Terms of Use

Version 1, effective 13 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and [PUBLISHER NAME TO BE ADDED BEFORE RELEASE] ("we", "us") about your use of Last Active: Chat Stories ("the app"). By using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. Who may use the app

You must be 16 or older to use the app. If you are under 18, use it only with the agreement of a parent or guardian.

2. The stories are fiction

Every story in the app is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, messages and events are invented. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, or to real events is coincidental.

The people who write to you in the app are characters. Their messages are written in advance; no real person is on the other side of a conversation, and nothing you do in the app is seen by one.

The note on an ending screen about how a situation "usually goes" is a general observation written for the story. It is not an account of any particular event and is not a statement of fact about any person.

3. Difficult subjects, and what the app is not

Some stories deal with stalking, controlling relationships, deception, illness, grief and loss. They may be upsetting. You choose which stories to play, and you can stop at any time.

The app is entertainment. It is not advice of any kind: not medical, psychological, legal or safety advice. Nothing in a story, including an ending described as "good", is a recommendation for how to act in real life. Real situations differ, and what works in a story may be wrong or unsafe for you.

The app is not a crisis or emergency service and nobody monitors it. If you or someone else is in danger, call your local emergency number. The "Find a helpline" link is offered for convenience; the services it lists are run by others and we are not responsible for them.

4. Your licence to use the app

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install the app and use it for your own enjoyment. It is free. We may add, change or remove stories and features, and we may stop offering the app, at any time.

5. What you must not do

• Copy, republish, sell or adapt the stories, artwork, sounds or other content, except as the law allows.
• Take the app apart, or get around its technical limits, except where the law says you may.
• Send false or automated information to our server, including to change a story's statistics.
• Use the app to break the law, or in a way that harms the service or other players.

6. Ownership

The app and everything in it belong to us or to those who license it to us, and are protected by copyright and other laws. These terms give you no rights in them beyond the licence above.

7. Your privacy

What the app does with information about you is set out in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

8. No guarantees

The app is provided as it is and as available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will be uninterrupted, free of errors, or suited to any particular purpose, or that saved progress will never be lost. Progress is stored on your phone and is lost if you delete the app.

9. Limits on our responsibility

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any distress, decision or action arising from your use of the app or from anything in a story. Because the app is free, our total responsibility to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for it, if any.

Nothing in these terms limits any responsibility that cannot be limited by law, and nothing takes away rights that the law of your country gives you as a consumer.

10. Changes and ending

We may change these terms. If a change matters, the app will show you the new version and ask you to agree before you carry on. You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it. We may end or suspend your access if you break these terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of [GOVERNING LAW TO BE ADDED BEFORE RELEASE], without affecting any protection the law of the country you live in gives you.

12. App stores

If you got the app from an app store, that store is not a party to these terms and is not responsible for the app or for supporting it. The store's own terms for apps also apply to your use.
