Terms of Service – OnlyMove AI

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the OnlyMove AI website, web application, mobile applications, progressive web application, and related features and services (collectively, the “Service”).

These Terms form an agreement between you and the operator of OnlyMove AI, based in Washington State, United States. In these Terms, “OnlyMove AI,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of the Service.

By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or otherwise indicating your acceptance of these Terms, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” includes both you and that entity.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.

If the laws where you live require a higher minimum age to use an online service or to consent to the processing of personal information, that higher minimum age applies.

If you are under the legal age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

The Service is not directed to children under 13. If we learn that an account belongs to a child who is not eligible to use the Service, we may suspend or delete the account and associated information.

You may use the Service only if you are legally able to enter into a binding agreement with us and are not prohibited from using the Service under applicable law.

2. Your account

Some parts of the Service require an account. You may be able to create an account using an OnlyMove AI username and password or through a supported third-party sign-in provider, such as Lichess.

You agree to:

provide accurate information when creating and maintaining your account;
keep your account credentials and devices secure;
not share, sell, transfer, or allow another person to use your account;
not impersonate another person or create an account in a misleading or unlawful manner; and
promptly notify us at [email protected] if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

You are responsible for activity that occurs through your account, except to the extent that the activity results from a security failure for which we are legally responsible.

We may require you to change a username or other account identifier if it is misleading, infringes another person’s rights, creates a security risk, or violates these Terms.

Your actual password may not be transmitted to or recoverable by OnlyMove AI. Losing your credentials may therefore result in losing access to your account or stored data. You are responsible for maintaining appropriate exports or backups of information that is important to you.

3. The Service

OnlyMove AI is a chess training and repertoire-management service.

Among other things, the Service may allow you to:

create, import, edit, train, and export chess opening repertoires;
schedule training using spaced-repetition algorithms;
import or analyze games from supported third-party chess platforms;
receive engine-generated evaluations, proposed lines, repertoire suggestions, and suggested improvements;
connect supported third-party accounts;
review training activity and progress; and
use other chess study and preparation features.

We may add, remove, modify, suspend, or discontinue features of the Service.

We do not guarantee that any particular feature, integration, algorithm, data source, third-party connection, or supported file format will remain available.

We may impose reasonable technical limits to protect the Service, prevent abuse, comply with third-party requirements, or maintain reliable operation.

4. Free Service and future paid features

The Service is currently offered without charge.

We may introduce optional paid features or services in the future. Before you incur any charge, we will clearly present the applicable price, billing period, renewal terms, cancellation terms, and any additional conditions that apply.

These Terms do not authorize us to charge you automatically. You will not be charged for a paid feature unless you affirmatively choose to purchase it and agree to the applicable payment terms.

If additional terms are presented for a paid feature, those additional terms will apply to that feature. If they conflict with these Terms, the additional terms will control only with respect to that feature.

We may continue offering free features, limit free features, change the features available without charge, or discontinue free access. We do not promise that every feature that is free today will remain free indefinitely.

5. Beta and experimental features

The Service may include beta, preview, experimental, or unfinished features.

These features may be changed or removed without notice and may contain errors, produce incorrect results, lose data, or operate differently from their descriptions.

You should not rely on a beta or experimental feature for critical data or decisions. Where practical, maintain your own backup or export before using such a feature.

Feedback about beta and experimental features is welcome but does not require us to continue developing or releasing them.

6. Your content and data

“User Content” means information or material that you create, upload, import, enter, submit, or store through the Service.

User Content may include:

chess repertoires, opening lines, moves, variations, and annotations;
PGN files and other imported chess material;
training records, review history, and scheduling data;
settings and linked-account information;
feedback and support messages; and
other material you provide through the Service.

6.1 Your ownership

As between you and OnlyMove AI, you retain any ownership rights you have in your User Content.

These Terms do not transfer ownership of your repertoire or other User Content to us.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the rights and permissions necessary to upload, import, store, process, or use your User Content through the Service.

For example, you must not import, reproduce, or distribute copyrighted annotations, courses, books, databases, videos, or other material unless you have permission or another lawful basis to do so.

