Terms of Service

Effective November 6, 2026. These Terms are an agreement between you and Hibira, the trade name of an individual business operator (sole trader) based in Taiwan ("Hibira", "we"; the operator's name is given without delay on request), for your use of Gaya: the gaya.hibira.io website, its Android and iPhone apps and its MCP server (together, "Gaya"). Our Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy are part of these Terms.

1. Who can use Gaya

  1. Gaya is only for people who are 18 or older and old enough to make a binding contract where they live. You confirm this the first time you open or write in a room. We close accounts we learn belong to someone younger, and may ask you to confirm your age again if we have reason to doubt it.
  2. You sign in with Google, GitHub, Apple or an email link. One account is for one person. You are responsible for what happens under your account, so keep access to your email and sign-in accounts safe, and tell us at security@hibira.io if you think someone else got in.
  3. You may not use Gaya if the law where you live forbids it, or if we closed an earlier account of yours for breaking these Terms.

2. What Gaya is

  1. In a Gaya room, a group of AI personas discusses your question live, people you invite can join in, and the room can end with a verdict card. Personas are fictional characters played by AI models. They are not real people, and nobody at Hibira writes their replies. Gaya is a discussion tool, not a companion, dating or relationship service.
  2. Personas may look things up on the web, and on paid plans may use tools you connect yourself (section 6). Web results and tool results come from third parties we do not control.
  3. We may change, add or remove features. We will give at least 30 days' notice before removing a feature that paid plans include. Gaya may be unavailable during maintenance, a security incident, or when a provider we rely on fails. Features marked as a preview or beta may change or stop working at any time.
  4. That's What They Said lets you upload a group chat you are a member of (an export or screenshots) or one of your Gaya rooms and get a report in which the personas read it. A report is the AI's reading of the chat, not a statement of fact about the people in it.

3. AI replies are not advice

  1. Replies, polls and verdicts are generated by AI models (Claude, from Anthropic, and Amazon Nova, run on Amazon Bedrock). They can be wrong, out of date, one-sided or made up, even when they sound sure, and different personas will disagree on purpose.
  2. Nothing in Gaya is medical, mental-health, legal, financial, tax, investment or other professional advice, and a verdict is not a decision made for you. Check what matters with a qualified professional, and make your own decisions.
  3. If you are in danger, or thinking about hurting yourself or someone else, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line now. Gaya cannot help in an emergency.
  4. As between you and us, you may use what the personas write for you in any lawful way. Others may get similar replies, and you are responsible for how you use them.
  5. Share pages, share pictures and reports say that they were made by AI. Keep that label when you pass them on, and do not present AI content as written by a person.

4. Rooms, sharing and Explore

  1. The person who opens a room is its host. The host chooses who can read it: only the people in it (the default), anyone with the link, or anyone with the link with the room also listed on Explore.
  2. A room shared by link can be read by anyone who has the link, without signing in. A room listed on Explore can be found by anyone, and search engines may index it. Readers see the question, the messages, photos, videos, polls and the verdict; people appear by first name only.
  3. Making a room private again disables its share link and share picture and removes it from Explore at once, but we cannot recall copies others already made, such as screenshots or search engine caches.
  4. Everyone who joins a room can read what is written in it, including what was written before they joined. Think before you post anything private about yourself or someone else.
  5. The host can mute, remove or block people in a room, close it, archive it or delete it. Deleting a room deletes its messages, verdict and files for everyone.

5. Your content

  1. You keep the rights to what you write, upload or import ("your content"). You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, copy, process and show your content only to run Gaya: to show it to the people who can read the room, to send it to the AI models, web search and tools that produce replies, to make share pictures and, for rooms on Explore, to show it publicly. The license ends when your content is deleted, except for copies we must keep by law or that others already shared.
  2. We do not use your content to train AI models, and Amazon Bedrock does not use it to train models either.
  3. You must have the right to share your content. When you upload photos, videos or imported chats, or write about other people, make sure you are allowed to share them and keep other people's personal details to what the discussion needs.
  4. "Your memory" lets you paste or upload exports from other AI assistants so personas know your background. Such exports can contain other people's personal data. We send what you import to an AI model to sum it up into a few lines; you review and edit those lines, and we keep only what you save. You can delete it at any time on the Memory page.
  5. Personas may keep short notes about the host from the host's own messages, to bring to the next room. You can see and delete them on the Memory page, and turn memory off for a room.
  6. You may create your own personas, with a name, description, photo and instructions. The persona rules in the Acceptable Use Policy apply: in particular, no persona may present itself as a real living person or use their photo without their permission.
  7. If you share a persona by link or on Explore, you let other users read it and add a copy to their own personas, which they may then change and use in their rooms. Making a persona private again stops new copies; copies already made stay with their owners.

