1. About these terms

1.1 These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of The Chamber, a web-based, AI-generated satirical British local-government simulation game available at https://thechambergame.uk (the "Service").

1.2 The Service is operated by David Ville, a sole trader trading as "Actually AI", established in England and Wales (referred to in these Terms as "we", "us" or "our"). We are not VAT registered.

1.3 By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1.4 These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, AI Content Notice, and Refund and Cancellation Policy, each of which forms part of your agreement with us.

1.5 Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer. Where these Terms conflict with rights you have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other applicable consumer protection law, those statutory rights prevail.

2. The Service

2.1 The Chamber is a text-based simulation game in which you take the role of the leader of a fictional British local council and make decisions across a series of in-game sessions. The narrative, characters, events and outcomes are generated by artificial intelligence and are works of satirical fiction.

2.2 The game is structured into sessions. Session 1 is available free of charge and without payment details. Sessions 2 to 12 require an active paid subscription, as described in clause 4.

2.3 We may update, improve, change or remove features of the Service from time to time. See clause 11 for how we handle material changes.

2.4 Please read the AI Content Notice carefully. All in-game content is AI-generated satire. It is fiction, not advice of any kind. See clause 7.

3. Eligibility, age and accounts

3.1 You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. The Service is intended for a general adult and older-teen audience, contains satire with mild political themes, and is not intended for children. By using the Service you confirm that you are 16 or over.

3.2 Session 1 can be played anonymously, without creating an account. When you subscribe, an account is created using your email address.

3.3 You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity that takes place under your account. You must notify us promptly at david@actuallyai.co.uk if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

3.4 You must provide accurate account and billing information and keep it up to date.

3.5 You must not share, sell or transfer your account or subscription to any other person.

4. Subscription, price, billing and auto-renewal

4.1 Free tier. Session 1 is free. No payment details are required to play Session 1.

4.2 Paid subscription. To access Sessions 2 to 12 you must take out a paid subscription. The subscription options are:

• Monthly: GBP 4.99 per month; and
• Annual: GBP 49.99 per year.

All prices are in pounds sterling. We are not VAT registered, so no VAT is added to these prices.

4.3 Payment processing. Payments are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. When you subscribe you provide your card or payment details directly to Stripe. We do not see or store your full card details. Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe's own terms and privacy policy.

4.4 Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically. Unless you cancel before the end of the current billing period:

• a monthly subscription renews automatically each month and you will be charged GBP 4.99 for each new month; and
• an annual subscription renews automatically each year and you will be charged GBP 49.99 for each new year,

at the price in force at the time of renewal, using your saved payment method, until you cancel.

4.5 How renewal works. Your subscription continues for successive billing periods. Each renewal takes place on the anniversary (monthly or annual, as applicable) of the date your paid subscription started. We will take payment on or around that date. If a payment fails, we may retry it and may suspend access to paid sessions until payment succeeds.

4.6 Price changes. We may change subscription prices from time to time. We will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before any price change affects you, and the new price will only apply from your next renewal after that notice period. If you do not agree to the new price, you can cancel before it takes effect (see clause 5).

5. How to cancel

5.1 You can cancel your subscription at any time through your account or the Stripe customer portal that we make available to subscribers.

5.2 Cancellation stops future renewals. When you cancel, you will not be charged again, but your subscription and access to paid sessions continue until the end of the period you have already paid for. After that, your access reverts to the free tier.

5.3 We do not generally provide pro-rata refunds for partial periods. Your rights to a refund, including any statutory cancellation rights and how immediate access to digital content affects them, are explained in our Refund and Cancellation Policy. Nothing in this clause limits rights you have under law.

6. Acceptable use

6.1 You agree to use the Service only for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes and in line with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

6.2 Prohibited conduct includes, in summary, attempting to bypass the paywall or access controls, automated scraping or data harvesting, reselling or commercially exploiting the Service, reverse engineering, and abusive or excessive use of the AI generation features. The full list is set out in the Acceptable Use Policy.

6.3 We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach the Acceptable Use Policy or these Terms, as set out in clause 10.

7. AI-generated content and fictional persons

7.1 All in-game content is generated by artificial intelligence and is satirical fiction. All councils, parties, characters, officials, residents and events depicted in the game are fictional. Any resemblance to real people, places, organisations or events is coincidental and intended as satire.

7.2 AI-generated content can be inaccurate, incomplete, or in poor taste, and may produce material that some people find provocative. The content is not advice of any kind, including legal, political, financial, or professional advice, and must not be relied upon as a statement of fact.

7.3 Our full position is set out in the AI Content Notice, which forms part of these Terms.

8. Intellectual property

8.1 The Service, including its software, design, branding, the name "The Chamber", and the underlying game framework, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you may not copy, distribute, modify or create derivative works from the Service.

8.2 We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your own personal entertainment, in line with these Terms.

8.3 The AI-generated text produced during your sessions is created for your personal use within the game. [SOLICITOR / OWNER TO CONFIRM: the intended position on ownership and reuse of AI-generated session output, and how that interacts with the AI provider's terms.]

8.4 The "Actually AI" name and branding are ours and may not be used without our prior written permission.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

9.1 The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we aim to provide a reliable and enjoyable Service, we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that the AI-generated content will be accurate or to your taste.

9.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties, conditions and terms that might otherwise apply to the Service, except those that cannot lawfully be excluded.

9.3 Liability we do not exclude. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• any breach of your statutory rights as a consumer that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015; or
• any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

9.4 Liability we do limit. Subject to clause 9.3, and because the Service is a low-cost consumer entertainment product:

• we are not liable for any loss or damage that was not foreseeable, for any business losses (the Service is for personal use only), or for any loss arising from your reliance on AI-generated content; and
• our total liability to you in connection with the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the total amount you paid us for the Service in that period. [SOLICITOR TO REVIEW the cap and confirm it is fair and enforceable for a consumer contract under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.]

9.5 We are not responsible for the services of third parties such as Stripe, or for failures caused by events outside our reasonable control.

10. Suspension and termination

10.1 We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, if required by law, or if necessary to protect the Service or other users.

10.2 You may stop using the Service at any time and cancel your subscription as described in clause 5.

10.3 If we terminate your account for a serious breach by you, you will not be entitled to a refund of fees already paid, except where required by law.

10.4 Clauses that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) continue to apply after your account ends.

11. Changes to these Terms and to the Service

11.1 We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will give you reasonable notice by email or through the Service before it takes effect.

11.2 If you do not agree to a material change, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

11.3 We may change, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Service. If we discontinue a paid feature you have already paid for, we will provide a fair refund for the unused part of your paid period where required by law or where it is fair to do so. See also clause 4.6 on price changes.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

12.1 These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter are governed by the law of England and Wales.

12.2 You and we agree that the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you live in another part of the United Kingdom, you may also be able to bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the UK in which you live, and the mandatory consumer protection law of that part may apply.

13. General

13.1 If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the rest of the Terms continue in force.

13.2 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights under these Terms. You may not transfer your rights or obligations without our written consent.

13.3 No failure or delay by us in enforcing any provision of these Terms is a waiver of that provision.
