Terms of Service — Chronalife

Effective date: March 30, 2026
Last updated: March 30, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Chronalife and related services (the "Service") operated by Andrew Wade ("we", "us", "our"). The Service is run by Andrew Wade as an individual; there is no LLC or other company at this time. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.


1. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with us and are not barred from using the Service under applicable law. The Service is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or guardian has reviewed these Terms and permitted use.


2. Accounts

Where the Service supports accounts (e.g. via Clerk), you must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, pose security risk, or abuse the Service.


3. License to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own non-commercial entertainment, unless we agree otherwise in writing.

You may not:

  • Copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except where applicable law forbids this restriction;
  • Circumvent technical limitations, entitlements, or security;
  • Use the Service to build a competing product using our content or branding;
  • Interfere with servers, networking, or other users' use;
  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers) except as we expressly permit;
  • Upload malware or exploit vulnerabilities;
  • Harass, threaten, or harm others through features that allow communication;
  • Use the Service for illegal activity.

4. Intellectual property

The Service—including software, artwork, text, audio, UI, characters, narratives, and branding—is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. The Chronalife name, logos, and associated marks are our trademarks (or those of our licensors).

Feedback: If you provide suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use it without obligation to you.


5. User content

The Service may allow you to enter text or other content (e.g. in-game names, messages, posts in simulated social features).

You retain ownership of your content, but grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, display, and adapt it solely to operate, improve, and secure the Service—including sending text to AI providers for features that rely on language models.

You represent that you have the rights to your content and that it does not violate law or third-party rights.

We may remove content or restrict features that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are harmful.


6. AI features

Some features use third-party large language models (e.g. via Cerebras). AI output may be wrong, offensive, or inconsistent. It is provided "as is" for entertainment. It is not financial, medical, legal, or professional advice. Do not rely on AI responses for real-world decisions.


7. Virtual items, currency, and simulations

The Service may include virtual currency, portfolios, simulated sportsbook, lottery, stocks, crypto, properties, and other digital items.

  • They have no real-world cash value from us except as required by mandatory law;
  • They are licensed, not sold, and may be changed, rebalanced, or discontinued;
  • They are non-refundable except as required by law or platform rules;
  • No official secondary market is provided by us; out-of-game trading violates these Terms unless we expressly allow it.

Simulated gambling is not real-money wagering with us. If real-money gambling is illegal or harmful for you, do not mistake simulation for an endorsement of real betting.


8. Subscriptions and payments (Chronalife Plus)

Paid plans (including Chronalife Plus and features such as cloud save backups, expanded Time Machine, or Sandbox tools) are billed through Clerk Billing.

  • Accounts are provided by Clerk using email-based sign-in (we do not offer Sign in with Apple or Google for Chronalife accounts). You may need to verify your email before certain online features work.
  • Price is displayed at checkout before you confirm;
  • Renewal is automatic until you cancel through Clerk subscription management (for example, the customer portal or in-app flows we provide);
  • Taxes may apply;
  • Refunds follow our policies, Clerk’s terms where applicable, and payment-network rules for the method you used—contact [email protected] or [email protected] if you’re unsure.

If your payment fails or entitlement lapses, paid features may be disabled while your local game may continue offline where supported.

Mobile builds may still be distributed through Apple or Google app stores; subscription charges for Chronalife Plus are through Clerk Billing, not as an in-app purchase billed directly by those platforms unless we say otherwise in the app.


9. Cloud saves and sync

Cloud saves and server sync are best-effort. You should maintain local backups where the platform allows. We are not liable for data loss caused by device failure, user error, service outages, or bugs except where mandatory law provides otherwise.


10. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use information. By using the Service, you acknowledge that processing described there may occur.


11. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties (e.g. authentication, hosting, AI, push). Their terms and privacy policies may apply in addition to these Terms.


12. Beta, sandbox, and experimental features

We may offer beta, developer, or sandbox modes. They may be unstable, reset data, or exclude you from leaderboards or competitive features. Use at your own risk.


13. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service is free of harmful components.


14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  • WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE;
  • OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF USD $100 OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.


15. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms or law—except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.


16. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violations, risk, legal compliance, or discontinuation of the Service. Provisions that by nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, dispute resolution) survive termination.


17. Export and sanctions

You may not use the Service in countries or by persons prohibited by U.S. or applicable export control and sanctions laws.


18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State where Andrew Wade resides, excluding conflict-of-law rules except where mandatory consumer protection law applies.

Informal resolution: Before filing a claim, contact [email protected] to try to resolve the dispute.

Arbitration / class action waiver (optional — discuss with counsel):
[If you adopt arbitration, insert provider (e.g. AAA/JAMS), seat, and class-action waiver consistent with local consumer law. Many jurisdictions constrain arbitration for consumers.]

Courts: Unless arbitration applies, you and we submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in that State (to the extent permitted by law).

If you are a consumer in the EU/UK, mandatory consumer protection rules may give you rights that cannot be waived.


19. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify the Service or these Terms. We will post updated Terms with a new Effective date. Material changes may require additional notice under law or app store policies. Continued use after the effective date may constitute acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.


20. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement regarding the Service.
  • Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger or sale.
  • No waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
  • Severability: If a provision is invalid, the remainder remains in effect.
  • Notices: We may notify you via the Service, email, or app store messaging.
