---
## 3. AI and Third-Party Services
### 3.1 AI Token System (Steam Builds)
**For Steam builds, the Game uses a backend token system:**
You acknowledge and agree that AI features require tokens. Tokens may be purchased through Steam or provided by the Developer through starting balances, rewards, promotions, compensation, or other grants. Tokens are virtual currency with no real-world cash value and are consumed through the use of AI-powered features.
The Developer controls token pricing and consumption rates and may adjust token pricing, token consumption rates, AI models, AI providers, or the operation of the token system at any time.
**Token Consumption:**
Character dialogue, thoughts, evaluations, news generation, narrative events, scenarios, and other AI-powered features may consume tokens.
Actual token consumption is variable and may differ between requests, sessions, and scenarios. Token usage may depend on factors including request complexity, context length, generated response length, AI model or provider behavior, and other technical characteristics of the AI system.
The Game may display an estimated token consumption for a scenario. Any such estimate is provided for informational purposes only and is not a guarantee, fixed price, or maximum token cost. Actual token consumption may be higher or lower than the displayed estimate.
By initiating an AI-powered request, scenario, or activity, you acknowledge and accept that the actual number of tokens consumed may differ from any estimate shown by the Game.
### 3.2 Third-Party Services
The Game may integrate with or rely on third-party services (such as Steam, etc.). Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. The Developer is not responsible for the practices or policies of third-party services.
---
## 4. Privacy and Data Collection
### 4.1 Data Collection (Steam Builds)
**For Steam builds, the Game collects and stores:**
The Game collects and stores Steam account information (Steam ID, persona name, avatar), backend session tokens (access and refresh tokens), token balance and wallet data, transaction history (purchases and AI usage), and AI request data (prompts, responses, token consumption).
This data is used for authentication and ownership verification, AI request routing and processing, token purchase and consumption tracking, and service delivery and customer support.
---
## 5. In-App Purchases and Virtual Currency
### 5.1 Token Purchases
The Game offers in-app purchases of AI tokens through Steam's payment system.
All token purchases are processed through Steam. The Developer has designated these in-game token purchases as non-refundable through Steam.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all token purchases are final and non-refundable.
Tokens have no cash value, cannot be exchanged or redeemed for real money, cannot be transferred to another account, and constitute only a limited right to use applicable AI-powered features of the Game.
Tokens that have been consumed through use of the Game cannot be restored, refunded, exchanged, or credited.
### 5.2 Virtual Currency Terms
**You acknowledge that:**
Tokens are virtual currency controlled by the Developer. Purchasing or receiving Tokens grants you a limited, personal and non-transferable right to use those Tokens solely within the Game. Purchasing Tokens does not grant you ownership of any monetary funds or other property.
The Developer may modify token pricing, token consumption rates, availability, functionality, or the token system itself.
The Developer may discontinue the token system or AI services. Where reasonably practicable, advance notice will be provided.
Upon the effective date of permanent discontinuation of the token system or applicable AI services, all unused Tokens will expire and will have no value. Users are responsible for using any remaining Tokens before the announced termination date.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no refund, credit, replacement, cash payment, or other compensation will be provided for Tokens remaining unused after the announced termination date.
### 5.3 Pricing Changes
The Developer reserves the right to change token pack pricing at any time, modify token consumption rates for AI requests, offer promotional pricing or discounts, and discontinue specific token packs.
Changes will be effective immediately for new purchases.

### 2.2 Steam Platform Requirements
**For Steam Builds:**
To use the Game on Steam, you must own a legitimate copy of the Game on Steam and log in with your Steam account to play. The Game validates ownership through Steam APIs, and an internet connection is required for initial login and session management.
**Ownership Validation:**
The Game uses Steam's ownership verification system to confirm your ownership rights. If ownership cannot be verified, the Game will not launch. Please note that sharing Steam accounts or using family sharing features may affect your Game access.
### 2.3 Backend Session and Authentication

Upon login, the Game creates a session with our backend server. Your session includes your Steam ID, player ID, and session tokens.
**What We Store:**
We store the following information on our backend server: your Steam ID (your unique Steam account identifier), Player ID (a unique identifier for your game profile), session tokens (access and refresh tokens for authentication), token balance (number of AI tokens you own), and transaction history (purchases and token usage).
### 2.4 AI Token System
**How AI Tokens Work:**
The Game uses a token-based system for AI-powered features. Tokens may be purchased through Steam or provided by the Developer through starting balances, rewards, promotions, compensation, or other grants.
AI-powered features, including dialogue, evaluations, narrative events, and other AI interactions, may consume Tokens. Your Token balance is tracked through the Developer's backend server.
### 2.5 In-App Purchases (Steam Microtransactions)

You can purchase token packs through Steam's payment system. Prices are displayed in your local currency, and all purchases are processed securely through Steam.
**Purchase Flow:**
To purchase tokens: (1) Open the in-game token store, (2) Select a token pack, (3) Complete the purchase through Steam overlay, and (4) Tokens will be added to your account after payment confirmation.
**Refund Policy:**
All Token purchases are processed through Steam. The Developer has designated these in-game Token purchases as non-refundable through Steam.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all Token purchases are final and non-refundable.
Tokens that have already been consumed through use of the Game cannot be restored, refunded, exchanged, or credited.

