ARTi Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the ARTi mobile application and related services (the "Service") provided by E1 Technology, Inc. ("ARTi", "we", "us"). Your use of the ARTi software is also governed by the End User License Agreement at /eula.
By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our EULA, and our Community Guidelines.
1. Eligibility and account
You must be at least 13 years old to use ARTi. During registration, you select an age band (for example 13–17, 18–24, 25–44, 45–59, or 60+); we do not collect or store your exact date of birth. The mobile apps do not offer an under-13 option, and anyone identified as under 13 cannot create an account.
Some countries set a higher minimum age. Where local law requires it, that higher age applies instead — for example 18 in India.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you must be 18 or older to use ARTi. We do not currently offer ARTi to people under 18 in those regions.
Elsewhere, if you are under 18, you must have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use ARTi, including its AI features. In South Korea, where the age of majority is 19, this applies if you are under 19.
You may only have one account per person. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity on your account. Notify us at support@arti.social if you suspect unauthorized use.
2. The Service
ARTi is a social learning platform where users explore topics by creating and sharing content — images, videos, infographics, games, fun facts, quizzes, and reflections — generated with AI assistance. The Service includes:
- Content creation. In the ARTi apps for iOS and Android, creating content requires an active ARTi+ subscription or free trial; on the web, your first project does not. Many content types also consume Gems. In the apps, on the free plan, each chat message and each "Learn more" request also consumes Gems; ARTi+ includes chat without Gem charges. The current cost is always shown before you confirm. Promotions may temporarily waive these requirements.
- A social feed, comments, likes, and projects.
- An optional premium subscription, ARTi+.
Features and pricing may change; we will give reasonable notice of material changes.
3. Subscriptions (ARTi+)
ARTi+ is offered as an auto-renewing subscription through the Apple App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), and on the web at arti.social (payments processed by Stripe):
- ARTi+ Monthly — USD 9.99 per month.
- ARTi+ Yearly — USD 89.99 per year.
Both plans include a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. On the web, plans are currently priced in Mexican pesos — MXN 175 per month and MXN 1,549 per year — and the exact price is shown at checkout before you pay.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID (iOS), your Google Play account (Android), or the card you enter on Stripe's checkout page (web) at confirmation.
- Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Cancel on iOS via Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → ARTi → Cancel Subscription; on Android via the Google Play Store → Subscriptions → ARTi → Cancel Subscription; on the web via your profile → Manage subscription, which opens the Stripe customer portal.
- Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
- Refunds for App Store and Google Play purchases are administered by Apple or Google under the applicable store's terms (Apple Media Services Terms or Google Play Terms of Service). For web purchases, write to support@arti.social; we handle refunds in accordance with applicable consumer law.
Local prices in non-USD currencies are displayed at the App Store, Google Play, or the web checkout and may include applicable taxes.
Brazil. If you are in Brazil, you may withdraw from an ARTi+ purchase within 7 days of the purchase (Consumer Defense Code, Art. 49). For App Store and Google Play purchases, request the refund through Apple or Google Play; for web purchases, or if you need help, write to support@arti.social.
EU, UK and Switzerland. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom or Switzerland and buy ARTi+ on the web, you may withdraw within 14 days of the purchase without giving a reason by writing to support@arti.social. If you asked us to start providing ARTi+ during that period, we may deduct an amount proportionate to what you received before you withdrew. App Store and Google Play purchases follow Apple's and Google's withdrawal and refund processes.
4. Gems
Gems are an in-app virtual currency used to create content, to chat with ARTi in the iOS and Android apps on the free plan, and for actions such as super-likes and streak freezes. Gems have no real-world monetary value, are non-transferable, and cannot be exchanged for cash. Gems balance is forfeit on account deletion or termination.
5. User-Generated Content
You retain ownership of the content you create on ARTi.
By posting or sharing content on ARTi, you grant E1 Technology, Inc. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes such as resizing or formatting), display, and distribute that content on or through the Service.
You represent that:
- You have all rights necessary to grant the license above.
- Your content does not infringe any third-party rights.
- Your content complies with these Terms and the Community Guidelines.
We may remove, restrict, or refuse content at our discretion when it violates these Terms or the Community Guidelines, in response to a valid legal demand, or to protect users.
When we remove your content, we will notify you with the reason and your right to appeal. If a removal was triggered by a copyright claim, see Section 9 (DMCA).
6. AI-generated content and consent
ARTi uses third-party AI services — currently Google LLC (Gemini, Imagen and Veo) and OpenAI OpCo, LLC — to generate visual content and to power the AI chat from your text prompts, and from any photo or image you choose to upload as visual reference. ARTi is a service based on generative AI: content created with ARTi's AI features is generated by AI.
6.1 Agreeing to AI processing
AI is how ARTi's creation and chat features work. During sign-up, before any AI feature can be used, we show you what is sent and to whom: the text prompt you submit, and any photo you choose to add, goes to Google and/or OpenAI to generate the content you requested. You agree by tapping Continue. We do not transmit any prompt or image to an AI provider before you have agreed.
