Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

Using atomwords.com means you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the License. They form a binding contract between you and the individual Operator of AtomWords ("we"), based in mainland China, run as a personal project. This is the free-tier launch phase — no paid subscriptions yet. When they're introduced, these Terms will update and you'll be notified beforehand.

2. Eligibility

You must be 16 or older (or your jurisdiction's digital-consent age, whichever is higher).

3. The Service

AtomWords is an AI visual dictionary — curated atomic prompt words and sample media generated using third-party AI services. The free tier offers browsing, searching, copying prompts, and downloading watermarked sample media. All digital — no shipping.

4. Your account

You're responsible for your password and all activity under your account. Report unauthorized use to [email protected]. We may suspend or terminate accounts engaged in abuse. You may delete your account anytime from /settings.

5. What you may not do

• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract our prompts, commands, commentary, taxonomy, or media — for any purpose, including a competing dictionary or AI-model training.

• Resell, redistribute, or repackage our content (Gumroad, Etsy, Patreon, prompt marketplaces, your storefront, packs, etc.).

• Sell unaltered copies of our sample media as stock (Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Getty, Pond5). You may sell media you generated using our prompts.

• Reverse engineer, interfere with, or attack the Service (DoS, brute-force, credential stuffing).

• Generate or distribute unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, or deceptive content.

• Modify our prompts to add trademarks, brand names, or identifiable persons — you assume sole liability if you do.

We may investigate and act at our discretion — warning, suspension, termination, removal, or referral to law enforcement.

Fair use. Downloads are subject to reasonable per-account daily limits (shown in-app if you reach one, reset daily at 00:00 UTC) to keep the Service fast and prevent abuse. We may adjust limits or throttle / suspend accounts showing automated or abusive download patterns.

6. Ads and affiliate links

We may display native ads, sponsored content, and affiliate links, and may earn commission at no extra cost to you. We don't endorse or assume liability for third-party advertisers. External destinations are governed by their own terms.

7. Intellectual property

Our atomic words, commands, commentary, taxonomy, sample media, name, and logo are owned by us or licensed by upstream AI providers. Your use is governed by the License. Content you generate using our prompts belongs to you, subject to your AI service's terms. We claim no ownership of your outputs. Generative AI is probabilistic; despite our care, sample media may occasionally resemble copyrighted works — see §8.

8. Copyright

If content on AtomWords infringes a copyright or other IP right you own or are authorized to enforce, email [email protected] — we follow a DMCA-style notice-and-takedown process. Include: the work + the infringing URL; your contact info; a good-faith statement the use is unauthorized; a statement of accuracy and your authority, under penalty of perjury; your signature. We investigate promptly and remove valid claims. Counter-notices to the same address.

9. Disclaimer & liability cap

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind (merchantability, fitness, non-infringement, accuracy, uninterrupted operation). We don't warrant any prompt's accuracy, the outputs your usage produces in any AI service, or any upstream service's future behavior.

Liability cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total cumulative liability will not exceed USD 50. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, lost-profit, or lost-data damages. Where law forbids these limits, our liability is the minimum that law requires. You indemnify us against claims from your violation of these Terms or misuse of our content — especially §5's protected-names rule.

10. Termination

You may terminate by deleting your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, where required by law, or to protect the Service. Sections 5, 7, 8, 9 survive.

11. Governing law

Governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (excluding HK, Macau, Taiwan), without conflict-of-law principles. Nothing here removes the mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live (EU / UK / EEA / Switzerland, etc.). Any claim must be brought within 1 year, unless mandatory law requires longer.

12. General

These Terms + Privacy + License are the entire agreement. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stands. Non-enforcement is not waiver. You can't assign without our consent; we may, in a transfer of the Service. Material changes get 30 days' notice. English controls in any translation conflict.