## 3. Token System and AI Usage Responsibilities
### 3.1 Token Ownership and Non-Transferability
**You acknowledge and agree that:**
Tokens are virtual currency with no real-world value. Tokens cannot be transferred, traded, or sold to other users, nor can they be exchanged for real money. Tokens have no value outside the Game. We reserve the right to adjust token pricing and consumption rates at any time.
### 3.2 Token Balance and Usage Tracking
**Your token balance:**
Your token balance is stored on our backend server and can be viewed in-game through the Settings/Profile menu. The balance updates in real-time after purchases and AI requests, and may be subject to adjustments for technical issues or abuse.
### 3.3 AI Request Costs
**Token consumption:**
Actual Token consumption is variable and may differ between requests, sessions, and scenarios.
Token consumption may depend on factors including request complexity, context length, generated response length, AI model or provider behavior, and other technical characteristics of the AI system.
The Game may display an estimated Token consumption for a scenario. Any such estimate is provided for informational purposes only and is not a guarantee, fixed price, or maximum Token cost. Actual Token consumption may be higher or lower than the displayed estimate.
Token deductions are made automatically when AI-powered features are used. Once an AI request has been processed and the corresponding Tokens have been consumed, the deduction cannot be reversed.
By initiating an AI-powered request, scenario, or activity, you acknowledge and accept that actual Token consumption may differ from any estimate displayed by the Game.
**Insufficient tokens:**
If your Token balance is insufficient, certain AI-powered features may become unavailable until sufficient Tokens are obtained.
### 3.4 Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for monitoring your token balance, managing your token purchases, understanding that tokens are consumed with each AI interaction, ensuring your payment information in Steam is valid, and not attempting to manipulate or exploit the token system.

### 7.4 Third-Party Processing and Data Retention
AI request prompts and relevant game context may be transmitted to third-party AI service providers for the purpose of generating AI-powered game content. Backend and infrastructure service providers may process data as reasonably necessary to operate authentication, hosting, wallet, transaction, and other Game services.
Backend data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Game and its services, maintain transaction and accounting records, prevent fraud and abuse, resolve disputes, enforce these Terms, protect the Developer's legal rights, and comply with applicable law. Data may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably necessary for those purposes.

## 3. AI and Third-Party Services
### 3.1 AI Token System (Steam Builds)
**For Steam builds, the Game uses a backend token system:**
You acknowledge and agree that AI features require tokens. Tokens may be purchased through Steam or provided by the Developer through starting balances, rewards, promotions, compensation, or other grants. Tokens are virtual currency with no real-world cash value and are consumed through the use of AI-powered features.
The Developer controls token pricing and consumption rates and may adjust token pricing, token consumption rates, AI models, AI providers, or the operation of the token system at any time.
**Token Consumption:**
Character dialogue, thoughts, evaluations, news generation, narrative events, scenarios, and other AI-powered features may consume tokens.
Actual token consumption is variable and may differ between requests, sessions, and scenarios. Token usage may depend on factors including request complexity, context length, generated response length, AI model or provider behavior, and other technical characteristics of the AI system.
The Game may display an estimated token consumption for a scenario. Any such estimate is provided for informational purposes only and is not a guarantee, fixed price, or maximum token cost. Actual token consumption may be higher or lower than the displayed estimate.
By initiating an AI-powered request, scenario, or activity, you acknowledge and accept that the actual number of tokens consumed may differ from any estimate shown by the Game.
### 3.2 Third-Party Services
The Game may integrate with or rely on third-party services (such as Steam, etc.). Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. The Developer is not responsible for the practices or policies of third-party services.
---
## 4. Privacy and Data Collection
### 4.1 Data Collection (Steam Builds)
**For Steam builds, the Game collects and stores:**
The Game collects and stores Steam account information (Steam ID, persona name, avatar), backend session tokens (access and refresh tokens), token balance and wallet data, transaction history (purchases and AI usage), and AI request data (prompts, responses, token consumption).
This data is used for authentication and ownership verification, AI request routing and processing, token purchase and consumption tracking, and service delivery and customer support.
---
## 5. In-App Purchases and Virtual Currency
### 5.1 Token Purchases
The Game offers in-app purchases of AI tokens through Steam's payment system.
All token purchases are processed through Steam. The Developer has designated these in-game token purchases as non-refundable through Steam.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all token purchases are final and non-refundable.
Tokens have no cash value, cannot be exchanged or redeemed for real money, cannot be transferred to another account, and constitute only a limited right to use applicable AI-powered features of the Game.
Tokens that have been consumed through use of the Game cannot be restored, refunded, exchanged, or credited.
### 5.2 Virtual Currency Terms
**You acknowledge that:**
Tokens are virtual currency controlled by the Developer. Purchasing or receiving Tokens grants you a limited, personal and non-transferable right to use those Tokens solely within the Game. Purchasing Tokens does not grant you ownership of any monetary funds or other property.
The Developer may modify token pricing, token consumption rates, availability, functionality, or the token system itself.
The Developer may discontinue the token system or AI services. Where reasonably practicable, advance notice will be provided.
Upon the effective date of permanent discontinuation of the token system or applicable AI services, all unused Tokens will expire and will have no value. Users are responsible for using any remaining Tokens before the announced termination date.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no refund, credit, replacement, cash payment, or other compensation will be provided for Tokens remaining unused after the announced termination date.
### 5.3 Pricing Changes
The Developer reserves the right to change token pack pricing at any time, modify token consumption rates for AI requests, offer promotional pricing or discounts, and discontinue specific token packs.
Changes will be effective immediately for new purchases.

