User Agreement

Last updated: September 2026

1. Who may use Dochi AI

• You must be at least 13 years old. The birthday you give is a binding statement; giving a false birthday — for example to reach the 18+ mode — is a violation of this Agreement.
• Users under 18 always see the filtered service and cannot use the 18+ mode. The 18+ mode is only for adults, and we may use an age signal from Google Play to keep people under 18 out of it.
• If you are under the age of majority where you live, you confirm a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms on your behalf. A parent may connect to a teenager's account through parental controls; a parent who sets a teenager's age is responsible for setting it truthfully.
• Accounts suspended or banned for violations may not be re-created under a different identity.

2. Your account & username

• You are responsible for everything that happens through your account and for keeping your sign-in method secure.
• Every account claims a username (display name). Usernames may be changed at most once every 7 days.
• Usernames and avatars must not impersonate other people, brands, or Dochi AI staff, and must not contain sexual, hateful, or otherwise prohibited content. We may reset offending usernames or avatars without notice.
• Avatars and cover images are screened by automated AI moderation before upload — see Section 5.

3. AI companions & generated content

• Dochi AI lets you create and chat with fictional AI characters ("companions"). Everything a companion says is AI-generated fiction: it is not a real person, does not state facts, and must never be relied on for medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions. If you sincerely ask whether you are talking to a real person, a companion tells you that it is an AI.
• What is said in a voice call is turned into text and saved in that chat, like typed messages.
• Companions are not a substitute for professional help. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a crisis helpline immediately. When a message mentions self-harm, the app shows where to find a helpline.
• We may show, rank, and recommend published characters to other users as part of the Service.

4. Content rules (strictly enforced)

These rules apply to EVERYTHING you submit: characters (names, titles, personalities, appearance, likes/dislikes, scenarios, greetings, example dialogue, tags), personas, chat messages, community posts, comments, usernames, and every image you upload.

• Content for everyone is safe for all ages: no sexual, erotic, or sexually suggestive content — in text or images. This includes fetish content and "suggestive framing" of otherwise normal images. Everything is content for everyone unless it is explicitly made for adults, as below.
• Content for adults (the 18+ mode): adults may create, and chat with, AI characters made for adults. These may include romance, flirting, kissing, attraction and desire, written in gentle words, and intimate moments are written through feelings and closeness: no described sexual acts, no crude words for body parts, no sexual descriptions of bodies, no nudity, no one being forced, and no real people — in text or images, for anyone. Content for adults is shown only to adults who have switched on the 18+ mode, never to anyone under 18, and never on the website.
• Adults only in fiction: every character must have a stated age of 18 or older. Any sexual framing of minors — real, fictional, drawn, or implied — results in an immediate permanent ban and, where required, a report to authorities.
• No graphic violence: no gore, torture, glorified killing, or imagery of realistic weapons in use.
• No hate or harassment: no slurs, hate speech, extremist symbols, bullying, or targeted harassment of any person or group.
• Nothing illegal: no promotion of illegal drugs, real-world violence, self-harm, or criminal activity.
• No bypass attempts: trying to trick, jailbreak, or evade the safety filters is itself a violation, whether or not the attempt succeeds.

5. Automated moderation

• Every image upload and character/persona text is screened by AI moderation before it is accepted. Content the screener rejects cannot be uploaded or published. Content made for adults is screened against the adult rules in Section 4; a profile made for adults is refused only when two separate AI checks agree, and its pictures are checked again whenever it is saved.
• Moderation is fail-closed: if the screening system is unavailable, uploads are paused rather than allowed through unscreened. This is intentional.
• Chat output is additionally checked in real time; when a reply heads into prohibited territory, the companion stays in the story but takes the scene in another direction, and a reply that cannot be rewritten is stopped.
• Automated decisions may occasionally be wrong. If something harmless was rejected, adjust it and try again, or contact us (Section 13).

6. Personas

• Personas describe you to your companions (name, gender, age, description, appearance, likes/dislikes). Persona ages must be truthful; persona content follows the same content rules and the same AI screening as characters.
• Persona details are injected into your own chats only — they are never shown to other users.

7. Ownership & licence

• You keep ownership of the original content you create (character descriptions, images you have rights to, posts). You must own or have rights to anything you upload.
• By publishing content on Dochi AI you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, reproduce, and distribute it within the Service (e.g. showing your published character to other users).
• Deleting content or your account ends this licence except for copies required for legal compliance, backups, or moderation records.
• The Dochi AI name, logo, apps, and site are our property; you may not copy or reuse them.

8. Connected AI access

• You may connect your own OpenRouter account so that free-model conversations run on your personal allowance instead of one shared with every other user. Connecting is optional.
• That OpenRouter account, and any usage or charges on it, remain yours and are governed by OpenRouter's own terms. Dochi AI uses the access you grant only to deliver the messages you send.
• The access key is stored encrypted and is never displayed, exported, or shared. You can disconnect it at any time, revoke it from your OpenRouter account, or delete it by deleting your Dochi AI account.
• You are responsible for keeping your OpenRouter account in good standing. If the access you granted stops working, free-model conversations pause until you reconnect.
• Re-connecting is limited to once every 10 days. If the access has genuinely stopped working, that limit is lifted automatically — you never have to wait to fix a broken connection.

9. Plans, credits & purchases

• Paid plans (Plus, Pro and Ultra) and credit packs are purchased only inside the Dochi AI Android app, billed through Google Play as merchant of record. There is no checkout on the website; a purchase made in the app applies to the same account everywhere, including the website, with nothing to redeem.
• Credits are a virtual, non-transferable licence to use premium features — they are not money, hold no cash value, and are not refundable once consumed. Monthly plan credits reset each cycle and do not roll over. The price of a message can depend on the AI model and on how much of the conversation it reads; the app shows the price or its range before you send.
• Plan limits (such as free messages per day, monthly credits, group chats, voice call minutes and the longest single call) are shown in the app and may change.
• Cancellations and refunds follow the Refund & Cancellation Policy and the store's own rules (Google Play purchases are also governed by Google's refund policies).
• Banned accounts forfeit remaining credits when the ban results from a violation of Section 4.

10. Enforcement & termination

• We may remove content, reset usernames/avatars, restrict features, suspend, or permanently ban accounts that violate this Agreement — with or without prior warning, at our sole discretion.
• Severe violations (minors, illegal content, repeated bypass attempts) result in immediate permanent bans.
• You may stop using the Service at any time and can delete your account (and its data) from Settings.

11. Disclaimers & limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. AI output may be inaccurate, inappropriate despite filtering, or unavailable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, DochiAI and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Service; our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim.

12. Changes to this Agreement

We may update this Agreement as the Service evolves (for example when new features like personas or moderation systems launch). The "Last updated" date above always reflects the current version, and continued use after an update is acceptance of it. Material changes will be announced in the app or on the site.

13. Governing law & contact

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Questions, appeals, and reports: admin@dochiai.com.
