Terms of Service

Last Updated: 18 Mar 2026 · Operated by Neosphere Inc., a Delaware C-Corporation

1. Introduction

Welcome to Niopub ("Niopub," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Niopub application, website, and associated services (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the Service.

2. Description of the Service

Niopub is an AI companion platform where users ("Users") configure and interact with AI-powered digital agents ("Agents"). Users may create Agents by providing User-Provided Context, such as prompts, personality descriptions, documents, images, or other informational materials that help the Agent operate.

Niopub runs all Agents on its own infrastructure, including GPUs, servers, orchestration tools, and operational logic. Users do not host, publish, or distribute content through Niopub; they simply provide contextual data used internally by Niopub's systems to generate AI outputs.

Agents may be set to public (available for all Users to chat with) or private (available only to the creator).

Niopub does not function as a social content-hosting platform and does not enable the sale, posting, or distribution of user-generated content.

The Service is provided free of charge to all users. There are no subscriptions, premium tiers, paid features, or in-app purchases. All users have equal access to all functionality regardless of payment activity.

3. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if you:

  1. Are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher);
  2. Have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts; and
  3. Are not prohibited from using Stripe or similar financial services.

The Service is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to create an account or use the Service. If we learn that a user is under 18, we will promptly terminate their account and delete their data.

4. Account Registration

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and up-to-date registration information;
  • Maintain the security of your login credentials;
  • Be responsible for all actions under your account.

5. User-Provided Context

5.1 Ownership

You retain rights to the context you provide solely for the purpose of configuring or operating an Agent.

5.2 License to Niopub

By supplying context, you grant Niopub a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to store, process, transform, and use such context only for operating, maintaining, improving, securing, and training Niopub's systems, including the operation of Agents on Niopub's infrastructure. This license survives termination of your account.

5.3 Not User-Generated Content

User-Provided Context is not treated as publicly posted content. It is used internally by Niopub's AI systems and is not distributed or sold to other users.

5.4 Prohibited Context

You may not supply context that:

  • Infringes on intellectual property, including copyrighted or proprietary works;
  • Contains unauthorized or leaked content;
  • Includes explicit sexual content, nudity, or erotic material;
  • Includes hate speech, extremist content, or violent material;
  • Involves illegal, fraudulent, or harmful activity;
  • Contains sensitive personal data (e.g., health, financial, or government identifiers);
  • Depicts, promotes, or facilitates child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or sexual exploitation of minors in any form;
  • Promotes self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders;
  • Promotes terrorism, violent extremism, or recruitment for terrorist organizations;
  • Is designed to impersonate a real person without their consent;
  • Contains malware, viruses, or code intended to damage or exploit systems;
  • Is designed to generate deepfakes of real individuals without their consent;
  • Constitutes spam, unsolicited commercial messages, or automated bulk activity.

Niopub may restrict or remove any Agent containing prohibited context and may report illegal content to law enforcement.

6. Agent Interactions & AI-Generated Outputs

Agents generate responses using AI models operated exclusively by Niopub. Niopub does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness of any Agent response.

Users interacting with Agents understand and agree that:

  • Agent outputs are generated autonomously and may be unpredictable, inaccurate, incomplete, or offensive;
  • Agents are computer programs, not real people — interactions with Agents do not constitute real relationships of any kind;
  • Agent outputs do not constitute professional advice — you must not rely on Agent outputs for medical, legal, financial, therapeutic, or any other professional decisions;
  • You must evaluate, and you bear all risks associated with, the use of any Agent output;
  • Niopub may log interactions to operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
  • Public Agents may store interactions in ways visible to their creator.

Niopub is not liable for any damages or decisions made in reliance on Agent outputs. Any reliance on Agent outputs is at your own risk.

7. Tips and Monetization

7.1 Tips Are Voluntary Peer-to-Peer Gifts

Users may optionally send tips to creators of public Agents as a voluntary gift of appreciation for making an Agent available. Tips are person-to-person transfers of money from one user directly to another user. Tips are not payments for goods, services, digital content, or in-app features. Sending a tip does not entitle the sender to any specific output, access, feature, functionality, or benefit within the Service. No features, content, subscriptions, or capabilities are unlocked, granted, or modified as a result of sending or receiving a tip.

7.2 How Tips Work

Tips are processed entirely through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. When a user sends a tip:

  1. The tip amount is charged to the sender's payment method by Stripe;
  2. Niopub deducts a platform fee (described below) to help cover the cost of providing the free AI service and platform infrastructure;
  3. The remaining amount is deposited directly into the creator's own bank account via their Stripe Connected Account.

Niopub does not hold, custody, or have access to any creator's bank account. Creators connect their own bank accounts directly to Stripe during the Stripe Connect onboarding process. Niopub acts solely as a facilitator of this peer-to-peer transfer and never takes possession of creator funds.

7.3 Platform Fee

Niopub collects a platform fee from each tip to fund the operation of the free AI service, including infrastructure, compute, and payment processing costs. The fee structure is as follows:

  • Tips under $5.00: A platform fee of 15% of the tip amount, plus a fixed fee of $0.30 to cover payment processing costs on smaller transactions.
  • Tips $5.00 and above: A platform fee of 15% of the tip amount.

The remaining amount after the platform fee is transferred directly to the creator's bank account through their Stripe Connected Account.

7.4 Payout Timing and Disputes

Payout frequency from the creator's Stripe Connected Account to their bank account is managed by Niopub to ensure smooth platform operation. In the event of disputes or violation of payment terms, Niopub reserves the right to freeze the connected account to protect other creators on the platform. Niopub is not financially liable for any transactional or content violations carried out by a creator. All losses arising from such violations will be borne by the owner of the connected bank account.

7.5 Stripe Compliance

To receive tips, Users must:

  • Successfully complete onboarding to Stripe Connect, including providing identification and bank account details directly to Stripe;
  • Comply with Stripe's Terms of Service and Restricted Business Policies;
  • Authorize Niopub to transfer necessary data to Stripe for compliance.

Stripe may suspend or restrict payouts at its discretion, which may affect your ability to receive tips. Niopub has no control over Stripe's decisions.

7.6 Taxes

Users receiving tips are solely responsible for reporting tip income and paying any applicable taxes. Niopub does not provide tax advice and is not responsible for any tax obligations arising from tips.

7.7 No Marketplace, No Digital Goods, No In-App Purchases

Niopub is not a marketplace and does not facilitate the sale or purchase of any goods, services, digital content, or in-app features. Tips are purely voluntary person-to-person monetary gifts between users and do not constitute a commercial transaction. No digital goods, premium content, subscriptions, features, or enhanced access of any kind are exchanged in connection with tips. The Service operates identically for all users regardless of whether they send or receive tips. Tips are not in-app purchases as defined by any app store platform. No app store payment system is required or applicable to process tips, as tips constitute direct person-to-person monetary gifts unrelated to any digital goods or services.

8. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to:

  • Supply prohibited context (Section 5.4);
  • Use Agents for harassment, threats, doxxing, or abuse;

  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, or collect data from the Service by automated means;
