TERMS OF SERVICE (HISTORYSIM)

Effective Date: March 11, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the HistorySim mobile application for iOS and any related services, features, content, and websites (collectively, the “Service”) provided by HistorySim LLC (“HistorySim,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.

THE SERVICE; AI-GENERATED HISTORICAL SIMULATIONS

1.1 Overview. The Service provides AI-generated fictional historical simulations based on user inputs. You may submit prompts or other free-text inputs (for example, scenario prompts, turn choices, advisor chat messages, and report text). The Service may generate text and/or images that you can view and share.

1.2 AI systems and third-party providers. The Service relies on third-party AI model and infrastructure providers to process inputs and produce outputs. Your inputs and related context may be transmitted to and processed by these providers to deliver the Service.

1.3 One service endpoint; multiple actions. The Service may process multiple types of requests (including starting a simulation, progressing turns, generating shareable assets, advisor chat, and reporting content) through one or more backend endpoints. Functionality may change over time.

ELIGIBILITY; ACCOUNT IDENTIFIERS

2.1 Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms.

2.2 App-based identifier. The Service may identify you through a locally generated application user identifier (for example, an “app_user_id”) and/or device- or installation-level identifiers rather than a traditional email/password account. Your access and entitlements (including credits/subscriptions) may be linked to these identifiers.

2.3 You are responsible for your device and access. You are responsible for activity that occurs through your installation or device identifiers. Do not share your device in a way that allows others to violate these Terms.

IMPORTANT AI DISCLOSURES; NO HISTORICAL ACCURACY WARRANTY

3.1 Outputs may be wrong or unsafe. The Service uses generative AI. Any content generated by the Service (including text, images, “advisor” responses, and summaries) may be inaccurate, fictional, incomplete, misleading, biased, offensive, or unsafe. Outputs may describe or depict sensitive themes (including violence, politics, war, or other intense historical subjects). You accept these risks.

3.2 “Historical Accuracy” ratings are not guarantees. The Service may display “Historical Accuracy” scores or ratings. These are automated, model-generated signals for entertainment or educational exploration only. IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER DOES THE APP MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE OF FACTUAL OR HISTORICAL CORRECTNESS. THE APP MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON IN ANY WAY FOR ANY FACTUAL OR HISTORICAL INFORMATION. BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO DISCLAIM AND HOLD HARMLESS HISTORYSIM, LLC.

3.3 No professional reliance. The Service and all outputs are provided for entertainment and general educational interest only. You must not rely on the Service or outputs for legal, medical, academic grading, policy-making, safety-critical decisions, military/security use, or any other decision-critical purpose. You are solely responsible for verifying information with authoritative sources.

USER CONTENT, OUTPUTS, AND RIGHTS

4.1 Definitions.

(c) maintain, secure, debug, and improve the Service;
(d) comply with law, enforce these Terms, and prevent abuse; and
