Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Famously Us (the "Service"), operated by Weizware LLC ("Famously Us," "we," "us"). By creating an account, contributing to a game, joining a live game, or purchasing a game, you agree to these Terms.

1. What Famously Us Does

Famously Us lets a host ("Host") create a personalized party game about a specific group of people. The Host and, optionally, other members of that group ("Contributors") submit stories, quotes, memories, preferences, and photos about themselves and each other — Contributors are asked to write about a few other people in the group as well as themselves. We use artificial intelligence to turn that material into game content ("Cards") across several round formats — including rounds built around uploaded photos, and, for a Celebration Edition, a round about one featured person. The Host reviews and approves every Card before the group plays, on one screen or with each player on their own phone.

2. Accounts and Eligibility

• You must be at least 18 years old to create a Host account.
• You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for all activity under your account.
• Contributors do not need an account. They use a private link the Host shares with them, and before contributing they agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy by ticking a box.
• People who join a live game on their phone likewise tick a box agreeing to these Terms and our Privacy Policy before they join.
• Children under 13 may play only with a parent or guardian present who agrees for them, and only as someone the Host has already added to the game: a child is never asked for their name or any other information.
• If children will be present while a game is played, the Host is responsible for using the "children present" setting and for reviewing all Cards before play.

3. Free Generations, Referrals, and Credits

You can generate a limited number of games, and regenerate a limited number of individual Cards, without paying. Referring someone who creates an account grants a bonus generation to both of you.

• Credits and free generations have no cash value, cannot be sold, transferred, or exchanged for money, and are not refundable.
• We may change the limits, or the referral bonus, at any time. Playing a game you have already purchased is never affected.
• Creating accounts in bulk, referring yourself, or otherwise manufacturing credits is a breach of these Terms. We limit how many accounts can be created from one location and may revoke credits obtained this way.

4. Your Content

"Your Content" means anything you or a Contributor submits — text answers, quotes, memories, preferences, and photos. You retain ownership of Your Content. By submitting it, you grant Famously Us a license to store, process, and use Your Content (including sending it to third-party AI providers, described below) solely to generate, moderate, and operate the game you or your Host created.

5. Content About Other People

Famously Us is built around stories and photos about real people, not just yourself. By submitting content that describes, quotes, or depicts another person — or by giving us their email address so they can be invited to contribute or sent the game's recap — you confirm that:

• you have that person's permission to share it in this private game;
• you have their permission to give us their email address, if you provide one; and
• the content is something you have the right to share — you won't submit anything confidential, defamatory, or shared without consent; and
• you have permission from each person whose name, likeness, or photo you include — or, for a child, from their parent or guardian — to use it in the game, in its recap, and in anything you choose to share from it.

What you write may be credited to you. Some rounds are built around who wrote an answer — the group guesses, and then your name is shown as its author — and at the end of a game a few warm things people wrote about each other are read out as toasts, with the writer's name. Write only what you would be comfortable having read out to the group with your name on it. Answers you mark as host-only are never used this way.

Famously Us is not responsible for verifying permission between members of your group — that responsibility sits with the people submitting content about each other. Anyone who appears in a game can ask the Host to remove their content, or can contact us at privacy@famouslyus.com.

6. AI-Generated Content

Cards are drafted by an AI model based on the material submitted. AI output can be inaccurate, can occasionally misinterpret submitted material, and is not a factual record of anything. The Host is responsible for reviewing every Card before it is approved for play. We run automated safety checks on submitted text, on uploaded photos, and on generated Cards, but these checks are not perfect, and final judgment about what's appropriate for your group rests with the Host.

7. Photos

Uploaded photos are analysed automatically before they can be used in a game: once to check for content unsuitable for a party game, and again to describe what is visible so that Cards can refer to the specific photo. Photos we block, or that a Host removes, are not used. We do not use facial recognition, and we do not extract or store face geometry or any other biometric identifier from photos. Do not upload photos of people who have not agreed to appear in the game.

8. Live Play and Audience Members

A Host can open a game to people who are present on the night but were not part of the group the game was written about. These audience members vote and score like everyone else but never appear as an answer in a Card. The Host controls whether latecomers can join. Votes, bluffs, and scores from a live session are stored as part of that game. Each player agrees to these Terms and says whether they are 13 or older when they join; see section 2 for children under 13.

9. Sharing a Recap

After a game, the Host can share a recap link showing the game's title and occasion, the names of the people in the game, the final scores and winner, the night's awards, a handful of highlight Cards with their answers, and — unless the Host turns them off — the photos used in the game. The rest of the game stays visible only to the Host. Anyone with the link can view it while it works. A link stops working 90 days after it was created; the Host can replace it with a new one, which switches the old one off.

By sharing a recap link, the Host confirms that the people shown in it are happy for their names and, where included, photos to be seen by the people the Host shares it with.

The Host can also choose, once per game, to email the recap to the people in the game whose email addresses they provided. By sending it, the Host confirms those people are happy to receive it.

10. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

• submit content involving medical conditions, sexual content, illegal conduct, abuse, or content designed to humiliate or bully a specific person;
• submit another person's private information (addresses, phone numbers, etc.);
• upload photos you do not have the right to share, or that depict a minor inappropriately;
• use the Service to harass, defame, or harm anyone;
• attempt to bypass usage limits, security controls, bot protection, or payment requirements, or to manufacture referral credits; or
• use the Service in a way that violates any applicable law.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these Terms.

11. Payments, Promotion Codes, and Refunds

Games are purchased as a one-time payment processed by Stripe. We do not store your payment card details. Where we offer a promotion code, it applies only to the purchase it is redeemed on, has no cash value, may be limited in time or quantity, and may be withdrawn at any time before it is redeemed. Refunds are calculated on the amount actually paid after any discount. See our Refund Policy for details.

12. Intellectual Property

The Famously Us name, logo, game formats, prompts, and software are owned by us. These Terms don't grant you any rights to our brand or technology beyond using the Service as intended.

13. Copyright Complaints

We respect copyright and respond to notices of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Send notices to our designated agent, including: the work you believe is infringed; where the material appears on the Service; your contact details; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. If material you submitted is removed, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent.

17. Termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from your account settings; deletion is immediate and permanent.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, and we'll update the "last updated" date above when we do. For material changes, we will notify account holders by email before the changes take effect. Continuing to use the Service after they take effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you don't accept them, you can stop using the Service and delete your account.

19. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Ohio, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in a small claims court that has jurisdiction.

20. General

• Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Refund Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of the business.
• No waiver. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
