for the limited purpose of facilitating their participation in TTRPG gameplay with you, provided that you do not require or request that any such parties make a payment to you or provide you with any commercial benefit in return (the foregoing license being the "Artisan Content License")

In some cases, Artisans may grant Adventurers additional rights with respect to their Artisan Content, and such additional rights will be set forth in Additional Terms presented on the Service. Unless Artisan Content is provided under Additional Terms granting additional rights, the General License and the Artisan Content License set forth the full scope of your rights to use such content. For avoidance of doubt, unless Artisan Content is offered under Additional Terms that expressly permit the commercial use of that content, all Artisan Content may be used solely for personal, non-commercial purposes.

Artisan Content has not necessarily been reviewed by Infinite Stories and we, therefore, make no representations or warranties as to any aspect of such content, including its quality or appropriateness. Your acquisition of Artisan Content is done entirely at your own risk. If you feel that Artisan Content you have acquired is objectionable, otherwise inappropriate, or not as advertised, you may contact us at legal@infinitestories.com. NONETHELESS, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION TO YOU WITH RESPECT TO ANY ARTISAN CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY ARTISAN CONTENT YOU PURCHASE OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRE ON OR THROUGH SERVICE.

6. ADVENTURER CONTENT

This section applies to Adventurers only. As described in Section 2, the Service allows Adventurers to upload Adventurer Content to their Accounts. You will retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you own in your Adventurer Content. However, when you upload Adventurer Content to the Service, you grant to Infinite Stories a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, create derivative works of, modify, publish, edit, display, and otherwise use that content for the following purposes:

  • To provide the Service's various features and functionalities to you, which includes allowing you to (a) store, organize, and search your Adventurer Content within your Account and (b) use the Service to create Service Content based on your Adventurer Content;

  • To improve the Service's search, recommendation, and other features and functionalities, which is used to produce Service Content for you and other Adventurers; and

  • To comply with applicable law and enforce these Terms and any of our policies

(the foregoing license being the "Adventurer Content License"). To be clear, the Adventurer Content License solely permits Infinite Stories to use your Adventurer Content for the purpose of providing the Service to you and other Adventurers. We will never use your Adventurer Content in any manner unrelated to our provision of the Service.

When you upload any Adventurer Content to the Service, you represent and warrant that you (a) own all intellectual property rights in and to that content or (b) if any such rights are owned by a third party, that you have obtained all rights and permissions necessary to grant the Adventurer Content License to Infinite Stories.

The terms of this section do not apply to Adventurer Content or any portion thereof that is in the public domain or otherwise not protected by intellectual property laws ("Public Domain Content"). If Adventurer Content consists partially of Public Domain Content, the terms of this section apply to all parts of the Adventurer Content that is not Public Domain Content.

7. SERVICE CONTENT

This section is applicable to Adventurers only. As between you and Infinite Stories, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you own any Service Content created or derived from your Adventurer Content at your instruction while your Account is being used. To the extent that we acquire any ownership rights in such content by operation of law, we hereby assign those rights to you.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, you agree not to: (a) use Service Content and any modifications, adaptations, and other derivative works based on such content ("Derivative Service Content") for any purpose other than your own TTRPG gameplay; or (b) publicly display or otherwise Share Service Content or Derivative Service Content with any party unless you are providing such content to other individuals for the limited purpose of facilitating their participation in TTRPG gameplay with you, provided that you do not require or request that any such other party make a payment to you or provide you with any commercial benefit in return. Without limiting the foregoing restrictions, you agree never to use Service Content or Derivative Service Content for any commercial purpose.

As set forth in Section 2, all content uploaded to the Service by an Adventurer is considered Adventurer Content. As such, if you upload Service Content (after first removing it from the Service) or Derivative Service Content to your Account, the uploaded content also becomes Adventurer Content, meaning all provisions of these Terms applicable to Adventurer Content apply to the uploaded content. For clarification, the act of uploading Service Content or Derivative Service Content to the Service does not in any way limit the use restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Due to the nature of the Service, and algorithmic information retrieval generally, Service Content may not be unique and other Adventurers may obtain similar content through their use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in or to any other Adventurer's Service Content, regardless of any such similarities.

8. VIDEO CONTENT ON THE SERVICE

The Service may contain video content, audiovisual content, or content of a like nature (collectively, "Video Content"). Video Content is provided for the purpose of enhancing the user experience on the Service and is, therefore, provided in connection with Infinite Stories' business activities related to the TTRPG community. Infinite Stories is not in the business of renting, selling, or delivering Video Content in a commercial manner. By using the Service, you agree that Infinite Stories is not a "video tape service provider" as defined in the Video Privacy Protection Act ("VPPA"), 18 U.S.C.A. § 2710.

