4.1 Ownership. You retain full ownership of all manuscripts, lore entries, character profiles, and other content you create or upload ("Your Content"). We claim no ownership over Your Content.

4.2 License to Operate. By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display Your Content solely to provide the Service to you. This license terminates when you delete your content or close your account.

4.3 AI Processing. Certain features use AI to analyze Your Content (e.g., Story Bible analysis, Scribe's Counsel). You authorize this processing as part of the Service. We do not use Your Content to train AI models. See Section 6 for full AI-related terms.

4.4 Responsibility. You are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent that you have all rights necessary to upload and use it within the Service.

You agree not to:

• Upload content that infringes any third party's intellectual property rights
• Upload content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, or harassing
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the Service
• Use the Service to develop a competing product
• Share your account credentials with others
• Circumvent any usage limits or security measures
• Use any AI feature in violation of Section 6.6 (AI-Specific Acceptable Use)

6.1 Description of AI Features

Nornveil uses third-party artificial intelligence models to power specific, optional features:

• Story Bible Analysis and Scribe's Counsel — large language models (currently Anthropic's Claude models) analyze manuscript text you submit to extract characters, locations, lore entries, and provide writing feedback and suggestions.
• Image Lab — an image generation model (currently via OpenAI's API) creates AI-generated artwork (e.g., character portraits) based on text prompts and style selections you provide.

These features run only when you actively invoke them. The Service does not run AI analysis automatically or in the background on Your Content, and AI features are entirely optional — Nornveil's manuscript editor, World Codex, and organizational tools function fully without them.

6.2 AI-Generated Content Disclosure

Nornveil discloses AI-generated and AI-suggested content differently depending on the feature, reflecting whether you have reviewed and taken ownership of it:

• Image Lab. Every image generated by Image Lab carries embedded provenance information identifying it as AI-generated. This information is written automatically when the image is created and persists through export — it is independent of, and unaffected by, any in-app display setting. Separately, the Service displays an "AI-generated" indicator on Image Lab images within the interface; you may hide this indicator for your own organizational purposes without affecting the underlying provenance information.
• Story Bible Analysis and Codex Lens. Entries suggested by AI analysis are labeled within the Review Queue while pending your review. Once you approve an entry into your World Codex, it is treated as part of Your Content under Section 6.4 and Section 4, and is no longer labeled as AI-generated.
• Scribe's Counsel. Suggestions are labeled within the suggestion panel where they are displayed. If you incorporate a suggestion into your manuscript, the resulting text is Your Content and is not separately labeled.

If you export or share AI-generated content (particularly Image Lab images) outside the Service, the embedded provenance information described above travels with the file. Any additional disclosure obligations that apply to you in your jurisdiction when sharing such content remain your responsibility.

6.3 No Warranty on AI Output

AI output is probabilistic, not deterministic — the same input may produce different output on different occasions, and output may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or factually wrong (including "hallucinations"). We make no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, originality, or fitness for any purpose of AI-generated output. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and independently verifying any AI output before relying on it, publishing it, or using it for any legal, financial, medical, or commercial purpose.

6.4 Ownership of AI-Assisted Output

• Output generated by analyzing Your Content — extracted character profiles, lore summaries, continuity suggestions, and similar derivative analysis of your own manuscript — is treated as part of Your Content and owned by you under the same terms as Section 4.
• Images generated by Image Lab based on your prompts are made available to you for use within and export from the Service, for your personal and commercial use in connection with your work.
• We do not claim ownership of AI-generated output. The underlying AI models, and any improvements made to them by their providers, remain the property of those providers and are not transferred to you or to Skedio Artemis.

6.5 Third-Party AI Processing

When you use an AI feature, the relevant portion of Your Content (e.g., manuscript text submitted for analysis, or prompts and style selections submitted to Image Lab) is transmitted to our third-party AI providers — currently Anthropic (for text analysis) and OpenAI (for image generation) — solely to generate the requested output. These providers process this data under their own terms of service and privacy policies, in addition to this Privacy Policy. See Privacy Policy Section 11 for details on how these providers handle data submitted via their APIs, including their stated model-training policies.

