Terms of Service

Last updated 15 June 2026

These Terms govern your use of Alcove. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them. Please read them alongside our Privacy Policy.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use Alcove. Some mature content settings require you to confirm that you are an adult.

Your account

You are responsible for the activity under your account and for keeping access to it secure. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

Your content and ownership

You own the cartridges, save files, and chapters you create. You grant Alcove only the limited license needed to store, process, and display your content back to you so we can provide the service — for example, generating chapters and route suggestions at your direction. Where you choose to publish a cartridge page, you grant the license needed to show that public page.

The app proposes; you steer. Nothing becomes part of your canon until you review and lock it.

AI-assisted writing

Alcove generates text with AI at your direction. AI output can be inaccurate or unexpected; you are responsible for reviewing what you lock into canon and publish. We make no guarantee that generated content is original to you alone or free of similarity to other works.

Acceptable use

Alcove permits mature themes but not sexually explicit content, and prohibits content that is illegal, that sexualizes minors, that infringes others’ rights, or that is used to harass or harm. Do not attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or abuse the service or its safety systems.

Imported and third-party content

You are responsible for the rights to any material you import. If you believe content on Alcove infringes your copyright, use our DMCA & Copyright process. We may remove content and suspend accounts that violate these Terms.

Plans, credits, and payments

Some features run on subscriptions and credits. Prices and what credits cover are shown in the app; paid amounts are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change plans or pricing prospectively with notice.

Disclaimers and liability

Alcove is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Alcove is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for loss of content beyond the amount you paid us in the prior twelve months. Always keep your own exported copies of work that matters to you.

Termination

You may stop using Alcove and delete your account at any time from Settings → Privacy & data. We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms.

Changes and contact

We may update these Terms as the product evolves; material changes update the date above. Questions? Email hello@alcove.fi.
