Terms of Service

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using WhatsGen ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Yap Studios ("we," "us," or "our").

• You must be at least 17 years old to use WhatsGen. This minimum age aligns with the App Store age rating and reflects that the App discusses dating, relationships, and other mature social scenarios. If you are under 17, you must not download, access, or use the App
• By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are at least 17 years old, are not prohibited from using the App under any applicable law, and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms
• If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App

WhatsGen is an AI-powered conversation practice application designed to help users develop and refine their texting and social communication skills in a low-pressure, judgment-free environment.

Features

• AI Persona Conversations — Practice texting with AI-generated personas across four modes: Social, Dating/Rizz, Professional, and Language Practice
• Curated Personas — Access to a catalog of 45+ AI personas with distinct personalities, communication styles, and behavioral patterns
• Custom Personas — Create or customize AI personas based on your specific practice scenarios
• Voice Input— Dictate messages using on-device speech-to-text. Voice-to-text is processed entirely on your iPhone using Apple's Speech Recognition framework; audio never leaves your device, and only the transcribed text you choose to send is transmitted to our backend.

Important Disclaimers

WhatsGen is designed for practice and entertainment purposes only. The App is not a substitute for:

• Professional therapy, counseling, or mental health services
• Legal, medical, financial, or relationship advice
• Real human relationships or social connections

You should not rely on AI-generated responses for real-world decisions. If you need professional help, please consult a qualified professional.

To use WhatsGen, you must create an account or continue as a guest.

• Authentication — You may sign in with Apple, sign in with Google, or continue as a guest with limited functionality
• Account accuracy — You are responsible for the accuracy of the information associated with your account
• Account security — You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access
• One account per person — Creating multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits, bans, or free tier restrictions is prohibited

You agree to use WhatsGen only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Generate harmful content — Attempt to make AI personas generate content that promotes violence, hatred, discrimination, harassment, self-harm, or illegal activities
• Exploit AI systems — Attempt to bypass persona safety boundaries, extract system prompts, use prompt injection techniques, or manipulate AI personas into generating harmful, misleading, or inappropriate content
• Engage in illegal activity — Use the App to plan, facilitate, or discuss illegal activities, including but not limited to fraud, stalking, or harassment
• Harass or impersonate — Use conversations or persona features to harass, threaten, or impersonate real individuals
• Automate access — Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to access the App, send messages, or extract data
• Reverse engineer — Decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, its AI systems, or persona system prompts
• Circumvent restrictions — Bypass usage limits, paywalls, subscription requirements, or account restrictions through any means, including creating multiple accounts
• Redistribute content — Commercially exploit, sublicense, or redistribute AI-generated responses outside the App without authorization

Violation of this policy may result in immediate account suspension or permanent termination without notice or refund.

WhatsGen uses artificial intelligence to generate all persona responses. Chat replies are generated on-device using Apple Foundation Models and MLX-quantized Qwen3 models that never transmit your chat messages off your phone. Optional features (conversation reviews, custom persona generation, persona tweaks) use DeepInfra-hosted Qwen (Qwen3-Next-80B) — this is disclosed in our privacy policy. By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that:

• AI, not human — All persona responses are generated by artificial intelligence, not real humans. Personas are entirely fictional characters created for communication practice
• No professional advice — AI-generated responses do not constitute professional advice of any kind. This includes but is not limited to psychological, legal, medical, financial, relationship, or career advice
• No accuracy guarantee — AI responses may contain factual inaccuracies, inconsistencies, outdated information, or errors. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated content
• Practice purposes only — The App is designed to help you practice communication skills. Results may not directly translate to real-world interactions with real people
• Content variability — AI personas may occasionally produce unexpected, off-character, or repetitive responses. We continuously work to improve quality but cannot guarantee perfect consistency
• No endorsement — Opinions, suggestions, or viewpoints expressed by AI personas do not reflect the views of Yap Studios and should not be attributed to us

Free Tier

• WhatsGen offers a free tier limited to 25 messages per day, access to a limited selection of AI personas, and a limited number of custom personas
• Free tier message limits reset daily at 00:00 UTC
• Free tier limits are subject to change with reasonable notice

WhatsGen Pro Subscription

• WhatsGen Pro unlocks all AI personas, expanded daily message allowance, and expanded custom persona creation
• Pro daily allowance: up to 500 messages per day under our fair-use policy. This limit exists to protect service quality for all subscribers and to bound abuse from compromised accounts. Daily allowance resets at 00:00 UTC. We may adjust the allowance with reasonable notice.
• Monthly plan: $9.99 USD per month
• Annual plan: $69.99 USD per year (equivalent to $5.83/month, approximately 40% off the monthly plan)

Free Trial

• New subscribers may be eligible for a 3-day free trial of WhatsGen Pro
• The free trial provides full access to all Pro features during the trial period
• If you do not cancel before the free trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the selected plan price
• Free trials are limited to one per Apple ID per 12-month period. Apple enforces this restriction at the App Store level — once you redeem a free trial, you will not be eligible for another trial of this subscription on the same Apple ID until the eligibility window resets. WhatsGen has no ability to grant additional trials.

