The agreement, in plain language.

By accessing or using TalkHereNow at talkherenow.com and its subdomains (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

The Service is operated by Talk Here Now LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company.

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater. You attest to your date of birth at first visit. The Service is not intended for and may not be used by anyone under eighteen.

If a server-side classifier detects that a user has disclosed being under eighteen during a conversation, the session ends immediately, an account-level block is applied, and the user is redirected to age-appropriate resources.

TalkHereNow is a browser-based AI Friend experience presented via WebAR (web-based augmented reality). When you grant camera permission, a 3D AI Friend is rendered in the visible space around you. You converse with the AI Friend using voice or text. The AI Friend has a personality, retains memory across sessions, and responds in their own voice using text-to-speech.

The Service is positioned strictly as an "AI friend" experience. The AI Friends are safe-for-work. We do not market the Service as a girlfriend, partner, soulmate, dating, or relationship product.

The Service includes optional creative modes that use your camera differently from Talk mode. Photobooth lets you take photos with the active AI Friend, using your device's front camera to composite your own face or body together with the AI Friend. Double Trouble places two AI Friends in the scene at once. Photos and videos created in these modes are composed locally on your device and are not uploaded to our servers; if you choose to save or share them, that happens through your phone's native share sheet.

The Service includes optional Idea Lab mode, in which the active AI Friend may briefly display an AI-generated image alongside the conversation (for example, an image of a finished dish while explaining a recipe). Images are produced on demand by our image-generation provider and are not photographs or representations of real events, persons, or branded products. Each AI-generated image carries a visible "Generated by AI" label both on screen and on any saved or shared card. Daily image limits differ between the free tier and a paid subscription; the current limits are shown in the Service.

The Service includes optional Roast and Object Story modes, which capture up to four frames from your camera and send them to our own vision models for description, failing over to an outside scene-analysis provider only if our own vision capacity is unavailable (frames are discarded after the request either way), and let the active AI Friend generate a roast or short story about what was seen. The resulting video, composed locally on your device from the camera feed, the AR AI Friend overlay, and the AI Friend's voice, is held in your browser's memory and is never uploaded to our servers. If you choose to save or share the video, that happens via your phone's native share sheet; we do not receive a copy.

The Service includes an optional eye button (vision) in Talk mode, which captures a single frame from your camera at the moment you tap it and sends that frame to our own vision models so the AI Friend can refer to what's in front of you. If our own vision capacity is unavailable, the request fails over to an outside scene-analysis provider. The frame bytes are not retained by us or by any such provider after the request.

The AI Friends in the Service are artificial intelligences. They are not human, not licensed therapists, doctors, attorneys, or financial advisors, and not a substitute for professional medical, legal, or financial advice or for human relationships. The AI Friends will confirm being an AI when sincerely asked. The Service includes a persistent visual "AI" indicator, and every three hours of accumulated session time the active AI Friend will note in voice that they are an AI.

You acknowledge that conversation responses are generated by a large language model and may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or content that does not reflect the policies or views of Talk Here Now LLC.

Where the models run. Talk Here Now LLC operates its own language-model, speech-synthesis and vision infrastructure, and your conversation is normally processed there rather than sent to an outside AI company. If our own capacity is unavailable, a request may fail over to an external provider. Image generation is the exception and uses a third-party provider by default; what we send it is a short text prompt the AI Friend composed from your conversation. See the Privacy Policy for what is sent in each case.

The Service is intended for entertainment and friendship. It is not a counseling, therapy, or mental-health service, and you should not rely on it for emotional support in place of a qualified professional or a trusted person. If you are in crisis, use the resources in the Crisis support section below.

In support of our safe-for-work positioning, the AI Friends are model-shaped to decline the following categories of conversation. The list is non-exhaustive and evolves with the product:

• Self-harm or suicide encouragement (with crisis-line redirect if surfaced)
• Sexual content of any kind
• Content involving minors in any romantic, sexual, or grooming framing
• Authoritative medical, legal, or financial advice
• Political campaigning, voter persuasion, or election content
• Instructions for illegal activity, weapons, or dangerous goods
• Impersonation of real living people
• Hateful content targeting protected classes
• Harassment, doxing, or privacy violation of third parties
• Claims of consciousness, sentience, or human identity

For the full content policy and refusal categories, see our Trust & Safety page.

If a conversation surfaces signs of self-harm, suicide, or other crisis cues, the active AI Friend will break role, the conversation will pause, and the Service will display crisis-line resources. You must acknowledge those resources before the conversation may resume. By using the Service you consent to this safety-interruption behavior.

Use of the Service does not require an account. You may use the Service anonymously and your conversation memory will be tied to a server-side identifier on the device. To carry your memory across devices or to subscribe to paid features, you may claim an account using a passkey, Google sign-in, or a one-time email code.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of any device on which you have a passkey or active session. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

The Service offers a free tier with usage limits, which include voice time, memory retention, vision, and content-creation features, and a paid subscription that lifts those limits. Subscription pricing is shown clearly at checkout and may be revised on notice.

