Terms of Service
Effective November 1, 2026
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using Plotelle (the "Platform", "Service", "we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform. These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Badger IT LLC, the operator of Plotelle.
2. Description of service
Plotelle is an AI-powered platform that lets users submit creative concepts and ideas for graphic novels. Our AI system then generates graphic novel content — including visual panels, dialogue, and narrative — based on those submissions. Users may edit, refine, and download the generated content. AI-generated output is provided as a creative starting point; we do not guarantee any specific artistic style, narrative quality, or visual fidelity.
3. Eligibility and age requirements
The Platform is open to users of all ages, subject to the following:
- Users under 13 must have verifiable parental or guardian consent before creating an account or submitting content.
- Users 13–17 represent that they have obtained parental or guardian permission.
- Users 18 and older may use the Platform subject to these Terms.
4. User accounts
4.1 Account creation
To access certain features you may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated.
4.2 Account security
You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We are not liable for loss resulting from unauthorized access.
4.3 Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for violation of these Terms or at our discretion.
5. Submissions and AI-generated content

5.3 Ownership of AI-generated content
- You retain ownership of any original creative elements you provide in your Submission.
- AI-generated output produced solely from your Submission, without meaningful human authorship, may not be eligible for copyright protection under current US law.

- Plotelle retains a license to generated output for the purpose of improving its AI systems.
6. AI training data consent
By using the Platform and submitting content, you acknowledge and agree that your Submissions — and the AI-generated content produced from them — may be used to train, improve, and develop the Platform's AI models. This means:
- Your text prompts, story ideas, and creative inputs may be retained and used as training data;
- The generated visual and narrative content produced from your Submissions may be included in AI training datasets;
- Aggregated or anonymized versions of your Submissions may be shared with third-party AI development partners.
You may opt out of having your Submissions used for AI training by emailing badgeritllc@gmail.com with subject line "AI Training Opt-Out". Opting out does not delete data already used in training.

You agree not to use the Platform to submit, generate, or distribute content that:

- Depicts, promotes, or glorifies child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — zero-tolerance, reported to law enforcement and NCMEC;

Class action waiver: you agree that any arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action.
13. Changes to terms
We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify registered users of material changes by email or a prominent Platform notice at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
