3. SUBSCRIPTION AND PAID SERVICES
3.1. Joi AI offers you two account access programs which are the following:
“Basic”: which provides limited access to the Service. We reserve the right to deny the free use to anyone at any time at our own discretion.
“Premium”: a subscription-fee based program.
You can become a subscriber to Premium by purchasing a subscription to the Service directly on our website using a valid credit or debit card. Additionally, payment can be made via Google Pay or Apple Pay, if supported by your device, or using cryptocurrency, where available.
Certain additional paid features, add-ons, content, Virtual friends, characters, bots, or other services may be available only to users with an active Premium subscription and may require a separate purchase or subscription, as described in these Terms or in the Service.
3.2. “Premium” is a recurring subscription that will be billed automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis, depending on the plan you choose. The payment will be processed securely, and the charge will appear on your bank statement as joi.com.
Your subscription will remain active as long as payments are successfully processed. If your payment is not completed within 7 days of the due date, your subscription will automatically be downgraded to “Basic.”
You can cancel your subscription at any time in the My Subscriptions section of your account.
Premium is required to access certain paid add-ons, including subscriptions to individual Virtual friends, characters, or bots. If your Premium subscription is canceled, expires, is suspended, or is downgraded to Basic, your access to such paid add-ons will be suspended unless and until your Premium subscription is reactivated.
3.3. Bot Subscriptions
Users with an active Premium subscription may purchase a separate subscription to certain individual Virtual friends, characters, or bots available in the Service (“Bot Subscription”).
Unless expressly stated otherwise at the time of purchase, a Bot Subscription is not limited by a fixed subscription term and remains associated with your account for as long as the Service and the relevant Virtual friend, character, or bot remain available, subject to your compliance with these Terms. A Bot Subscription does not grant you ownership of any Virtual friend, character, bot, content, feature, or part of the Service, and only provides a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to access the relevant Virtual friend, character, or bot through the Service, subject to these Terms.
A Bot Subscription is an add-on to Premium and does not provide access to the Service, Premium features, or the relevant Virtual friend, character, or bot on a standalone basis. You must maintain an active Premium subscription in order to access and use any Bot Subscription.
If your Premium subscription is canceled, expires, is suspended, or is downgraded to Basic for any reason, your Bot Subscription will remain associated with your account, but your access to the relevant Virtual friend, character, or bot will be suspended. If you subsequently reactivate your Premium subscription, your access to the Bot Subscription will be restored, provided that the Bot Subscription has not been canceled, terminated, refunded, revoked, or otherwise discontinued in accordance with these Terms.
You acknowledge that any period during which you do not have an active Premium subscription may result in your inability to access or use your Bot Subscription. Unless required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise, such suspension of access due to the absence of an active Premium subscription does not entitle you to a refund, credit, compensation, or extension of the Bot Subscription.
3.4. We also have Neurons, which are used for services which are not included in Subscription or Bot Subscriptions, including but not limited to romantic, erotic or sexually explicit messages, visual content, or adult-themed scenarios. One romantic message costs 4 neurons to be read. One photo view costs up to 120 neurons depending on the theme. One video view costs up to 1900 neurons depending on the theme. Our loyal customers may get beneficial pricing which depends on their use of service.
3.5. You may send Virtual gifts to your Virtual friend. The price of each Virtual gift is specified in Neurons and varies depending on the selected Virtual gift. The required number of Neurons will be displayed when you pick the Virtual gift in the Chat.
3.6. “Premium”, Bot Subscription, and Neuron prices may vary based on region, length of subscription, selected Virtual friend, character, or bot, available promotions, and other factors.
3.7. The renewal subscription fees for Premium will continue to be billed to the Payment Method you provided through the marketplace, automatically until canceled. In case you prefer not to renew your Premium subscription, you shall cancel your Premium subscription before its renewal each billing period in order to avoid billing of the next subscription fee to the Payment Method you provided.