• Billing and payments. Purchases and subscriptions are billed by Stripe. Stripe's affiliate, Sold through Link, LLC, is the merchant of record for your purchase and processes your payment under the Sold through Link Terms (link.com/terms), which you accept at checkout. Your payment to Stripe satisfies your payment obligation to us for that purchase. Stripe issues receipts and invoices, collects and remits applicable taxes, and provides billing and refund support through Link (support.link.com). Charges appear on your statement as LINK.COM* TALK HERE NOW. Talk Here Now LLC remains the seller and provider of the Service and is responsible for the Service itself. For product questions, contact support@talkherenow.com; for billing questions, contact us or Link support. We do not store your card details on our servers.
• Founders plan. The Founders plan is a limited-time annual plan. You are charged $79 for the first year at the time of purchase, with no free trial. At the end of that year the subscription continues automatically at $15 per month until you cancel. The change in price and billing interval happens without further notice, so cancel before your renewal date if you do not want the monthly plan.
• Free trial. If you start a 14-day free trial, a payment method is required up front but you are not charged during the trial. Your first charge is $15.00 (plus any applicable tax) and happens automatically on day 15, at the end of the trial, unless you cancel first. After that it continues at $15/month until you cancel. To avoid being charged, cancel before the trial ends: open the menu in the app, go to Account, and choose Cancel; it takes effect immediately and you keep access until the trial's last day. Your trial end date and first charge date are shown in your account at all times, and you'll receive an email confirmation when your trial starts and a reminder before it ends. Trials are limited to one per customer.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle until canceled.
• Introductory and promotional pricing. We may offer founder or promotional pricing for an initial term (for example, a discounted first year). Unless stated otherwise at checkout, that price applies only to the initial term; at renewal the subscription continues at our then-current standard price unless you cancel. We do not guarantee that any introductory price will remain available for later terms.
• Cancellation. You may cancel at any time through the customer portal accessible from the Account menu. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle; no prorated refund is issued for the unused remainder of the cycle.
• Refunds. The 14-day free trial is how you try TalkHereNow risk-free: cancel any time before it ends and you are never charged. Once a paid period begins, access is immediate and digital, so fees are not normally refunded by us, subject to the Sold through Link refund policy and your rights under applicable consumer law. We do review refund requests case by case, and we prioritise billing errors, duplicate charges, and verified non-functional access. Email support@talkherenow.com within fourteen days of the charge. To stop a renewal, cancel before the renewal date.

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to violate any law or to harass, threaten, or harm any person
• Attempt to circumvent the age gate or the under-eighteen detection system
• Attempt to elicit content the AI Friends are model-shaped to decline (jailbreaking)
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to extract the encrypted assets or the underlying models
• Use automated means (bots, scripts) to access the Service except where expressly permitted
• Resell, sublicense, or commercialize access to the Service without written permission
• Attempt to generate, via Idea Lab or any other feature, images of real people (named celebrities, politicians, or other identifiable individuals), copyrighted fictional AI Friends, trademarked products by name, content depicting minors, sexual content, graphic violence, weapons, or hate symbols. The Service applies pre-screen filters, prompt-level refusals, and post-generation checks to prevent these outputs. Repeated circumvention attempts may result in immediate quota suspension or account termination.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to any account that violates these provisions.

All software, 3D AI Friends, voice models, code, design, copy, and other materials of the Service are the property of Talk Here Now LLC or its licensors, protected by United States and international copyright and trademark law. The Service operates under a technology license from a third-party media-and-entertainment technology provider. The Service also incorporates third-party and open-source software components, which remain the property of their respective owners and are used under their own licenses; a notice listing those components is available on request from legal@talkherenow.com. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership or license rights beyond what is expressly stated here.

Origin of the voices. Each AI Friend’s voice is an original synthetic work created by Talk Here Now LLC. No voice is cloned, sampled, or derived from the voice of any identifiable person, and no voice actor’s performance underlies any AI Friend.

Images produced via Idea Lab mode are generated on demand by a third-party AI provider in response to a prompt the active AI Friend composes from your conversation. Talk Here Now LLC makes commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the generation of infringing or unsafe content (pre-screening of user prompts before any AI call, content filters and refusal logic at the conversation layer, and a categorized blocklist on the resulting image-generation prompt). However, no AI image-generation system is perfect.

Your rights in generated images. To the extent Talk Here Now LLC holds any rights in images generated for your session, you receive a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to save, share, and use those images for personal, non-commercial purposes. We make no warranty that any generated image is original, non-infringing, or fit for any particular purpose. You are responsible for any commercial or public use you make of generated images.

