Terms of Use

Last updated: 22 May 2026

These Terms of Use apply to the main domain https://lorath.eu, the web app https://app.lorath.eu, all other subdomains and beta environments, the native mobile apps Lorath for iOS (Apple App Store) and Lorath for Android (Google Play Store, launch in preparation), the social media pages Instagram @lorath_eu and TikTok @lorath_eu, and emails sent by us (only @lorath.eu).

The domains are operated via a server hosted in Germany; the mobile apps are native wrappers that use the same server endpoints. Regardless of whether you use our services through the website, the web app, or the iOS/Android app, the same technical, data protection and contractual framework conditions apply.

Please read the following Terms of Use carefully. For registered functions, login, version increases and paid orders, these terms are incorporated through a clear acceptance process. Merely accessing publicly available pages does not constitute consent to all Terms of Use; however, the statutory notices, in particular the imprint and privacy policy, apply. Changes to these Terms of Use are governed by § 16. The current version is available at https://app.lorath.eu/nutzungsbedingungen.html.

§ 1 — Provider

Julius Berger
c/o Block Services
Stuttgarter Str. 106
70736 Fellbach

Email: support@lorath.eu
VAT ID No.: DE447334153

(Hereinafter referred to as the "Provider" or "we".)

§ 2 — Subject Matter of the Service

2.1. Lorath is an AI-supported platform for pen-and-paper role-playing. The service is provided through the web app at app.lorath.eu and through the native mobile applications Lorath for iOS (Apple App Store) and Lorath for Android (Google Play Store). All variants access the same server; the scope of functions and content is identical unless individual features are restricted due to store requirements. The AI assumes the role of game master (Dungeon Master) or supports the player who acts as game master.

The platform enables the creation of fictional worlds, characters, cultures and stories.

2.2. Use is based on a coin-based payment model. Coins can be purchased via Stripe, PayPal, advance payment or, where available, through App Store or Google Play Store purchases (in-app purchases). The special rules for in-app purchases are set out in our General Terms and Conditions, section § 9.

2.3. The services also include interactive functions such as AI-generated images, AI-generated videos, voice output, chat functions, collaboration functions, multiplayer sessions (table round), worldbuilding tools and a help bot (Tindra).

§ 2a — Use of the Mobile Apps (iOS / Android)

2a.1. Availability. The iOS app is available exclusively through the Apple App Store, and the Android app exclusively through the Google Play Store. Modified, cracked or third-party installations are not permitted.

2a.2. Licence. The Provider grants the user a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and operate the app on supported devices for private use.

2a.3. Prohibited acts. Reverse engineering, decompilation, disassembly, circumvention of security or copy-protection mechanisms and modification of the app binaries are not permitted unless mandatory law allows this. Automated clients (bots, scrapers) are prohibited.

2a.4. Apple EULA standard clauses (in accordance with the obligations of the Apple Developer Program):

  • These Terms of Use are concluded between you and the Provider (not Apple). Apple is not a party to the contract.
  • Apple provides no warranty for the app. Warranty and support obligations beyond those governed by these terms are directed solely against the Provider.
  • Product liability and warranty claims (in particular due to missing functions, infringement of third-party rights or consumer protection law) must be directed solely against the Provider.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use and may enforce them against the user after acceptance by the user.
  • The user represents that they are not located in a country embargoed by the United States and are not listed on any U.S. sanctions or terrorism list.

2a.5. Google Play supplemental terms. Google is not a party to these Terms of Use. The Google Play Terms of Service also apply.

2a.6. Updates. The Provider may update the app at any time. Security-relevant updates are strongly recommended. Outdated app versions may no longer be able to access the server.

2a.7. Device access. The app uses certain device permissions only after the user has expressly granted them (e.g. microphone for live audio, storage/camera for profile picture uploads). The individual permissions and their purposes are listed in the privacy policy.

2a.8. Termination. In the event of a breach of these terms, the Provider may block use of the service through the app; the store licence may additionally be terminated by Apple or Google.

§ 3 — User Account

3.1. Access to the core functions of the app requires the creation of a user account.

3.2. Regular registration is permitted from the age of 13. If you are between 13 and 15 years old, you may use Lorath only with the consent of your parents or legal guardians, insofar as such consent is requested during the registration process.

