BRB2K Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of BRB2K, a nostalgic instant-messaging app where users chat with AI personas. By accessing or using BRB2K, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
BRB2K is for entertainment. AI buddies are fictional software experiences, not real people, professionals, emergency responders, or substitute caregivers.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use BRB2K. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use BRB2K only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.
2. Accounts and Security
You are responsible for your account, screen name, device security, and activity under your account. You must provide accurate account and recovery information and must not impersonate another person, reserve names in bad faith, or attempt to access another user's account.
3. AI Personas and AI Answers
BRB2K uses artificial intelligence to generate fictional chat responses. AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, unexpected, or unsuitable for your circumstances. BRB2K does not provide medical, legal, financial, mental-health, safety, or other professional advice. Do not use BRB2K for emergencies or situations where inaccurate information could cause harm.
AI personas may simulate memory, presence, mood, typing behavior, and conversation continuity. These features are part of the entertainment experience and should not be understood as human relationships, professional services, or factual representations.
4. User Content
You retain ownership of messages and other content you submit to BRB2K ("User Content"). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and create AI responses from User Content as needed to operate, secure, moderate, improve, and support BRB2K.
You are responsible for your User Content and for ensuring you have the rights needed to submit it. Do not submit confidential, highly sensitive, illegal, or third-party information unless you have the right to do so and understand the risks.
5. User-to-User Features
BRB2K is currently focused on AI persona chats. BRB2K may later offer features that allow users to communicate with other users, such as peer-to-peer chat, profiles, friend requests, groups, or shared content areas. If you use those features, your messages, profile information, screen name, and other content may be visible to the users you choose to interact with. Other users may copy, save, screenshot, report, or share content you send, so you should not share sensitive personal information, passwords, financial information, private images, or anything you would not want another person to keep.
User-to-user messages are not guaranteed to be private or end-to-end encrypted unless we expressly say otherwise in the app. We may store, process, filter, review, remove, or disclose user-to-user content when reasonably necessary to operate BRB2K, investigate abuse, enforce these Terms, protect users, comply with law, or respond to reports and support requests.
You may not use user-to-user features to harass, threaten, bully, exploit, groom, impersonate, dox, spam, defraud, or abuse anyone, or to send illegal, hateful, sexually exploitative, violent, or otherwise harmful content. We may remove content, restrict messaging, block accounts, preserve evidence, report unlawful conduct, or terminate accounts when we believe it is necessary for safety, legal compliance, or service integrity.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use BRB2K to:
- Harass, threaten, abuse, exploit, sexualize, or harm others.
- Create, request, or distribute illegal, hateful, violent, sexually exploitative, or abusive content.
- Solicit or disclose passwords, authentication codes, financial account numbers, government IDs, private keys, or similar secrets.
- Submit personal information about another person without a lawful basis or their permission.
- Use BRB2K for professional advice, emergency response, diagnosis, treatment, or decisions that could materially affect someone's rights, safety, finances, health, or employment.
- Reverse engineer, scrape, overload, probe, attack, bypass rate limits, evade safety systems, or misuse our infrastructure or AI providers.
- Use BRB2K to develop competing models or services where prohibited by applicable provider terms or law.
7. Moderation, Safety, and Enforcement
We may investigate suspected misuse, review reported content, restrict features, suspend accounts, delete content, preserve records, or terminate access where we believe it is necessary to protect users, BRB2K, service providers, or the public. We may also report unlawful activity when required or appropriate.
8. Subscriptions and Purchases
Some features may require a paid subscription or in-app purchase. Purchases are processed by the applicable app store and managed through RevenueCat. Subscription terms, renewal, cancellation, refunds, and billing are governed by the app store rules and the purchase screen shown at the time of purchase. You can manage or cancel subscriptions through your app store account settings.
9. Availability and Changes
BRB2K may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. AI providers, app stores, Firebase, Cloudflare, RevenueCat, and other third-party services may affect availability. We may update personas, safety systems, limits, subscription features, and app behavior without notice where reasonably necessary.
10. Intellectual Property
BRB2K, including its software, design, branding, text, graphics, sounds, personas, and other materials, is owned by Better Things Better or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you ownership of BRB2K or permission to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or reverse engineer it except as allowed by law.
11. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and delete information, including conversation content and AI processing data. By using BRB2K, you acknowledge that your messages may be processed by us and our service providers to provide AI responses and related features.
12. Third-Party Services
BRB2K relies on third-party services such as Firebase, Cloudflare, Anthropic, RevenueCat, and app store providers. Your use of BRB2K may also be subject to their terms, policies, and technical limits.
13. Termination
You may stop using BRB2K at any time and may request account deletion as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, abuse the service, or if we discontinue BRB2K.
14. Disclaimers
BRB2K is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, and error-free operation.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Better Things Better and its owners, employees, contractors, service providers, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption arising from or related to BRB2K or these Terms.
16. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Better Things Better from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses arising from your misuse of BRB2K, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of law or third-party rights.
17. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless your local law requires otherwise. Courts located in California will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring claims elsewhere.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms as BRB2K changes. If changes are material, we will provide notice as appropriate. Continued use of BRB2K after updated Terms become effective means you accept the updated Terms.
