Terms of Service

The Service is intended for adults aged 18 years or older. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old, that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, that you have not been previously suspended or removed from the Service, and that your use will comply with all applicable laws. If you are not 18 or older, you must not access or use any part of the Service, including the waitlist. Accounts found to belong to minors will be terminated and the associated data deleted.

LAYR is an entertainment and self-reflection product for adults. It offers archetype-based content, self-mapping tools, a community library, and an AI conversational feature referred to as the “Coach.” The Service is provided for personal, non-commercial entertainment use only.

The Service is not professional advice. Nothing offered through the Service constitutes medical advice, mental health treatment, psychotherapy, counseling, sex therapy, relationship counseling, legal advice, financial advice, or any other professional service. The Coach is not a therapist, counselor, or healthcare provider, regardless of any name you give it, and any output from the Coach should not be relied upon as professional advice of any kind.

Do not use the Service in place of consultation with a qualified professional. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, including thoughts of self-harm or suicide, contact emergency services or a crisis line in your jurisdiction. In the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline).

Portions of the Service rely on third-party artificial intelligence providers, including but not limited to Google Gemini. Output produced by AI features, including text replies, letters, voice readings, image generations, and personality syntheses, may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, outdated, or otherwise unsuitable for any particular purpose. AI output is not a substitute for professional judgment or human review.

You acknowledge that AI systems can produce content that appears authoritative but is not, and that you bear sole responsibility for any decisions you make based on AI output. LAYR makes no warranty regarding the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any AI output. You agree not to use AI features for any high-stakes decision, including without limitation medical, legal, financial, safety-related, or employment-related decisions.

Certain features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep that information current, and to protect the credentials or sign-in method tied to your account. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs through your account, whether or not authorized by you. One person, one account. Do not share, sell, transfer, or assign your account. We may reclaim handles, usernames, or other identifiers at our discretion.

The Service may permit you to post, upload, or otherwise submit content, including text, images, selections, and reactions (“Your Content”). You retain ownership of Your Content. By submitting Your Content to the Service, you grant LAYR a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes such as formatting), display, perform, and distribute Your Content solely as necessary to operate, provide, and improve the Service. This license terminates when you delete Your Content, except to the extent the content has been shared with other users who have not yet deleted it, or where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as backups and abuse prevention.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit Your Content and that Your Content does not violate the rights of any third party or any applicable law.

You agree not to use the Service to do any of the following, or to assist or enable others to do any of the following:

• Create, post, request, or transmit content that sexualizes, exploits, endangers, or otherwise harms any person under the age of 18, or that could reasonably be interpreted as such.
• Sexualize, identify, or otherwise depict any real, named person without that person’s explicit consent, or share another person’s private maps, answers, images, or identifying information without their consent.
• Harass, threaten, dox, stalk, defame, or intimidate any person, on or off the Service.
• Engage in, facilitate, advertise, solicit, or arrange commercial sexual activity, sex trafficking, prostitution, or any other unlawful sexual conduct, including conduct prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 1591 and 18 U.S.C. § 2421A (FOSTA-SESTA).
• Post content that is unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, obscene as defined under applicable law, or that infringes any third party’s intellectual property or privacy rights.
• Impersonate any person or entity, misrepresent your affiliation, or use the Service to deceive others.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users’ accounts, or any related systems or networks; interfere with, disrupt, or place undue load on the Service; bypass any rate limits, gating, paywalls, or technical measures.
• Scrape, harvest, crawl, mine, or otherwise extract data from the Service, whether manually or by automated means, including for the purpose of training any machine learning or artificial intelligence model.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of any part of the Service, except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law.
• Use the Service to send spam, chain messages, unsolicited advertising, or any other commercial content not expressly authorized by LAYR.
• Use the Service for any purpose that is illegal under the laws of the United States, the State of Florida, or your local jurisdiction.

We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, review, or remove content, and may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, in our sole discretion and without prior notice.

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, archetype system, character system, content, and all related intellectual property, is owned by LAYR and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, LAYR grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The LAYR name, the LAYR mark, the eight archetype names, and any related logos are trademarks of LAYR. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

Some features of the Service require payment. LAYR currently contemplates a one-time purchase tier (LAYR 2) and a subscription tier (LAYR 3). Pricing, features, and tier structure are described on our pricing page and may change. Subscriptions renew automatically at the rate then in effect until you cancel. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period and you retain access until then.

Except where required by applicable law, all fees are non-refundable. Founding-member pricing, where offered, is described at the time of purchase and is subject to its own terms. Any free trial or promotional period is offered at our discretion and may be modified or discontinued at any time.

Parts of the Service are pre-launch or in beta. Features described on the website may not yet be available, may be modified, or may be removed without notice. LAYR may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any feature, content, or part of the Service at any time and without liability to you.

You may stop using the Service at any time. You can also delete your account, which will permanently remove your profile, maps, library posts, and transactions, subject to retention required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as backups and abuse prevention.

LAYR may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, in our sole discretion, including without limitation if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LAYR expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

LAYR does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components; that defects will be corrected; that any content, including AI output, will be accurate, complete, current, reliable, or suitable for any purpose; or that the Service will meet your requirements or expectations.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, the duration of any implied warranty that cannot lawfully be disclaimed is limited to the shortest period permitted by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall LAYR, its owner, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, suppliers, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or your inability to access or use, the Service, any content on the Service, or any conduct or content of any third party on the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not LAYR has been informed of the possibility of such damage.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate liability of LAYR for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid LAYR in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (US $100.00).

These limitations apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you; in those jurisdictions, liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Service is not designed for high-stakes use. You assume all risk associated with your use of the Service and any decisions you make based on it.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LAYR and its owner, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, suppliers, and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (a) Your Content, (b) your use of or access to the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party, or (e) any dispute between you and any other user or third party arising from your use of the Service. LAYR reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

Please read this Section carefully. It requires you to resolve disputes with LAYR through binding individual arbitration and limits the way you can seek relief.

Except for disputes in which either party seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for alleged infringement or misuse of intellectual property, you and LAYR agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, any communication between you and LAYR, or the relationship between you and LAYR, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, and not in court.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this Section. The arbitration shall be held in Florida, or by remote means where the AAA Rules permit, and the arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

Class action waiver. You and LAYR agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim, and only that claim, must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

Jury trial waiver. You and LAYR each waive any right to a jury trial.

30-day right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class-action waiver by emailing hello@layr.you with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your email must include your name, the email associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Small-claims option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration, provided the claim qualifies and remains in that court.

These Terms and any dispute between you and LAYR are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Subject to Section 14, any judicial proceeding permitted under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Florida, and you and LAYR consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If you believe content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice of claimed infringement to hello@layr.you that includes the following: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or authorized agent, (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, (iii) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it on the Service, (iv) your contact information, (v) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized, and (vi) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act.

We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, disable or remove accounts that are repeat infringers.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced through the Service or by email to the address associated with your account, where available. The date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the Service.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and LAYR regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements between you and LAYR on the subject. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent to the greatest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights and obligations under them, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. LAYR may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.

LAYR will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fires, floods, accidents, network or power outages, strikes, shortages of transportation, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
