Everwhen

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Game. By using it, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

2. License to use the Game

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Game for your own non-commercial entertainment. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

3. Accounts

You can try the Game without an account. Creating an account works through a third-party sign-in provider (currently Google or Discord); we never ask for or store a password for you. You are responsible for your account and for all activity under it. Keep your sign-in method secure and notify us at hello@playeverwhen.com of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts as described in Section 13.

4. The Game is a work of interactive fiction

Everwhen is an entertainment product. Its characters, "historical figures," timelines, events, and outcomes are fictional and dramatized, generated in part by artificial intelligence and influenced by in-game randomness (e.g., dice). Nothing in the Game is a factual account of real people or events.

5. AI-generated content and no reliance

• Responses are generated by AI. The Game uses Anthropic's Claude models to generate replies, narrative, and outcomes, and may also use OpenAI models for generation. This content is produced automatically and may be inaccurate, misleading, incomplete, offensive, or entirely fabricated.
• Not fact, not advice. AI output is not historical fact, news, or a real statement by any real or historical person, and it is not professional advice of any kind (legal, medical, financial, or otherwise). Do not rely on it for any decision.
• Depictions of real or historical figures are fictional. Any portrayal of a real or historical person is an AI-generated dramatization for entertainment and does not represent that person's actual views, words, or conduct.
• Provided "as is." AI features are provided without warranty of accuracy, availability, or fitness for any purpose. You use them at your own risk.

6. Your content and conduct

• Your content. "User Content" means anything you submit, including the messages and prompts you type. You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the rights to submit it and that it does not violate these Terms or any law.
• License to us. You grant Two Ls a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit (including to our AI and infrastructure providers), modify (e.g., for formatting or moderation), and display your User Content as needed to operate, moderate, secure, and improve the Game. This license ends when your content is deleted from our active systems, except for copies retained for legal, backup, or safety purposes.
• Acceptable use. You agree not to use the Game, or submit User Content, to:
  • break any law or infringe anyone's rights;
  • generate, solicit, or distribute content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, defamatory, or that sexualizes or endangers minors;
  • attempt to produce real personal data about real individuals, or to harass, impersonate, or harm a real person;
  • generate instructions that facilitate serious harm (e.g., weapons, violence, illegal activity);
  • probe, attack, reverse-engineer, scrape, or circumvent the Game or its safeguards, or misuse the underlying AI services in violation of Anthropic's Usage Policy (including attempting to use outputs to train or improve another AI model); or
  • interfere with the Game's operation or other users' enjoyment of it.
• Moderation. We may (but are not obligated to) review, filter, refuse, remove, or restrict any content, and we may suspend or terminate accounts, at our discretion. We use automated moderation — including OpenAI's moderation service and an additional Anthropic model — to screen the content you submit and key responses the Game generates. We may report unlawful content (including any child-sexual-abuse material) to the authorities and relevant organizations.

7. Compliance with our providers' terms

The Game's AI features are powered by Anthropic, and content moderation is provided in part by OpenAI; we may also use OpenAI models for generation. Your use of the Game is also subject to those providers' acceptable-use and usage policies — in particular Anthropic's Usage Policy — and you agree not to use the Game in any way that would violate them. Among other things, Anthropic's policy requires that users be told they are interacting with an AI system (which we disclose in the Game) and prohibits using the service to train competing AI models, to generate content that sexualizes or endangers minors, or for other prohibited purposes.

8. Intellectual property

The Game, including its software, design, art, text, and trademarks (including "Two Ls" and "Everwhen"), is owned by Two Ls or its licensors and is protected by law. Except for the license in Section 2, you receive no ownership rights. AI-generated outputs are delivered to you as part of the Game for your personal, non-commercial play; note that, under applicable copyright law, purely AI-generated material may not be protectable by anyone. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely without obligation to you.

9. Runs, purchases, and payments

Everwhen is free to try and uses one-time purchases. Your first run is free and needs no account. More runs come as one-time run packs you can buy in the Game, and you can sometimes earn extra runs (for example, through sharing rewards). Runs never expire.

• Pricing. Prices for run packs, and any free-run allowances, are shown in the Game. We may change prices and allowances at any time; changes apply on a going-forward basis.
• Billing. Payments are processed by our payment processor, Stripe, under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not store full payment card numbers.
• Taxes. Listed prices may not include taxes; you are responsible for any taxes that apply to your purchase.
• Refunds. Purchases are final and non-refundable, except where a refund is required by law. We may choose to grant a refund in other cases at our discretion. If you are in the EU or UK, you agree that digital content is delivered immediately on purchase and acknowledge that you lose the statutory right of withdrawal once delivery has begun.
• No real-world value. Runs, credits, and virtual items are licensed to you for use in the Game only. They have no monetary value, are not your property, and cannot be redeemed for cash or transferred.

10. Disclaimers

THE GAME AND ALL CONTENT (INCLUDING AI OUTPUT) ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE GAME WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR APPROPRIATE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of the above may not apply to you; this section applies to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TWO LS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE GAME OR THESE TERMS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$50.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Two Ls and its members and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Game, or your violation of these Terms or the rights of others.

13. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, including for violations of these Terms. You may stop using the Game at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 14) will survive.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Game or these Terms will be brought and resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and you and Two Ls consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new date and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them.

16. Miscellaneous

These Terms (with the Privacy Policy and any posted rules) are the entire agreement between you and Two Ls regarding the Game. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a business transfer.
