Terms of Service

Last updated: July 16, 2026

TinyStage (our iOS, Android, and web apps), including functionally identical versions operated on the same backend (collectively, the “Service”), is operated by Luvu, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Luvu,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”), to our Privacy Policy, and to our Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy, each of which forms part of these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. The Service is intended for adults only and is not directed to minors. Age is self-reported during onboarding, and users who report being under 18 are blocked. By using the Service you represent that you are 18 or older and that the information you give us during onboarding is accurate.

2. Your account

You sign in using a third-party identity provider (such as Google). You are responsible for activity that happens under your account and for keeping your login credentials secure. Notify us at support@luvufit.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. How the Service works

The Service is a voice improv and roleplay game. You record short spoken performances in response to prompts, automated systems and other players may evaluate those performances, and you can earn in-app rewards such as coins, streaks, and rating points (“ELO”) based on the outcome. Data producers may be located in a number of countries, including the United States, Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the European Economic Area. Other players and automated systems rate and evaluate recordings, and other players may hear your recordings in order to rate them. Match results, quality scores, ratings, coin balances, streaks, and ELO are determined by us on the server and are final, and we do not currently offer a formal appeal process for those determinations.

4. Voice recordings and your content

“User Content” means the audio recordings, username, profile information, and other material you submit to the Service. “Contributor Data” means any personal information, biometric identifiers, or biometric data contained in or associated with your User Content, including voiceprints, vocal characteristics, your voice, image, and likeness. Ordinary service license: by submitting User Content, you grant Luvu a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to access, host, store, use, copy, reproduce, adapt, modify, process, analyze, transcribe, display, and perform your User Content and Contributor Data as reasonably necessary to provide, operate, secure, improve, and moderate the Service. This license is revocable as to future licensing or sale: if you delete your account or withdraw consent, we will stop including your Contributor Data in new datasets licensed or sold to AI Partners, but the license is irrevocable with respect to Contributor Data already included in a dataset that has been licensed or delivered to an AI Partner and as needed to calculate ratings, rewards, quality scores, coin balances, streaks, and ELO. This ordinary service license does not, by itself, authorize Luvu to license your voice recordings, voiceprints, vocal characteristics, likeness, or biometric data to AI Partners for model training, voice cloning, voice synthesis, Digital Replicas, or derivative or synthetic voices.

Voice, biometric, AI training, and Digital Replica license: if you affirmatively consent during onboarding or through another conspicuous consent flow, which requests separate consent for (1) model training, (2) synthetic voice and Digital Replica use, and (3) AI Partner licensing or sale, as described in our Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy, you grant Luvu, to the extent of the consents you give, a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to collect, store, process, analyze, label, transcribe, create derived data from, commercialize, license, sell, and otherwise make available your User Content and Contributor Data to AI research labs and similar development partners (“AI Partners”). The materials Luvu may license or sell include voice recordings and derived voice data, including voiceprints and derived acoustic features where applicable, self-reported age and gender, rough or city-level location, optional labels, metadata, user-generated content and input data, and inferences. AI Partners may use the licensed or sold materials to train, evaluate, and develop AI models and systems, including speech recognition, text-to-speech, voice cloning, voice synthesis, Digital Replicas, derivative voices, synthetic voices, and cloned voice systems. Luvu retains ownership of the datasets, compilations, annotations, derived data, and other materials it creates, and AI Partners receive licenses or other rights described in their agreements with Luvu, not ownership, except as expressly stated in a separate agreement between Luvu and that AI Partner.

The rights you grant include the right to create synthetic, digital, or artificial representations derived from your User Content or Contributor Data (“Digital Replicas”), and to use, reproduce, display, distribute, and license Digital Replicas solely for the specific AI-development uses described above. Luvu owns the compiled datasets, models, and outputs it creates. This Section does not assign to Luvu your underlying rights in your own voice, likeness, or identity, and you do not waive your rights of publicity except to the limited extent necessary to permit the uses you specifically consent to under these Terms. The voice, biometric, AI training, and Digital Replica license is revocable for future collection, licensing, sale, or transfer where we can reasonably do so: if you delete your account, withdraw the relevant consent, or submit a deletion request as described in the Privacy Policy, we will stop collecting your User Content and Contributor Data for those uses and stop including it in new datasets licensed, sold, or transferred to AI Partners. The license is irrevocable only for User Content and Contributor Data already licensed, sold, transferred, or otherwise made available to an AI Partner before we process your deletion or withdrawal request, and for downstream model weights, embeddings, features, synthetic outputs, derivative data, aggregate statistics, or other model effects that have already been incorporated into trained models or systems or cannot reasonably be identified, isolated, or extracted from them.

Our handling of your voice recordings, including any biometric identifiers and biometric information they may contain, our retention and destruction schedule, and how we work with research and AI development partners, is described in detail in the Privacy Policy and in our Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy, each of which forms part of these Terms. As described in that policy, we permanently destroy biometric identifiers and biometric information on the earliest of (a) satisfaction of the purpose for which they were collected, (b) three years after your last interaction with us, or (c) any earlier date required by law or by a valid deletion or withdrawal-of-consent request, subject to the post-licensing and post-sale limits described in these Terms and that policy. Consent to the voice, biometric, AI training, synthetic voice, and Digital Replica uses described in this Section is required to submit voice contributions, participate in contribution-based game modes, and earn or cash out coins. If the Service supports passive account access or non-contribution features without those uses, that consent is not required solely for that passive use.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Record or upload audio of anyone who has not consented to being recorded, or content you do not have the right to share;
• Submit content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit involving minors, threatening, or that infringes others’ rights;
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or age;
• Cheat, manipulate ratings, use bots or automated scripts, or otherwise interfere with the integrity of matches, ELO, or rewards;
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its data;
• Use the Service to build a competing product or to train models outside of the Service;
• Use the Service for money transmission, remittance, stored value, payments to third parties, user-to-user transfers, or any other financial services activity.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