Further, the Service may utilize online technologies and code-based tools, including cookies, pixels, web beacons, and software development kits, that track information about your activity on the Service (collectively, "Cookies"). Cookies may result in information about your activity on the Service being transmitted from your browser to Infinite Stories and to third parties, which, in turn, may result in the display of targeted advertisements on third-party websites. Whether Cookies on the Service result in your browser's transmission of information to third parties depends on a number of factors that may be outside of Infinite Stories' knowledge or control, including what third-party websites you use, what information you have provided to such third parties, and whether (and the extent to which) you have limited the use of Cookies by the operators of third-party websites.

AS SUCH, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IF COOKIES ON THE SERVICE RESULT IN YOUR BROWSER'S TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, (I) SUCH TRANSMISSIONS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A "KNOWING DISCLOSURE" OF "PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION" BY INFINITE STORIES UNDER THE VPPA AND (II) YOU WILL NOT INITIATE ANY LITIGATION OR OTHERWISE ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST INFINITE STORIES BASED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ON SUCH TRANSMISSIONS, WHETHER UNDER THE VPPA, THE CALIFORNIA INVASION OF PRIVACY ACT (CAL. PENAL CODE § 630 ET SEQ.), OR ANY OTHER STATUTE, REGULATION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION.

9. MEMBERSHIPS, BILLING, AND CANCELLATION

This section is applicable to Adventurers only.

A. Memberships

Some aspects of the Service may require payment before they can be accessed or used (a "Membership"). While payment options will vary from time to time, they will require you to pay a recurring fee (a "Membership Fee") on a monthly basis, or at some other recurring interval disclosed to you prior to purchase (each such interval being a "Membership Period").

Your Membership will typically be subject to Additional Terms presented to you prior to purchase. Please carefully review the terms of the applicable offer before registering for a Membership. We may change the price of Memberships from time to time, but we will communicate any price changes to you in advance in the manner required by applicable law (if any) and, if applicable, we will tell you how to accept those changes. Price changes for Memberships will take effect at the start of the next Membership Period.

By registering for a Membership, you authorize us to charge your credit card or other account or form of payment that you have designated, on a recurring basis, in the amount of the applicable Membership Fee plus applicable tax. All fees associated with the Service are charged in U.S. Dollars (USD).

B. Auto-Renewal and Cancellation

The Membership Fee will be charged at the beginning of each Membership Period or expiration of your free trial period, if any. Memberships automatically renew until they are cancelled by you. This means that, after your initial Membership Period concludes, and again after any subsequent Membership Periods, you will automatically be billed for an additional period of the same length, until you cancel your Membership.

You may cancel your Membership at any time by logging into your account on the Service or contacting us at support@infinitestories.com. You have the right to cancel your Membership without fee or penalty at any time. If you cancel your Membership, cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current Membership Period, meaning you will have continued access to the applicable content and/or services for the remainder of that Membership Period. You will not receive any refund, unless otherwise stated at the time of cancellation. Please note that the provision of a full or partial refund in one instance will not entitle you or any person to a refund under similar circumstances or for any reason not specifically agreed to by Infinite Stories.

C. Free Trials

On certain occasions, we may offer free trials of our Membership-based services. If we offer you a free trial, the specific terms of the free trial will be stated in Additional Terms on the Service or offer terms in the marketing material describing the free trial. If you do not cancel your free trial within the trial period set out in such terms, it will automatically convert to a Membership, unless prohibited by applicable law. This means that we will charge your payment card or other account or form of payment that you have designated for the applicable Membership Fee once your free trial period ends and we will continue charging you for each subsequent Membership Period until you cancel the Membership. You may cancel your Membership at any time by [INSERT[11.1]]. The free trial offer terms will present the details of the free trial and the Membership that will result absent cancellation.

10. TRANSACTIONS

This section is applicable to Adventurers only. The Service will permit Adventurers to engage in financial transactions, including the purchase of Memberships and Artisan Content ("Transactions"). If you wish to engage in a Transaction, you will be asked to supply certain information, including your name and payment information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY PAYMENT CARD OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION YOU INITIATE.

You further agree to provide current, complete, and accurate information for all Transactions. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, as applicable, so that we can process your Transactions and contact you as needed. By submitting any information in connection with a Transaction, you grant to Infinite Stories the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of processing the Transaction. Verification may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of a Transaction.

