Terms

Who we are

Ye Olde Messenger is run by Mather Software Ltd, registered in England and Wales.

Your account

You need an account to use Ye Olde Messenger. Keep your sign-in to yourself; you're responsible for what happens under your account.

The service

Ye Olde Messenger is provided as it is. We'll try to keep it running, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of mistakes.

The figures are AI

Every historical figure in Ye Olde Messenger is an AI recreation written by a computer model from the historical record. They are not the real people, their words are not real quotations, and they can be wrong. Use the app to learn and for fun, and check anything important against a proper source. Nothing a figure says is medical, legal or financial advice. You can report any message from its menu.

Fair use

Don't use the app to produce content that is illegal or abusive, or to get around its limits. The free plan has a daily message allowance; Pro removes it, subject to a fair-use limit that stops automated abuse. We may suspend an account that breaks these terms.

Pro subscription

Pro is an optional subscription bought through your App Store account. It renews automatically until you cancel in your App Store settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. A free trial, where offered, turns into a paid subscription unless you cancel before it ends. Refunds are handled by Apple.

Leaving

You can delete your account at any time from Settings in the app. That erases your account and data straight away.

Changes and law

We'll tell you in the app before these terms change in a way that matters. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
