FictionCore Terms of Use
Version
2026-10-17.
1. Provider and service
FictionCore is provided by Sofuwaru OÜ, Ehitajate tee 68-125, 12915 Tallinn, Estonia; Estonian Commercial Register (äriregister) code 17059718. Contact: sofuwaru@gmail.com. Website: https://fictioncore.app.
FictionCore is a service for adults to find partners for text roleplay, prepare and publish creative material, and share external contacts. Roleplay conversations take place outside FictionCore. Available functions include profiles, private workspaces, publications, partner/group ads and related community and account tools. Availability can depend on the app version, account status and the conditions shown for the function. Premium purchases and subscriptions are currently unavailable. We do not promise to release planned functions.
You need a supported device, an internet connection and, for the current Android sign-in, Google Play services. Your network provider may charge for data. An update may be required for compatibility or security.
2. Your account
You must be at least 18. Sign in with Google, choose English or Russian for the contract and consumer information, and review your display name and handle. By that choice you agree to receive the contract and consumer information in the chosen language instead of Estonian. A pseudonym is allowed. The 18+ declaration is not verified proof of age. Do not impersonate another person or use secrets as profile information. Your account is personal: do not sell, transfer or share access to it.
Google sign-in alone does not create a FictionCore account. You separately confirm that you are at least 18, accept the displayed Terms and select Create account. The contract is formed when account creation succeeds. Before submitting, you can correct your entries or leave the form. We record the accepted Terms’ version, language, fingerprint and acceptance time, separately from Privacy Policy delivery and your 18+ declaration. Changing the interface language does not change the language of that agreement.
We may refuse to create an account, or end one created contrary to these eligibility rules, including where we reasonably believe that the user is under 18. We may ask you to change, or ourselves change, a display name or handle that breaches these Terms, misleads others or infringes another person’s rights.
Protect your Google account and report suspected unauthorised access. FictionCore does not receive your Google password. Signing out or revoking a FictionCore session does not delete your Google account.
The Terms and Privacy Policy are available on the website with exact Markdown downloads and archives of earlier published revisions. The Privacy Policy explains processing; receiving it is not blanket consent or acceptance of another contract.
3. Content and use
The service is SFW. Do not publish explicit sexual content or pornography, graphic or gratuitous gore, or detailed torture. Do not use FictionCore to solicit or arrange explicit sexual material elsewhere. Non-explicit adult romance, non-graphic fictional conflict and dark themes are allowed within the following rules.
The existing content rules also prohibit:
- child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) in any form, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and any abuse, exploitation, sexualisation, grooming or endangerment of minors or minor-presenting characters, including in fictional backstory;
- suicide and self-harm as a theme, depiction, instruction or promotion;
- depictions of sexual assault; a non-graphic reference to adult backstory is allowed only when the person was also an adult at the time;
- real threats, targeted harassment, doxxing, hate advocacy, terrorist promotion and actionable instructions for illegal or dangerous acts;
- content or conduct that infringes another person’s rights, unlawful disclosure of personal data, impersonation, fraud, spam, malware, unauthorised access or interference with the service, and evasion of access or moderation restrictions, including through another account, device or network;
- automated access, scraping or bulk collection of material or user data, including for training AI models, without our permission.
These are service rules; not every breach is itself unlawful. Fictional context does not override an express prohibition. Grief and non-self-inflicted fictional death remain allowed. Respect other writers’ stated boundaries; consent between writers does not override these publication rules. Do not copy, decompile or reverse-engineer the app except where the law permits it.
Upload only material you have the right to use and share. You retain your rights. You grant Sofuwaru OÜ a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence, limited to operating FictionCore, to store, reproduce, technically format, check for compliance with these Terms and display or distribute your material to the audience you select. We may use service providers for those operations. The licence lasts while the material is stored for those purposes; copies retained for a legal reason or backup lifecycle remain limited to that purpose. It transfers no ownership and does not authorise unrelated advertising or sale of your work.
We may use ideas and suggestions about FictionCore that you send us without restriction or payment. This does not apply to your creative material or personal data.
Publications and profile information are visible according to the selected visibility and access settings. Private workspaces are not public publications. A person who has already received a contact or copied material may retain it after you withdraw access. External services have their own terms and privacy rules. A contact link, profile or reputation indicator is not a guarantee of a person’s identity, conduct or suitability as a partner.
Reputation, ranks, titles, quiz results and other participation indicators have no monetary value and cannot be transferred. We may adjust, reset or remove them to correct errors, prevent abuse or change these functions.
4. Moderation, reports and contact
We may refuse publication, remove or restrict the visibility of material, warn a user, restrict functions, suspend or end an account where we reasonably consider it appropriate to apply these rules, address unlawful activity, abuse or security risks, or comply with law. The measure takes account of the context, seriousness, repetition and affected rights. An urgent measure need not be preceded by a warning. We are not obliged to publish or keep available any particular material and have no general obligation to monitor content.
Moderation uses user reports, staff review and technical controls. Ordinary text can become visible before review. When enabled, OpenAI Moderation checks text intended for public surfaces and can hide a prohibited version or refer it for human review. Azure AI Content Safety can reject or hold image uploads before publication. Automated checks can be wrong and do not certify that material is lawful or safe. Private workspace drafts are not general text screening input. When public profile text is hidden, its author retains the source for correction. Images may be temporarily unavailable throughout the service during an incident.
