Terms of use

Agreeing to these terms

These terms apply to the Veep Android app, the web app at web.veep.chat, and this website (together, “Veep”). By creating an account or using Veep, you agree to them and to our privacy policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Veep.

Who can use Veep

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your country to use online services without parental consent, whichever is higher. Features marked for adults, such as the AI companion’s Partner mode, are only for people aged 18 and over, and you must give your real date of birth to use them.

Your account

• Give accurate information and keep your password safe. You are responsible for activity on your account.
• Usernames must not impersonate other people or organisations or mislead others.
• Verified badges are given at Veep’s discretion to confirm notable accounts, and can be removed.

Your content

You own what you send. To run Veep, you give us a limited permission to store, transmit and display your content to the people you share it with, only as needed to provide the service. You are responsible for having the rights to what you share, including photos, files and music you add outside Veep’s library.

Music in Veep’s story library is openly licensed (CC0 or CC BY) and credited to its artists; use it only within Veep.

Acceptable use

Don’t use Veep to:

• break the law, or help anyone else do so;
• harass, threaten, bully or impersonate people, or share hateful content;
• share sexual content involving minors, or any non-consensual intimate images;
• send spam, scams, malware or bulk unsolicited messages;
• try to access accounts, chats or systems that aren’t yours, or disrupt, reverse engineer or overload the service;
• collect other users’ information without permission.

Group owners and admins can remove members and messages in their groups. You can block and report people; we review reports and may remove content or suspend accounts.

Calls, AI and Premium

• Veep is not a replacement for a phone service and cannot be used to call emergency services.
• The AI companion (coming soon) generates replies automatically. They may be wrong or inappropriate; don’t rely on them for medical, legal, financial or other professional advice.
• Premium features may be offered through rewarded ads or a paid subscription. Any price and billing terms will be shown before you pay, and subscriptions bought through Google Play follow Google Play’s terms for billing and refunds.

The Android app download

The Android app is distributed directly from web.veep.chat as an APK. Only download it from web.veep.chat. The app may check for updates and offer to install them. You can uninstall it at any time.

Changes and availability

We are improving Veep all the time, and may add, change or remove features. We aim to keep Veep running smoothly but can’t promise it will always be available or error-free. Messages are kept on our server for 30 days; keep backups of anything important.

Ending your use

You can delete your account at any time in Settings. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put other people or Veep at risk. Where reasonable, we will tell you why.

Disclaimers and liability

Veep is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for content sent by other users. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be limited.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the country where Veep’s operator is established, without affecting any mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live. Disputes will be handled by the courts that have jurisdiction under those laws.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If changes are significant, we will tell you in the app or on this website before they take effect. Continuing to use Veep after that means you accept the new terms.
