We may remove or restrict access to any Card or Relay that violates these Terms.

By posting content, you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, display, and distribute your Cards within Storygeny for the purpose of providing the Service. You retain all ownership of your content.

5. AI Features

Storygeny offers optional AI assistance to help you:

• Generate captions
• Suggest content ideas
• Enhance storytelling

All AI suggestions are optional, and you remain responsible for the content you publish.

All content provided by Storygeny (excluding user Cards), including logos, design, software, and branding, is owned by Bouesse Technologies or its licensors and protected by law. You may not copy, modify, or use our assets without permission.