6.6 AI-Specific Acceptable Use

In addition to Section 5, when using AI features you agree not to:

• Generate content that is illegal, that depicts or sexualizes minors in any way, or that constitutes non-consensual intimate imagery of any real person
• Use AI-generated output to impersonate a real person without their consent
• Use AI features to make automated decisions about real individuals in contexts such as employment, credit, housing, healthcare, or legal eligibility
• Attempt to extract, reverse-engineer, or determine the underlying weights, training data, or architecture of any AI model accessed through the Service

We may suspend access to AI features, or your account, for violations of this section without the notice period described in Section 8.2.

6.7 Limitation of Liability for AI Output

In addition to Section 11 (Limitation of Liability), our total liability arising from or related to AI-generated output — including claims based on inaccuracy, third-party IP infringement allegedly arising from AI output, or your reliance on AI-generated content — shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We expressly exclude liability for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from AI output, including damages resulting from model "hallucinations," inaccuracies, or behavioral drift over time.

The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, and content (excluding Your Content and AI-generated output addressed in Section 6), is owned by Skedio Artemis and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our written permission.

8.1 By You. You may cancel your account at any time through account settings or by contacting support@nornveil.com.

8.2 By Us. We may suspend or terminate your account for violation of these Terms, non-payment, or any reason with 30 days' notice. We may terminate immediately for serious violations, including violations of Section 6.6.

8.3 Effect. Upon termination, your access to the Service ends. You may export Your Content before termination. We will delete Your Content within 30 days of account closure, except as required by law.

You have the right to request deletion of your account and all associated data. To submit a deletion request, email privacy@nornveil.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days. Some data may be retained longer if required by law or legitimate business purposes (e.g., billing records).

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES WITH EQUAL FORCE TO AI-GENERATED OUTPUT DESCRIBED IN SECTION 6.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SKEDIO ARTEMIS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF CONTENT, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. SECTION 6.7 PROVIDES ADDITIONAL, NOT ALTERNATIVE, LIMITS SPECIFIC TO AI OUTPUT.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Skedio Artemis, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a notice to dmca@nornveil.com including: (1) identification of the copyrighted work, (2) identification of the infringing material, (3) your contact information, (4) a statement of good faith belief, and (5) a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury.

Nornveil is operated from the United States and is available to users worldwide on a best-efforts basis. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws applicable to you. Our Privacy Policy describes additional rights available to users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, California, and other jurisdictions with comprehensive data protection laws (see Privacy Policy Sections 5 and 7).

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. For disputes not subject to arbitration under Section 16 (including disputes by users who opt out, EEA/UK/Switzerland users, and small claims matters), the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the courts of Rockwall County, Texas.

16.1 Informal Resolution. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at legal@nornveil.com and give us 30 days to attempt informal resolution. Most concerns can be resolved this way.

16.2 Binding Arbitration. If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service — including questions of arbitrability — shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as modified here. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. Either party may seek relief in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction without first completing the informal resolution step.

16.3 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND SKEDIO ARTEMIS EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

16.4 Arbitration Costs. Filing fees are governed by the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. We will pay AAA filing fees for claims under $10,000 unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees except where applicable law requires otherwise.

16.5 EEA, UK, and Switzerland Users. If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Sections 16.2 and 16.3 do not apply to you. Disputes shall instead be resolved in the courts of your country of residence, and you may bring claims before your local consumer protection authorities. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under mandatory local law.

16.6 Opt-Out. You may opt out of binding arbitration by emailing legal@nornveil.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your account email. New users: opt out within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Existing users (accounts created before this section's effective date): opt out within 30 days of receiving email notice of this amendment. If you opt out, disputes shall be resolved under Section 15 (Governing Law).

We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify you by email or in-app notice at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
