These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the Epifany website, web application, features, and related services.

Please read them carefully before using Epifany.

By accessing or using Epifany, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use Epifany.

1. Who operates Epifany?

Epifany is operated by:

In these Terms, “Epifany”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Keyan Villat operating Epifany.

“You” and “your” refer to the person or organisation accessing or using the service.

2. Scope of these Terms

These Terms apply to:

• the Epifany website;
• the Epifany web application;
• prompt submission;
• AI-generated perspectives and reflections;
• saved perspectives;
• related product features;
• communications concerning the service.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data.

Our Cookie Policy explains how we use browser storage and optional analytics technologies.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use Epifany.

By using the service, you represent that:

• you are at least 18 years old;
• you have the legal capacity to accept these Terms;
• your use of Epifany complies with applicable law.

If you use Epifany on behalf of a company or another organisation, you represent that you have the authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

In that case, references to “you” also include that organisation.

4. Description of the service

Epifany is an AI-assisted perspective tool designed to help users examine questions, challenges, assumptions, and situations from different angles.

You may submit a prompt describing a question, problem, or situation.

Epifany may then use artificial intelligence, visual stimuli, and internal reasoning processes to generate a perspective or reflection.

The service may also allow you to:

• view generated perspectives;
• expand or explore a response;
• save selected perspectives;
• retrieve perspectives associated with your browser;
• provide optional feedback;
• adjust interface and privacy preferences.

Epifany is intended to support reflection and exploration.

It does not promise that a generated perspective will solve your problem, produce a particular result, or be suitable for your specific circumstances.

5. Artificial intelligence and generated content

Epifany uses artificial intelligence to generate content.

AI-generated content may be:

• inaccurate;
• incomplete;
• outdated;
• unexpected;
• repetitive;
• misleading;
• inappropriate for a particular situation;
• similar or identical to content generated for another user.

Epifany does not independently verify every generated response.

You are responsible for reviewing and evaluating generated content before using or relying on it.

Generated content should not be treated as a statement of fact solely because it appears confident, detailed, or persuasive.

You should independently verify important information through appropriate sources or qualified professionals.

6. No professional advice

Epifany does not provide professional advice.

Generated content is not a substitute for:

• medical advice;
• psychological or psychiatric care;
• legal advice;
• financial or investment advice;
• tax advice;
• employment advice;
• engineering or safety certification;
• emergency assistance;
• any other regulated or professional service.

Do not rely on Epifany as the sole basis for decisions that may materially affect:

• your health or safety;
• another person’s health or safety;
• legal rights or obligations;
• financial interests;
• employment;
• access to essential services;
• significant business or personal decisions.

Consult an appropriately qualified professional where necessary.

Epifany is not an emergency or crisis-response service.

If you or another person may be in immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency services or crisis-support service in your location.

7. Your prompts and other content

Information that you submit to Epifany, including prompts, questions, situations, feedback, and other materials, is referred to in these Terms as “User Content”.

You retain any rights that you already hold in your User Content.

You are responsible for your User Content and for ensuring that you have the right to submit it.

You must not submit content that:

• infringes another person’s intellectual-property rights;
• violates privacy, confidentiality, or data-protection rights;
• contains information that you are not authorised to disclose;
• is unlawful;
• is fraudulent or intentionally misleading;
• contains malware or harmful code;
• violates these Terms.

You should not submit:

• passwords or login credentials;
• payment-card information;
• government identification numbers;
• confidential information that you are not authorised to disclose;
• unnecessary sensitive personal data;
• personal data concerning another person without a lawful reason.

Submitting User Content does not create a confidential, fiduciary, professional, or advisory relationship between you and Epifany.

Your User Content will be processed as described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Permission to process User Content

To operate Epifany, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to:

• receive;
• host;
• store;
• reproduce;
• transmit;
• analyse;
• process;
• display;
• format;
• and otherwise technically use

your User Content only as reasonably necessary to:

• provide the service you request;
• generate and display a response;
• save or retrieve content at your request;
• operate and maintain Epifany;
• protect the service against abuse and security threats;
• comply with applicable law;
• process information as otherwise described in the Privacy Policy.

This permission does not transfer ownership of your User Content to Epifany.

It ends when the relevant content is deleted from our active systems, subject to technical backup periods, legal retention obligations, security requirements, and the retention practices described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Generated output

Content generated in response to your prompt is referred to as “Output”.

Subject to applicable law and third-party rights, Epifany does not restrict you from using Output generated for you for lawful personal or commercial purposes.

