These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Ashentale (“the app”), developed by Victor Bodinaud (“the developer”), an independent developer based in France.
Contact: ashentale-support@proton.me
By downloading, installing, or using Ashentale, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, do not download, install, or use the app. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the developer.
Ashentale is an interactive fiction app powered by local AI models. Users create scenarios (universes, characters) and play narrative adventures with an AI “Game Master” running entirely on their device. No internet connection is required for gameplay.
Ashentale is rated 17+. The app uses AI text generation that may produce mature, violent, or otherwise sensitive narrative content. The app is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 17. Use by minors is strictly under the sole responsibility of their parent or legal guardian. By using the app, you represent and warrant that you are at least 17 years old or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
The app uses open-source AI language models to generate narrative text entirely on your device. You expressly acknowledge, understand, and agree that:
Nothing generated by the app constitutes professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to medical, legal, financial, psychological, or therapeutic advice. AI-generated content is fictional narrative text intended solely for entertainment purposes. You should never rely on AI-generated content as a substitute for professional advice. The developer disclaims all liability for any harm resulting from reliance on AI-generated content.
You expressly acknowledge and assume all risks arising from your download, installation, and use of the app, including but not limited to:
Your use of the app is entirely voluntary and at your own risk.
The AI models available in Ashentale are provided by third parties under open-source or open-weight licenses. You acknowledge and agree that:
Ashentale offers in-app purchases including scenario packs and subscriptions. All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Refunds and purchase disputes are handled exclusively by Apple according to their terms and conditions. The developer does not process payments and has no access to your payment information.
Under EU consumer law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital purchases. However, by initiating a download of digital content (scenario packs, AI models) or activating a subscription, you expressly consent to the immediate delivery of the digital content and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the download or delivery has begun, in accordance with Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU.
If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal before delivery begins, contact Apple Support, as all purchases are processed by Apple.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
THE DEVELOPER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from the developer or through the app, shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THE DEVELOPER’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
This section applies to users who are consumers residing in the European Union or European Economic Area.
Nothing in these Terms shall affect your mandatory rights as a consumer under EU law, including but not limited to:
Under Directive (EU) 2019/770 on digital content and digital services, you benefit from a legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services supplied by the developer. The developer is liable for any lack of conformity that becomes apparent within two (2) years of the supply of digital content. In the event of a lack of conformity, you are entitled to have the digital content brought into conformity free of charge, or to receive an appropriate price reduction, or to terminate the contract under the conditions set out in applicable national law.
In accordance with Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair terms in consumer contracts, any term of these Terms that creates a significant imbalance between the rights and obligations of the parties to the detriment of the consumer may be deemed non-binding. The limitations of liability, warranty disclaimers, and indemnification clauses in these Terms apply only to the extent permitted by the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.
In accordance with the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), we inform you that:
Where any provision of these Terms conflicts with mandatory provisions of EU consumer law or the national consumer protection law of your country of residence, the mandatory provisions shall prevail. In particular:
This section applies to users who are consumers residing in the United Kingdom.
Nothing in these Terms shall affect your statutory rights as a consumer under UK law.
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, digital content must be of satisfactory quality, fit for a particular purpose, and as described. If digital content does not meet these standards, you may be entitled to a repair or replacement, or a price reduction. The limitations of liability and warranty disclaimers in these Terms apply only to the extent permitted by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and other applicable UK consumer protection legislation.
Under Part 2 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, a term of these Terms may be deemed unfair and non-binding if it causes a significant imbalance in the parties’ rights and obligations to the detriment of the consumer.
Your data is protected under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. As stated in our Privacy Policy, we do not collect or process any personal data. All data remains on your device. The relevant supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Where any provision of these Terms conflicts with mandatory provisions of UK consumer law, the mandatory provisions shall prevail. In particular:
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the app. For EU and UK consumers, this clause applies only to the extent permitted by the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
For users residing in the United States: You and the developer agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the app (“Dispute”) shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring individual claims in small claims court if the claims qualify.
Arbitration shall be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration provider under its then-current consumer arbitration rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND THE DEVELOPER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and the developer agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
You may opt out of this arbitration and class action waiver provision by sending written notice to ashentale-support@proton.me within thirty (30) days of first downloading or using the app. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, the Governing Law section below applies.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of France, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
The developer reserves the right to discontinue the app or remove it from the App Store at any time without prior notice or liability. You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it from your device. Upon termination, all provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including but not limited to Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Dispute Resolution) shall survive.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding the app and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral.
The failure of the developer to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the developer to be effective.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your binding acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the app. Material changes may be communicated through an app update or notice within the app.
