Terms of Service

Last updated 7 November 2026

1. Who this agreement is between

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Hush (the "Service"), operated by Hush Erotica ("we", "us"), whose owner is named in section 16. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy, End User Agreement and Content Guidelines by reference.

You can reach us at:

2. Adults only

The Service produces fiction with graphic sexual content and is strictly for adults. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if that is higher, to create an account or use the Service.

By using the Service you represent that you meet this requirement. We may terminate any account we believe belongs to a minor, without notice and without refund.

When you create an account we ask for your date of birth and check it against this requirement, and you confirm that you are an adult.

You are responsible for ensuring that accessing graphic sexual content is lawful where you are. The Service is not available where such material is prohibited, or where the law requires an age-verification method we do not offer — in those places you cannot sign up, sign in or listen to stories, wherever your account was opened. You may still download your data, cancel a subscription and delete your account from anywhere. Using technical means to disguise your location to get around this is a breach of these Terms.

3. What the Service does

Hush generates original works of fiction from preferences you provide, and narrates them as audio. Stories are produced by automated systems — large language models and text-to-speech engines — operated by us and by third-party providers.

All content is fiction. Characters, events, and situations are invented. Any resemblance to real people or events is unintended and coincidental. Nothing generated by the Service is a statement of fact, advice, or a depiction of any real person.

Because the content is machine-generated, it may be unpredictable, inconsistent, or may not match your preferences. Stories are not read by a person before they reach you; instead every request and every story is checked automatically against our Content Guidelines, as section 5 describes.

4. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

You may not share your account, sell access to it, or create an account on behalf of anyone else.

You may delete your account at any time from your Preferences page. Deletion is permanent, removes your stories, audio, and preferences, and cancels any active subscription — see the Privacy Policy for detail. Deleting your account does not restore your free-story allowance.

5. Acceptable use

Hush writes fiction about adults who want each other. Whatever a request asks, it will not write, and you must not use the Service to attempt to generate or to publish, any of the following. These apply to fiction, to fantasy and to role-play, to private stories and to published ones, and no context or framing makes any of them acceptable:

  • Anyone under 18. No sexual or romantic content involving anyone under 18 or any character presented as a minor, whatever the setting, framing or claimed age. No childlike descriptions in a sexual context, no age-play, and nothing sexual set in a school for children. If characters knew each other young, nothing romantic or sexual happened between them until both were adults.
  • Non-consent. No rape, sexual assault, coercion, or blackmail or threats into sexual activity. Nothing sexual with anyone asleep, unconscious, drugged, too intoxicated to consent, or under hypnosis or mind control. This includes fiction, "dubious consent" and pre-arranged "consensual non-consent" role-play: every act is clearly wanted by everyone involved.
  • Family members. No sexual or romantic content between relatives, including step-, adoptive and foster family.
  • Animals. No sexual content involving animals. Shapeshifters and other non-human characters are only ever in human form during intimacy.
  • Death. No death, killing or serious injury in a sexual context, and no sexual content involving a dead body.
  • Extreme violence. No torture, mutilation, gore, or blood play in a sexual context.
  • Bodily waste. No scat, urine or vomit in a sexual context.
  • Real people. No real public figures — celebrities, influencers, politicians, athletes or anyone else famous — by name. No details that would identify a real private person: a surname, a workplace, a school, a social media handle or an address. A character may share a first name with someone you know, and a fictional celebrity is fine.
  • Trafficking and paid intimacy. No human trafficking or sexual slavery, and no sexual activity exchanged for payment between characters.
  • Hate. No content that demeans people for their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sexuality or gender identity, and no slurs.
  • Anything else unlawful. Nothing else that is illegal where you live or where Hush operates.

You must also not use the Service to harass, defame or threaten any person, or to infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights.

How these rules are enforced. A request that breaks them is refused before anything is written or charged, and you are told why. Every story is checked as it is written and again when it is finished; a story that breaks them is stopped, and any credits or free story it used are returned. Stories put forward for the Global list are checked again before they appear (section 6).

You must also not: probe or attack the Service's security; use automated means to create accounts or generate stories at scale; attempt to bypass rate limits or usage quotas; resell or redistribute the Service; or reverse-engineer it.

We may suspend or terminate any account that violates this section, remove any published story, and — where the law requires it — report the matter to the relevant authorities.

6. Publishing to the Global list

Stories are private to your account by default. If you choose to publish a story to the Global list, you make it visible to every other signed-in user, who may listen to it, like it, and download it.

Every story is screened before it is published. When you publish, the story is checked against the Content Guidelines by an automated review before it appears, usually within the hour. It is then published, or declined with the reason. People, not software, decide every complaint and appeal, and can remove a published story at any time. A story written about a real person in your own life can never be published.