6.2 License needed to operate the Service

You grant the operator of OnlyMove AI a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, format, convert, and otherwise use your User Content only as reasonably necessary to:

provide the features you request;
synchronize your information across devices;
process imports and exports;
generate training schedules and chess analysis;
maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service;
prevent fraud, abuse, or violations of these Terms;
respond to support requests; and
comply with applicable law or valid legal process.

This license does not transfer ownership of your User Content to us.

It does not give us the right to sell your private repertoire as content belonging to OnlyMove AI.

The license ends when your User Content is deleted from our active systems, except where limited copies must temporarily remain in backups, security records, diagnostic systems, or legal records.

Our handling of personal information is described further in the OnlyMove AI Privacy Policy.

6.3 Exports and backups

The Service may provide features that allow you to export your repertoire or other data.

You are responsible for creating exports or backups before:

deleting your account;
replacing or importing data;
clearing local browser or application storage;
changing or resetting a device;
uninstalling an application; or
taking another action that may result in data loss.

We do not guarantee that every item of User Content will always be exportable or recoverable in every format.

7. Acceptable use

You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You may not:

violate any applicable law, regulation, court order, or contractual obligation;
infringe or misappropriate another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, database, contractual, or other rights;
upload, import, or use material that you do not have a lawful right to use;
use the Service to harass, threaten, defraud, impersonate, or harm another person;
access or attempt to access another user’s account or data without authorization;
probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without prior written permission;
bypass authentication, access controls, rate limits, or other technical restrictions;
introduce malware, malicious code, harmful files, or disruptive instructions;
interfere with or place an unreasonable load on the Service or its infrastructure;
use scraping, crawling, automated extraction, or similar methods to obtain data from the Service, except through an export feature or interface intentionally made available for that purpose;
use bots, scripts, or other automated methods to create accounts or generate abusive traffic;
reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive non-public source code or underlying components of the Service, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits;
reproduce, resell, rent, sublicense, or commercially exploit access to the Service without written permission;
use the Service or its outputs to build a competing dataset, product, or service through unauthorized bulk extraction;
interfere with another user’s ability to use the Service; or
assist another person in doing any of the above.

We may investigate suspected misuse.

We may restrict access, block automated requests, preserve relevant records, remove content, or cooperate with lawful investigations where reasonably necessary.

8. Chess fair play

OnlyMove AI is intended for study, preparation, and post-game analysis.

You may not use OnlyMove AI, its engine analysis, opening suggestions, stored repertoire, or any other assistance from the Service during:

a live chess game;
an examination;
a tournament or competition; or
another activity in which outside assistance is prohibited.

You are responsible for understanding and following the fair-play rules, competition rules, and terms of any chess platform, organizer, federation, school, club, or event in which you participate.

OnlyMove AI does not authorize conduct that violates the rules of Lichess, Chess.com, a tournament organizer, or any other third party.

We may restrict or terminate accounts that use the Service to facilitate cheating, fraud, or other prohibited conduct.

9. Third-party services and platforms

The Service may interact with or link to third-party services, including Lichess and Chess.com.

These integrations may allow you to:

sign in;
link an account;
import games;
retrieve publicly available chess information;
open a chess position on another platform; or
use another third-party feature.

Your use of a third-party service is governed by that third party’s own terms and policies. You are responsible for complying with them.

OnlyMove AI does not control and is not responsible for:

the availability, security, accuracy, or operation of third-party services;
changes to third-party APIs, permissions, limits, or policies;
actions taken by a third party regarding your account;
content or information supplied by a third party;
the accuracy or completeness of imported third-party information; or
losses caused by the interruption, restriction, or termination of a third-party integration.

A link or integration does not mean that the third party sponsors, endorses, or is affiliated with OnlyMove AI.

Lichess, Chess.com, and other third-party names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

You may disconnect supported linked accounts through the Service where that functionality is available. Disconnecting an account may prevent related features from working.

10. OnlyMove AI intellectual property

Except for User Content and third-party materials, the Service – including its software, interfaces, visual design, text, graphics, logos, organization, features, and other content – is owned by or licensed to the operator of OnlyMove AI and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Subject to these Terms, you receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable right to access and use the Service for your own lawful purposes.

This license does not permit you to:

copy or distribute substantial portions of the Service;
remove copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
use the OnlyMove AI name, logo, domain, or branding in a way that suggests sponsorship or endorsement;
create derivative products from non-public parts of the Service;
access or use the Service in a way that exceeds intentionally provided functionality; or
use the Service beyond the permissions expressly granted in these Terms.

