Terms of Service
The short version: Alibi ("the App") is a fake-call entertainment utility. By using the App, you agree to these terms. Please use the App responsibly, ethically, and in compliance with all applicable laws.
Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using Alibi ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and the Alibi development team ("we", "us", "our"). We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of any modifications.
Description of Service
Alibi is a mobile application designed for entertainment purposes. The App provides:
- Fake call simulation โ realistic incoming-call screens with customizable callers, ringtones (including audio you import), and vibration patterns.
- Scene library โ curated scripted scenarios with pre-written dialogue for common escape situations.
- Custom scenes and callers โ build your own callers, avatars, phone numbers, and scripts, synced to your account.
- AI voice calls (Gemini Live) โ optional real-time conversation with an AI caller using Google Gemini Live. Audio is streamed to Google during the call for processing.
- Voice cloning โ optional feature where a short voice sample you record is used by MiniMax to synthesize AI voice responses in a voice of your choice.
- Built-in voice library โ a curated set of preset voices (provided by MiniMax) bound to the default scenes for users who don't want to clone their own.
- Scheduled triggers โ countdown timers to initiate fake calls at a specified time.
The App is intended solely for personal entertainment and social convenience. It is not designed or intended for use in any fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal activities.
User Accounts
The App requires an account to use most features, including custom scene sync, AI voice calls, and voice cloning. Accounts are created by entering your email address and verifying a one-time code (no password). You may alternatively sign in with Apple or Google where available.
By creating an account:
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of the email inbox used to receive one-time codes.
- You must not share your account with others or allow unauthorized access.
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
- You may delete your account at any time from Settings โ Account โ Delete Account, which removes your scenes, cloned voices, and associated data from our servers within 30 days.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the App to:
- Commit, facilitate, or promote any fraud, scam, or deceptive practice.
- Impersonate law enforcement, government officials, emergency services, or any real individual with the intent to deceive or cause harm.
- Clone the voice of any real person without their clear, informed consent, or use a cloned voice to impersonate them without consent.
- Use AI voice features to produce content that defames, harasses, or misrepresents any real person or entity.
- Make fake emergency calls or interfere with real emergency services in any way.
- Harass, threaten, intimidate, or cause emotional distress to any person.
- Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code of the App.
- Modify, adapt, or create derivative works based on the App.
- Distribute, sell, rent, lease, or sublicense the App or any part thereof.
Important: The App is designed as a lighthearted tool for politely excusing yourself from social situations. Any use that causes harm to others or violates the law is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of your access.
Intellectual Property
All content, features, and functionality of the App โ including but not limited to design, text, graphics, icons, audio, software code, and trademarks โ are the exclusive property of Alibi and are protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. This license does not include:
- The right to copy, modify, or distribute the App or any part of it.
- The right to use our trademarks, logos, or branding without prior written consent.
- The right to use the App for any commercial purpose without authorization.
User-Generated Content
The App allows you to create and import custom content, including:
- Custom callers and scenes (names, phone numbers, emoji avatars, scripts) — stored in our backend and synced to your account.
- Imported ringtone audio — stored locally on your device only.
- Voice samples used for voice cloning — uploaded through our backend to MiniMax for model training.
You retain ownership of any content you create or import. However, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your content:
- Does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party. Imported ringtones must be either original, royalty-free, or used with the rightsholder's permission. We may remove infringing content upon a valid complaint.
- Does not contain unlawful, defamatory, or harmful material.
- Does not impersonate real individuals without their clear, informed consent — this applies especially to cloned voices.
By uploading a voice sample for cloning, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process, store, and transmit the sample to MiniMax solely for the purpose of creating and using the voice model on your behalf. You may revoke this license at any time by deleting the cloned voice in Settings, which triggers deletion in our backend and a request for deletion at MiniMax.
AI-generated voice output produced by the App is not a recording of any real person; you are responsible for any onward use of that output outside the App.