6. Coins, rewards, and virtual items

Coins, ELO, streaks, and other in-app items are a limited, revocable license to use a feature of the Service. Coins are compensation or rewards for eligible voice-data contributions and related quality, integrity, and compliance criteria that we establish. You do not pay to enter the coin reward flow, and coins are not chance-based prizes, bets, stakes, jackpots, winnings, lottery entries, sweepstakes entries, or gambling rewards. Coins have no cash value on their own, are not your property, and are not money, legal tender, stored value, a deposit account, a wallet balance, cryptocurrency, securities, payment instruments, or any other financial product. Coins cannot be purchased, sold, assigned, transferred, traded, exchanged between users, or redeemed for cash except where we expressly offer a cash-out feature and only subject to the rules, eligibility checks, and limits we publish for that feature. Where cash-out is available, coins are redeemable at 1,000 coins = USD $1.00, subject to a minimum cash-out amount we show in the app (currently between USD $3.00 and USD $5.00), through supported payout methods such as PayPal, Venmo, or gift cards. Cash-out is available only if we expressly offer it and only through approved payout providers, which may include PayPal, Venmo, gift cards, or other providers we support. We may condition earning, holding, and cashing out coins on anti-fraud, tax, sanctions, age, identity, region, language, and other eligibility and compliance checks. We may adjust, withhold, expire, revoke, suspend, or cancel coins, virtual items, and payouts to correct errors, prevent fraud or abuse, address automated or AI-generated submissions, manipulation, policy violations, legal or compliance concerns, ineligible regions, or as otherwise reasonably necessary. We may disable coin earning or cash-out by region, language, feature, or user category. Any cash-out, payout, or earning feature is void where prohibited and subject to applicable law and identity and eligibility verification.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, logos, and prompts (excluding User Content), is owned by Luvu and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. These Terms do not transfer any of our intellectual property to you.

8. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time (see the Privacy Policy and our Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy for how to request deletion). If we receive and process your deletion request before your User Content or Contributor Data has been licensed or transferred to an AI Partner, we will delete or de-identify it as described in the Privacy Policy and our Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy and will not include it in new AI Partner datasets. If the relevant raw clips have already been licensed or transferred to an AI Partner, we will forward deletion requests to that AI Partner where required by applicable law or our agreement with that AI Partner, but extraction from trained models, model weights, embeddings, features, synthetic outputs, derivative data, or other downstream model effects may not be possible. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute terms) will survive.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that ratings, rewards, or results will meet your expectations.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Luvu and its officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or virtual items, arising from or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) USD $100.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Luvu from any claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that is not subject to arbitration, and you consent to venue there. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have that cannot be waived under the law of your place of residence.

Informal resolution. Before initiating any formal dispute, you and Luvu agree to attempt to resolve it informally by contacting us at support@luvufit.com with a written description of the dispute, the relief sought, and your contact information. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of that notice, either party may proceed as provided in this Section.

Jury trial waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Luvu each waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

13. State-specific limits on voice, likeness, and biometric uses

Illinois exclusion. Unless and until Luvu implements a separate Illinois biometric compliance program and obtains any legally required written releases, Luvu does not offer voice-contribution, coin-reward, cash-out, biometric collection or processing, or AI Partner licensing or sale features to Illinois residents or users located in Illinois, and users must not use a VPN, false location, or other workaround to access those features from Illinois.

Other state and local-law caveats. If you are located in California, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Japan, Mexico, or another jurisdiction with non-waivable rights governing voice, likeness, publicity, digital replicas, synthetic media, biometric identifiers, biometric information, biometric data, personal data, or consumer protection, these Terms apply only to the maximum extent permitted by that law. Nothing in these Terms limits any consent, notice, deletion, retention, compensation, revocation, disclosure, or other right that cannot lawfully be waived. Where required, Luvu may restrict, geofence, suspend, or condition voice contribution, AI Partner licensing, Digital Replica, synthetic voice, and coin-earning features on additional disclosures, consents, releases, verification, or compliance steps.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Service or by other reasonable means and, where required, ask for your renewed consent. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Data export

Where the Service stores User Content you have submitted, we will, upon your written request, make your User Content available to you for export in a standard, machine-readable format while your account is active and for thirty (30) days after termination, subject to any period during which legal holds or retention obligations apply, and subject to the biometric retention, destruction, and post-licensing and post-sale limits described in these Terms and our Biometric Data Retention and Destruction Policy. After that period, we may delete your User Content.

16. General

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or of any other provision.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Luvu may assign these Terms without your consent, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Any assignment in violation of this Section is void.

No third-party beneficiaries. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.

Relationship of the parties. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and Luvu.

Force majeure. Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform (other than payment obligations) caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disaster, pandemic, epidemic, war, labor disruption, cyberattack, internet or utility failure, or act of government.

Export controls. You may not use or export the Service in violation of U.S. export laws or the export laws of any other applicable jurisdiction. You represent that you are not located in, and are not a resident or national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.

Government end users. The Service is a “commercial item” as defined in 48 C.F.R. § 2.101. If you are a U.S. federal government end user, your rights are limited to those set forth in these Terms.