However:

• we do not guarantee that Output is unique;
• another user may receive the same or similar Output;
• we do not guarantee that Output is protected by copyright or other intellectual-property rights;
• we do not guarantee that your use of Output will not affect third-party rights;
• you are responsible for reviewing Output before publishing, distributing, commercialising, or relying on it.

You must not represent AI-generated Output as having been created entirely by a human where doing so would be deceptive, unlawful, or contrary to applicable professional or platform rules.

Epifany may retain and process Output as described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Acceptable use

You may use Epifany only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You must not use Epifany to:

• violate any applicable law or regulation;
• promote or facilitate unlawful activity;
• infringe intellectual-property, privacy, confidentiality, or other rights;
• harass, threaten, exploit, or harm another person;
• generate or distribute malicious software or harmful code;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to systems, accounts, or data;
• probe, scan, or test system vulnerabilities without permission;
• bypass usage limits, safeguards, access controls, or technical restrictions;
• interfere with the operation, security, or availability of the service;
• overload or disrupt Epifany’s infrastructure;
• impersonate another person or organisation;
• misrepresent your affiliation with another person or organisation;
• automate access in a manner that creates unreasonable load or circumvents restrictions;
• scrape, extract, reproduce, or systematically collect service content without permission;
• reverse engineer or attempt to discover non-public source code, prompts, models, systems, or security mechanisms, except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• use Output as the sole basis for high-impact decisions concerning another person;
• use the service in a manner that could expose Epifany, its providers, or other users to legal, security, or reputational harm.

We may introduce reasonable technical limits to protect the service, manage costs, prevent abuse, or maintain fair access.

11. Saved perspectives and browser-based access

Epifany currently allows you to save perspectives without creating an account.

When you first save a perspective, Epifany may create an anonymous functional identifier in your browser.

This identifier allows Epifany to associate saved perspectives with that browser.

You acknowledge that:

• saved perspectives are not protected by a password or user account;
• access may depend on browser storage remaining available;
• clearing browser storage may remove the identifier needed to retrieve saved perspectives;
• saved perspectives may not automatically transfer to another device or browser;
• private browsing may prevent perspectives from remaining available;
• Epifany may not be able to restore access if the functional identifier is lost.

You are responsible for independently retaining any Output that is important to you.

The Save feature should not be treated as a permanent archival or backup service.

12. Intellectual property belonging to Epifany

Except for User Content and Output addressed elsewhere in these Terms, Epifany and its licensors retain all rights in the service and its components.

This includes, where applicable:

• the Epifany name;
• logos and visual identity;
• website design;
• interface elements;
• graphics and visual assets;
• source code;
• software architecture;
• databases;
• taxonomies;
• methodologies;
• prompts and internal instructions;
• text written by Epifany;
• documentation;
• trademarks and domain names.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, license, or commercially exploit these elements without prior written permission, except where applicable law permits it.

These Terms do not grant you ownership of Epifany’s technology, branding, systems, or intellectual property.

13. Feedback

You may voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, comments, or feedback concerning Epifany.

You agree that we may use such feedback to develop, improve, operate, and promote Epifany without payment or obligation to you.

This does not permit us to publicly identify you as the source of feedback without your permission.

Do not submit feedback containing confidential information that you do not want used for product development.

14. Third-party services

Epifany relies on third-party service providers to operate the service.

These may include providers of:

• artificial-intelligence processing;
• website hosting;
• cloud infrastructure;
• database hosting;
• network delivery;
• security and reliability services.

Our current primary providers are described in the Privacy Policy.

Epifany may also contain links to third-party websites or resources.

We do not control independent third-party websites and are not responsible for:

• their availability;
• their content;
• their security;
• their accuracy;
• their products or services;
• their privacy practices;
• their terms and conditions.

Accessing a third-party website is at your own discretion and may be governed by separate terms.

15. Privacy and browser technologies

Your use of Epifany is also subject to our:

• Privacy Policy;
• Cookie Policy.

These documents explain:

• what personal data we process;
• how prompts are handled;
• which service providers receive information;
• how long data may be retained;
• how browser storage is used;
• how optional analytics consent works;
• how you can exercise applicable privacy rights.

Optional product analytics are not required to access Epifany’s core features.

You may change your analytics preference through the Cookie Settings control available on the website.

16. Fees and future paid features

The current public version of Epifany is provided free of charge unless clearly stated otherwise.

We will not charge you merely because you access or use a free feature.

Epifany may introduce paid features, subscriptions, usage packages, or other commercial services in the future.