When you initiate a Transaction (including by clicking "Purchase," "Buy," or similar), you are submitting a request to purchase the relevant product or service. As such, your receipt of a confirmation email or other acknowledgment of the Transaction means that your request has been received; it does not mean that your Transaction has been approved or processed or that the price or availability of the product or service has been confirmed. We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, or cancel or modify Transactions for any reason, and we shall have no liability to you other than refunding your payment, if applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, we may limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per Transaction. These restrictions may include Transactions placed by or under the same Account, the same credit card, and/or Transactions that use the same billing address. If we make a change to or cancel a Transaction, we will attempt to notify you via the contact information we have on file for you.

You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf through the Service, at the price in effect when such charges are incurred. You are solely responsible for any taxes that may be applicable to your Transactions, regardless of whether tax is included in the purchase price of the product or service. Further, it is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws in regard to the receipt, possession, use, and sale of any product or service purchased via the Service. Any offer for a product or service sold on the Service is void where prohibited.

11. PRODUCT INFORMATION

There may be information on the Service that contains errors, inaccuracies, or omissions (collectively, "Errors"). Errors may relate to the description, pricing, and/or availability of products and services available on the Service (collectively, "Product Information"). Infinite Stories has the right, but not the obligation, to correct any Errors and change or update any Product Information without prior notice. If we determine that errors in, or changes to, Product Information affect a purchase request you have submitted to Infinite Stories, we reserve the right to cancel the Transaction and provide a refund (if applicable). You agree, however, that any such determinations shall be made solely by Infinite Stories.

Product Information applicable to Artisan Content is created by the relevant Artisan. Such information has not necessarily been reviewed or approved by Infinite Stories. If you believe there are Errors in Artisan Content, you may contact us at support@infinitestories.com and we may, in our judgment, address the issue with the relevant Artisan. NONETHELESS, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION TO YOU WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT INFORMATION RELATED TO ARTISAN CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY ARTISAN CONTENT YOU PURCHASE ON THE SERVICE.

12. USER CONDUCT

You agree not to (a) submit, post, link, send, upload, make available, or otherwise share (collectively "Share") any User Content or (b) otherwise use the Service in a manner that:

  • Is designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of, any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;

  • Violates, or encourages anyone to violate, these Terms or any applicable local, state, national, or international law, regulation, or order.

Infinite Stories has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the Service for the purpose or determining and enforcing compliance with these Terms. Further, we shall be free to delete, remove, modify, or refuse to post any User Content if we determine that the content violates these Terms, is stale or off-topic, or otherwise as needed in connection with our administration and management of the Service.

You agree that Infinite Stories has the right to (i) disclose your identity or other relevant information about you to any third party who claims that User Content Shared by you violates their rights; (ii) take legal action, including referral to law enforcement, with respect to any suspected illegal or unauthorized use of the Service; and (iii) cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of any user of the Service. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO OR RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION OR INACTION OF INFINITE STORIES WITH RESPECT TO (I) MONITORING THE SERVICE; (II) DELETING, REMOVING, MODIFYING, OR REFUSING TO POST ANY USER CONTENT; (III) DETERMINING OR ENFORCING COMPLIANCE WITH THESE TERMS; AND (IV) COOPERATING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT ON ANY MATTER RELATED TO THE SERVICE.

Code § 1670.8; (ii) engage in a "covered communication" as defined by the Consumer Review Fairness Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 45b; or (ii) express or publish any review, performance assessment, or similar analysis (collectively, "Reviews") about Infinite Stories, its employees or agents, or its products or services, to the extent that such Reviews are protected under applicable law.

13. LINKS TO THE SERVICE

You are permitted to establish a hyperlink to a homepage of the Service, provided that (i) you do so in a manner that is fair, legal, and does not state or imply any sponsorship, endorsement of or affiliation with the originating website, application, or service (the "Originating Site") by Infinite Stories; (ii) the Originating Site contains no content that you would be prohibited from sharing via the Service pursuant to these Terms or any applicable law; (iii) the Originating Site is owned by you or you have express written consent from the owner to establish the link; and (iv) you do not establish a deep-link or otherwise link to any page other than the homepage of the Service except as enabled by integrated features of the Service. You agree to cooperate with us as requested to remove any links that we determine violate these Terms. We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission at any time and without notice.