To stop AI processing, stop using the AI features, or delete your account in Settings → Delete account. You can also write to privacy@arti.social and we will delete your account and its data for you. Browsing, reading and likes do not involve AI providers; comments and other posts are checked by AI for safety.
6.2 What is sent
Your text prompt is sent to the AI provider. When you explicitly choose to upload a photo or image as visual reference for AI generation, that image is also sent; in the current versions of the apps and on the web, metadata such as location is removed first, as explained in our Privacy Policy, Section 6.1. Photo upload is always optional and a separate, deliberate action — ARTi never reads your camera roll without your tapping to select a specific image. We do not send your email address, account ID or age band with it; the few personal details that are sent, such as the username you choose, which AI checks for safety, are listed in our Privacy Policy, Section 6.1. Full disclosure of the AI data flow, the providers' roles, and your rights is in our Privacy Policy, Section 6.
6.3 Quality and responsibility
- You are responsible for the prompts you submit and the content you publish.
- AI output may contain inaccuracies, biases, or errors. Review your content before publishing.
- The legal status of AI-generated content is evolving. We make no guarantee that AI-generated output is free of third-party rights, and you may be subject to a valid copyright claim if generated content closely reproduces copyrighted material.
- AI output is subject to the applicable terms of the upstream AI providers (Google AI / ML Service Specific Terms; OpenAI API data usage policies).
7. Acceptable use
You will not, and will not encourage others to:
- Post sexual, violent, hateful, harassing, or illegal content (see Community Guidelines).
- Impersonate another person, user, or ARTi staff member.
- Circumvent moderation or safety systems.
- Collect personal information about other users.
- Use bots, scrapers, or automated agents.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise tamper with the Service.
- Use the Service in violation of any applicable law.
Violations may result in content removal, warnings, suspension, or permanent termination, depending on severity and history.
8. Reporting and moderation
To report content or a user, long-press on any post, comment, or profile and select Report. Categories include Inappropriate Content, Harassment, Spam, and Copyright (DMCA). Our moderation team aims to act within 24 hours for high-risk reports and 72 hours for general reports. See the Community Guidelines for full policy.
Point of contact. Authorities and users can contact us about content moderation, including under the EU Digital Services Act, at support@arti.social, in English or Spanish.
Appeals. If we remove your content or restrict your account and you disagree, write to support@arti.social within six months. A person reviews your appeal and we tell you the result.
Users in South Korea. If content on ARTi infringes your privacy or damages your reputation, you can ask us to delete it or to publish your rebuttal by writing to support@arti.social with a link to the content and your reasons. We act without delay and notify both you and the person who posted it. If we cannot determine whether the content infringes your rights, or the parties dispute it, we may block access to it temporarily for up to 30 days (Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, Art. 44-2).
9. Copyright (DMCA)
ARTi complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. To submit a copyright infringement notice, see our DMCA page or write to dmca@arti.social.
We will:
- Promptly remove or disable access to content identified in a valid takedown notice.
- Notify the user whose content was removed.
- Offer the user an opportunity to submit a counter-notice.
- Terminate accounts of repeat infringers.
10. Termination
You may delete your account at any time via Profile → Settings → Delete Account, or by writing to support@arti.social. Deletion is permanent and forfeits Gems, points, and streaks.
We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, the Community Guidelines, or the EULA, or where required by law. After termination, sections 5 (license to content already posted), 6 (AI), 11 (warranties), 12 (liability), 14 (governing law), and 17 (general) survive.
11. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, except to the extent such warranties cannot be disclaimed under applicable law.
ARTi does not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that AI output will be accurate or non-infringing, or that user-generated content will be free of objectionable material.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, E1 Technology, Inc. and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to the Service.
Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) USD 100. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for damage caused by our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless E1 Technology, Inc. and its affiliates from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (i) your content, (ii) your breach of these Terms or the Community Guidelines, or (iii) your violation of any third-party right.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to applicable consumer protection laws in your country of residence:
- Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or the Service must be brought in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
- For users in the EU, UK, Mexico, Colombia, or other jurisdictions whose mandatory consumer law applies, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts and benefit from your local consumer protections.
15. Apple-specific terms
If you obtain ARTi through the Apple App Store, the following also apply:
- These Terms are between you and E1 Technology, Inc., not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Service.
- In the event the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, who may refund the purchase price; Apple has no further warranty obligation.
- Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and has the right to enforce them against you.
- You represent you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
16. Changes
We may update these Terms. For material changes we will give at least 14 days' notice in-app or by email. Continued use after the change constitutes acceptance. If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, continued use alone does not count as acceptance: where the law requires your consent to a change, we will ask for it, and if you don't agree you can stop using ARTi and cancel your subscription. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
17. General
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, EULA, and Community Guidelines, are the entire agreement between you and E1 Technology, Inc. regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect. No waiver of any term is a continuing waiver. We may assign these Terms; you may not assign them without our consent. If we provide a translation of these Terms or of the documents they incorporate and it differs from the English version, the English version controls, except where the law of your country gives you the right to rely on the version in your language.
