Terms of Service
Last updated 5 August 2026
These terms apply when you use Ceaseless Mind. By using the app you accept them. If you do not, please do not use it.
What Ceaseless Mind is
Ceaseless Mind is an app for playing interactive fantasy stories. You choose a book, make a character, and say what you do next by typing or speaking. Bex, the narrator, writes what happens in response and can read it aloud. Bex is artificial intelligence, not a person.
What Ceaseless Mind is not
It is a game, not a support service. Bex is a narrator in a work of fiction. It is not a companion, counsellor, therapist or clinician, and nothing it says is advice of any kind.
Nobody is reading what you write. The app does not monitor your messages, does not assess your state of mind, and will not contact anyone on your behalf under any circumstances. If you are in danger or in crisis, contact emergency services. In the UK call 999, or the Samaritans free on 116 123.
It can be wrong. AI systems make mistakes and can state incorrect things with complete confidence. Do not rely on anything the app tells you as fact, particularly about your health, your money or your legal position.
Who can use it
You must be 18 or over. You are responsible for what happens under your account, and for keeping access to your device and sign-in secure.
Subscriptions and payment
Ceaseless Mind is free to download and free to start playing. Some books and features, including voiced narration beyond the opening of a story and the premium-only titles in the catalogue, require Bex Premium, a monthly subscription sold through the App Store. A free trial may be offered to new subscribers.
- Payment is taken by Apple, through your Apple ID. We never see your card details.
- Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
- Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends, in your Apple ID subscription settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not refund the period you are in.
- If you do not cancel a free trial before it ends, it converts to a paid subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under their policies, not by us.
- Voiced narration is subject to fair use limits, because generating speech has a real cost per minute. If you reach one, the story continues in text.
- Prices may change. We will tell you before a change affects you.
Your content
What you write stays yours. You grant us only the permission needed to run the service: to store your characters and turns, process them, and send them to the AI providers listed in our Privacy Policy so the story can continue.
Content the app generates for you, such as narration, scenes, images and music, is yours to use. Because of how AI models work, similar output may be generated for other people, so we cannot promise it is unique to you or that you own it exclusively.
The stories
The books are fiction. What happens is generated in response to your choices and will differ every time, so no two playthroughs are the same and we cannot promise any particular outcome. Stories may include peril, conflict and other mature themes. Characters, places and events are invented; any resemblance to real people is coincidental.
Acceptable use
Do not use Ceaseless Mind to:
- break the law, or encourage anyone else to;
- generate material that sexualises children, or that incites violence or hatred;
- harass, defraud or impersonate anyone;
- deliberately push the narrator into producing prohibited content;
- attack, overload, reverse-engineer or scrape the service;
- resell it or pass it off as your own.
We may suspend or close accounts that do these things.
Availability
We provide the service as it is, without guaranteeing it will always be available or uninterrupted. Books, features and the catalogue may change or be withdrawn. We rely on third-party providers, and their outages will affect us.
Ending it
You can stop at any time and delete your account from inside the app, on the Account screen. Deletion is permanent and takes your saved games with it. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms or if we stop offering the service.
Liability
Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected.
Otherwise, and to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits or lost data, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
You are responsible for decisions you make based on what the app tells you.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top will change and, where it matters, we will tell you in the app. Continuing to use the app means accepting the updated terms.
Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer elsewhere, you keep the protections of your own country's law.