14. LINKS TO EXTERNAL SITES

The Service may contain links or otherwise facilitate access to other websites, services, and platforms ("External Sites"). Whether such links are established by us or another party, Infinite Stories is not responsible for the availability or policies of External Sites, nor do we endorse the activities or services provided by External Sites. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL WE BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT, GOODS, OR SERVICES AVAILABLE ON EXTERNAL SITES.

15. PRIVACY

Your submission of personal information through the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference.

16. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, INFINITE STORIES DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICE OR THE INFINITE STORIES CONTENT IS MERCHANTABLE, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURATE, TIMELY, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NEED, OR NON-INFRINGING. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY INFINITE STORIES OR A REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT (I) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT IT IS ERROR-FREE, RELIABLE, WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES; (II) THE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITIES THAT MAY BE OBTAINED THROUGH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY SUPPORT SERVICES, WILL BE EFFECTIVE, RELIABLE, AND ACCURATE OR MEET YOUR NEEDS; (III) YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE (EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY NETWORKS) AT ALL TIMES OR LOCATIONS OF YOUR CHOOSING; OR (IV) THE INFINITE STORIES CONTENT (INCLUDING ARTISAN CONTENT) WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

HOWEVER, YOU AGREE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

18. INDEMNIFICATION

This section applies to Adventurers only. You agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and (at their option) defend Infinite Stories from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising from or related to: (i) your breach of any of these Terms; (ii) any Adventurer Content you Share in connection with your use of the Service; and (iii) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

We reserve the right to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and you agree to cooperate with us if and as requested by us in the defense and settlement of such matter. In any case, you agree never to settle any matter for which your indemnification is required absent our prior written consent.

Further, if you initiate (or threaten to initiate) any litigation, arbitration, or otherwise assert any claim against Infinite Stories that is based or relies, in whole or in part, upon a repudiation or breach of any promises, representations, warranties, agreements, or consents that you have made to or with Infinite Stories pursuant to these Terms (collectively "Prohibited Legal Actions"), you agree to indemnify us from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising from or related to the Prohibited Legal Action (or your threat of the same), regardless of legal theory and whether the action is brought or asserted individually or as part of a collective or class proceeding.

19. DISPUTES & ARBITRATION

If there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute between you and Infinite Stories arising out of or related to your use of the Service (including, for avoidance of doubt, any User Content acquired, sold, or Shared on the Service) or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or the Artisan Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Infinite Stories agree to resolve the Dispute through the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this section, even if that Dispute arose prior to the Effective Date of these Terms.

A. Informal Dispute Resolution

You and Infinite Stories agree to first attempt to avoid the costs of formal dispute resolution by giving each other a full and fair opportunity to address and resolve the Dispute informally. The party with the complaint (the "Complaining Party") shall send written notice to the other party (the "Receiving Party") describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute (a "Dispute Notice").

All Dispute Notices must: (1) be signed by the Complaining Party; (2) include the Complaining Party's name, physical address, and email address; (3) describe with specificity the nature and basis of the Dispute in a manner sufficient for the Receiving Party to evaluate the merits of the Complaining Party's individualized claim, and (4) set forth the alleged damage and harm suffered and the specific relief sought with a calculation for it. Each Dispute Notice is limited to a single Dispute between you and Infinite Stories. As such, your Dispute and the Disputes of other parties may not be combined into a single Dispute Notice.

Dispute Notices shall be sent as follows:

  • To Infinite Stories: You must send notice (1) by electronic mail to legal@infinitestories.com and (2) by first-class or certified mail to Infinite Stories LLC, c/o ArentFox Schiff LLP, 1301 Avenue of the Americas, 42nd Floor, New York, NY 10019.

  • To You: We will send notice by (1) first class or certified mail to the physical address we have on file for you (if any) and (2) by email to the email address we have on file for you (if any). If we do not have any address on file for you, or if we are, for any reason, unable to provide notice via the contact information on file, we reserve the right to provide notice by other reasonable means.

You and Infinite Stories will attempt to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days beginning on the date that a valid Dispute Notice is sent (the "Informal Negotiation Period"). During the Informal Negotiation Period, the parties are required to conduct an individual meet-and-confer in person, or via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the Dispute between you and Infinite Stories (the "Conference"). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference, but you will also need to participate. Infinite Stories will participate in the Conference through one or more representatives, which may include our counsel.

Both you and Infinite Stories agree that the foregoing dispute resolution procedure (the "Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure") is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration or litigation against the other party. If any aspect or requirement of the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure has not been completed or satisfied, the parties agree that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction can enjoin the filing or prosecution of any arbitration or litigation and (ii) unless prohibited by law, no arbitration administrator shall accept or administer any arbitration or demand fees in connection with the Dispute.