3.3. Users under the age of 13 may use Lorath only through a parent-supervised account if this account type is expressly offered during the registration process and a parent or legal guardian permits and supervises the use. Without such a parent-supervised account, use under the age of 13 is not permitted.

3.4. For minor users, the available content scope is limited by the stored age level. Parents or legal guardians are responsible for ensuring that login details are not shared and that use is age-appropriate.

3.5. If an account is created via Google OAuth or Apple OAuth, the age and parental-consent query may take place during subsequent onboarding. Until age assignment has been completed, age-relevant content and functions may be blocked or limited to the lowest age level.

3.6. You undertake to provide truthful information during registration and to keep your data up to date. The date of birth must not be falsified in order to circumvent age or youth-protection mechanisms.

3.7. You are responsible for the security of your account and password. Inform us without undue delay if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

3.8. You may change your username and password at any time.

3.9. You may delete your account at any time through the profile settings or by email to datenschutz@lorath.eu. Deletion will be carried out as soon as possible unless statutory retention obligations or overriding legitimate interests prevent it.

3.10. If you delete individual adventures or table rounds, they will be retained in marked form for 30 days before being permanently removed (see GTC § 13 and Privacy Policy § 5c).

§ 4 — Coin System and Payments

4.1. Coins are Lorath’s in-app currency. Coins can be purchased through the payment methods offered. Purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store are additionally subject to the provisions in our General Terms and Conditions, section § 9.

4.2. Purchased Coins acquired through the website or web app do not automatically expire after 120 days. Free Coins, bonus Coins, test credit or goodwill credits may be time-limited; any time limit will be indicated in the app or in the respective offer. Coins or in-app currencies purchased through Apple or Google are additionally subject to the respective store rules.

4.3. Coins are not transferable and cannot be exchanged back unless a statutory right of withdrawal applies.

4.4. The cancellation policy and the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply and are available at https://app.lorath.eu/agb.html.

§ 4a — Fair Use for Subscriptions

4a.1. Subscriptions may cover the use of a specific model tier up to a daily limit. The daily limit is generally up to 100 messages per calendar day (UTC); lower limits may apply to higher or particularly cost-intensive model tiers. The applicable limits are shown in the app. Details are governed by the GTC § 8.

4a.2. AI responses may cost different numbers of Coins depending on the model; the costs are shown in the app. The fair-use daily limit applies to subscriptions in addition to coin billing. After the daily limit has been reached, further use may again be possible under the regular coin billing model where offered.

§ 4b — Daily Reward and Achievements

4b.1. Daily reward. Each day you can collect a reward of 3 free messages; these are discount tokens that reduce the cost of your next chat by 2 Coins. They are valid for 24 hours. If you claim again the next day, your pool is reset, so it is better to use them today.

4b.2. Achievements. When you accomplish something notable in Lorath, you can unlock achievements; each grants 1 to 3 discount tokens to collect. You must actively claim them (they wait in your trophy collection), and they are valid for 30 days thereafter.

§ 5 — User Responsibility for AI-Generated Content

5.1. Use of the AI functions (text generation, image generation, video generation, voice output) is at your own responsibility.

5.2. You are responsible for ensuring that you do not generate illegal content with the AI. This includes in particular, but is not limited to:

  • content that violates German criminal law (e.g. incitement to hatred, dissemination of symbols of unconstitutional organisations, child pornography, depictions of violence pursuant to § 131 German Criminal Code);
  • content that infringes the personality rights of third parties;
  • content that infringes copyrights, trademarks or other third-party rights.

5.3. The Provider assumes no liability for AI-generated content initiated by users. Users indemnify the Provider against all third-party claims arising from content initiated by the user.

5.4. The Provider reserves the right to remove content and block user accounts if there is a justified suspicion of misuse.

§ 5a — Inspection in Case of Suspected Violations

5a.1. In the event of a justified suspicion of violations of applicable law or of these Terms of Use, in particular suspicion of the creation, storage or dissemination of illegal content pursuant to § 5, the Provider reserves the right to inspect the content created within the app for the affected account. This includes in particular:

  • adventure chats (game progressions between user and AI),
  • table-round chats (multiplayer sessions),
  • character chats (chats with AI in the form of a defined character),
  • conversations with the help bot Tindra.

