Terms of Service

Upon purchase, EPIC grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software for personal or commercial creative writing purposes. This is a one-time purchase — no subscription is required.

Your license permits activation on up to three (3) devices that you own or control (e.g., desktop, laptop, and a secondary workstation). The license is granted to you as an individual and may not be shared, resold, sublicensed, or transferred to another person or entity.

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software. You may not modify, adapt, or create derivative works based on the Software. You may not remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices or labels on the Software.

Your license includes free updates for the major version purchased. For example, if you purchase EPIC v1, you will receive all v1.x updates at no additional cost. These updates may include bug fixes, performance improvements, and minor feature additions.

New major versions (e.g., v2, v3) are separate products and may require a paid upgrade. Existing license holders will be offered a discounted upgrade price. You are never required to upgrade — your current version will continue to function indefinitely.

You own everything you create. All stories, manuscripts, world-building data, maps, characters, notes, diagrams, and any other content you create using the Software remains your sole intellectual property. EPIC claims no ownership, license, or rights of any kind over your content.

We will never access, read, collect, or monetize your creative work. Your content is yours — fully, unconditionally, and forever.

The Software includes AI-powered features such as The Oracle (writing assistant) and The Illustrator (image generation) that integrate with third-party AI providers. You own all output generated by these AI features within the Software, subject to the following:

AI-generated content may also be subject to the terms of the underlying AI provider (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Stability AI). We encourage you to review the applicable provider's terms for any additional conditions on commercial use.

Please note that the copyrightability of purely AI-generated content is an evolving area of law. Content that is substantially directed, curated, or edited by you is more likely to be eligible for copyright protection. EPIC makes no legal guarantees regarding the copyright status of AI-generated output.

AI features require your own API keys for third-party providers. EPIC does not provide, store, or have access to your API keys. Usage costs from third-party AI providers are your responsibility and are separate from the EPIC license fee.

EPIC is a desktop application that stores all data locally on your device. Your stories, world-building data, maps, images, notes, and all other content are saved to your local file system. We do not operate cloud servers that store your content, and we have no ability to access your files.

You are solely responsible for backing up your data. We strongly recommend maintaining regular backups of your project files. EPIC is not liable for any loss of data due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, software errors, or any other cause.

For information about what limited data we do collect (e.g., account information for license validation), please review our Privacy Policy.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase. If you are not satisfied with the Software for any reason, you may request a full refund within 30 days of your purchase by contacting our support team.

Upon receiving a refund, your license will be revoked and you must uninstall the Software from all devices. Refund requests made after the 30-day period will be considered on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion.

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and account information. All payments are processed through our third-party payment provider. Credit card information is always encrypted during transfer and is never stored by EPIC.

We reserve the right to refuse any order placed with us. In the event that we cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you using the email address provided at the time of purchase.

The Software integrates with third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others) to power features like The Oracle and The Illustrator. These integrations require you to provide your own API keys and are subject to the respective provider's terms of service and usage policies.

EPIC is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party AI services. We provide access to these integrations “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. Any costs incurred through third-party providers are solely your responsibility.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party sites and recommend reviewing their terms before engaging with them.

You may not use the Software or our services: (a) for any unlawful purpose; (b) to violate any international, federal, provincial or state regulations, rules, laws, or local ordinances; (c) to infringe upon or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others; (d) to transmit viruses or any other type of malicious code; (e) to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software; (f) to redistribute, resell, or sublicense the Software or your license key; or (g) to circumvent any license validation or security features of the Software. We reserve the right to revoke your license for violating any of these prohibited uses.

If you provide us with feedback, suggestions, ideas, or proposals regarding the Software or our services (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant us the right to use such Feedback without restriction or compensation to you. We are under no obligation to maintain Feedback in confidence, implement any Feedback, or compensate you for it.

We are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete or current. The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for making decisions. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk.

We reserve the right to modify the contents of this site at any time, including product descriptions and pricing, but we have no obligation to update any information. It is your responsibility to monitor changes to our site.

The Software is provided “as is” and “as available” without any representation, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with all hardware configurations. We do not warrant that any errors in the Software will be corrected, though we endeavor to address reported issues in future updates.

In no case shall EPIC, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of or inability to use the Software. In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, our liability shall be limited to the amount you paid for the license.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless EPIC and our affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, and employees from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Service, your use of the Software, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party.

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

Your license is perpetual so long as you comply with these Terms of Service. If you breach any term or provision of this agreement, we may revoke your license and deny you access to future updates or purchases without notice.

You may terminate this agreement at any time by uninstalling the Software from all devices and ceasing to use it. Upon termination for any reason, the provisions regarding intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, shall remain in effect.

The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms of Service and any policies posted on our site constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and us (including any prior versions of these Terms of Service).

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws.

You can review the most current version of these Terms of Service at any time on this page. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates to our website. It is your responsibility to check periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Software or our website following the posting of any updates constitutes acceptance of those changes.