If a Bot Subscription is offered on a recurring payment basis, the applicable renewal fees for such Bot Subscription will continue to be billed automatically until canceled. If a Bot Subscription is offered for an indefinite period or as a non-recurring purchase, no renewal fee will be charged for that Bot Subscription unless expressly stated at the time of purchase.
You shall not claim refunds for any partial period of subscription. You can modify or cancel your paid subscription only on the Website where you originally acquired the subscription.
Cancellation, expiration, suspension, or downgrade of Premium does not automatically cancel any Bot Subscription, unless expressly stated otherwise. However, access to any Bot Subscription requires an active Premium subscription, as described above.
4. TERMINATION OF SERVICE
4.1. You may terminate your account at any time by deleting your account in the Service. This action is irreversible. If you delete your account, all the data associated with your use of the Service will be removed according to our Privacy Policy.
You may terminate “Premium” and downgrade to “Basic” at any time without deleting your account. Be noted that termination of “Premium” is effective at the end of the applicable billing period.
If you terminate “Premium”, cancel “Premium”, fail to pay for “Premium”, or are downgraded to “Basic”, you will lose access to all features, add-ons, Virtual friends, characters, bots, and Bot Subscriptions that require an active Premium subscription. Your Bot Subscription may remain associated with your account, but access to it will be suspended unless and until you reactivate “Premium”, provided that such Bot Subscription has not been canceled, terminated, refunded, revoked, or otherwise discontinued in accordance with these Terms.
Deletion of your account may result in permanent loss of access to “Premium”, Bot Subscriptions, Neurons, Virtual gifts, Virtual friends, characters, bots, and any other paid or unpaid features associated with your account, subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
4.2. We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and without limitation, including but not limited to a breach of the Terms.
Such termination or suspension may also result in suspension or loss of access to “Premium”, Bot Subscriptions, Neurons, Virtual gifts, Virtual friends, characters, bots, and any other paid or unpaid features associated with your account, subject to applicable law.

12. DISPUTES
Disputes.
Section applicable to NON-US RESIDENTS: You acknowledge that the transactions involving your use of the Joi AI and your purchase of products or services took place in the country of incorporation of the Company owning Joi AI . Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to the Website or to products or services sold or distributed or through Joi AI will be resolved by binding arbitration under the LCIA Rules, rather than in court. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The arbitration shall take place in London, UK. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The governing law of this Agreement shall be the substantive law of the country of incorporation of the Company owning Joi AI.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. Arbitrators, however, can award you the same damages and relief, and must honor the same terms in this Agreement, as a court would.
The LCIA’s Rules are available at www.lcia.org/Dispute_Resolution_Services/lcia-arbitration-rules-2014. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the LCIA’s rules.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD MONEY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION HELD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
You will attempt to resolve all disputes with respect to the Services through communication with Joi AI’s customer service. If parties are unable to resolve the dispute, You must use the dispute resolution mechanism discussed above in this Section. Please also note should you chargeback any transactions billed to your account, Joi AI may be required to disclose any and/or all private communications sent/received by You through our Service in order to prove the validity of the charges billed to Your account and Joi AI’s privacy policy will therefore not restrain any such disclosures.
Section applicable to US RESIDENTS: READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO SUBMIT THEIR DISPUTES TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM JOI AI . You thus give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and not a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. This arbitration agreement further includes an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceedings). Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to or use of the Website or to products or services sold or distributed by Joi AI or through Joi AI shall be resolved in the following manner.
Informal Process First. You agree to first contact Joi AI Customer Support by email and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally for a period of 60 days. Binding Arbitration. If the dispute has not been resolved in 60 days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or in connection with or relating to the Services and/or this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof, including disputes related to the applicability, enforceability, interpretation or formation of this Agreement to arbitrate, by binding arbitration.
Arbitration Tribunal. The American Arbitration Association («AAA») will administer the arbitration. In the event the AAA declines to administer the arbitration, the arbitrator(s) will be appointed by the New York Supreme Court located in New York County, New York pursuant to New York Civil Practice Law and Rules («CPLR») § 7504. The parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York for the purpose of administering an arbitration under Article 75 of the CPLR. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party’s data security, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights, or to seek other relief in connection with the arbitration.