5a.2. Inspection is carried out exclusively by authorised employees, is limited to the extent required for clarification and is internally logged with the date, time and identifier of the inspecting employee. Content is not changed and messages are not sent in the user’s name during inspection (read-only access).

5a.3. The affected user will be informed of an inspection unless doing so would jeopardise the purpose of the inspection or ongoing internal, official or criminal investigations.

5a.4. The legal basis for inspection and the associated logging is the Provider’s legitimate interest in clarifying legal violations, protecting the platform and its users, and fulfilling statutory obligations (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in the event of an official order).

5a.5. Inspection does not constitute consent to general monitoring. It is permissible only in the cases described in this § 5a, must be necessary and proportionate, and is limited by role permissions, logging and internal responsibilities. The processing of further data, in particular retention periods and data subject rights, is governed by the privacy policy.

§ 5b — Notices, Moderation and DSA Procedures

5b.1. Lorath provides users with storage, chat, AI and multiplayer functions. Insofar as Lorath is to be regarded as a hosting service or other intermediary service within the meaning of the Digital Services Act (DSA), the provisions of this § 5b apply in addition.

5b.2. The contact point for users, authorities and other entitled bodies is support@lorath.eu. Illegal content, misuse, security issues or violations of these Terms of Use may be reported via this address and, where technically available, through report buttons directly in the app.

5b.3. Where possible, a notice should contain the following information: a description of the contested content, the storage location or a clear reference within Lorath, the reason for illegality or rule violation, contact details for follow-up questions, and a statement that the information is accurate to the best of the notifier’s knowledge.

5b.4. After receiving a sufficiently specific notice, we will review the matter without undue delay. Depending on severity and clarity, content may be removed or hidden, age or function access may be restricted, accounts may be temporarily or permanently blocked, reports may be submitted to competent bodies, or measures may be rejected.

5b.5. Where legally required and practically possible, the affected user will receive a statement of reasons for removal, blocking or restriction. Information may be omitted or delayed if this is legally permitted, would endanger the safety of other users, or could impair official, criminal or internal investigations.

5b.6. The affected user may request review of moderation measures via support@lorath.eu. The review is carried out through a process that is not exclusively automated. Statutory complaint, notice and legal remedy rights remain unaffected.

5b.7. We may use technical protection systems, provider safety filters, hash/block lists, rate limits, prompt safety rules and automated detection to prevent illegal or store-incompatible content. Permanent sanctions for questionable content should not be based solely on automated decisions but should be reviewed by a human where no immediate measure is required to protect users, minors, the platform or to fulfil statutory obligations.

§ 5c — UGC and AI Safety Rules for Web, iOS and Android

5c.1. User content, chat histories, multiplayer contributions, uploads, prompts and AI outputs must not be unlawful, abusive, harassing, pornographic in an impermissible context, harmful to minors, discriminatory, fraudulent or otherwise safety-endangering.

5c.2. To the extent technically available, Lorath provides functions for reporting content, blocking or muting abusive users, removing one’s own content, restricting multiplayer interactions and contacting support. Reports concerning illegal content, sexualised content involving minors, glorification of violence, threats or acutely dangerous content are processed with priority.

5c.3. The requirements of Apple and Google additionally apply to the native apps. Content or functions that may be permissible on the web but violate App Store or Google Play requirements may be technically excluded, filtered, hidden or offered only outside the store app in iOS or Android builds.

5c.4. Functions with explicit sexual, pornographic or otherwise clearly adult content may be provided in native apps only to the extent permitted by the respective store rules. Otherwise such functions are web-only, age-restricted and technically separated from store builds.

5c.5. We respond to notices and security incidents as quickly as is appropriate according to the nature, scope and risk of the matter. In cases of obviously illegal or acutely dangerous content, immediate provisional measures may be taken.

§ 6 — Age Restriction for Explicit Content

6.1. Lorath offers the possibility of generating content with an explicit character (e.g. depictions of violence, sexual content or uncensored AI functions) within the role-playing context. Use of this content is permitted only for persons aged 18 or over.

