Starholder Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Starholder’s products, websites, APIs, and services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.

2. Eligibility and Account Security

You represent and warrant that you are at least thirteen (13) years of age, or the minimum age of majority required by applicable law in your jurisdiction (whichever is greater), and have full power and authority to enter into these Terms. If you are accessing the Services on behalf of an entity, you further represent that you have authority to bind that entity. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not you authorized them. You must provide accurate and complete registration information and promptly update it as necessary to keep it current. You agree to immediately notify Starholder of any unauthorized use of your account or other security incident. Starholder reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that fail to meet these eligibility requirements.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Services. This includes prohibitions against reverse engineering, attempting unauthorized access, transmitting malware, infringing intellectual property rights, or violating applicable laws. We may suspend or terminate accounts that engage in prohibited conduct.

Starholder is a world-building platform centered on collaborative storytelling. Content or behavior that we deem obscene, pornographic, inflammatory, hateful, discriminatory, harassing, spammy, promotional, or otherwise disruptive to the creative mission of the platform is strictly prohibited. Starholder retains sole discretion to determine what conduct or material is impermissible and may suspend or permanently ban accounts without prior notice.

4. Content Ownership and Licensing

Starholder operates with a dual-ownership model:

• System-Generated Content. Assets generated by Starholder’s proprietary tools remain the property of Starholder. We grant the account holder who initiated creation a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, and commercialize those outputs, subject to these Terms and our acceptable use policies.
• User-Provided Content. You retain all rights in content you upload or import. By submitting such content, you grant Starholder a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to host, process, adapt, publish, display, and distribute it within the Services and in derivative system-generated outputs. This license terminates when you remove or delete the content from the Services, except to the extent retention is required for legal or operational reasons.

5. Generated Output Rights

Starholder grants each account holder a perpetual license to commercially exploit assets generated through their account, provided such use complies with applicable law and these Terms. Starholder retains the right to internally use and showcase system-generated materials for product development, demonstrations, marketing, and compliance purposes.

6. Feedback

If you provide feedback or suggestions, Starholder may use them without obligation to you. Feedback is considered non-confidential and non-proprietary.

7. Service Changes and Availability

We may modify or discontinue the Services (or any portion) at any time. We will endeavor to provide notice of significant changes, but we are not liable for modification, suspension, or discontinuance.

8. Disclaimers

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” Starholder disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Starholder and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Starholder, its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Services or violation of these Terms.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, including if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, provisions that by their nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability) will remain in effect.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Delaware for any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.

13. Changes to Terms

We may amend these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice via email or in-product messaging. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
