TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: May 4, 2026
Welcome to FableHatch. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and FableHatch (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our website, applications, or services (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.
1. Who can use FableHatch
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. If we reasonably believe an account is being used by someone underage, we may suspend it.
2. Your account
You are responsible for what happens under your account, including keeping your password safe. Notify us immediately if you think your account has been accessed without your permission. One person per account; characters and pen-names are welcome and expected.
3. Your content
You keep ownership of the stories, characters, posts, comments, messages, images, and other material you submit (your “Content”). By posting Content to the Service, you grant FableHatch a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (only to the extent technically necessary, e.g. resizing or transcoding), publish, and display your Content for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service. This license ends when you delete the Content, except for backups and content others have already shared in good faith.
You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant the license above, and that your Content does not infringe anyone else’s rights or violate any law.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to use FableHatch to:
- Harass, threaten, or harm other people.
- Post hate speech, incitement to violence, or content that targets people based on identity.
- Post sexually explicit content involving minors. Period.
- Impersonate other real people or organizations.
- Spam, scrape, or otherwise abuse the platform.
- Distribute malware, exploit security vulnerabilities, or attempt to disrupt the Service.
- Violate intellectual property rights or applicable law.
See our Community Guidelines for the long version.
5. Moderation
We may, at our discretion, remove Content, restrict accounts, or terminate the Service for any user we believe has violated these Terms or our Community Guidelines. We try to be fair and consistent, but we are not obligated to keep any Content online.
6. Reporting and DMCA
If you see something that violates these Terms, please use the in-product report flow. For copyright concerns under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, send a notice to legal@fablehatch.com including the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).
7. Termination
You may delete your account at any time from your settings. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or create risk for other users or the Service. On termination, your license to FableHatch under Section 3 survives only to the extent necessary for content others have already shared.
8. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is.” We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding availability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not endorse Content posted by users.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, FableHatch is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of these Terms is limited to the greater of $100 USD or the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.
11. Changes
We may update these Terms over time. Material changes will be announced in-product or by email. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the new Terms.
