By accessing, registering for, or using the Friend in the Cloud platform (“FITC”, “the Service”, “we”, “us”, “our”), you agree to these Terms together with our Privacy Policy, AI Policy, and Disclaimer. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.
By accessing, registering for, or using FITC, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), together with our Privacy Policy, AI Policy, and Disclaimer, each incorporated by reference. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Friend in the Cloud.
Friend in the Cloud is an artificial intelligence-powered companion platform that provides access to AI-generated content, digital companions, educational summaries, marketplace-based user-created AI avatars, automation tools, and related services designed for personal reflection, emotional support, and business development. The Service may evolve over time, and FITC reserves the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, or introduce new features at its sole discretion.
You represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age, possess the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement, and that your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
FITC shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account.
All payments are processed by Stripe. FITC does not store payment card details. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled prior to the renewal date. You may cancel at any time through your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
Refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis and may be limited by Stripe’s dispute rules and applicable consumer protection law. Contact [email protected] for refund inquiries.
Elaris are internal, closed-loop platform credits that may be used exclusively within the FITC ecosystem. You acknowledge that Elaris:
Where FITC awards Elaris credits or community badges in recognition of user contributions (including feedback, ideas, content, referrals, or marketplace participation), such awards constitute full and final consideration for such contributions, if any consideration is given. You acknowledge that Elaris and badges have no cash value and do not constitute equity, revenue share, or profit participation.
All purchases of Elaris credit packs are final and non-refundable, except where required by applicable consumer protection law.
FITC expressly disclaims any association with third-party tokens or cryptocurrencies claiming affiliation with the platform. Any such representations are unauthorized and fraudulent.
Only users on eligible subscription plans may list AI avatars (“Companions”) for sale. Listings may be subject to minimum quality thresholds, compliance review, and content guidelines.
Creators receive 70% of subscription revenue generated by their listed Companions. FITC retains 30% as platform fee. Payouts are processed via supported providers when balances reach minimum thresholds.
When a buyer purchases access to a Companion, they receive a fresh instance (“Clone”) at the creator’s chosen growth stage. The Clone evolves independently based on the Buyer’s interactions, cannot be resold or redistributed by the Buyer, and does not receive post-purchase updates from the original creator’s Companion.
Marketplace Clone purchases are subject to a 7-day satisfaction refund window. Graduated refund cooldowns may apply to users with repeat refund history.
FITC reserves the right to remove or refuse Marketplace listings that violate these Terms, the AI Policy, or community guidelines.
You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant FITC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, process, display, distribute, and otherwise utilize such content solely for the purpose of operating, improving, and providing the Service.
You represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content; (ii) your User Content does not infringe third-party rights; (iii) your User Content complies with these Terms and applicable laws.
FITC reserves the right, but is not obligated, to remove, delete, or modify any User Content at its sole discretion, with or without notice.
If you submit ideas, suggestions, feature proposals, bug reports, or other feedback (“Feedback”) to FITC — whether through the platform, Telegram groups, email, calls, or any other channel — you agree that:
FITC may, at its sole discretion, reward users with Elaris credits, community badges, leaderboard recognition, or other platform-native acknowledgments for valuable Feedback. Such rewards constitute full and final consideration for the Feedback.
Submitting Feedback does not create any employment, contractor, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between you and FITC.
The Service uses AI systems to generate content (“AI Content”). AI Content is produced algorithmically and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated. FITC makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or suitability of AI Content.
References to books, authors, or third-party works are provided as transformative summaries, key insights, interpretations, or educational commentary. FITC does not reproduce or distribute verbatim copyrighted works. All intellectual property rights in referenced works remain with their respective owners.
AI outputs are probabilistic in nature, may vary between interactions, and should not be relied upon without independent verification.
Additional terms governing AI features are set forth in the AI Policy, incorporated by reference.
The Service and AI Content do not constitute legal, financial, medical, psychological, therapeutic, or other professional advice. Any decisions made based on the Service are at your sole risk. For crisis support, please refer to the Disclaimer and crisis resources therein.

The Service integrates with third-party services including Stripe (payments), Anthropic and OpenAI (AI models), Supabase (database), and Vercel (hosting). Your use of these services may be subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.
The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. FITC does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation and shall not be liable for interruptions, delays, data loss, or failures.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, FITC’s total aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you have paid to FITC in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim; or (b) one hundred US dollars (USD $100).
In no event shall FITC be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FITC, its founders, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or liabilities (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, your User Content, your Feedback, or your violation of any third-party rights.
FITC reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these Terms, legal or regulatory risk, non-payment, or any reason at FITC’s reasonable discretion.
You may cancel at any time through account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period for paid subscribers, or immediately for free-tier users.
Upon termination, your access to the Service ceases, your personal data and conversations are deleted within 30 days (subject to the Privacy Policy), and any remaining Elaris credits are forfeited.
Users designated as “founding beta testers” under specific separate arrangements established prior to public launch retain any specific benefits extended under those arrangements.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Thailand, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
Subject to Section 19.3, disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Before commencing formal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation, including direct communication with FITC at [email protected].
FITC may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated by email, in-app notification, and update to the “Last Updated” date. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, AI Policy, and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and FITC regarding the Service.
If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
FITC’s failure to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
You may not assign your rights without FITC’s prior written consent. FITC may assign these Terms to any successor entity.
Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures resulting from causes beyond reasonable control.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that disputes shall be brought solely in your individual capacity and not as part of any class or representative action.
These Terms are written in English. Any translations are provided for convenience only; the English version shall govern in case of conflict.
