1. What Atlas is
Atlas is a character-chat platform for teenagers, built parent-first. Teens talk with fictional AI characters; parents hold the family account and see wellbeing trends — never the words. By creating an account or using Atlas you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
Atlas characters are fictional AI. Atlas is not therapy, not counseling, not medical or mental-health advice, and not an emergency service. If you or someone you know is in crisis or thinking about self-harm, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, US) or your local emergency number right away.
A note required by law and by honesty: AI companion chat may not be suitable for some minors. Characters are computer programs — they are not people, they do not have feelings, and their replies can be wrong. Atlas layers safety systems over every conversation, but no safety system is perfect. That is why a parent or guardian is at the helm of every family account.
2. Who can use Atlas
- Teens aged 13–17 may use Atlas only through a family account created by their parent or legal guardian, joined with the invite code that parent generates.
- The parent or legal guardian is the account holder, must be 18 or older, and is responsible for the family account and for supervising its use. By creating a family account you confirm you are the parent or legal guardian of the teens you invite.
- Children under 13 may not use Atlas.
- Adults do not chat on Atlas except staff-published demonstration characters; the product is designed for supervised teen use.
3. Accounts and sign-in
- Atlas has no passwords. Parents sign in with one-time email codes; teens join with a single-use invite code from their parent, and can optionally link an email for sign-in.
- You are responsible for keeping invite codes and access to your email account safe. Tell us promptly if you believe an account has been accessed without permission.
- Parents can see their linked teens, wellbeing trends, and usage from the parent dashboard at any time — that visibility is a core feature of the product, not an option we add later.
4. Safety features — what they are and are not
- Every character reply passes through an emotional-safety layer designed to keep conversations supportive and age-appropriate.
- If a conversation shows signs of serious distress, Atlas is designed to stop role-play, show supportive crisis resources (including 988), and notify the linked parent.
- These systems reduce risk; they do not eliminate it, and they are not a diagnosis of anything. Parents remain responsible for their teen's wellbeing and should treat Atlas signals as a prompt for a real conversation, not a medical assessment.
5. Community characters
- Teens may design characters. A teen-created character is reviewed and approved by their own linked parent before it can be used, and is visible only to that family unless the Atlas team approves it for the public library.
- Characters must not impersonate real people, promote self-harm, violence, hatred, sexual content involving minors, drugs, or illegal activity, or attempt to bypass Atlas safety systems.
- We may remove any character or submission that violates these rules, and may suspend accounts that repeatedly try to break them.
6. Acceptable use
Do not attempt to break, probe, or bypass Atlas safety systems or authentication; do not scrape or copy the service; do not upload malicious content; do not use Atlas to harass anyone; do not use another family's codes or accounts.
7. Your content and our service
- Conversations are never stored on Atlas servers — they exist only in memory during an active session (see the Privacy Policy for exactly what is and isn't kept).
- Character definitions your family creates stay yours; you give us permission to host and display them inside Atlas as the product requires.
- Atlas, its characters, design, and software are our property or our licensors'. The service is provided "as is" during the alpha; we may change, suspend, or discontinue features as it evolves.
8. Termination
- Parents may close the family account at any time — from the profile page you can file a deletion request (how deletion works) and we will remove the family's accounts and data as described in the Privacy Policy.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, put other users at risk, or abuse the service. Where reasonable we will tell the account-holding parent why.
9. Disclaimers and limits
To the fullest extent the law allows, Atlas is provided without warranties of any kind, and our liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim (currently $0 during the free alpha). Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA.
10. Changes and contact
If we change these Terms in a way that matters, we will tell account-holding parents by email and note the new date at the top of this page. Questions: legal@corvionsystems.com.