### 2.2 Steam Platform Requirements
**For Steam Builds:**
To use the Game on Steam, you must own a legitimate copy of the Game on Steam and log in with your Steam account to play. The Game validates ownership through Steam APIs, and an internet connection is required for initial login and session management.
**Ownership Validation:**
The Game uses Steam's ownership verification system to confirm your ownership rights. If ownership cannot be verified, the Game will not launch. Please note that sharing Steam accounts or using family sharing features may affect your Game access.
### 2.3 Backend Session and Authentication

Upon login, the Game creates a session with our backend server. Your session includes your Steam ID, player ID, and session tokens.
**What We Store:**
We store the following information on our backend server: your Steam ID (your unique Steam account identifier), Player ID (a unique identifier for your game profile), session tokens (access and refresh tokens for authentication), token balance (number of AI tokens you own), and transaction history (purchases and token usage).
### 2.4 AI Token System
**How AI Tokens Work:**
The Game uses a token-based system for AI-powered features. Tokens may be purchased through Steam or provided by the Developer through starting balances, rewards, promotions, compensation, or other grants.
AI-powered features, including dialogue, evaluations, narrative events, and other AI interactions, may consume Tokens. Your Token balance is tracked through the Developer's backend server.
### 2.5 In-App Purchases (Steam Microtransactions)

You can purchase token packs through Steam's payment system. Prices are displayed in your local currency, and all purchases are processed securely through Steam.
**Purchase Flow:**
To purchase tokens: (1) Open the in-game token store, (2) Select a token pack, (3) Complete the purchase through Steam overlay, and (4) Tokens will be added to your account after payment confirmation.
**Refund Policy:**
All Token purchases are processed through Steam. The Developer has designated these in-game Token purchases as non-refundable through Steam.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all Token purchases are final and non-refundable.
Tokens that have already been consumed through use of the Game cannot be restored, refunded, exchanged, or credited.

## 3. Token System and AI Usage Responsibilities
### 3.1 Token Ownership and Non-Transferability
**You acknowledge and agree that:**
Tokens are virtual currency with no real-world value. Tokens cannot be transferred, traded, or sold to other users, nor can they be exchanged for real money. Tokens have no value outside the Game. We reserve the right to adjust token pricing and consumption rates at any time.
### 3.2 Token Balance and Usage Tracking
**Your token balance:**
Your token balance is stored on our backend server and can be viewed in-game through the Settings/Profile menu. The balance updates in real-time after purchases and AI requests, and may be subject to adjustments for technical issues or abuse.
### 3.3 AI Request Costs
**Token consumption:**
Actual Token consumption is variable and may differ between requests, sessions, and scenarios.
Token consumption may depend on factors including request complexity, context length, generated response length, AI model or provider behavior, and other technical characteristics of the AI system.
The Game may display an estimated Token consumption for a scenario. Any such estimate is provided for informational purposes only and is not a guarantee, fixed price, or maximum Token cost. Actual Token consumption may be higher or lower than the displayed estimate.
Token deductions are made automatically when AI-powered features are used. Once an AI request has been processed and the corresponding Tokens have been consumed, the deduction cannot be reversed.
By initiating an AI-powered request, scenario, or activity, you acknowledge and accept that actual Token consumption may differ from any estimate displayed by the Game.
**Insufficient tokens:**
If your Token balance is insufficient, certain AI-powered features may become unavailable until sufficient Tokens are obtained.
### 3.4 Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for monitoring your token balance, managing your token purchases, understanding that tokens are consumed with each AI interaction, ensuring your payment information in Steam is valid, and not attempting to manipulate or exploit the token system.