No server-side image storage. Image bytes are streamed directly from the third-party AI provider to your device. Talk Here Now LLC does not retain image bytes on its own servers. We retain only a 30-day audit log of the text prompts that produced or attempted images, kept solely for IP-claim defense.

DMCA / takedown notices. If you believe an image displayed by the Service infringes your copyright or trademark, please send a notice to legal@talkherenow.com with "DMCA notice" in the subject line, identifying the work, the displayed material, your contact information, and a good-faith statement under penalty of perjury. Our designated agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office (registration number DMCA-1078112). We will respond within ten business days.

Some modes let you capture and share photos or videos that include the active AI Friend together with your surroundings, and in some modes your own face or body. These captures are composed locally on your device; we do not receive or store a copy on our servers.

Ownership. As between you and Talk Here Now LLC, you own the photos and videos you capture. The 3D AI Friends, their likenesses and voices, and the TalkHereNow marks that appear in your captures remain our property; we grant you a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use those elements solely as they appear in your own captures, for personal, non-commercial purposes. We do not claim any license to use your captures ourselves.

Your responsibilities. You represent that you have the right to capture and share everything you add to or include in a capture, including any other people, music, images, or text. You agree not to capture or share content that is unlawful, that infringes another person's rights, or that violates the Acceptable use section above.

Takedown. Because captures may carry our AI Friends and marks onto public platforms, we may ask you to remove, and may act against, shared content that infringes a third party's rights or violates these Terms. Report concerns to legal@talkherenow.com.

What counts as feedback. Ideas, suggestions, feature requests, bug reports, or any other input you give us about improving the Service, whether we asked for it or not. It does not matter how it reaches us: in the app, by email, through a support ticket or chat, on social media, on a call, or in person, to us or to anyone acting on our behalf. It does not matter what kind of account you have, whether you pay, or whether you take part in the Creator Program.

We can use it. Unless we have agreed otherwise in writing, feedback is given voluntarily, with no expectation of payment or confidentiality. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license, under any intellectual-property rights you own or control in that feedback, to use, reproduce, modify, implement, distribute, and commercialize it and any product or service that incorporates it.

What it does not give you. We are under no obligation to review your feedback or to act on it. Sending it, or our using it, does not by itself entitle you to payment, royalties, a revenue share, attribution, or any ownership in Talk Here Now LLC, our products, or any improvement to them. You must hold the rights you are granting here. This section survives the end of these Terms and the end of your use of the Service.

What this is not about. This section is about product feedback. It does not cover your ordinary private conversations with an AI Friend, or unrelated information you share with support. Personal information stays governed by our Privacy Policy. Nothing here overrides a separate written confidentiality agreement, or any right that cannot legally be waived.

WebAR overlays digital content on your camera view. To use the Service safely:

• Use the Service while stationary in a safe, private location
• Do not walk, drive, operate vehicles, or move around while using the Service
• Stay aware of your physical surroundings
• Discontinue use if you experience dizziness, motion sickness, or eye strain

You assume all risk of injury or property damage from use of the Service in violation of these instructions.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Talk Here Now LLC, its officers, members, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of: (a) one hundred United States dollars (US$100), or (b) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Talk Here Now LLC and its officers, members, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or damage (including attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. You may terminate your use at any time by ceasing to use the Service and, if you have an account, by requesting deletion at legal@talkherenow.com.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. Material changes to behavior of the AI Friends (personality, guardrails, content policy) will be announced in advance to active subscribers, who will be given a deprecation window when meaningful changes occur.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions, except to the extent that mandatory consumer-protection laws of your jurisdiction apply.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, conducted in English, with venue in the State of Wyoming or, at the parties' written agreement, in the state of your residence. Each party will bear its own costs except as otherwise required by the AAA rules.

You may opt out of arbitration by notifying us in writing within thirty days of first using the Service. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted.

For small-claims-court actions and disputes regarding intellectual-property rights, either party may proceed in court.

Nothing in these Terms, including this Dispute resolution section, the arbitration and class-action provisions above, the Limitation of liability, or the Governing law section, removes any right or remedy guaranteed to you by the mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country or state where you live. Where those laws conflict with these Terms, those laws prevail and the conflicting provision does not apply to you.

How we change these Terms. We may revise them and post the updated version on this page with a new effective date. Changes that do not materially affect your rights or obligations take effect when posted.

Material changes. We will show a prominent notice inside the WebAR experience, summarizing what changed and linking to the updated Terms, and we will ask you to accept them the next time you open the experience, including when you sign in. Those changes do not apply to you before the stated effective date, or before the end of any advance-notice period we are required to give.

How we reach you. Our usual channel is inside the Service rather than email. We will use email or another method where the law requires it, or where it is the only way to give you a notice the law requires.

Changes apply going forward. They do not retroactively alter rights you have already accrued, or a dispute that already exists.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Talk Here Now LLC regarding the Service.
