Terms of Service

Effective: 2026-07-09 · Last Updated: 2026-08-08

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of The Inner Circle Curriculum (the "Service"), operated by Inner Circle ("we", "us", "our").

By using GameBoy (including the free trial), creating an account, completing checkout, or accessing any paid content, you agree to these Terms.

1. Eligibility

You must be 18 years of age or older. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18.

GameBoy — the free trial, subscriptions and reply credits — is available internationally. The Inner Circle Curriculum coaching program is currently offered only to residents of the United States, Canada and Australia. We may change where each product is offered.

2. Account & Authentication

The Service uses passwordless magic-link authentication. You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your email account (anyone with access to your inbox can sign in to the Service)
• Notifying us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access

We may suspend or terminate access if we detect credential sharing, automated abuse, or violation of these Terms.

3. What You're Buying: Programs, Subscriptions & Credits

We offer three kinds of products: multi-week coaching programs (Entry, Core, Elite), monthly auto-renewing GameBoy subscriptions, and a one-time credit pack. This section describes each.

3.0 Programs (Entry, Core, Elite)

Each program tier is a one-time purchase OR an installment plan that totals the same one-time price (no auto-renewal beyond the disclosed installment count).

3.1 Bifurcated entitlement (read carefully)

The Service intentionally separates two access dimensions:

• Coaching access is time-bounded. After your coaching window expires, you lose access to: 1-on-1 sessions, group calls, the in-app Community chat, and the GameBoy AI drafting tool with personalized context.
• Content access is lifetime. You retain access to the Frameworks library (videos + module summaries) and your personal Profile page indefinitely, regardless of coaching expiry.

Renewing your coaching access is optional, not automatic. We do not auto-charge you after your installment plan completes.

3.2 What's NOT included (scope limits)

• No outcome guarantees. No specific result is promised. The Service is educational. Some members improve their dating outcomes; some don't. Results not guaranteed. For educational purposes only.
• No medical, legal, or therapeutic advice. GameBoy is a drafting tool, not a therapist. If you are in a crisis (suicidal ideation, domestic violence, abuse), the Service is required to surface resource hotlines and refuse to draft a reply.
• No 24/7 availability. Group calls are weekly; 1-on-1s are by appointment within your coaching window.

3.3 GameBoy Subscriptions

Separately from the programs above, we offer GameBoy, an AI text-drafting tool, as a standalone monthly subscription. GameBoy subscriptions are billed monthly in USD via Stripe:

3.4 Automatic Renewal & Cancellation

GameBoy subscriptions automatically renew each month at the stated price until you cancel. By subscribing, you authorize us (via Stripe) to charge your payment method the stated monthly amount at the start of each billing cycle until you cancel. No trial or introductory rate converts to a different price; you are billed the plan price shown at checkout.

You can cancel at any time from your account dashboard (the in-app billing panel or the Stripe customer portal). When you cancel, your subscription does not renew again, and your GameBoy access continues through the end of the billing period you have already paid for. After that period ends, access stops and you are not charged again unless you choose to resubscribe.

3.5 Credit Pack (one-time)

We also offer a one-time credit pack: $8 for 25 GameBoy credits. The credit pack is a single purchase, not a subscription. It does not auto-renew and never triggers a recurring or automatic charge. Credits do not expire. The credit pack is non-refundable (see §4.3).

4. Payment, Cancellation & Refunds

4.1 Pricing

Prices in USD, charged at checkout via Stripe in live mode. By completing checkout you authorize us (via Stripe) to charge your payment method for the agreed amount.

4.2 Installment plans

Installment plans are implemented as Stripe subscriptions with a hard cancellation date set at checkout. After the final installment cycle, Stripe automatically cancels the subscription. We do not bill you again after the disclosed installment count.

