GG Medium — Terms of Service

_Last updated: October 29, 2026_

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and GG Medium, a sole proprietorship operated by Syfy Jones-Harrell, of Durham, North Carolina ("GG Medium," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the interactive-story platform at ggmedium.com and any related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, subscribing, publishing content, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Contact: mark@ggmedium.com

1. The Service

GG Medium is a platform for interactive stories. Stories are generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence as you participate: you read a scene, choose what happens next (or type your own action), and the story responds. The Service is entertainment software. All story content is fictional.

We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, as further described in Section 12.

2. Eligibility and accounts

2.1 Age. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Portions of the Service are restricted to adults, as set out in Section 3.

2.2 Account information. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when you register, and to keep it accurate and current. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it.

2.3 Credentials. You are responsible for safeguarding your password. Passwords are stored only as cryptographic hashes; we never store your plain-text password. Notify us immediately at mark@ggmedium.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

2.4 Account deletion. You may delete your account at any time through the in-app account deletion option or by emailing mark@ggmedium.com. Deletion terminates your subscription access and results in deletion of your saved stories and personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.

3. The two paths: Angel and Demon; the 18+ representation

The Service offers two play paths:

3.1 Binding representation. The Demon path is restricted to users who are 18 years of age or older. By selecting, entering, or using the Demon path, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. This representation is a material term of these Terms. If you are not 18 or older, you must not access the Demon path, and any access by a minor is unauthorized and a violation of these Terms.

3.2 One rule applies on every path, without exception — see Section 5.1.

4. Subscriptions and billing

4.1 Price and renewal. The GG Medium Subscription costs $10.00 per month. Subscriptions renew automatically on a monthly basis through our payment processor, Stripe, and will continue to renew until cancelled.

4.2 Payment processing. All payments are processed by Stripe. Your card details are provided directly to Stripe and never touch GG Medium's servers. You authorize Stripe to charge your payment method for the subscription amount on each renewal date.

4.3 Cancellation. You may cancel at any time. Cancellation stops future billing and takes effect at the end of the then-current paid period; your access continues until that date.

4.4 Refunds. Except where required by applicable law, we do not provide refunds for partial months, unused time, or periods elapsed before cancellation.

4.5 Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback or payment reversal, we may immediately suspend or terminate your account and access, in addition to any other rights we may have.

4.6 Price changes. We may change subscription prices. We will give subscribers at least 30 days' notice before a price change applies to them; the new price will apply starting with the first billing cycle after the notice period. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

5. Acceptable use

5.1 The hard rule — immediate termination, no cure period

You must not create, request, solicit, attempt to create, or facilitate sexual content involving minors — in any form, on any path, under any framing, without exception. This prohibition covers content framed as backstory, memory, flashback, fiction-within-fiction, hypothetical, or in any coded, euphemistic, misspelled, or otherwise evasive form intended to circumvent the platform's safeguards. Such content is blocked and refused everywhere on the Service.

A violation of this Section 5.1 is a material breach of these Terms and grounds for immediate termination of your account, without notice and without any cure period, and without a refund of any amounts paid. Where required or permitted by law, violations may be reported to the appropriate authorities.

5.2 Other prohibited conduct

You further agree not to:

5.3 Enforcement

We may investigate violations and may suspend or terminate accounts as provided in Section 13. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 GG Medium's property. The Service — including the platform, the story engine, generation systems and prompts, software, design, trademarks, logos, the "GG Medium" name and marks, and all other materials provided by GG Medium — is and remains the exclusive property of GG Medium and is protected by intellectual-property and other laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights in or to the Service are granted to you, and no ownership of any GG Medium property transfers to you under any circumstance, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

6.2 Platform-generated story content. Story text generated by the Service in response to your choices during ordinary play is provided to you for your personal, non-commercial enjoyment within the Service, subject to these Terms. GG Medium retains all rights it holds in the engine and systems that generate such content.

7. User content and creator stories

7.1 Write-ins. The actions you type into a story ("write-ins") are content you submit. We process write-ins solely to generate your story experience, as described in the Privacy Policy.

7.2 Creators own their stories. If you create and publish a story on the Service (a "Creator Story"), you retain ownership of your story. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your Creator Story to GG Medium.

7.3 Limited license to GG Medium. By publishing a Creator Story on the Service, you grant GG Medium a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, feature, and promote your Creator Story, solely in connection with operating, providing, and promoting the Service. This license is a license only; it is not, and shall not be construed as, an assignment or transfer of ownership. The license ends when you remove your Creator Story from the Service or delete your account, except that (a) copies already distributed to users while the story was published (including content incorporated into readers' saved sessions) may be retained as needed to honor those users' access, and (b) archival copies may be retained as required by law or for legitimate record-keeping.