Arbitrator and Rules. If the arbitration involves claims totaling less than US $250,000, the arbitration will be conducted before a neutral single arbitrator, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act and the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol. If the arbitration involves claims totaling more than US $250,000, the arbitration will be conducted before three neutral arbitrators, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act and the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol. The AAA rules may be found online at www.adr.org.
Location of Arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in New York City, New York, USA, or such other place as chosen by the Arbitration Tribunal. If you live in the United States, you have the right to ask the Arbitration Tribunal to conduct the arbitration near your home if the arbitration involves an in-person hearing. Costs and Fees. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and costs will be governed by AAA rules, but if you are financially unable to pay any of them, Joi AI will pay them for You. Starting an Arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must file a claim with the American Arbitration Association and pay the required fee. The instructions for filing a claim may be found online at www.adr.org.
Your Right to Sue in Small Claims Court. Provided you live in the United States, you may sue for US $5,000 or less in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction as an alternative to engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve You of Your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process, and engaging in the informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent of your right to sue or arbitrate against Joi AI.
CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AND JOI AI AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND JOI AI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Please also note should you charge back any transactions billed to your account, Joi AI may be required to disclose any and/or all private communications sent/received by You through our Service in order to prove the validity of the charges billed to Your account and Joi AI’s privacy policy will therefore not restrain any such disclosures.

The Company maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward human trafficking, sex trafficking, forced labour, sexual exploitation, child sexual abuse material ("CSAM"), and non-consensual intimate imagery ("NCII"). We prohibit the use of our services to recruit, advertise, solicit, coordinate, harbour, transport, obtain, patronise or otherwise facilitate any person for the purpose of a commercial sex act or forced labour, whether such conduct is directed at users of the platform or occurs elsewhere.
This policy applies to all users, employees, contractors, moderators, vendors, affiliates and marketing partners. It is a binding supplement to our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy and Content Standards.
2. Scope and the Nature of Our Content
All adult content on the platform is synthetic. Every item of sexual imagery and video available through the service is generated by artificial-intelligence systems operated and controlled by the Company. The platform does not host photographed or filmed recordings of real sexual conduct, does not accept externally produced pornographic material, does not operate a webcam or live-streaming service, and does not facilitate the sale or arrangement of in-person services of any kind.
Accordingly, the Company's trafficking risk surface is concentrated in three areas, each addressed in this policy:
- Input abuse — attempts to upload, reference or describe a real, identifiable person (including a minor) in order to generate sexual content of that person;
- Communication-channel abuse — use of comments, direct messaging, or multi-user group chats to recruit victims, advertise commercial sexual services, or move users off-platform for that purpose;
- Content abuse — attempts to generate material depicting minors, coercion, or non-consensual acts presented as real.
Where the Company holds records subject to 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and § 2257A, those obligations are addressed in our separate 2257 Compliance Statement. This policy applies in addition to, and not in substitution for, those requirements.
3. Definitions
- Human trafficking — the recruitment, harbouring, transportation, provision, obtaining, patronising or soliciting of a person for labour or services through force, fraud or coercion, or for a commercial sex act where the person is under 18 or where force, fraud or coercion is present (see 22 U.S.C. § 7102; 18 U.S.C. § 1591).
- Commercial sex act — any sex act on account of which anything of value is given to or received by any person.
- Minor — any person under the age of 18, or under the age of majority in the applicable jurisdiction, whichever is higher.
- CSAM — any visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, including material that is drawn, computer-generated, morphed or otherwise synthetic.
- NCII — intimate or sexualised imagery of an identifiable real person created, obtained or distributed without that person's knowing and informed consent, including synthetic or "deepfake" depictions.
- Coercion — threats of serious harm, physical restraint, or any scheme intended to cause a person to believe that failure to perform an act would result in serious harm or restraint.