Some software components used by the Service may be provided under open-source licenses.

Those components remain subject to their applicable open-source licenses. Nothing in these Terms limits rights granted under an applicable open-source license.

No rights are granted by implication or estoppel.

11. Feedback

We welcome feedback, ideas, suggestions, bug reports, and other comments about the Service.

If you submit feedback, you grant the operator of OnlyMove AI a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, and royalty-free right to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, distribute, and incorporate that feedback into the Service or related activities without restriction or compensation to you.

This provision applies to ideas, suggestions, and feedback. It does not transfer ownership of your private chess repertoire or other User Content.

Do not submit information through a feedback form that you consider confidential or that you do not have the right to disclose.

12. Privacy

The OnlyMove AI Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and disclosed in connection with the Service.

By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have reviewed the Privacy Policy.

If these Terms and the Privacy Policy address the same subject differently, the Privacy Policy controls with respect to the handling of personal information.

13. Copyright and intellectual-property concerns

We respect the intellectual-property rights of others.

If you believe material available through the Service infringes your copyright or another intellectual-property right, contact [email protected] and provide:

identification of the protected work;
identification of the allegedly infringing material;
enough information for us to locate the material;
your contact information;
an explanation of why you believe the use is unauthorized; and
any other information required by applicable law.

We may remove or restrict access to material that we reasonably believe infringes another person’s rights.

We may suspend or terminate accounts involved in repeated or serious infringement.

Submitting a knowingly false or misleading infringement notice may expose you to liability.

14. Account deletion

You may stop using the Service at any time.

Where available, you may permanently delete your account through the account settings. You may also contact [email protected] for assistance with an account-deletion request.

Account deletion is irreversible.

You should export any information you wish to retain before deleting your account.

Deletion may remove account information, stored repertoires, training progress, settings, and linked-account information from active account systems.

Some information may remain temporarily in backups, security records, fraud-prevention systems, diagnostic systems, or legal records where reasonably necessary or required by law.

Locally stored information may remain on a device or in browser storage until you delete the application data, clear the browser storage, or remove it through the relevant device controls.

15. Suspension and termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to some or all of the Service if we reasonably believe:

you have violated these Terms;
your account creates a security or legal risk;
your use harms other users, third parties, or the Service;
suspension is necessary to comply with law or valid legal process;
a third-party service requires us to disable an integration;
you are using the Service to facilitate cheating, fraud, or abuse; or
the Service or a relevant feature is being discontinued.

Where reasonable, we will attempt to provide notice before terminating an account.

We may act without advance notice where reasonably necessary to address fraud, security threats, illegal activity, abuse, or a risk of harm.

Termination does not affect rights or obligations that arose before termination.

Provisions concerning ownership, licenses required for retained records, feedback, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and other provisions that by their nature should survive will remain in effect.

16. Chess analysis and educational disclaimer

OnlyMove AI is an educational and training tool.

It does not guarantee that you will:

remember a particular move;
improve your chess rating;
win a game;
avoid mistakes;
learn an opening within a particular period; or
achieve any particular competitive result.

Chess-engine evaluations, suggested lines, repertoire recommendations, game classifications, spaced-repetition schedules, statistics, and other generated results may be incomplete, outdated, misleading, or incorrect.

A chess engine’s preferred move may also depend on engine version, configuration, search depth, hardware, time, opening database, position context, or other factors.

You are responsible for reviewing suggestions before adding them to your repertoire or relying on them.

You remain responsible for your own chess decisions and training practices.

17. Availability and data loss

We work to maintain the Service, but we do not guarantee continuous availability.

The Service may be unavailable because of:

maintenance;
software errors;
hosting or network failures;
security incidents;
third-party service failures;
changes to external APIs;
excessive traffic;
legal requirements; or
events outside our reasonable control.

The Service is not intended to be the sole storage location for irreplaceable information.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate exports or backups of information that is important to you.

18. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

The operator of OnlyMove AI and its contributors, contractors, suppliers, and licensors disclaim all express, implied, and statutory warranties, including warranties of:

merchantability;
fitness for a particular purpose;
title;
non-infringement;
quiet enjoyment; and
any warranties arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that:

the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
defects or errors will be corrected;
the Service will be compatible with every device, operating system, or browser;
imported or stored information will never be lost, corrupted, duplicated, or changed;
third-party integrations will continue to operate;
chess analysis or suggestions will be accurate;
training schedules will produce a particular result; or
the Service will meet your particular requirements.

You access, download, import, export, and rely on information through the Service at your own discretion and risk.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

19. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE OPERATOR OF ONLYMOVE AI AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS, CONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

This includes damages arising from:

loss, corruption, alteration, or disclosure of data;
loss of access to an account or repertoire;
loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or business opportunities;
interruption or unavailability of the Service;
conduct or content of another user or third party;
a third-party platform, API, or integration;
reliance on chess analysis, recommendations, statistics, or scheduling;
changes to or discontinuation of the Service; or
inability to access or use the Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of the operator of OnlyMove AI and its contributors, contractors, suppliers, and licensors for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:

US$100; or
the amount you paid directly for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

This limitation is a maximum cap. It does not create an entitlement to US$100 or impose automatic liability.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory asserted and even if the possibility of damages was known or should have been known.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded, including any liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury, or violation of mandatory consumer rights.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions or limitations of liability. In those jurisdictions, these provisions apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

20. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the operator of OnlyMove AI and its contributors, contractors, suppliers, and licensors from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable expenses, including legal fees, arising out of or relating to:

your material violation of these Terms;
your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Service;
your User Content;
your infringement or violation of another person’s rights;
your use of the Service to facilitate cheating, fraud, or abuse; or
your violation of a third-party platform’s terms or fair-play rules.

We reserve the right to control the defense of a matter covered by this section.

You agree to provide reasonable cooperation. You may not settle a claim in a manner that imposes liability or obligations on us without prior written consent.

This section does not require a consumer to indemnify us where such an obligation is prohibited by applicable law.

21. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Subject to mandatory rights you may have under applicable consumer law, you and the operator of OnlyMove AI agree that claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Washington State, United States.

You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If you are a consumer, this section does not deprive you of protections or rights that cannot be waived under the laws of the country, state, or region where you live.

Before filing a formal legal claim, you and the operator of OnlyMove AI agree to make a reasonable, good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally.

A notice of dispute may be sent to [email protected] and should describe:

the nature of the dispute;
the relevant facts;
the requested resolution; and
appropriate contact information for a response.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent temporary or injunctive relief where necessary to prevent immediate or irreparable harm.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect:

changes to the Service;
new features;
changes to our practices;
legal or regulatory requirements;
security concerns; or
other operational needs.

When we update the Terms, we will post the revised version and update the “Last updated” date.

For material changes, we may also provide notice through the Service or ask you to review and accept the revised Terms.

Unless a change must take effect sooner for legal or security reasons, material changes will apply prospectively from the stated effective date.

Your continued use of the Service after revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of those revised Terms.

If you do not agree to a revision, you must stop using the Service and may delete your account.

23. Changes to or discontinuation of the Service

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service.

Where reasonably practical, we may provide advance notice of a material discontinuation and an opportunity to export supported account data.

However, advance notice may not be possible where immediate action is required because of:

security concerns;
legal requirements;
third-party platform changes;
infrastructure failures; or
circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We are not obligated to maintain or support any feature indefinitely.

24. General terms

24.1 Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms that expressly apply to a feature, constitute the entire agreement concerning your use of the Service.

They replace prior agreements or understandings concerning the same subject.

24.2 Severability

If a provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.

The remaining provisions will remain effective.

24.3 No waiver

A failure to enforce a provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or of the right to enforce it later.

24.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent.

The operator of OnlyMove AI may assign or transfer these Terms in connection with:

the formation of a legal entity that assumes operation of the Service;

a reorganization;
a sale or transfer of assets;

labor disputes;
internet, cloud-hosting, or utility failures;
cyberattacks;
government actions;
third-party platform failures; or
widespread hardware or software failures.

24.6 No agency or partnership

These Terms do not create an employment, agency, partnership, franchise, or joint-venture relationship between you and the operator of OnlyMove AI.

24.7 No third-party beneficiaries

Except as expressly stated in these Terms, these Terms do not create enforceable rights for any third party.

24.8 Headings
