Terms of Use

STORY FRUITION LLC TERMS OF USE

Last updated August 2026

Story Fruition LLC (“Story Fruition,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides Missy, an AI-powered speech and presentation coaching experience, together with storyfruition.com and related services (collectively, the “Service”), subject to these Terms of Use (“Terms”). By accessing or using the Service, you (“you” or “user”) agree to these Terms.

  1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By accessing or using the Service in any way, you agree to comply with these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations. When using particular features of the Service, you also agree to abide by any applicable posted guidelines, which may change from time to time.

If you object to any term or condition of these Terms, or become dissatisfied with the Service in any way, your only recourse is to discontinue use of the Service. If you have a paid subscription, your remedy is to cancel it under the terms of your subscription.

Story Fruition has the right, but is not obligated, to enforce these Terms through self-help measures, account restrictions, or legal action.

If you are under 18 years of age, you may not use the Service without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf. See Section 8 (Privacy and Data Protection) for our children's privacy commitments.

  1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE

Missy is an AI-powered coaching experience that helps you develop and refine spoken presentations and stories. Depending on the features you use, Missy may listen to or record your spoken input, convert speech to text, and generate feedback, suggestions, or coaching recommendations intended to help you improve your delivery.

Some components of Missy are built on third-party artificial intelligence and voice-processing infrastructure. Story Fruition has contracted with its AI infrastructure providers to restrict their use of your data for their own model training, consistent with the commitments described in our Privacy Policy.

Missy proposes recommendations for you to consider, accept, reject, or modify. Missy does not independently take action on your behalf, and it does not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.

  1. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT

At its sole discretion, Story Fruition may change, modify, or otherwise alter these Terms at any time. Changes become effective upon posting. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days' notice by email (where an address is on file) and by posting a prominent notice on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after notice of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

You can view the most recent version of these Terms at https://www.storyfruition.com/terms. We recommend reviewing these Terms periodically; the next scheduled review is January 2027, alongside our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and DMCA Policy.

  1. AI-GENERATED CONTENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Feedback, scores, transcripts, and coaching suggestions generated by Missy are produced using artificial intelligence and are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They are not professional, medical, psychological, legal, or career advice, and they may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies.

You are solely responsible for evaluating any AI-generated output and deciding whether and how to act on it. Story Fruition does not guarantee any particular outcome, such as improved presentation performance, interview success, or audience reception, from using the Service.

  1. VOICE DATA, BIOMETRIC IDENTIFIERS, AND CONSENT

If you use a voice feature of Missy, you consent to the collection and processing of your voice recordings and any biometric identifiers derived from them, such as a voiceprint, as described in Section 4 of our Privacy Policy at storyfruition.com/privacy-policy. Where required by law, we will obtain your explicit written consent before your first voice recording.

You may withdraw this consent at any time by discontinuing use of voice features or by contacting us at [email protected]. Withdrawing consent may limit or disable certain parts of the Service.

Voice recordings and biometric identifiers may, depending on how they are used, constitute “consumer health data” under Washington's My Health My Data Act if they reveal or could be used to infer your physical or mental health status. Where that Act applies to our processing, we will provide the additional disclosures and obtain the affirmative consent it requires, described in a separate Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy at storyfruition.com/consumer-health-data-privacy-policy, and you will be able to revoke that consent at any time by contacting [email protected].

  1. YOUR CONTENT

You understand that all recordings, text, transcripts, images, or other materials you submit to, or generate through, the Service (“Content”) are your sole responsibility. Story Fruition does not control and is not responsible for Content you or other users submit.

Story Fruition does not pre-screen Content but may, in its sole discretion, refuse, remove, or restrict access to Content that violates these Terms or for any other reason, and will endeavor to notify affected users except where prohibited by law or where notice could enable circumvention.

  1. THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, SITES, AND SERVICES

The Service may link to or integrate with third-party content, websites, or services that are independent of Story Fruition. Story Fruition makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any such third-party content, and your use of it is at your own risk. Story Fruition is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from your dealings with third parties encountered through the Service.

  1. PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION

Our Privacy Policy (storyfruition.com/privacy-policy) explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information, including the data types we collect, the legal bases we rely on, your privacy rights under laws such as the CCPA/CPRA and GDPR, our data retention practices, and our approach to international data transfers. It is incorporated into these Terms by reference and controls over these Terms with respect to any conflict regarding the handling of personal information.

Our Cookie Policy (storyfruition.com/cookies) explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the Service and how you can control them, including through Global Privacy Control recognition and browser-level settings.

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA/UK), consistent with the children's privacy commitments in our Privacy Policy.

Canadian Users

If you access the Service from Canada, the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) governs our handling of your personal information. If you are located in Quebec, Quebec's Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector (Law 25) imposes additional requirements, including affirmative opt-in consent for non-essential cookies and tracking technologies described in our Cookie Policy.

  1. USER CONDUCT

You agree not to submit, post, or transmit Content through the Service that:

  • Is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or invasive of another's privacy.
  • Harasses, degrades, intimidates, or is hateful toward an individual or group based on a protected characteristic.
  • Impersonates any person or entity, including a Story Fruition employee, or misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity.
  • Includes personal or identifying information about another person without that person's consent.
  • Is false, deceptive, or misleading.
  • Infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other proprietary right of any party.
  • Contains unsolicited advertising, spam, or pyramid schemes.
  • Contains software viruses, malware, or other code designed to disrupt or damage systems.