4. Legal Framework

5. Prohibited Conduct
The following are strictly prohibited on the platform. Violations result in immediate content removal, permanent account termination, and referral to law enforcement where appropriate.
5.1 Trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation
- Advertising, soliciting, arranging, negotiating or promoting commercial sexual services, escorting, prostitution or "sugar" arrangements involving payment for sexual contact;
- Recruiting, grooming or attempting to recruit any person for commercial sexual activity or forced labour, including through offers of employment, modelling, travel, migration assistance or "content creation" opportunities;
- Advertising the availability of a person for sexual purposes, including through coded language, emoji shorthand, price lists, availability schedules, location codes or referral links;
- Using comments, group chats, AI-persona descriptions, profile fields, usernames or generated media as a vehicle to direct users to off-platform channels for any of the above;
- Depicting, celebrating, normalising or providing operational instruction in trafficking, debt bondage, forced labour or sexual servitude.
5.2 Minors
- Any content, prompt, persona, roleplay or conversation that sexualises a minor or depicts a minor in a sexually explicit or suggestive context, including material that is entirely synthetic;
- Creating a persona or character presented as, described as, or plausibly depicting a person under 18 in any sexual context, including through age markers such as school settings, adolescent physical descriptors, or explicit age statements;
- Attempting to circumvent age-related safeguards through euphemism, obfuscation, coded terminology, foreign-language substitution, incremental prompting or jailbreaking;
- Use of the platform by any person under 18.
5.3 Consent and real persons
- Creating sexual content depicting any real person without consent, including public figures;
- Depicting rape, sexual assault, incapacitation, coercion or trafficking presented as a real, non-consensual event.
5.4 Facilitation
- Sharing, requesting or linking to CSAM, NCII or trafficking-related material hosted elsewhere;
- Providing instruction, tooling or evasion techniques that assist any of the above;
- Operating on behalf of, or at the direction of, any person engaged in the above.
6. Preventive Controls
6.1 Age assurance for users. Access to adult functionality requires age confirmation and, where required by applicable law or card-network rule, verification through a third-party age-assurance provider. Accounts reasonably suspected of belonging to a minor are suspended pending verification and terminated where suspicion is confirmed.
6.2 Model-level safeguards. Generation systems incorporate input filters, prompt classifiers and output classifiers designed to refuse and block requests involving minors, real identifiable individuals, and non-consensual or trafficking-related scenarios. Blocking rules cover known evasion terminology and are updated on an ongoing basis. All AI personas made available on the platform are specified and reviewed as adults.
6.3 Community-surface moderation. Comments, direct messages and multi-user group chats are subject to automated screening for trafficking indicators, including solicitation language, rate and price patterns, contact-detail exchange patterns, recruitment scripts, and known coded terminology. Detected content is queued for human review. Group chats are additionally subject to rate limiting, new-account restrictions on link and contact sharing, and automated interruption of exchanges matching high-confidence solicitation patterns.
6.4 Account integrity. The Company applies duplicate-account detection, device and payment-instrument fingerprinting, and blocking of previously terminated actors. Any user permitted to receive payments or monetise on the platform is subject to identity verification (KYC), sanctions and adverse-media screening prior to activation.
6.5 Vendor and partner diligence. Affiliates, marketing partners, traffic sources and content vendors are contractually bound to this policy, prohibited from sourcing traffic from trafficking-linked channels, and subject to termination for breach.
7. Detection Indicators
Moderation and support staff are trained to escalate the following, whether observed in comments, group chats, support tickets or generated content:
- Advertisements of availability with prices, durations, locations, travel dates or "menus" of services;
- Third-party control indicators — a person appearing to speak for another, refusal or inability to communicate directly, scripted or repeated identical messaging across accounts;
- Statements indicating debt, confiscated documents, restricted movement, threats to family, or inability to leave a location or arrangement;
- Recruitment framing — offers of modelling, hostessing, travel, visas, accommodation or "content work" contingent on sexual activity;
- Indicators of minority — references to school, guardians, curfews, grade level, or stated or implied age under 18;
- Rapid attempts to move a conversation to encrypted or off-platform channels immediately following sexualised or transactional messaging;
- Distress signals, requests for help, or references to being held or coerced.