6.2. Explicit content is unlocked at least through the indication of the date of birth and the age level derived from it. Users under 18 cannot select an age level for content aged 18+. For particularly sensitive or clearly adult functions, Lorath may use additional technical checks, age verification procedures or closed user groups.

6.3. This rule serves youth protection pursuant to the German Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media (JMStV). The Provider reserves the right to tighten the verification procedure if this is necessary due to content type, provider requirements, store rules, official notices or statutory requirements.

6.4. Circumventing age verification is prohibited and may lead to immediate blocking of the account.

§ 6a — Technical Youth Protection Concept

6a.1. Lorath assigns content and functions to age levels and limits access based on date of birth, account status, parental consent, store context, technical safety rules and, where necessary, additional age verification procedures.

6a.2. For minors, the following protective measures are used or planned in particular: blocking age_18 functions, age-appropriate safety filters, restriction of sensitive AI models, parent-supervised accounts for children under 13, consent requirements for 13- to 15-year-olds, prevention of subsequent arbitrary age changes, logging of relevant age and consent events, and review of suspicious circumvention attempts.

6a.3. Purchases by minors are not permitted. Minors may use paid services only if the purchase is made by a parent or an adult person with parental authority and the age limits for use are not circumvented thereby.

6a.4. Parents or legal guardians may contact support@lorath.eu or datenschutz@lorath.eu with questions about parent-supervised accounts, age levels, blocks or deletion.

§ 6b — AI Transparency and Synthetic Content

6b.1. Lorath is an AI-supported platform. Users should be able to clearly recognise when they are interacting with an AI or when content has been generated, modified, voiced, translated, summarised or otherwise synthetically processed by AI.

6b.2. AI-generated or AI-manipulated images, videos, audio outputs and comparable media should be identified in the app by suitable notices, labels, badges, metadata or contextual information, insofar as this is technically possible and required under the applicable rules.

6b.3. Deepfake-like, deceptively realistic or personal synthetic content must not be used for deception, infringement of personality rights, misrepresentation of identities, political manipulation, fraud, harassment or other misuse.

6b.4. The foregoing transparency obligations will be implemented no later than the date on which corresponding statutory obligations become applicable to Lorath; for Art. 50 of the AI Regulation, 2 August 2026 is currently envisaged as the relevant application date.

§ 7 — Protection of the Platform Against Extremist and Illegal Content

7.1. Lorath is committed to the free democratic basic order of the Federal Republic of Germany and to respectful, safe interaction.

7.2. It is prohibited to use Lorath to create, disseminate, prepare, support or glorify extremist, terrorist, inhuman, inciting or otherwise unlawful content. This applies in particular to propaganda, recruitment, threats, instructions for criminal offences, calls for violence or content benefiting organisations classified as extremist or terrorist by competent authorities.

7.3. We do not monitor political opinions or memberships outside the platform. Measures under these Terms of Use require specific indications of unlawful use of Lorath or use that endangers the platform.

7.4. In the event of justified suspicion, content may be removed, functions restricted, accounts blocked and necessary legal steps initiated.

§ 8 — Prohibited Use

8.0. On the mobile apps, the Apple content guidelines (App Review Guidelines) and Google Play Developer Program Policies also apply. Content, functions or AI outputs that violate these guidelines may be filtered, blocked, removed or not offered in store builds independently of our rules.

8.1. In addition to the prohibitions set out in §§ 5 and 7, it is prohibited to:

  • use the app or its content for commercial purposes without the Provider’s written permission;
  • interrupt, damage or otherwise impair the Provider’s services;
  • carry out automated access (bots, scrapers, data mining) without permission;
  • use the app for fraudulent or unlawful purposes;
  • disseminate content that is insulting, degrading, discriminatory, racist or inflammatory;
  • disseminate spam, advertising or unwanted messages via the platform.

8.2. By creating content on the platform, users grant the Provider a non-exclusive, worldwide, purpose-bound and royalty-free right to store, process, technically reproduce, transmit to required technical service providers and AI providers, and make available within Lorath such content within the scope of the platform functions, insofar as this is necessary for operation, provision, security, support, error analysis, moderation, legal defence or contract performance. Sublicensing takes place only insofar as required for these purposes to technical service providers or AI providers.