B. Individual Arbitration

IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AND INFINITE STORIES AGREE THAT SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE IN COURT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE OR WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION, INCLUDING DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS.

All such Disputes shall be exclusively submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect (as modified by these Terms), before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties (a Dispute submitted to JAMS being a "Demand for Arbitration"). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (the "Minimum Standards") if (and only if) it is determined by JAMS that the Minimum Standards are applicable to the Dispute. The Minimum Standards are available at www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards. The location of any hearings will be determined by the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the claim is for $5,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted (1) solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator or (2) through a hearing by teleconference or videoconference.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any issues arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. For the avoidance of doubt, you and Infinite Stories agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this section of the Terms or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

C. Mass Arbitration

This Section 19(C) applies to Mass Arbitrations (defined below) and supersedes any provision to the contrary in these Terms.

If you or Infinite Stories files a Demand for Arbitration, and it is one of fifty (50) or more similar Demands for Arbitration filed against the other party (i.e., you or Infinite Stories, as applicable) by parties represented by the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination ("Mass Arbitration"), the arbitration of the Dispute, and all other Disputes constituting the Mass Arbitration, shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, including, for avoidance of doubt, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Fee Schedule (collectively, the "Mass Arbitration Procedures"). The Mass Arbitration Procedures are available at www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures.

You and Infinite Stories agree that, in the event of a Mass Arbitration, any issues arising under or relating to (a) the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable or (b) the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this Section 19 or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction.

D. Exceptions

In lieu of the dispute resolution procedures in Sections 19(A)-(C), you or Infinite Stories may (1) bring an individual claim or elect to resolve a Dispute in small claims court in the United States consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply, so long as the action is litigated exclusively in small claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction; and (2) file an individual claim in court to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of its intellectual property rights. You and Infinite Stories agree that any claims referenced in the preceding sentence must be brought and maintained on an individual basis.

In addition, nothing in these Terms prohibits you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).

20. CHOICE OF LAW AND CHOICE OF FORUM

A. Choice of Law

These Terms and your use of the Service shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the state of Virginia, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.

B. Choice of Forum

Except for Disputes properly lodged in a small claims court in the United States, any Disputes not subject to arbitration for any reason shall be resolved by a court located in Virginia, and you agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such action.

21. JURISDICTION

Infinite Stories controls and operates the Service from within the United States and makes no representation or warranty that the Service is appropriate or available for use or access in any location outside of the United States. Anyone using or accessing the Service from outside the United States does so on their own risk and is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. and international export control laws and regulations.

22. CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe that material on the Service infringes a copyright that you own or are authorized to enforce, please send a notice of copyright infringement ("Copyright Notice") to our agent designated for responding to reports of copyright infringement ("Designated Agent"). In the subject line of your message, please include "Re: Claim of Copyright Infringement." The contact information for our Designated Agent is as follows: Infinite Stories LLC, c/o ArentFox Schiff LLP, 1301 Avenue of the Americas, 42nd Floor, New York, NY 10019 (mail); +1 (424) 209-7761 (telephone); legal@infinitestories.com (email).

To be effective, the Copyright Notice must be a written communication that includes the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;

  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, an email address at which the complaining party may be contacted;

  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and;

  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

When we receive a substantially compliant Copyright Notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We may give notice to the user responsible for the content by means of a general notice on the Service, email to the user's address in our records, or written communication sent by first-class mail to the user's physical address in our records. If you receive such a notice and believe that the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may provide counter-notification in writing to the Designated Agent ("Counter-Notification"). To be effective, a Counter-Notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature;

  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

  3. A statement from you, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and

  4. Your name, physical address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a federal district court for the judicial district in which your physical address is located, or if your physical address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of allegedly infringing material or an agent of such person.

In an effort to protect the rights of copyright owners, we maintain a policy of terminating access to the Service, in appropriate circumstances and where technically feasible, of users we determine to be repeat infringers.

23. MODIFICATION/TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS AND THE SERVICE

A. Changes to these Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we do so, we will update the "Effective Date" above.

Your use of the Service following any changes to these Terms will constitute your acceptance of the Terms as modified.

We may terminate these Terms or suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if (a) we believe you have breached any of these Terms, (b) we stop providing the Service or any material component thereof, or (c) as we believe necessary to comply with applicable law.