7.4 Creator revenue.

7.5 Export and departure. Creators may export their work and leave the platform at any time. Departure ends the Section 7.3 license prospectively, subject to the limited retention described in that section.

7.6 Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for all content you submit, type, upload, or publish through the Service. By submitting content, you represent and warrant that (a) you own it or have all rights necessary to submit it and to grant the licenses in this Section, (b) it does not infringe or violate any person's rights, and (c) it complies with these Terms and applicable law.

8. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GG Medium and its operator from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) content you submit, type, upload, or publish through the Service; (b) your conduct on or in connection with the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) any claim that your content infringes or violates the intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person.

9. Copyright policy (DMCA)

9.1 Notice and takedown. GG Medium respects the intellectual-property rights of others and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated contact:

DMCA Contact — mark@ggmedium.com

Your notice should include: (a) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (b) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location on the Service; (c) your name and contact information; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf, together with your physical or electronic signature.

9.2 Action on notice. Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, and we will notify the user who posted it.

9.3 Counter-notification. If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the same contact containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). We may restore the material in accordance with the DMCA following receipt of a valid counter-notification.

9.4 Repeat-infringer policy. It is GG Medium's policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

10. AI content disclaimer; disclaimer of warranties

10.1 Generated fiction. Stories on GG Medium are generated fiction. Characters, events, and places are invented by the system as you play, and any resemblance to real persons or events is coincidental.

10.2 Not advice. Generated content may be inaccurate, strange, repetitive, or inconsistent. It is not advice of any kind — medical, legal, financial, or otherwise — and is not a factual record of anything. Do not rely on story content for any decision.

10.3 "AS IS." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS, AND GG MEDIUM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. GG Medium does not warrant that generated content will meet your expectations or be accurate, complete, or consistent.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

11.1 Excluded damages. IN NO EVENT WILL GG MEDIUM OR ITS OPERATOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT GG MEDIUM WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

11.2 Cap. GG MEDIUM'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO GG MEDIUM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

11.3 Essential purpose. The limitations in this Section apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

12. Service changes, interruptions, and data

12.1 Changes and availability. We operate GG Medium as a small, growing service and will use reasonable efforts to keep it available and reliable. However, we do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or continuously available. The Service may be modified, paused, or unavailable from time to time for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside our control, including interruptions of third-party services on which story generation depends.

12.2 Storage. We will use reasonable efforts to preserve your account and saved stories, but we do not guarantee permanent storage of any data, and we are not liable for the loss of saved stories or other data except as required by law. You are encouraged to export any creator work you wish to keep, as provided in Section 7.5.

13. Termination

13.1 By GG Medium. We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law, or as necessary to protect the Service, other users, or GG Medium. Violations of Section 5.1 result in immediate termination without a cure period, as stated there.

13.2 By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time as described in Section 2.4.

13.3 Effect of termination. On termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Amounts already paid are non-refundable except as required by law. Sections 6, 7.4 (as to amounts accrued before termination), 7.6, 8, 9 (as to notices already received), 10, 11, 14, and 15 survive termination.

14. Dispute resolution; governing law

14.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

14.2 Binding individual arbitration. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 14.3, ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, rather than in court. The arbitration will be conducted in Durham County, North Carolina (or remotely, at the arbitrator's discretion), under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, and the arbitrator's award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.3 Small-claims carve-out. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in Durham County, North Carolina, if the claim qualifies, instead of arbitration.

14.4 Class-action and jury-trial waiver. YOU AND GG MEDIUM EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING. Claims may be brought only in your individual capacity. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

14.5 Opt-out. You may opt out of this Section 14.2–14.4 arbitration agreement by emailing mark@ggmedium.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating that you wish to opt out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Durham County, North Carolina, to whose jurisdiction you consent.

15. General provisions

15.1 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

15.2 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and GG Medium regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and communications regarding the Service.

15.3 Assignment. GG Medium may assign these Terms and its rights and obligations under them, in whole or in part, at any time, including in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganization of the business. You may not assign these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them without GG Medium's prior written consent; any unauthorized assignment is void.

15.4 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or of our right to enforce it later.

15.5 Notices. We may provide notices to you by email to the address associated with your account or by posting within the Service. You may give notice to us at mark@ggmedium.com.

15.6 Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will make a reasonable effort to notify account holders by email or in the Service, and we will update the "last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, you must stop using the Service and may delete your account.
