Terms of Service

Last updated: July 6, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Ouba (“Ouba,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and govern your access to and use of the Ouba mobile application and website at ouba.art (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

The Service is intended only for users aged 18 and older. By using the Service you represent that you are at least 18 years old and are able to form a binding contract. The Service is not directed to anyone under 18.

2. The Service

Ouba is a story-first interactive reading experience in which you read and make choices that shape interactive romance and fiction stories. To generate interactive responses, your inputs may be processed by third-party artificial-intelligence providers. Stories and characters are works of fiction; any resemblance to real persons or events is coincidental. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features of the Service at any time.

3. Accounts and Sign-In

Some features require an account. You may create or access an account using an email address or a supported third-party sign-in option (for example, continuing with TikTok or Google). When you use a third-party sign-in, we receive limited profile information from that provider (such as a profile identifier, display name, and avatar) solely to create and identify your account; we do not receive your third-party password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account, and you agree to notify us of any unauthorized use. You may sign out or request deletion of your account at any time.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
  • attempt to access, tamper with, probe, scrape, or disrupt the Service, its infrastructure, or other users’ accounts;
  • reverse engineer, resell, or make unauthorized commercial use of the Service;
  • upload or transmit content that is unlawful, infringing, or that violates the rights of others;
  • use the Service to generate content involving minors or otherwise prohibited by our guidelines or our providers’ policies.

5. User Content and AI Output

You retain ownership of the inputs and choices you provide (“User Content”). You grant Ouba a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, and use User Content to operate and improve the Service. You are responsible for your User Content. AI-generated output is provided for entertainment, may be inaccurate or fictional, and should not be relied upon as advice.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, text, and branding, is owned by Ouba or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted to you, we reserve all rights. “Ouba” and related marks are our trademarks; you may not use them without our prior written permission.

7. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third parties to function, including providers of cloud hosting and databases, authentication and third-party sign-in, analytics, and artificial-intelligence text generation. Your use of a third-party sign-in or service is also subject to that party’s terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.

8. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUBA AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR USD $100.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ouba and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising out of your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, including for violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes are effective when posted, and the “Last updated” date reflects the latest revision. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there, except where prohibited by applicable law.