4.3 Refunds: all sales are final

All sales are final. We do not offer refunds. This applies to every product we sell:

• Credit packs are non-refundable. Once purchased, the $8 / 25-credit pack cannot be refunded, in whole or in part, including for unused credits.
• GameBoy subscriptions can be cancelled at any time from your account dashboard. When you cancel, your access continues through the end of the billing period you have already paid for, and you are not charged again. We do not prorate or issue partial refunds for the remainder of a paid period, and we do not refund monthly charges that have already been billed.
• Programs (Entry, Core, Elite) are likewise sold on an all-sales-final basis.

You are never charged again after you cancel unless you choose to resubscribe. If you believe you were charged in genuine error (for example, a duplicate charge or a confirmed technical failure), email [email protected] with subject "billing issue" and your order ID (visible in your Stripe receipt), and we will review it in good faith. Reviewing a billing error is a courtesy and does not create a refund entitlement.

4.4 Chargebacks

Filing a chargeback ("dispute") with your bank without first contacting us is a violation of these Terms. We reserve the right to:

• Provide your full transaction history and these Terms to your card network as evidence
• Permanently terminate your account upon chargeback determination
• Revoke both coaching AND content access if chargeback is upheld

This is non-negotiable — at $3,500–$9,800 ticket size, chargeback fraud is a meaningful operational risk and we treat it accordingly.

4.5 Failed payments (installments only)

• Day 0: we email you. Coaching access continues.
• Day 3: we email you again. If still unpaid, your status flips to "past due". Coaching access continues for a 7-day grace.
• Day 10: if still unpaid, coaching access is paused. Content access is preserved.
• You can resume by paying the outstanding balance via the Stripe Customer Portal or by re-initiating checkout for the same tier.

5. Conduct & Acceptable Use

5.1 Your account and the Service

You agree NOT to:

• Share your account credentials, magic links, or active sessions with anyone else
• Post content in the Community chat that violates US law (CSAM, threats of violence, copyright infringement, etc.)
• Reverse-engineer, copy, mirror, or republish the Frameworks library content (videos, module summaries, quizzes) outside of the Service. The content is licensed for your personal use only.
• Automate access (scrape, bot, mass-download) without our prior written permission
• Attempt to extract, reconstruct, or republish the GameBoy system prompts, model instructions, or reply banks
• Use the GameBoy AI drafting tool to generate content for any purpose other than drafting your own personal text-message replies

5.2 The person you are texting

When this section applies to you. Sections 5.2 to 5.5 were added on 2026-08-08. They apply immediately to anyone who accepts these Terms on or after that date. If you agreed to an earlier version of these Terms, they apply to you from 2026-09-07, which is the 30 days' notice §13 requires. Nothing in them permits conduct that was previously allowed.

GameBoy helps you write messages to a real person who is not a party to these Terms and has not agreed to anything. You are responsible for every message you send. You agree NOT to use the Service, or any output of it, to:

• Harass, threaten, intimidate, stalk, or abuse anyone — whether or not they are a member
• Continue contacting someone after they have asked you to stop, blocked you, or otherwise withdrawn consent to contact, or to reach them through friends, family, or another account in order to get around that
• Pressure, negotiate, or wear down a person who has said no or set a boundary, or to treat a refusal as something to be reframed, deferred, or asked again later
• Threaten or attempt to expose, publish, or share intimate images, private messages, or personal information, or to use any of those as leverage of any kind
• Track, monitor, surveil, or locate a person, or to imply to them that you are doing so
• Impair someone's ability to consent, including by supplying alcohol or any substance for that purpose
• Arrange to be physically present with someone against their stated wishes, or to announce your arrival after being told not to come
• Deceive someone about who you are, your age, or a material fact in order to obtain contact, intimacy, money, or images
• Draft messages to anyone under 18, or to any person where the contact would be unlawful

5.3 Our right to refuse or modify output

GameBoy is an automated drafting tool and its output is not reviewed by a human before you see it. We may refuse to generate a reply, withhold or alter individual drafts, or return fewer drafts than usual — automatically or manually, at any time and without notice — where we consider a request or an output to fall within §5.2, to concern a person in crisis or at risk, to involve a minor, or otherwise to be unlawful or harmful. We do this on a best-efforts basis using automated filters. Those filters are not guaranteed to catch everything, and the fact that GameBoy produced a draft is not our endorsement of it or advice that you send it. What you send is your decision and your responsibility.