Service Availability & Cost Limits

• Chat is on-device. WhatsGen chat replies are generated entirely on your iPhone using Apple Foundation Models and MLX-quantized Qwen3 models. Chat functionality is unaffected by cloud provider outages or global cost ceilings.
• Global daily cost ceiling (analysis features). Optional cloud-analysis features (conversation reviews, custom persona generation, persona tweaks) operate under a global daily cloud-AI budget. If aggregate cloud usage across all users exceeds this ceiling on a given day, these analysis features may be temporarily paused for the remainder of that UTC day. Service typically resumes at 00:00 UTC the following day. Your chat feature continues to work normally.
• Service interruptions.Like any internet-dependent service, WhatsGen may experience downtime due to provider outages, scheduled maintenance, model updates, or third-party AI provider changes. Brief or transient interruptions do not entitle subscribers to refunds; see "Refunds & Cancellation" below for the refund policy.
• Third-party AI dependencies. WhatsGen uses DeepInfra for optional analysis features only (conversation reviews + custom persona generation + persona tweaks). Chat generation and voice transcription both happen entirely on your iPhone and do not depend on any third-party provider. Service degradation of the cloud analysis provider may affect debrief or custom-persona-creation features but does not affect chat.
• Voice input.Voice-to-text is processed entirely on your iPhone via Apple's Speech Recognition framework. No audio is uploaded to our servers, and no server-side transcription or duration caps apply. Only the transcribed text you choose to send is transmitted to our backend, where it counts toward the normal daily message limits described above.
• Initiative messages are a Pro feature. AI-initiated outbound messages from your AI personas are available only to Pro subscribers. Free-tier users receive responses only when they send a message first.

Payment & Auto-Renewal

• Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase
• Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the cost of the selected plan
• Pricing is in USD and may vary by region based on Apple's currency conversion. Prices are subject to change with 30 days' notice to existing subscribers

Managing Your Subscription

• You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Account Settings on your device after purchase (Apple Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → WhatsGen)
• Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain Pro access until then
• No partial refunds are provided for unused subscription time

Refunds & Cancellation

ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL. WhatsGen does not issue, process, or reimburse refunds under any circumstances.

• All WhatsGen subscriptions are sold and billed exclusively through Apple's App Store under Apple's standard terms. Yap Studios never receives, processes, or stores your payment information
• If you believe you are entitled to a refund, you must request it directly from Apple using reportaproblem.apple.com ("Report a Problem"). Apple, in its sole discretion, decides whether to grant refunds and how much. Yap Studios has no ability to influence, appeal, or expedite that decision
• You expressly waive any right to dispute charges, initiate chargebacks, or file payment disputes against Yap Studios with your card issuer or bank, except to the extent such waiver is prohibited by applicable law. Initiating a chargeback in violation of this clause constitutes a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination without refund
• Cancelling your subscription stops future charges but does not trigger a refund for the current billing period. You retain Pro access until the end of the period you have already paid for
• Service degradation, downtime, AI-provider outages, global cost-cap events, model changes, or similar interruptions do not entitle you to a refund, pro-rata credit, or service extension. The App is licensed "as is" and "as available"

Our Intellectual Property

• The WhatsGen application, including its design, source code, AI persona characters, system prompts, branding, and all associated materials, is the intellectual property of Yap Studios and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws
• The AI persona characters — including their names, personalities, communication styles, and system prompts — are proprietary and may not be copied, reproduced, or used outside of WhatsGen
• The WhatsGen name, logo, and visual identity are trademarks of Yap Studios

Your Content

• You retain ownership of the original messages you compose and send within WhatsGen
• AI-generated responses are not exclusively owned by any party — similar responses may be independently generated for other users
• By using WhatsGen, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process your messages solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service

The App is licensed, not sold, to you for use strictly in accordance with these Terms, subject to the following:

• We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple App Store Terms of Service
• This license does not allow you to use the App on any device that you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make the App available to third parties

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL YAP STUDIOS, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, REPUTATION, RELATIONSHIPS, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR MENTAL ANGUISH, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, WHATSGEN — EVEN IF YAP STUDIOS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

YAP STUDIOS' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF WHATSGEN, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO YAP STUDIOS FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

This cap applies regardless of the number of claims and survives termination of these Terms. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full. In such jurisdictions, Yap Studios' liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.
