Canadian draft for review

Terms of Use — draft

These documents are drafts with no effective date. The Canadian service is being prepared; these pages do not accept participation, consent or contracts. Operator details, contact information and operational arrangements must be confirmed before opening.

Draft version: 2026-10-15.draft-v2

Terms of Use — invitation-only Canadian pilot

DRAFT — NOT IN EFFECT. Working version 2026-10-15.draft-v2, prepared for review by the operator and by a lawyer licensed in Quebec. These terms are neither an offer nor legal advice, cannot be accepted and do not authorize any collection. The service is closed. Items marked [TO CONFIRM] are facts or choices that have not been validated yet.

1. Operator and purpose

The service is operated by Cleiton Wiggers Werncke, as an individual (no business has been incorporated yet), at 205 Rue Guillaume Barrette, La Prairie, QC J5R 6L7, Canada. Support and privacy: cleitonwi@gmail.com. Business name and registration, if any: [TO CONFIRM — P01]. Public brand and domain: [TO CONFIRM — P02].

These terms govern use of the service during the assisted pilot: collecting a narrator’s memories, shaping them and preparing a book. The terms are separate from the consents set out in the privacy policy; accepting them is not consent to the collection of your memories.

2. Definitions

  • Organizer: the person who creates and coordinates the project, chooses the questions and approves the book.
  • Narrator: the person who tells their memories.
  • Project: all the questions, responses, stories and settings related to one book.
  • Response: the audio recordings and text submitted for a question.
  • Story: the text prepared from a response, with its editorial title.
  • Book: the layout, 16 cm wide by 23 cm high, in portrait orientation, assembled from the approved stories.

3. Eligibility and pilot

The pilot is assisted and available by invitation only, in Canada. Each participant must have reached the age of majority in their province or territory of residence and be able to understand and accept these terms for themselves, even when receiving practical help. The service is not intended for children.

The pilot includes no real sale, no subscription, no commercial printing and no publication. It may be changed, limited or suspended for reasons of security, quality or the end of the pilot, as set out in section 15.

4. Separate roles

The organizer:

  • creates the project and chooses questions from a bank of prepared questions;
  • sets the sending pace and shares the initial invitation with the narrator;
  • warrants that they are authorized to share the narrator’s contact details with us;
  • reviews submitted responses and approves the book.

The organizer cannot consent on the narrator’s behalf, obtain the narrator’s private access link or see the narrator’s drafts.

The narrator chooses whether to take part, chooses their notice channels, decides what to submit and may stop at any time. Requests about their personal information do not require the organizer’s agreement.

5. Access and private links

Access is provided through links sent by email or SMS. A private access link is valid for 30 days, can be renewed and can be revoked. Anyone who holds the link can act with its permissions: do not forward it, and report its loss so it can be revoked. An invitation is not access to collection: private access is sent only after acceptance.

6. Collecting responses

  • Only one question is active at a time. The question asked stays visible.
  • You can record audio, type text or combine both, up to 60 minutes of audio per response.
  • Pausing ends a take; resuming creates a new one, in order. You can listen to and delete a take before submitting.
  • Drafts are saved privately on your device and on the server. Saving them does not start transcription or AI processing and does not make them visible to the organizer.
  • The “Send response” button confirms the response and authorizes the processing explained in the privacy policy.
  • Ordinary questions can be skipped. The five opening questions are used for the prologue and follow one another; you may nevertheless stop participating rather than answer them.

Recording requires the page to stay open. An interruption of the browser, device or network may leave a take incomplete. The service never silently turns an incomplete take into a response: it tells you.

7. Processing and editorial review

After submission, AI transcribes the recordings and helps write a story, which people review. AI does not conduct autonomous interviews and does not choose the questions. Only one story is prepared per response, except the prologue, which is written from the five opening responses; the editorial title is separate from the question.

Original recordings are kept as submitted. The narrator can correct the story text; the version history is kept. Any change requires a new approval. Closing the book requires the organizer’s approval. A PDF or a layout is not an approved book.

8. Content and the rights of others

You are responsible for what you submit. Avoid:

  • unnecessary intimate information about other people;
  • recording other people’s voices without their agreement;
  • unverified accusations and defamatory statements;
  • documents or content you are not entitled to use.

Use pseudonyms where appropriate. You may leave out a sensitive detail or stop your response at any time. A person mentioned in a story may write to us directly. We may mask, remove or refuse reported content where the law or the protection of others requires it, and we will explain our decision.

9. Ownership and licence

The narrator keeps the rights they hold in their contributions. The narrator grants the operator a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence limited to the project, to save, copy, transcribe, edit and present their contributions to the project’s authorized people, and to produce the book. This licence:

  • does not authorize advertising, public publication or AI model training;
  • involves no transfer of ownership and no waiver of moral rights;
  • ends when the project’s needs end, subject to legal retention obligations.

Creating the project does not transfer the narrator’s rights to the organizer. The uses the organizer may make of the approved book (for example, private and family use) will be specified [TO CONFIRM — P17]. No exclusive right or copyright is guaranteed in text produced with AI assistance.

The software, the presentation of the service and the question bank belong to the operator or its licensors. You may use them only within the project.

10. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • use the service for unlawful purposes, harassment or impersonation;
  • attempt to access another project’s content or bypass a security measure;
  • automatically extract data from the service or introduce malicious code;
  • use the service to collect information about others without legal justification.

11. Email and SMS notices

Email and SMS are used only for service notices: invitation, private access, new question, reminders and story ready. They contain no advertising. Channel choices are independent and never pre-checked. At least one channel is needed to receive the initial private access; you may then stop one or both channels.

Notices may arrive immediately, including at night. At most two reminders are sent per question. Replying STOP or ARRÊT to an SMS, or using the unsubscribe link in an email, stops that channel without withdrawing your consent to collection and without deleting any content. An SMS reply is never treated as a response to the project.

12. Payment: test mode only

During the pilot, no real payment is collected. Any payment page shown is a Stripe test environment, in Canadian dollars: no card is charged and no contract of sale is formed. Do not enter real card details. A test payment does not approve the book, does not trigger any printing and does not create any right to a product.

The terms considered for possible future paid access are set out in Schedule A, for review only. They are not offered.

13. Privacy

The privacy policy explains the information collected, its purposes, the service providers, processing locations, retention and your rights. The cookie policy explains storage on your device.

14. Limits and liability

Transcription and AI can produce errors; they can be corrected. The service does not promise continuous availability or loss-free saving. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that the law does not allow to be excluded or limited, in particular toward a consumer, for gross or intentional fault, or for bodily or moral injury. The legal warranties you benefit from continue to apply.

15. Suspension and termination

You may stop participating at any time. The operator may suspend access in case of a security risk, a breach of these terms or the end of the pilot. Except in an emergency, the operator will notify you in advance and explain the consequences for your information, including the possibility of obtaining a copy. The end of the pilot does not extinguish pending rights requests.

16. Changes

Significant changes are communicated before they take effect, with at least 30 days’ notice where the law requires it, and new acceptance or new consent where required. A change does not apply retroactively.

17. Language

The French version is presented first. You may expressly choose to read and accept the English version. Both versions have the same content; a discrepancy cannot be interpreted to your disadvantage.

18. Governing law and recourse

These terms are governed by the laws of Quebec and the applicable federal laws, without depriving you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your province or territory of residence. There is no mandatory arbitration clause, class action waiver or waiver of legal recourse. You may apply to the competent courts of your place of residence where the law allows [TO CONFIRM — Q25].