Before you enter into a paid transaction, we will provide the applicable information, which may include:

• the principal characteristics of the paid service;
• the price;
• applicable taxes or additional charges;
• billing frequency;
• payment conditions;
• subscription duration;
• renewal terms;
• cancellation conditions;
• any applicable refund or withdrawal rights;
• additional terms specific to the purchase.

No paid obligation will arise unless the price and relevant conditions are clearly presented and you take an action indicating agreement to purchase.

Additional payment or subscription terms may apply to future paid services.

In the event of a conflict, specific terms presented for a paid service will apply to that service while these general Terms continue to apply to the remainder of Epifany.

17. Availability and changes to the service

We aim to keep Epifany available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

The service may be temporarily unavailable because of:

• maintenance;
• updates;
• infrastructure failures;
• third-party service interruptions;
• network problems;
• security incidents;
• capacity constraints;
• legal requirements;
• events outside our reasonable control.

We may modify, add, remove, limit, suspend, or discontinue features where reasonably necessary to:

• improve Epifany;
• maintain security;
• comply with law;
• respond to technical constraints;
• prevent abuse;
• manage infrastructure or operating costs;
• change the product’s direction.

Where reasonably possible, we will provide appropriate notice before a change that materially reduces an established user-facing feature.

You are responsible for retaining copies of Output or saved content that is important to you.

18. Suspension and termination

You may stop using Epifany at any time.

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access where we reasonably believe that:

• you have violated these Terms;
• your use creates a security risk;
• your use may cause harm to Epifany, another user, or a third party;
• your use may expose us to legal liability;
• suspension is required by law or a competent authority;
• the service or relevant feature is discontinued.

Where appropriate and reasonably possible, enforcement measures will be proportionate to the nature and seriousness of the issue.

We may act without advance notice where immediate action is reasonably necessary to address:

• fraud;
• abuse;
• security threats;
• unlawful activity;
• imminent harm;
• urgent legal obligations.

Termination or loss of access may result in saved perspectives becoming inaccessible.

Sections that by their nature should continue after termination will remain effective, including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, governing law, and disputes.

19. Disclaimer of warranties

Epifany is provided on an “as available” basis.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we do not guarantee that:

• the service will always be available;
• the service will be uninterrupted or error-free;
• every defect will be corrected;
• generated content will be accurate or complete;
• generated content will meet your expectations;
• Output will be unique;
• Output will be suitable for a particular purpose;
• saved perspectives will remain permanently accessible;
• the service will be compatible with every browser, device, or configuration;
• the service will produce a specific personal, professional, or commercial result.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

20. Limitation of liability

You use Epifany and evaluate Output at your own discretion.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Epifany is not responsible for losses resulting solely from:

• reliance on inaccurate or incomplete AI-generated content;
• decisions made without appropriate independent verification;
• use of Output outside its intended reflective purpose;
• loss of access caused by clearing browser storage;
• failure to retain an independent copy of important Output;
• third-party websites or services;
• circumstances outside our reasonable control.

To the extent permitted by law, Epifany will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or purely economic losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when you began using the service.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

In particular, nothing excludes or limits liability for:

• intentional misconduct;
• gross negligence;
• fraud;
• death or personal injury where liability cannot lawfully be excluded;
• violation of mandatory consumer rights;
• any other liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit.

For users acting as consumers, these Terms do not reduce any mandatory rights or remedies available under applicable consumer-protection law.

21. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms where necessary to reflect:

• changes to Epifany;
• new features;
• new paid services;
• changes to our providers;
• security requirements;
• legal or regulatory developments;
• changes to our business or operating model.

The latest version will be published on this page with its effective date.

Changes apply prospectively from the stated effective date.

Where a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will provide appropriate notice where reasonably possible.

Your continued use after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If you do not agree with an update, you should stop using Epifany.

22. Governing law and jurisdiction

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

Subject to mandatory applicable law, disputes arising from or relating to Epifany or these Terms will be submitted to the competent courts of Lausanne, Switzerland.

If you are a consumer, this clause does not deprive you of:

• mandatory protections provided by the law of your country of residence;
• the right to bring proceedings before a court that has mandatory jurisdiction under applicable consumer law;
• any right that cannot validly be waived in advance.

Before commencing formal proceedings, you and Epifany are encouraged to attempt to resolve the matter by contacting:

contact@epifany-project.com

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be applied or modified only to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

24. No waiver

A failure or delay by Epifany in enforcing a provision of these Terms does not waive the right to enforce it later.

A waiver is effective only if made expressly in writing.

25. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and any additional terms expressly presented for a specific feature or transaction, constitute the agreement between you and Epifany concerning use of the service.

They replace previous representations or understandings concerning the same subject matter, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