5.4 Reporting abuse (including if you are not a user)

If you believe someone is using the Service to harass, threaten, or otherwise harm you or another person, you can report it to [email protected]. You do not need to be a member or a user of the Service to make a report. Tell us what happened and include anything that helps us identify the account, such as the sender's phone number, email address, or screenshots. We will review reports we receive and may remove content, suspend or terminate accounts, or contact law enforcement. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.

5.5 Enforcement

We may suspend or terminate access for violations of this section, with or without notice, and we may do so on a single incident where the conduct is serious. Egregious violations (CSAM, credible threats of violence) are reported to law enforcement. Termination for a violation of §5.2 does not entitle you to a refund.

6. Intellectual Property

All content within the Service — videos, module summaries, quizzes, GameBoy prompts, frameworks, and the brand "MasterSeducer28" / "The Inner Circle Curriculum" — is owned by us or licensed to us. Members receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access the content for personal use only.

You retain ownership of content you submit (onboarding answers, profile entries, Community messages, GameBoy inputs). By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive license to display it within the Service to you (and to other members in the case of Community messages).

6.1 DMCA & Copyright Notices (Community content)

The Community chat may contain content submitted by members. We respect copyright and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you believe content within the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location within the Service, your contact information, and the required good-faith and accuracy statements (including your signature).

Designated Copyright Agent: [COUNSEL — DMCA designated agent pending registration]. Until a registered agent is designated, DMCA notices may be sent to [email protected] with the subject line "DMCA notice". We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material and, in appropriate cases, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

7. AI Disclosure

The GameBoy drafting tool is an AI system. It is not a human coach.

• GameBoy will identify itself as "an AI trained on MasterSeducer28's frameworks" when asked. It will NEVER claim to be MasterSeducer28, claim to be human, or claim continuity of memory between requests.
• GameBoy outputs are AI-generated draft text-message replies. We do not represent that they will achieve any particular outcome with the recipient.
• Your drafting request is sent to our AI provider to generate the drafts. Full details of the processors involved are in the Privacy Policy §3.
• We retain an audit log of GameBoy inputs and outputs for up to 90 days for safety and abuse-detection purposes. Free-trial submissions and the drafts we return are retained for up to 365 days. Retention is described in full in the Privacy Policy §8.
• Free-trial submissions are used to improve the Service. Messages you submit through the free trial, together with the drafts we return, may be reviewed by us and used as reference and training examples that inform how the tool drafts future replies. We do not sell them and we do not provide them to third-party advertisers. See Privacy Policy §1.2.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any specific outcome will result from your use of the Service.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of: (A) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (B) one hundred US dollars ($100). We shall not be liable for indirect, consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or emotional distress, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, statute, or otherwise).

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any third-party claim arising from your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of any third party's rights.

11. Dispute Resolution

11.1 Informal resolution

Before filing any formal claim, please contact us at [email protected] with a description of the dispute. We will respond within 30 days. Most disputes are resolved at this stage.

11.2 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

11.3 Arbitration & class waiver

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be seated in California, and any court proceeding permitted under this section shall take place in California. Class actions, class arbitrations, and representative claims are waived to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] with subject "arbitration opt-out" within 30 days of accepting these Terms.

12. Termination

We may terminate your access immediately for material breach of these Terms (chargeback fraud, ToS violations, automation/scraping). Upon termination:

• Coaching access ends immediately
• Content access ends if termination is for cause (chargeback, fraud, conduct violation)
• Your data is handled per the Privacy Policy §6

You may terminate your account at any time by emailing us or, for a GameBoy subscription, by cancelling in your account dashboard. Termination does not entitle you to a refund; all sales are final (see §4.3).

13. Changes to These Terms

We will notify you by email at least 30 days before any material change to these Terms takes effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

14. Contact
