TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Effective date: 23 October 2026

1. Who we are and what these Terms cover

Taboo AI ("we", "us", "our") is run by Li Yuxuan from Singapore. These Terms are a contract between you and us. They cover taboo-ai.com, the installed web app, and everything you can do with them (together, the "Service").

By using the Service you agree to these Terms, to our Privacy Policy and to our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who can use the Service

You must be 18 or older. Classes, clubs and teams may use the Service only if every member is an adult. We do not offer the Service to secondary schools.

3. Your account

• You sign in with a Google account. Keep that account secure. You are responsible for what happens under your Taboo AI account.
• You can play one word as a guest before signing in. A guest account holds only your game data and is deleted after 30 days without activity unless you sign in.
• One person, one account. Do not create extra accounts to get another free trial or to get around a limit or a ban.
• We can refuse, suspend or close accounts that break these Terms.

4. Free plan and Plus

The core game is free and stays free. The free plan includes unlimited games, the daily challenge, streaks, Words and practice, saving words, one coach review per day, three AI-generated topics per week, and hosting multiplayer rooms of up to 8 players.

Plus is an optional paid subscription. It adds a coach review on every game, scheduled practice for your weak words, a monthly report, unlimited AI-generated topics within fair use, hosting rooms of up to 30 players, and your own word lists for rooms.

We may change what each plan includes. If we remove something from Plus, we email subscribers at least 30 days before the change.

5. Plus subscriptions

Free trial

• Every account can try Plus free for 14 days, once. You do not enter a card to start the trial.
• The trial ends on its own. Nothing is charged automatically. At the end you can choose a plan or go back to the free plan.

Plans and prices

• Plus costs USD 4.99 per month or USD 34.99 per year. Where we price in your local currency, the checkout page shows that price. Taxes are added where the law requires it.
• We may offer promotional prices. The price shown at checkout applies for the period stated there.
• Payments are handled by Stripe. Stripe's terms apply to the payment itself.

Automatic renewal

• Plus renews automatically at the end of each monthly or yearly period, at the price in force at that time, until you cancel.
• Before you pay we show you the price, the period, the fact that it renews, and how to cancel. The confirmation email repeats this.

Price changes

• If we raise the price, we email you at least 30 days before. The new price applies from your next renewal. If you do not agree, cancel before that renewal.

Cancelling

• You can cancel at any time in Settings. Plus stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, then you go back to the free plan. We do not refund the rest of the period, except as described under Refunds.

Refunds

• If you are not happy with Plus, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we refund it in full.
• Renewal payments are refunded only for billing errors, for example if you were charged twice, charged after you cancelled, or charged the wrong amount.
• If you live in the EU or the UK, your 14-day right to withdraw from the purchase is covered by this refund.
• Nothing here limits your rights under the consumer law of the place where you live.

Failed payments

• If a renewal payment fails, we retry for up to 2 weeks and let you know. If it still fails, Plus ends and you go back to the free plan. You keep your data.

Fair use

• Plus includes unlimited AI-generated topics up to 50 per day. Beyond that we may slow or pause topic generation for the rest of the day.

6. Rooms and conduct

When you play with others in a room:

• Your display name and your guesses must not be offensive, hateful, sexual, threatening or harassing, and must not impersonate anyone.
• Do not put personal data in a display name or a guess: not your own, not anyone else's.
• Hosts choose who to invite and are responsible for the people they invite.
• We can change or remove display names, end rooms and ban players who break these rules, without notice.

To report a player, email support@taboo-ai.com with the room code and what happened.

7. What you must not do

• Break the law or help anyone else break it.
• Copy, scrape or collect content or data from the Service with automated tools.
• Reverse engineer the Service or try to get around its security, limits or bans.
• Use AI replies from the Service to build a competing AI system.
• Interfere with the Service or put an unfair load on it.
• Present AI-generated replies as written by a person where that would mislead someone or break a law.

8. AI-generated replies

The Service uses AI models to generate replies, taboo words, topics and coach reviews. AI output can be wrong, incomplete or odd. It is a game and a learning aid, not advice. The coach score is produced automatically and only helps you learn; it has no legal or similar effect on you. We do not promise that AI output is accurate, and similar output may be shown to other players.

9. Your content and your topics

You own the clues, guesses, word lists and topics you create. You give us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, process, show and reproduce them as needed to run and improve the Service. Topics you contribute that we publish become part of the game for all players and may stay in the game after you delete your account, without your name.

Do not submit content you have no right to share.

10. Our content

The Service, its software, design, name and logo belong to us or our licensors. You may not copy, modify, sell or distribute any part of the Service without our written permission.

11. Third-party services

The Service links to and uses third-party services such as Google, Stripe, Substack and Discord. Their terms and privacy policies apply to what you do with them. We are not responsible for them.

12. Ending your account or the Service

• You can delete your account at any time in your profile. If you have Plus, deleting your account cancels it first.
• We can suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, if we suspect abuse, or if the law requires it. If we close your account for breaking these Terms, we do not refund any payment.
• If we shut down Plus or the Service, we refund the unused part of any period you have paid for.

Sections 8 to 16 continue to apply after your account ends.

13. No warranty

We provide the Service "as is". We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that AI output will be accurate. To the extent the law allows, we exclude all warranties, express or implied.

14. Limit on our liability

To the extent the law allows:

• We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits or lost data.
• Our total liability to you for all claims under these Terms is limited to the greater of USD 100 and the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded by law, such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

15. Your responsibility to us

If someone brings a claim against us because of your content, your use of the Service or your breach of these Terms or the law, you will cover the costs and damages that result.

16. Consumer rights, law and disputes

Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have under the consumer protection law of the place where you live.

These Terms are governed by the law of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore have jurisdiction. If you live in a country whose law gives you the right to bring a claim in your own courts under your own law, you keep that right.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If a change matters to you, for example to prices, refunds or what Plus includes, we email signed-in players at least 30 days before it takes effect and show a notice in the app. Small changes, such as fixing wording, take effect when we publish them. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, the new Terms apply. Previous versions stay available at the bottom of this page.
