Terms of use · Privacy notice · Acceptable use
Legal
These terms govern your use of Once A Day AI, operated by Matthew Salinas (“Operator”) from a machine in Atlanta, Georgia. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, leave.
1. Nature of the service
Once A Day AI is an artwork and a limited public experiment operated as a sole proprietorship. It is not a newsroom, a professional practice, a marketplace, or a platform for organizing unlawful activity. Access to a language model is incidental to the piece: one question, then a mandatory wait.
The Operator does not sponsor, condone, or facilitate crime, terrorism, child sexual exploitation, or violence against any person. Satirical tone, carnival styling, and anti-establishment copy are aesthetic choices. They are not an invitation to break the law, and they do not alter these terms.
Use of the service does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship with the Operator. The Operator is not your lawyer, doctor, broker, or fiduciary.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, and legally able to form a contract in your place of residence, to use the service. If you use it on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
3. Acceptable use
You may submit a question for a personal, non-commercial reading of the work. You are solely responsible for what you ask and for how you use any output. You agree that you will not use the service, or any answer it returns, to commit, plan, solicit, or assist a crime, or to violate the rights of any person.
Automated scraping, load testing without written permission, attempts to bypass the wait, create accounts in bulk, or evade a refusal are prohibited. The Operator may refuse, delay, or ignore a request for any reason, including capacity and safety.
4. Prohibited subject matter
Independent of whatever a model might generate, the site applies its own rules. Requests that seek practical assistance with any of the following are refused and may still consume your wait:
- Sexual content involving minors, or the sexual exploitation of children
- The manufacture of explosives, firearms, or other weapons
- The synthesis or trafficking of controlled substances
- Malware, unauthorized intrusion, or theft of credentials or funds
- Fraud, phishing, or other schemes to deceive
- Threats, stalking, or the targeting of a specific person for violence
A refusal is not a finding of guilt and is not legal advice. House filters are imperfect: a request may be blocked in error, or an answer may still be incomplete or unsafe. Repeat attempts to obtain prohibited assistance may result in a permanent ban.
5. Outputs and reliance
Answers are machine-generated text produced in response to your prompt. They may be wrong, outdated, incomplete, offensive, or invented. They are not medical, legal, financial, engineering, or other professional advice, and they are not a substitute for a licensed practitioner who knows your facts. Do not rely on an answer as the basis for a health, safety, legal, or money decision. If you are in danger or in a crisis, contact local emergency services.
The Operator does not undertake a duty to monitor, review, or verify every submission or every output. Automated house rules may refuse a request. Absence of a refusal is not approval of the question or of any action you take afterward. You remain solely responsible for evaluating outputs before you act on them.
6. Guests, accounts, and waits
Guests may use the service without an account. Guest waits may be enforced by a browser cookie and by the public network address from which the request arrives. People on the same network may therefore share a wait. An account, if you create one, has its own wait clock.
You must keep your password confidential. The Operator does not promise uninterrupted access, a particular model, or that any given question will receive an answer.
7. Paid waits
Optional paid seats shorten the wait. They are satirical in spirit and binding in commerce: if you pay, you are buying a shorter interval, nothing else. Charges are processed by Stripe. Prices are stated in United States dollars before tax. Applicable sales tax may be collected where the Operator is required to do so.
Subscriptions renew until you cancel through the billing portal. Unless the law of your jurisdiction requires otherwise, fees are non-refundable once the shortened wait is available to your account. Chargebacks submitted in bad faith may result in termination.
8. Questions and records
When you spin, the Operator stores the question, the answer or refusal, the time, a coarse identity (guest cookie or account), and a one-way hash of the network address. That record lives on the Operator’s machine in Atlanta. It is used to enforce the wait, operate the public spin count, and keep the house rules.
Do not submit secrets you cannot afford to store: passwords, payment numbers, government identifiers, or another person’s private data. The Operator is not a HIPAA-covered entity, a bank, or a lawyer’s office, and does not treat submissions as privileged.
Account email is used to sign you in and, if you pay, to receive receipts from the payment processor. The Operator does not sell your questions or your email to advertisers, and does not use them to train a public model.
The service is not directed to children under 13, and accounts are limited to adults. If you believe a child’s information was submitted, write to the Operator so it can be deleted.
9. Third-party processors
Payments are handled by Stripe, Inc. Card numbers are collected by Stripe, not by this site. Stripe’s terms and privacy notice apply to that processing. The Operator may receive your email, billing country, subscription status, and payment confirmation in order to attach a paid wait to your account.
Generating an answer requires sending your question to a remote inference service chosen by the Operator. That provider processes the prompt in order to return text. The Operator does not control that provider’s independent logs or policies. Do not submit information you would not send to a third-party processor.
The public site may be reached through hosting, DNS, and content delivery vendors. Those vendors may see technical data such as IP address, user agent, and request timing as part of ordinary operation.
10. Intellectual property
The site, the cabinet, the copy, and the name Once A Day AI are works of the Operator. You keep whatever rights you already have in the question you type. You grant the Operator a non-exclusive license to store that question and to generate and display an answer in order to run the piece. You do not acquire any ownership in the model, the software, or the Operator’s marks.
If you believe material on this site infringes a copyright you own, send a notice that identifies the work, the URL, your contact information, and a statement made under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act, to the Operator at the address in section 16. The Operator may remove material and terminate repeat infringers.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. The Operator does not warrant that answers are accurate, complete, current, or safe to follow, or that the site will be free of errors or interruption.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. THE OPERATOR’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO THE OPERATOR IN THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) TWENTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS.
Some places do not allow certain limitations. In those places, the limitation applies to the maximum extent allowed.
13. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify the Operator against claims, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising from your questions, your use of outputs, or your breach of these terms, except to the extent a court finds the Operator solely at fault.
14. Suspension and changes
The Operator may suspend or end access, delete an account, or refuse a paid seat if these terms are broken or if the piece cannot be operated in good faith. The Operator may change the model, the wait, the prices, or these terms. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after that date is acceptance.
15. General
If a court finds any provision unenforceable, the remaining terms still apply. The Operator’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these terms; the Operator may assign them in connection with a transfer of the work or the machine that hosts it.
These terms, together with any checkout page you accept when you pay, are the entire agreement between you and the Operator about the service. They supersede prior statements about how the site works, including marketing copy and the About page.
Headings are for convenience only. The English text controls. Nothing in these terms limits a non-waivable right you have under the law of your place of residence.
16. Governing law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Exclusive venue for disputes that cannot be resolved informally lies in the state or federal courts sitting in Georgia, except where applicable law requires otherwise for a consumer.
