Refund and Fraud Policy

Policy Overview
At project-genie.org ("the Service"), we provide access to Interactive AI World Generation services powered by Google DeepMind's Genie 3 technology. This policy outlines our waitlist program, service delivery terms, and fraud prevention measures to ensure transparency and a secure user experience for all creators.

1. Waitlist Program

Project Genie is currently in development with limited beta access. Our AI world generation platform operates on a waitlist-based model for early access to Genie 3.

By joining the waitlist, you express interest in receiving early access when available. Waitlist registration is free and does not guarantee immediate access to the service.

Priority access is determined by:

  • Registration date and time
  • User profile and intended use case
  • Technical requirements and qualifications
  • Geographic availability and rollout schedule

We will notify waitlist members via email when access becomes available. Notifications will include instructions for account activation and service onboarding.

2. Service Access and Delivery

2.1 Beta Access

Selected waitlist members will receive invitations to participate in our beta program. Beta access may include:

  • Limited feature availability
  • Potential service interruptions for testing and improvements
  • Opportunity to provide feedback on world generation quality
  • Early experience with Genie 3 technology

2.2 Service Availability

Once granted access, users can utilize our interactive AI world generation platform subject to:

  • Fair usage policies to ensure optimal performance for all users
  • Rate limiting during peak usage periods
  • Scheduled maintenance windows
  • Feature availability based on rollout schedule

2.3 Account Sharing

Account sharing, automated scripts, or unauthorized API usage may result in account suspension without prior notice.

3. Future Pricing and Payment

Project Genie is currently offered through a waitlist program with no payment required for beta access.

When commercial pricing is introduced in the future:

  • We will provide advance notice to all users
  • Beta participants may receive preferential pricing or credits
  • Terms of payment, refunds, and billing will be clearly communicated
  • Users will have the option to opt-in to paid plans

Any future payment processing will utilize secure third-party providers (such as Stripe) with industry-standard encryption and fraud protection.

4. Refund Policy

4.1 Current Policy (Beta/Waitlist Phase)

As Project Genie currently operates on a free waitlist model with no payment required, refund requests are not applicable at this time.

4.2 Future Commercial Policy

When paid services are introduced, we will implement a fair and transparent refund policy that will include:

  • Clear refund eligibility criteria
  • Defined refund request windows
  • Transparent refund processing timelines
  • Protection for both users and service integrity

All refund policies will be communicated clearly before any payment is required from users.

5. Security and Fraud Prevention

We maintain strict fraud prevention and security protocols for our AI world generation platform, including:

  • User identity verification for waitlist registration
  • Industry-standard encryption for all data transmission
  • Machine-learning fraud detection systems
  • Continuous monitoring and security enhancements
  • Regular security audits and compliance reviews

Accounts involved in fraudulent behavior—including fake registrations, automated abuse, unauthorized access attempts, or service exploitation—may be suspended or terminated immediately. We may report suspicious activity to relevant authorities.

Users must provide accurate information and comply with our Terms of Service and applicable laws when using our AI world generator.

  • The service is in active development and may contain bugs or limitations
