4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the Service. Misuse includes, without limitation, attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with the operation of the Service, scraping content at scale, transmitting malware, or using the Service in a way that violates applicable law or the rights of others.
You agree to comply with our Community Guidelines and Content & Copyright Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
5. Content You Post
The Service allows you to post content, including stories, chapters, scripts, comments, and other materials ("Your Content"). You retain all rights in Your Content that you hold under applicable law.
By posting Your Content, you grant Be Morpheus a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute Your Content solely to operate, provide, and improve the Service. This license does not grant us ownership of Your Content and does not permit us to sell Your Content to third parties.

6. AI-Assisted Writing Features
Be Morpheus offers AI-assisted writing features powered by a third-party AI provider. When you use these features, portions of your writing and prompts may be transmitted to that provider to generate suggestions, continuations, or analyses.
You are solely responsible for reviewing and editing any AI-generated output before publishing it. AI-generated output may be inaccurate, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for your own judgment.
Please see our AI Policy for details on how AI features work and how your content is handled.
8. Our Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, and other materials we own, is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for Your Content and content posted by other users, you may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service without our prior written consent.
9. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and may request deletion of your account. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, our Community Guidelines, or applicable law.
Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including those relating to ownership, disclaimers, and limitation of liability.
10. Disclaimers
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Be Morpheus and its affiliates from any claims, damages, and expenses arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of the rights of any third party.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date and, where required by law or where changes are material, provide notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
The version of these Terms in effect at the time of your use governs that use. You can review prior versions in our policy archive.
