Companies change their terms without announcing it. We capture governance documents, compare each new version with the last, and publish what changed, with the source text behind it. One email a week on what we found and what we could not reach.
This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Character.AI's terms govern how you use the platform and make clear that the AI chatbot is not a professional and its responses should be treated as fiction, not advice. Your subscription renews automatically every month unless you cancel, and deleting your account permanently removes your Characters, chats, and messages. Using the AvatarFX feature requires you to consent to biometric data processing with a single tap.
Character.AI's Terms of Service establish the conditions under which users may access and use the platform, including consent mechanisms, content controls, account management, and payment obligations. The document expressly disclaims professional status for its AI chatbot and instructs users to treat all AI output as fiction rather than fact or advice. Character.AI reserves the authority to filter content, impose 24-hour chat suspensions for community guidelines violations, and permanently delete account data upon user-initiated deletion. Subscriptions auto-renew monthly, a biometric consent mechanism is embedded in the AvatarFX feature, a DMCA takedown protocol governs intellectual property claims, and updated terms take effect 30 days after notice with continued use constituting acceptance.
Users are explicitly told not to rely on chatbot output for professional guidance and to treat it as fiction. If you activate AvatarFX, tapping 'Agree and Continue' constitutes consent to biometric data processing. Deleting your account is permanent and irreversible — Characters, chats, and messages cannot be recovered afterward. Subscriptions renew automatically each month, including at the full stated price once any free period ends, until you affirmatively cancel. A conversation that violates community guidelines triggers an automatic 24-hour suspension of chat access. Updated terms take effect 30 days after notice; if you continue using the service after that window, you are bound by the new terms — users who do not agree should stop using the service before the 30-day period ends.
