Terms of Service

1. Acceptance and eligibility

These Terms of Service govern use of Veya. By creating an account or using account features, publishing tools, Premium access, credits, support systems or other Veya services, you agree to these Terms and the policies linked from them.

You must be legally able to enter into these Terms. If local law requires parental or guardian consent for your age group, you may use the service only with the consent and safeguards required by that law. Mature 18+ content has separate eligibility requirements.

2. Accounts and account security

• Provide accurate account information and keep it reasonably current.
• Protect account credentials and do not share privileged or security-sensitive access.
• Do not impersonate another person, evade a suspension, or create accounts to bypass platform restrictions.
• Notify Veya through the Help Center if you believe an account has been compromised.

Actions performed through an account may be treated as actions of that account holder unless the platform has reason to believe the account was compromised.

3. Your content and the license you give Veya

You keep ownership of original content you create and upload to Veya, subject to any rights you have already granted to others.

To operate the service, you grant the Veya operator a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, display, distribute and make your content available through Veya, and to create technical copies or previews needed for delivery, moderation, backup and discovery. This license is limited to operating, securing, promoting and improving the service and ends when the content is removed, except where retention is reasonably required for backups, disputes, legal obligations or platform integrity.

You represent that you have the rights needed to upload and publish the content and that doing so does not unlawfully violate another person’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity or other rights.

4. Prohibited conduct and content

You may not use Veya for unlawful activity, abuse, fraud, security attacks, spam, manipulation of platform metrics, harassment, doxxing, threats, intellectual-property infringement, non-consensual intimate material, sexual exploitation, or content that violates the Community Guidelines.

Attempts to bypass access controls, Mature-content restrictions, payment controls, moderation actions, rate limits or account restrictions are prohibited.

5. Mature 18+ content

Mature content must be accurately labeled and may be shown only to users who satisfy Veya’s Mature-content eligibility rules. Authors are responsible for using appropriate ratings and warnings.

Some adult-oriented content may be restricted, made non-monetizable or removed because of law, payment-provider rules, hosting-provider rules, safety requirements or the Mature Content Policy even when fictional adult content is otherwise permitted on the platform.

6. Credits, Premium access and purchases

Veya may offer platform credits that can be used for eligible digital access such as Premium chapters. Credits are a limited platform-use entitlement, are not legal tender, do not represent a bank account or stored-value deposit, and have no cash value except where applicable law requires otherwise.

A successful Premium purchase grants the purchasing account access to the relevant digital content under these Terms. It does not transfer copyright or ownership of the chapter or story.

Prices, available credit products, payment methods, refund handling and taxes can vary by provider, country and operator configuration. Mandatory consumer rights under applicable law are not excluded by these Terms.

7. Author earnings and payouts

Where author monetization is enabled, eligible earnings may be recorded from Premium purchases or other supported monetization sources. Earnings can be subject to platform rules, refunds, chargebacks, disputes, fraud review, settlement timing, payout thresholds, provider fees, tax obligations and identity or compliance checks.

A displayed earnings balance is not a guarantee that a payout is immediately available. The operator may withhold, reverse or delay amounts when reasonably necessary to resolve fraud, refunds, disputes, legal obligations or payment-provider requirements.

Authors are responsible for providing accurate payout and tax information to the relevant provider and for their own tax obligations unless applicable law requires the operator to collect, withhold or report taxes.

8. Moderation and enforcement

Veya may review, restrict visibility, unpublish, remove or preserve content, and may warn, suspend or deactivate accounts when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, the Community Guidelines, Mature-content rules, copyright requirements, security controls or applicable law.

Moderation decisions can use reports, automated signals, audit information and staff review. Where Veya provides an appeal process, eligible users may submit an appeal through the available appeal or support flow.

9. Intellectual-property complaints

Veya responds to sufficiently detailed copyright and intellectual-property complaints and may remove or restrict disputed material while a claim is reviewed. Repeat or serious infringement can result in account restrictions or termination.

See the Copyright & Takedown Policy for the information needed to submit a claim or counter-notice.

10. Service availability and changes

Veya may change, suspend or discontinue features, providers, pricing structures, eligibility rules or technical systems. Reasonable efforts should be made to preserve purchased access and account data where practicable, but uninterrupted availability is not guaranteed.

Maintenance, outages, provider failures, security incidents, legal requirements or force-majeure events can temporarily affect access.

11. Ending use of Veya

You may stop using Veya at any time and may request account closure through available account or support controls. The operator may suspend or terminate access for serious or repeated violations, security risk, fraud, legal requirements or prolonged operational necessity.

Provisions that by their nature should continue after termination, including ownership, payment reconciliation, dispute handling, liability limitations and legal compliance, may survive termination.

12. Disclaimers and responsibility limits

Veya provides a platform for user-created stories and community interaction. Unless the operator expressly states otherwise, user content represents the author’s views, not an endorsement or factual statement by Veya.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided on an as-available basis and the operator does not guarantee that every feature will be error-free, uninterrupted or suitable for every purpose.

Nothing in these Terms excludes rights, remedies, warranties or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including mandatory consumer protections that apply to you.

13. Changes and applicable law

These Terms may be updated as the service, operator, providers or legal requirements change. Material changes should be communicated in a reasonable way before they take effect where required by law.

The laws and dispute rules that apply can depend on the Veya operator’s place of establishment, your location and mandatory consumer or platform laws. Nothing in these Terms removes protections that applicable law says cannot be waived.