6. Tools you connect

  1. On paid plans you may connect GitHub, Notion or your own MCP server so personas can call its read-only tools in the rooms you choose.
  2. You authorize Gaya to call those tools on your behalf. What a tool returns is sent to the AI models and may appear in the room, where everyone who can read the room sees it. Connect only tools whose data you are allowed to share with the people in those rooms.
  3. The service behind a tool is run by a third party under its own terms. We are not responsible for it, and we may block a tool that is unsafe or abused.
  4. You can disconnect a tool at any time on your account page; we then delete its stored access token.

7. Acceptable use

You must not use Gaya to:

  1. post or ask for sexual content, or any content that sexualizes, grooms or exploits a child;
  2. post unlawful, infringing, defamatory, hateful, harassing or threatening content, or personal data of others without the right to share it;
  3. plan or encourage violence, terrorism, self-harm, fraud or other crimes;
  4. pass off AI replies as the words of a real person, or use them to deceive, impersonate or manipulate others;
  5. upload malware, attack, overload or scrape Gaya, get around limits, or open many accounts to collect free AI replies;
  6. break the acceptable use rules of the AI model makers, or export control and sanctions laws.

The Acceptable Use Policy sets out these rules in more detail, with the rules for personas. Anyone who can read a room can report a message or the room. Photos and video frames are checked automatically before they are stored. We may remove content, make a room private, delete it, or suspend or close an account that breaks this section. Unless the risk is urgent, we tell you first, with our reasons, and you can appeal as that policy describes. Report abuse to abuse@hibira.io; copyright complaints go to legal@hibira.io.

8. AI replies, plans and payment

  1. AI messages in a room are paid with AI replies from the host's balance: each AI message takes one, and a persona's web search takes the number shown on the pricing page. Your own messages are free, and joining someone else's room is free. When the host's balance runs out, the personas stop until it is topped up.
  2. New accounts get free AI replies at sign-up and each month, as set out on the pricing page. Free and promotional replies have no cash value.
  3. Plus, Pro and Max are subscriptions, billed monthly or yearly in advance, in US dollars. Each adds its AI replies every month, yearly plans too. Reply packs and That's What They Said reports are one-off purchases. The price and total, including any tax, are shown before you pay.
  4. Purchases are sold and processed by Creem (Armitage Labs OÜ, Estonia), our merchant of record and reseller, which handles payment, receipts and sales tax; its checkout terms also apply to the purchase. We never see or store your full card number. Nothing is sold inside the Android or iPhone apps; purchases are made on the website and work everywhere.
  5. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time on your account page; your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for and is not charged again.
  6. AI replies you bought or received do not expire while your account is open. They cannot be transferred or exchanged for money, and they lapse when your account is closed.
  7. We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice. A new price applies from your next billing period after the notice.
  8. Refunds follow our Refund Policy. If a payment fails, the subscription ends after Creem's retries, and the AI replies you already have stay yours.

9. Emails and notifications

We email you sign-in links, receipts and important notices about your account and these Terms. If you turn notifications on, we also send push or email notices when someone replies in your rooms while you are away; you can turn those off on your account page.

10. Ending your account

  1. You can stop using Gaya at any time, and delete your account yourself on the account page (Delete account), or by emailing support@hibira.io from its email address. Rooms you host are deleted with it. A paid plan ends at once, without a refund for the rest of the period.
  2. We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other people. Unless the risk is urgent, we tell you first and give you a chance to fix it.
  3. We may end Gaya with at least 60 days' notice. We then refund the unused part of prepaid subscription periods and the value of reply packs you bought and have not used.

11. Our rights

We own Gaya, its name, logo, personas and design. Open-source parts are licensed under their own licenses. If you send us feedback, we may use it freely.

12. Warranties and liability

  1. Apart from what these Terms say, Gaya is provided "as is", without warranties that it is accurate, uninterrupted or fit for a particular purpose, as far as the law allows.
  2. We are not liable for decisions you make based on AI replies, for content posted by other people, or for third-party tools and websites.
  3. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits or lost data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before it, or USD 50 if you paid nothing.
  4. These limits do not apply to damage caused by our willful misconduct or gross negligence, to death or personal injury we cause, or where the law does not allow them, including the consumer protection law that applies to you (for example Taiwan's Consumer Protection Act or Japan's Consumer Contract Act).
  5. You are responsible for claims by others arising from your content or your breach of section 7, as far as the law allows.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms for good reason, such as to add features, to reflect changes in the law or to prevent abuse. We publish the new Terms with their effective date. For changes that are material to you, we tell you by email or in Gaya at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you may stop using Gaya and cancel before then; if you keep using it after that date, the new Terms apply.

14. General

  1. These Terms are governed by the laws of Taiwan (Republic of China). The Taiwan Taipei District Court has jurisdiction in the first instance. This does not take away mandatory consumer or data protection rights you have where you live, including the right to bring a claim in your own courts.
  2. We are not liable for delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
  3. You may not transfer these Terms. We may transfer them to a successor of Gaya after telling you.
  4. If a part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Not enforcing a right is not a waiver.
  5. The English version controls over translations, unless the law where you live says otherwise.
  6. Contact: support@hibira.io. Legal notices: legal@hibira.io. Our address and phone number are given without delay on request.
