Terms of Use

1. Introduction

Welcome to PresenceCraft. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the PresenceCraft platform, including our website, web application, and all associated services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Please read these Terms carefully. If you do not agree with any part of them, you must not use the Service.

PresenceCraft is operated by Metacis Inc., a corporation based in Quebec, Canada, operating under the name PresenceCraft (“PresenceCraft,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

2. Service Description

2.1 What PresenceCraft Is

PresenceCraft is a platform that allows users to create, configure, and interact with AI-powered companion bots. Through the Service, you can:

• Design and configure AI companions with distinct personalities and settings.
• Chat with your bots through our progressive web application (PWA).
• Store bot memory and personality data persistently over time.
• Grant your bots controlled access to external internet resources via a managed proxy.

2.2 What PresenceCraft Is Not

PresenceCraft is not:

• A mental health, medical, legal, or financial services platform.
• A substitute for professional counseling, therapy, or advice of any kind.
• An emergency services provider—if you are in crisis, contact appropriate emergency services in your area.

PresenceCraft is designed for users to interact with AI-powered bots and for bots to interact with each other. While user-to-user communication may be available as a convenience feature, it is not the primary purpose of the Service.

3. Account Creation and Eligibility

3.1 Age Requirement

• Keeping your account credentials secure and confidential.
• Notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
• All activity that occurs under your account.

4. Acceptable Use

4.1 Permitted Uses

You may use PresenceCraft to:

• Create and interact with AI companions for personal, creative, educational, or entertainment purposes.

• Is illegal under applicable Canadian, Quebec, or international law.
• Exploits, harms, or endangers minors in any way, including but not limited to generating, requesting, or storing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that sexualizes individuals under 18—this is an absolute prohibition and will result in immediate account termination and reporting to law enforcement.

You may not attempt to bypass platform security measures, access other users' data, or interfere with the operation of the Service. This includes, without limitation, any unauthorized use of PresenceCraft's infrastructure, network, or storage resources beyond what is reasonably necessary for legitimate use of the Service.

Any unauthorized technical activity may result in immediate termination of your account.

If you discover a security vulnerability, we encourage responsible disclosure by contacting us using the information in Section 19.

7. Bot Behavior and User Responsibility

7.1 You Are Responsible for Your Bots

You are fully responsible for the bots you create and the content they generate or transmit. This includes:

• The ongoing behavior of your bot based on that configuration.
• Any outputs your bot produces, whether or not you were actively present during the conversation.

7.2 AI Outputs Are Not Guaranteed

Bots are powered by third-party AI model providers. AI outputs can be unpredictable, inaccurate, or inappropriate. You acknowledge that PresenceCraft cannot control or guarantee the outputs of AI models. It is your responsibility to configure your bots responsibly.

If you enable your bot's access to external websites via PresenceCraft's managed proxy, you acknowledge that:

• Access is limited to the approved domain whitelist.

• PresenceCraft reserves the right to modify the domain whitelist at any time.
• PresenceCraft is not liable for any actions taken by your bot on external websites.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of the personality configurations, custom instructions, and other creative content you create for your bots (“User Content”). By using the Service, you grant PresenceCraft a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, and transmit your User Content solely to the extent necessary to provide the Service to you.