Complaints and appeals. Anyone — with an account or without — can report a published story that breaks these rules, from the story's Report control or with the form on the Contact page. We review every complaint and act on it within seven business days, and sooner for anything involving a minor. If your story is declined or removed and you think we got it wrong, you can appeal the same way; a person reviews every appeal.

By publishing, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display that story to other users, for as long as it remains published. You can withdraw it at any time by unpublishing, which ends that licence going forward; copies other users already downloaded are outside our control.

You are responsible for what you publish. Do not publish anything containing personal information about yourself or anyone else.

We may remove any published story at our discretion, including on report from another user, without notice.

7. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

What is free. Every account may generate 1 story, of up to 15 minutes, without paying. That allowance is once per account, not once per month, and it is not restored by deleting stories or by deleting and recreating your account. If a story fails to generate, it does not count against the allowance.

What costs money. After the free allowance, generating new stories requires an active subscription to one of these plans, in US dollars:

  • Standard: $8.99 per month, or $85.99 per year — 300 credits each month, stories up to 30 minutes.
  • Premium: $16.99 per month, or $169 per year — 900 credits each month, stories up to 60 minutes.

One credit is one minute of narration; a story costs one credit per minute of the length you choose, and the app shows the cost before you start. Credits are granted monthly on both monthly and yearly plans, do not carry over, and are returned if a story fails to generate. Prices are exclusive of any taxes that may apply where you live.

Introductory offer. After your free story finishes, you may be offered your first year of Standard for $69.99 instead of $85.99. The offer is open for 48 hours from when that story finishes, is shown with the time remaining, and ends when that time runs out; it is offered once per account and is not repeated or extended. The introductory price covers the first year only: the subscription then renews at the standard yearly price of $85.99 each year until you cancel, on the same terms as any other subscription.

Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each month or year, depending on the plan you chose, and your payment method is charged each time, until you cancel. There is no fixed term and no minimum number of periods.

How to cancel, and when it takes effect. You may cancel at any time from the Subscription page in your account. Cancellation stops the next renewal; it is not a refund of the month you are in. You keep access to story generation until the end of the period you have already paid for, and after that your account reverts to the unsubscribed state.

What happens to your stories if a subscription lapses. Nothing. Stories you have already generated remain in your library, readable, playable, and downloadable, whether or not you are subscribed. A subscription covers generating new stories only. We will not delete or lock your existing stories because you stopped paying.

Refunds. Payments are non-refundable except where a refund is required by law, or where we are unable to provide the Service for an extended period. If you believe you have been charged in error, contact us and we will look into it. Nothing in this section limits any statutory right of withdrawal or cancellation you may have as a consumer where you live.

Failed payments. If a payment fails, generation of new stories is paused until payment succeeds. Your existing stories remain available throughout.

Price changes. We may change the subscription price. If we do, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before the new price applies to you, and the change will only take effect at your next renewal after that notice. If you do not want to continue at the new price, cancel before it takes effect.

Your copy of this agreement. These Terms are always available on this page to read, save or print, with the date they were last updated. When you subscribe, the payment processor emails you a confirmation of the plan, price and renewal; together with these Terms it is your record of the agreement. You may also cancel through the payment processor's own support site.

Who takes the payment. Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor, not by us. You will be redirected to the processor's own page to pay. We never see, receive, or store your card details. The processor will appear on your bank or card statement under its own billing descriptor rather than the name "Hush". Your use of the processor's payment page is also subject to that processor's own terms and privacy policy.

What we store about your subscription. Only what is needed to know whether you may generate: an identifier issued by the processor, whether your subscription is active, and when the current paid period ends. See the Privacy Policy.

8. Ownership

We claim no ownership of the stories generated for you. As between you and us, they are yours to use for your own personal, non-commercial purposes.

Be aware that the legal status of copyright in machine-generated works is unsettled and varies by jurisdiction — we make no representation that any generated story is protectable by copyright, or that you hold exclusive rights in it. Similar or identical text may be generated for other users.

The Service itself — its software, design, branding, and the name "Hush" — remains ours.

9. Third-party providers

The Service depends on third parties to function. Text generation, audio narration, email delivery, and payment processing are performed by external providers, which means the content of your preferences and stories is transmitted to them. See the Privacy Policy for who they are and what they receive.

We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of these providers, and their availability is outside our control.

10. Availability and changes

The Service is provided on an "as available" basis. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of it — including deleting stories or the entire Service — at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to give notice of a permanent shutdown, but cannot guarantee it.

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be reflected in the version recorded against your account, and continued use after a change means you accept it.

11. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that generated content will be accurate, appropriate, or suited to your preferences; or that stories and audio will be preserved. Keep your own copy of anything you want to keep.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or CA$100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, in which case the limitations above apply only to the extent permitted.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss, or demand (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your published content, or your breach of these Terms.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for breach of these Terms, or where we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with the law or protect the Service or its users.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law — survive.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your place of residence provides otherwise.