§ 9 — Copyright and Intellectual Property

9.1. The entire content of the platform (texts, graphics, logos, icons, audio, videos, software) is the property of the Provider or licensed third parties and is protected by German and international copyright law.

9.2. AI-generated content (texts, images, videos) created as part of your use may be used freely for personal and non-commercial purposes. Commercial use requires prior written permission.

9.3. Systematic extraction, copying or reuse of platform content is prohibited without express permission.

§ 10 — Availability

10.1. The Provider endeavours to keep the platform continuously available, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability.

10.2. Maintenance work, technical faults, third-party disruptions (e.g. internet providers, AI service providers) or force majeure may lead to temporary restrictions. Liability for this is excluded unless the Provider is responsible for the disruption.

§ 11 — Liability

11.1. The Provider is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence.

11.2. In cases of slight negligence, the Provider is liable only for breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

11.3. The limitation of liability does not apply to injury to life, body or health or to mandatory statutory liability provisions (e.g. the Product Liability Act).

11.4. The Provider is not liable for the accuracy, completeness or appropriateness of AI-generated content.

§ 12 — Data Protection

The handling of personal data is governed by our privacy policy, which is available at https://app.lorath.eu/datenschutz.html.

§ 13 — Cookies

Information on the use of cookies can be found in our privacy policy. The platform uses technically necessary cookies (e.g. for login). Optional tracking takes place only after express consent.

§ 14 — Links to Third-Party Providers

14.1. The platform may contain links to external websites. The Provider has no influence over their content and assumes no responsibility for it.

14.2. Accessing linked websites is at your own risk.

§ 15 — Electronic Communication

15.1. We send transactional and security-related messages insofar as they are required for account, contract, security, support, payments, legal evidence or important product information. This includes, for example, registration, login, security, payment, contract, change and support emails.

15.2. We send newsletters, advertising and other marketing emails only with express consent, generally using double opt-in or a comparable verifiable procedure. Consent is logged with time, address, source and confirmation status.

15.3. You may unsubscribe from non-transactional emails at any time, for example via the unsubscribe link in the email or by sending a message to support@lorath.eu. Transactional and security-relevant messages may remain necessary.

§ 16 — Changes to These Terms of Use

16.1. The Provider may amend, delete or supplement these Terms of Use for future use if there are objective reasons for doing so, in particular new functions, security requirements, statutory requirements, store or payment provider requirements, technical changes or clarifications. Purely editorial or evidently beneficial changes may become effective without prior consent. Material changes or changes requiring consent are governed by § 16.2 to § 16.5.

16.2. Insofar as a change materially affects the rights or obligations of users or express consent is required, the new version will be displayed at login, in the app or in a comparable manner. The user may refuse consent.

16.3. If a user does not consent to a change requiring consent, they may continue to use their account in a restricted manner for 7 days from display of the new version or from refusal of consent in order to secure or export content, view ongoing data or delete the account. New paid orders, new AI generations and non-essential convenience functions may be blocked during this transitional period.

16.4. After expiry of the 7-day period, further use is possible only if the user consents to the then current version. If no consent is given, the user may delete their account or the Provider may terminate the account or mark it for deletion, unless statutory retention obligations, open payment or refund matters, or overriding legitimate interests prevent this. Statutory consumer rights and claims already accrued remain unaffected.

16.5. For each version bump, the Provider internally documents that and when a user consented to a new version (with version identifier, IP address, user agent and source of consent), insofar as this is required for evidentiary purposes.

16.6. If any provision of these Terms of Use is or becomes invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

16.7. The German version of these Terms of Use is the binding version. Translations into other languages serve solely to improve understanding; in the event of contradictions between translations and the German version, the German version prevails.

§ 17 — No Waiver

If the Provider takes no action in response to a breach of these Terms of Use, the Provider remains entitled to assert its rights on any other occasion.

§ 18 — Place of Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

18.1. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

18.2. For disputes with consumers, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.

18.3. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board under the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act.

18.4. The EU platform for online dispute resolution was discontinued on 20 July 2025. A link to this platform is therefore no longer provided.