Additionally, you agree not to:

  • Stalk, harass, bully, or threaten any person.
  • Collect personal data about other users for commercial or unlawful purposes.
  • Use automated means, including bots, scrapers, or data-mining tools, to access or extract data from the Service unless expressly permitted by Story Fruition.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to Story Fruition's systems or disrupt, diminish, or impair the Service.
  • Use the Service in a manner that violates the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other applicable anti-discrimination law.
  1. NO SPAM POLICY

Sending unsolicited email advertisements to Story Fruition email addresses or through Story Fruition systems is prohibited. Unauthorized use of Story Fruition systems violates these Terms and applicable law, including the CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq.) and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030 et seq.), and may subject the sender to civil and criminal penalties.

  1. ACCESSIBILITY

Story Fruition voluntarily uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as a best-practice benchmark for making the Service accessible to users with disabilities. WCAG is a technical standard, not itself a law, and there is currently no U.S. regulation requiring a private business's website to meet a specific WCAG version.

WCAG conformance becomes a binding legal requirement for the Service, rather than a voluntary benchmark, under any of the following circumstances: (a) Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, if Story Fruition contracts with or receives funding from a U.S. federal agency; (b) Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, if the Service is provided to a state or local government customer, which requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance under a U.S. Department of Justice rule phased in by April 26, 2027 (for larger jurisdictions) and April 26, 2028 (for smaller ones), extended by one year from the rule's original 2026/2027 dates in an April 2026 DOJ interim final rule; or (c) a court order or regulatory settlement arising from a claim under Title III of the ADA, which governs private businesses generally but does not itself name a specific technical standard. Outside of these circumstances, Story Fruition's WCAG 2.2 AA target is a voluntary commitment made to reduce accessibility barriers and litigation risk, not a specific standard imposed by law. If you experience an accessibility barrier, please contact us at [email protected].

  1. FEES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS

Certain features of the Service may require payment of a fee or subscription, as described at the time of purchase. Fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. Story Fruition may change its pricing at any time with reasonable prior notice to affected subscribers.

  1. LIMITATIONS ON SERVICE

Story Fruition may establish limits on your use of the Service, including limits on storage, session length, or frequency of access, and has no responsibility or liability for the deletion of or failure to store Content maintained through the Service. Story Fruition reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, with reasonable notice where practicable, and is not liable to you or any third party for doing so.

  1. LICENSE TO ACCESS THE SERVICE

Story Fruition grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for your own personal or, where applicable, internal business purposes. This license does not include any right to collect, aggregate, copy, or create derivative uses of the Service, or to use data-mining, bots, or similar extraction tools, unless expressly permitted by Story Fruition.

A limited exception applies to general-purpose search engines that index the Service for the sole purpose of displaying hyperlinks to it, provided they comply with our robots.txt file. Use of the Service beyond the scope of this license immediately terminates it. To make commercial use of Service content beyond what is stated here, you must obtain a written license from Story Fruition.

  1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Service, including its design, software, and Story Fruition-generated content, is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, modify, or create derivative works from the Service, or decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any part of it, except as permitted by law.

Story Fruition does not claim ownership of the Content you submit. By submitting Content to the Service, you grant Story Fruition a limited, worldwide license to host, process, analyze, and display that Content solely as needed to operate, provide, and improve the Service for you, consistent with our Privacy Policy. This license ends when you delete the Content or close your account, except where retention is required for legal, security, or backup purposes.

Story Fruition and the Story Fruition logo are trademarks of Story Fruition LLC. All other trademarks appearing on the Service are the property of their respective owners.

  1. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT (DMCA)

Story Fruition respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. If you believe Content on the Service infringes your copyright, or if your Content was removed and you wish to submit a counter-notification, please see our full DMCA Policy at storyfruition.com/dmca, which describes our designated agent, the notice-and-takedown procedure, the counter-notification procedure, and our repeat infringer policy under 17 U.S.C. § 512.

  1. TERMINATION

Story Fruition may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, and is not liable to you or any third party for doing so. You agree not to attempt to use the Service after termination. Sections 4 through 22 survive termination of these Terms.

  1. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

YOU AGREE THAT USE OF THE SERVICE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” OR “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties. In such jurisdictions, some of the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you.

  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL STORY FRUITION BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF STORY FRUITION HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STORY FRUITION'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO STORY FRUITION IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not permit limitations of liability. Some of the foregoing limitations may not apply to you in such jurisdictions.

  1. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify and hold Story Fruition, its officers, affiliates, directors, agents, service providers, and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorney fees, made by a third party arising out of: (a) Content you submit through the Service; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any rights of another.

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution, you agree to contact us at [email protected] to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will endeavor to respond within 30 days.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as provided below.

Class Action Waiver

YOU AND STORY FRUITION AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If this waiver is found unenforceable, the class action portion shall be litigated in court and the remaining disputes shall proceed in arbitration.

Exceptions

Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights. Small claims court actions are also exempt from this arbitration agreement.

Limitation Period

Any claim arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose or be forever barred.

Quebec Consumers

If you are a consumer located in Quebec, Canada, nothing in this Section 21 requires you to arbitrate a dispute or prevents you from bringing a claim, including a class proceeding, before the courts of Quebec, to the extent Quebec's Consumer Protection Act prohibits mandatory arbitration or a waiver of class action rights in consumer contracts. This Section 21 remains in full effect for all other users.

  1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Governing Law

These Terms and the relationship between you and Story Fruition are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent a matter is not subject to arbitration under Section 21, you and Story Fruition agree to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington. This choice of law does not apply to the extent it would deprive a consumer of a protection that cannot be waived under the law of the consumer's home jurisdiction, including Quebec's Consumer Protection Act.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Story Fruition regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability

If a court finds any provision of these Terms invalid, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment

You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Story Fruition may assign its rights and obligations without restriction.

Force Majeure

Story Fruition is not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, or third-party infrastructure failures.