Repeated content-policy rejections may lead to warnings and temporary limits on submitting content, with longer limits for repeated series. A successful submission resets the series; technical provider failures do not count as policy rejections. These limits can be reviewed, lifted or reset by a person and do not by themselves end your account. We may also apply proportionate limits to repeated registrations and unusually frequent requests to prevent abuse and protect service availability. Do not evade these safeguards. Contact us if a measure is incorrect.
When we ban an account for a breach, we may also block access, sign-in and new registrations from the IP addresses recorded for it, as described in the Privacy Policy. Such a block can affect other people who use the same network. It ends at the latest when the ban is lifted. If such a block affects you although the ban does not concern you, contact us by email; a person reviews the block.
Use Report on available app surfaces for a breach of the rules, and Block to stop interaction with another user where available. Anyone, including someone without an account, can report alleged illegal content to sofuwaru@gmail.com. Include:
- the exact URL or other location and enough information to identify the item;
- an explanation of why it is illegal, with relevant supporting facts;
- your name and email, except where EU law permits their omission for reports concerning sexual abuse or exploitation of children; and
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the information is accurate and complete.
Identify suspected illegal imagery by its location; do not send copies. We remove apparent child sexual abuse material and report confirmed material to the competent authorities. Where an electronic contact is available, we acknowledge receipt and inform the notifier of our decision, any use of automated means and available redress without undue delay. For restrictions based on illegal content or these content rules, we give the affected user the reasons, scope and duration, relevant facts, legal or contractual basis, use of automation and available redress as required by law. After a warning, we may suspend for a reasonable period the handling of notices and complaints from a person who frequently submits manifestly unfounded ones.
To contest a decision, use the review route shown with it or email the contact above with the decision reference and your reasons. Available app review controls and deadlines are shown in the decision. Legal remedies remain available. Email also provides contact with a person about the service without an account; it is the contact point for authorities under the Digital Services Act. Authorities may communicate in Estonian or English; users may write in English or Russian. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
5. Ending the contract and changing the service
The account contract continues until ended. You can end it at any time using Profile → Settings → Account → Delete account, or request deletion by email. The Privacy Policy explains the process and limited retention exceptions. Signing out or uninstalling the app does not delete the account.
We may change functions or discontinue all or part of the service for legal, safety, security, technical, operational or economic reasons, including changes to service scope or third-party dependencies. We may also end the contract for an individual account without a breach, for example after prolonged inactivity. Before ending the account service for you or for all users, we give reasonable advance notice, unless a serious or repeated breach, an urgent risk or a legal requirement justifies earlier action. Functions marked as experimental can change or end at short notice. Changes do not create a charge without a separate agreement. Where consumer law applies, we provide the required notice, durable-medium information, remedies and termination rights, including for changes that adversely affect access or use beyond a minor extent. Statutory conformity and update duties remain intact.
We may change these Terms for the same reasons. We inform you of significant changes and explain when they apply. For a change that adversely affects you, we give reasonable advance notice and seek renewed acceptance where required; if you do not agree, you can end the contract before it applies. Changes that are favourable or neutral for you, or required by law, can apply at once. A change does not remove accrued claims.
We may transfer this contract to a company that takes over FictionCore, provided this does not reduce your rights or the performance owed to you. We inform you of the transfer; you can end the contract at any time.
Where consumer law gives you a right of withdrawal, you may withdraw from this contract within 14 days of account creation without giving any reason. Use Delete account in Profile → Settings → Account (or the withdrawal function in the same place, where the app shows one), or send us an unequivocal statement before the period ends; no special wording is required. You may use this model:
To Sofuwaru OÜ, Ehitajate tee 68-125, 12915 Tallinn, Estonia, sofuwaru@gmail.com: I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my contract for the provision of the FictionCore service. Account created on: …; handle: …; name: …; email or address: …; signature (only if sent on paper): …; date: ….
The service is free: withdrawal costs nothing and nothing is refunded. The account is then deleted as described in the Privacy Policy. Creating an account does not waive this right.
6. Liability
FictionCore is provided free of charge. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability, the preservation of particular material, a particular partner or the conduct of other users. Keep your own copies of material that matters to you.
We are liable for a breach of our obligations only if we are at fault. Our liability is not limited for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for death or damage to health, or where the law does not permit a limitation. In other cases of carelessness, we are liable only for typical damage that was foreseeable when the contract was concluded, and not for lost profit or other indirect loss.
We are not responsible for material or conduct of other users or external services; we act on illegal content we become aware of as described in section 4. If a third party brings a claim against us because of your material or your breach of these Terms, you are responsible for the resulting damage, including reasonable legal costs, to the extent you are liable for it under applicable law.
7. Complaints and applicable law
Send consumer contract complaints to sofuwaru@gmail.com. We confirm receipt of written complaints and respond in writing within 15 days where required by Estonian consumer law. If a justified extension is necessary, we explain it and give a new reasonable deadline as required by that law.
If a dispute falls within its jurisdiction, you may contact the Estonian Consumer Disputes Committee, avaldus@komisjon.ee; its procedure is described on that page and in the Estonian Consumer Protection Act. Judicial remedies remain available.
Estonian law governs these Terms without removing mandatory protections of a consumer’s country of residence. Nothing limits rights, remedies or liability that applicable law does not allow us to limit. If a provision of these Terms is invalid, the remaining provisions remain in force.
