📋 Legal Stuff
The boring legal documents that nobody reads but everyone should. We'll try to make it less painful.
Terms of Service
Last updated: June 1, 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using Sarcastibot ("the Service"), you agree to be roasted by an AI and not take it personally. If you can't handle sarcasm, this probably isn't the service for you. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Sarcastibot.
2. Description of Service
Sarcastibot provides AI-powered sarcastic responses in exchange for virtual currency (Sarcasticoins). We make no promises about the quality of your life choices that led you here, but we do promise to deliver premium snark.
3. User Conduct & Content Policy
Don't be a jerk to our bot. Ironically, while we're sarcastic to you, we expect basic human decency in return. Prohibited activities include:
- Hate speech - We're sarcastic, not hateful
- Illegal content - Keep it legal, folks
- Attempts to break our service - We have feelings too (sort of)
- Spam or abuse - Quality over quantity
- Impersonation - Be yourself, even if that's disappointing
4. Safety Features & Crisis Intervention
We take user safety seriously. If you mention suicide, self-harm, or illegal activities, our service will provide crisis resources or safety warnings instead of sarcastic responses. This is for everyone's protection and is non-negotiable.
5. Payment Terms & Sarcasticoins
- Virtual Currency: Sarcasticoins are virtual currency with no real-world value (shocking, we know)
- All Sales Final: All purchases are final because we're a small operation, not Amazon
- Pricing: Prices may change because inflation affects even digital sarcasm
- Refunds: No refunds unless required by law or we seriously messed up
- Subscription Cancellation: You can cancel subscriptions anytime. We'll be sad but understanding.
6. Intellectual Property
The sarcastic responses generated are owned by us. Feel free to screenshot and share them though - we love the free marketing. However:
- You cannot resell our responses commercially
- You cannot claim our AI-generated content as your own original work
- Our branding, logo, and service name are protected trademarks
7. Service Availability & Modifications
We strive for 99.9% uptime, but sometimes things break. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the service with reasonable notice. Your Sarcasticoins won't disappear if we make changes, but features might evolve.
8. Age Requirements
You must be at least 13 years old to use this service. If you're under 18, make sure your parents are okay with you getting roasted by an AI. We're not responsible for any existential crises this may cause.
9. Limitation of Liability
We're not responsible if our sarcasm hurts your feelings, makes you question your life choices, or inspires you to make better decisions. That's kind of the point. Our total liability is limited to the amount you've paid us in the last 12 months.
10. Dispute Resolution
If we have a disagreement, let's try to work it out like adults. Disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in [Your State/Country]. Class action lawsuits are prohibited because we can't afford them.
11. Accessibility Commitment
We're committed to making our service accessible to everyone. If you encounter accessibility barriers, contact us at accessibility@sarcastibot.ai and we'll fix it faster than you can say "screen reader."
12. Termination
We can terminate your access if you violate these terms. You can terminate your access by simply... not using the service. Revolutionary concept. Upon termination, these terms still apply to past use.
13. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms occasionally. We'll notify you of significant changes because we're considerate like that. Continued use means you accept the changes.
14. Contact Information
Questions about these terms? Email us at legal@sarcastibot.ai. We promise to respond in our least sarcastic voice.
