Terms of Service

Last Updated: December 26, 2025

Welcome to Ionia Media, Inc., doing business as Story Prism (“we,“ “our,“ or “us“). These Terms of Service (“Terms“) govern your access to and use of our website, writing platform, and services (collectively, the “Service“).

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Service.

  1. Account Registration
    • To access our platform, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. We reserve the right to suspend any account that provides false information or violates these Terms.
  2. Subscription Plans and Payment
    • We offer a tiered subscription model designed to scale with your creative needs. By subscribing, you agree to the specific limits and fees associated with your chosen plan.
      1. The 7-Day All-Access Trial

        New accounts are eligible for a one-time 7-day All-Access Trial. During this period, you will have access to Premium-tier features. Upon the expiration of the 7 days, your account will automatically transition to the Free Plan unless a paid subscription is active.

      2. Subscription Tiers
        • Free Plan: Following the expiration of the 7-day trial, the Free Plan includes full access to the document editor, unlimited canvas use and creation, and access to all writing templates. The Free Plan does not include any AI model generations.
        • Basic Plan ($10/mo or $96/yr): Includes 1,000 base generations per month, all templates, Document Upload, and Auto-tagging.
        • Standard Plan ($20/mo or $192/yr): Includes Unlimited Base Generations, 300 Core Generations per month, and 8 Advanced Reasoning Generations per 3-hour rolling window. Includes all templates, Document Upload, and Auto-tagging.
        • Premium Plan ($40/mo or $384/yr): Includes Unlimited Base Generations, 750 Core Generations per month, and 15 Advanced Reasoning Generations per 3-hour rolling window. Includes all templates, Document Upload, and Auto-tagging.
      3. Rolling Usage Limits for Advanced Reasoning Models

        Standard and Premium plans include an allotment of Advanced Reasoning generations governed by a rolling time window rather than a daily reset.

        • Standard Plan: 8 Advanced Reasoning generations per 3-hour window.
        • Premium Plan: 15 Advanced Reasoning generations per 3-hour window.

        How the Rolling Limit Works:

        You may send up to your plan's limit (8 or 15 messages) within any 3-hour period. Each individual advanced credit resets exactly 3 hours after the specific time it was used. Unused capacity does not accumulate beyond the specified limit.

      4. AI Model Tier Definitions

        To provide a variety of creative and analytical capabilities, Story Prism categorizes its AI assistants into three tiers based on their speed, logic, and prose quality:

        • Base Models: High-speed, efficient models designed for rapid brainstorming, world-building, and quick drafting.
        • Current models include: GPT 4.1 Mini, Gemini 2.5 Flash, DeepSeek V3, GPT-5 Mini, and Grok 4 Fast (Non-Reasoning).
        • Core Models: High-quality, balanced models designed for nuanced scene work, character development, and improved prose.
        • Current models include: Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Grok 3, and O4-Mini.
        • Advanced Reasoning Models: Our most powerful models designed for deep narrative analysis, solving complex plot holes, and identifying logical inconsistencies.
        • Current models include: GPT-5, Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Grok 4 (Reasoning), and Claude-Opus 4.1.

        Note on Model Availability: Ionia Media, Inc. reserves the right to update, add, or remove specific models from these tiers at any time to ensure optimal performance and service quality.

      5. Billing and Refunds

        All payments are processed securely via Stripe. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis and will auto-renew unless canceled through your account dashboard prior to the next billing cycle. Fees are non-refundable except at our sole discretion or where required by law.

  3. Use of the Service and AI Generations
    • The platform categorizes AI responses (“Generations“) into three tiers:
      • Base Generations: High-speed models for general brainstorming and drafting.
      • Core Generations: High-quality models for nuanced prose and character development.
      • Advanced Reasoning: Powerful models for deep narrative analysis and complex logic.
      1. Fair Use Policy

        “Unlimited“ generations are intended for manual, human creative use only. We reserve the right to throttle, suspend, or terminate accounts displaying behavior that suggests automated use, bot activity, or abuse that degrades the service for other users. Unused monthly generations do not roll over to the following month.

      2. Prohibited Conduct

        You agree not to:

        • Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, or offensive purposes.
