Terms of Service

Atlas Pro and Delve Pro offers retain their separately published availability, pricing, trial, and refund terms on the pricing and refund pages.

These terms govern your use of Aethera.TV and the Aethera VTT, operated by Aethera.TV LLC. Specific purchases and subscriptions also follow the terms shown when you accept them.

Version 2026-09-13.1 · Effective September 13, 2026

Accounts

  • You must be at least 13 to create an account.
  • A buyer under 18 may complete a creator membership only through the transaction-specific verified guardian flow. One-time Exchange purchases are unavailable to buyers under 18 until a separate transaction-specific guardian checkout is activated. For an approved membership, the adult guardian must approve the exact transaction and complete payment.
  • You must provide accurate account information and keep it up to date.
  • You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping login credentials secure.
  • We may suspend accounts that violate these terms or applicable laws.

User content

You retain ownership of the content you upload. By uploading, you grant us a license to host, transcode, and display that content for the purpose of operating the service.

  • Do not upload content you do not have rights to share.
  • Respect community guidelines and avoid harmful or illegal material.
  • Report copyright violations using the DMCA form.

Virtual tabletop usage

  • Use the VTT for collaborative play and respect GM controls and permissions.
  • Do not attempt to reverse engineer, exploit, or disrupt the realtime service.
  • Modules and scripts run in a sandbox but remain your responsibility to use safely.

Payments and subscriptions

  • Platform subscriptions (including VTT plans and Aethera Premium) are processed through standard checkout providers when enabled.
  • Creator support options may use different supported payment methods depending on feature type and account context.
  • By default, subscription charges are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
  • Standalone Atlas Pro sales retain their separately displayed terms. When checkout is enabled, the pricing page shows current availability and terms; the Refund Policy describes the standalone refund window.
  • Standalone Delve Pro is $3.99/month or $35.99/year, renews automatically until canceled, and has no trial. Delve Pro is also included while Aethera Premium is active. Current availability and exact checkout terms appear on the pricing page; the Refund Policy applies to charges.
  • One-time Aethera Exchange orders use the implemented platform-created destination-charge model: the Aethera fee is 12.5% of discounted pretax product price, creator proceeds exclude tax, and Aethera pays Stripe processing fees. Other creator products retain their separately recorded models.
  • For Exchange content, the identified creator is the seller and licensor. Aethera operates checkout, delivery, transaction records, and policy enforcement. “Buy” or “owned” means licensed access, not ownership of copyright.
  • Proposed buyer rights are described in the Commercial Content License. Recurring creator access is described in the Creator Membership Terms.
  • Taxes or fees may apply based on your location.

Delve projects and commercial map output

  • Delve Lite and Delve Pro users may use maps they create and export in personal or commercial games, streams, videos, virtual-tabletop sessions, client work, and publications, including after a Pro plan ends. Aethera does not claim ownership of the user's original project content or finished map output.
  • This map-output permission does not grant a right to redistribute or resell Delve itself, source code, standalone first-party source assets, templates, recipes, or asset-library files as a competing asset pack or editor. A finished flattened or rendered map may incorporate permitted Delve assets.
  • Third-party, Exchange, commissioned, trademarked, or user-imported material remains subject to its own license and applicable law. Users are responsible for having the rights needed for material they add and for any commercial distribution beyond Delve's first-party map-output permission.
  • Losing Pro access stops creation of newly gated Pro treatments but does not lock the project: existing Pro-authored maps remain open, editable, renderable, savable, and exportable in Lite.

Aethera Exchange

  • One-time paid Exchange purchases are available to adult buyers through the supported checkout. Browsing and eligible free claims keep their existing availability. Creator memberships and direct-app imports are not included in the initial Exchange release.
  • The Marketplace Policy Center collects the commercial license, seller, membership, AI disclosure, refund, trust, privacy, and copyright rules.
  • Sellers must have authority to offer their content. Aethera may delist, quarantine, or restrict content for fraud, malware, invalid rights, safety, payment, or legal reasons while preserving lawful prior buyer access where possible.
  • Immediate digital delivery does not waive a right that applicable law makes nonwaivable. Exact policy, license, offer, AI disclosure, and consent versions are retained with the transaction.

Prohibited behavior

  • No harassment, abuse, or hate speech.
  • No spam, scraping, or automated abuse of APIs.
  • No malware, phishing, or attempts to bypass security controls.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate access if these terms are violated, or if required to comply with legal obligations. You may close your account at any time in Settings.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service and creator content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without implied warranties. Aethera does not guarantee uninterrupted access or that creator content is suitable for a particular project. Rights and warranties that cannot legally be excluded remain available.

Limits of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Aethera nor a user is liable under these terms for indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages or lost profits. Aethera's aggregate liability cap is the greater of $100 or the amount the claimant paid to Aethera during the preceding 12 months. The cap and exclusions do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, intellectual-property or payment obligations, or liability that cannot legally be limited.

Law and dispute process

Before filing an ordinary lawsuit, the parties first send enough information to understand the dispute through Support and allow 30 days for informal resolution. That step does not block small claims, urgent injunctive relief, or action needed to preserve an expiring legal deadline.

Indiana law governs without overriding nonwaivable consumer protections. Eligible disputes may be filed in small-claims court; other court proceedings must be brought in the state or federal courts with jurisdiction over Aethera.TV LLC in Indiana. These terms contain no mandatory arbitration agreement and no class-action waiver.

Changes to these terms

Aethera identifies each version and gives reasonable notice before a material change takes effect. A material recurring-price change requires the consent described in the Membership Terms. A new version applies prospectively and cannot retroactively reduce an acquired content license. If reacceptance is required and declined, future use or renewal may end while surviving rights remain governed by the accepted version.

General terms

  • The approved Terms and incorporated policies are the complete agreement for their subject matter; order-specific terms and immutable license snapshots control the applicable transaction.
  • If one provision is unenforceable, it is narrowed or removed only as needed and the rest continues. A failure to enforce once does not waive later enforcement.
  • A user cannot assign an account, buyer license, or these terms without written permission. Aethera could assign the terms with the service to a lawful successor that assumes the obligations.
  • Account and transaction notices may be delivered through the service or the verified account email; formal notices to Aethera use the public notice address above.
  • The creator/licensor may enforce the Commercial Content License granted for that creator's content.