8. Reporting Channels
Any user, any depicted person, any legal representative, and any member of the public may report suspected trafficking, exploitation, CSAM or non-consensual content:
- In-product: the "Report" control available on every comment, chat message, persona and generated media item;
- Email: [email protected] — monitored continuously;
Reports may be made anonymously. Reporting is free of charge, requires no account, and imposes no obligation to identify oneself. The Company does not retaliate against, penalise or restrict any person for making a good-faith report.
Service standards. Reports are acknowledged within 24 hours. Content reported as CSAM, NCII or trafficking-related is subject to immediate provisional removal or restriction pending review. All reports are investigated and resolved within seven (7) business days of receipt. Reporters and affected persons are notified of the outcome. Any person whose content or account is actioned may appeal in writing to [[email protected]] within 30 days; appeals are decided by a reviewer not involved in the original decision within seven (7) business days.
9. Response, Escalation and Reporting to Authorities
Upon substantiated identification of prohibited conduct, the Company will:
- Remove the offending content immediately and disable further generation or distribution;
- Terminate the account permanently and block associated devices, payment instruments and identifiers;
- Preserve all associated content, metadata, logs, IP addresses, payment records and communications in a secured, access-restricted evidence store, in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 2258A(h), for a minimum of 90 days and longer upon request of law enforcement or where litigation or investigation is reasonably anticipated;
- Report apparent CSAM to the NCMEC CyberTipline (report.cybertip.org) without delay, as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, and to the equivalent national authority in other applicable jurisdictions;
- Refer suspected trafficking to appropriate law enforcement, and where a victim is identified or self-identifies, provide the National Human Trafficking Hotline (1-888-373-7888, text "HELP" to 233733) and comparable local resources, with a victim-centred, non-judgmental response;
- Notify payment partners and acquiring banks where required under applicable network rules;
- Conduct root-cause review to identify and close the control gap that permitted the conduct.
Company personnel do not download, reproduce, forward or retain suspected CSAM outside the controlled preservation process. Access is restricted to designated, trained personnel.
10. Law Enforcement Cooperation
The Company cooperates fully with law enforcement and regulatory authorities investigating trafficking and exploitation. Requests should be directed to [email protected]. We respond to valid subpoenas, court orders, warrants and mutual legal assistance requests, honour preservation requests promptly, and, in exigent circumstances involving a risk of death or serious bodily injury, may disclose information voluntarily as permitted by 18 U.S.C. § 2702. The Company will not notify a user of a law enforcement request where notification is prohibited by law or would compromise an investigation or victim safety.
11. Recordkeeping
The Company maintains, for a minimum of five (5) years or such longer period as applicable law requires:
- A register of all trafficking, CSAM and NCII reports, including receipt date, nature, investigative steps, outcome, resolution date and any external referral;
- Records of consent and identity documentation obtained in respect of any real person appearing in or referenced by content, where applicable;
- Terminated-account records sufficient to prevent re-registration;
- Training completion records;
- Records of law enforcement referrals and NCMEC reports.
Records are stored securely, access-logged, and handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law. Personal data of suspected victims is processed on the basis of substantial public interest and is not used for any commercial purpose.
12. Training
All employees and contractors with access to user content, support queues or moderation tooling complete trafficking- and exploitation-awareness training prior to receiving access and annually thereafter. Training covers legal definitions, this platform's specific abuse vectors, indicator recognition, escalation procedures, evidence handling, victim-centred communication, and the prohibition on retaliation. Moderation staff additionally receive training on coded terminology, and are provided with wellness and psychological support resources.
13. Consequences of Violation
Violation of this policy results in permanent account termination without refund, forfeiture of any balance to the extent permitted by law, preservation and referral of records to law enforcement, and permanent prohibition from re-registering. The Company reserves all rights and remedies, including civil claims and cooperation with prosecutions.
