Terms of Service

Last updated: March 30, 2026

Welcome to Pophie! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Pophie desktop AI companion device, companion software applications, cloud-based features, content services, firmware updates, and all related services (collectively, the "Services") provided by INSBOTICS TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

By activating, setting up, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not activate or use the Services and refer to our return policy for eligible returns. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable warranty, return, or subscription terms published by us, form the complete agreement governing your use of the Services.

If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Services only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. If you are under the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, your parent or guardian must provide verifiable consent.

1. Product Description

Pophie is a desktop interactive companion device powered by generative artificial intelligence and related technologies, capable of voice interaction, visual perception, motion feedback, and other features.

Outputs generated by Pophie — including text, speech, motion, lighting, images, or other responses — are produced by algorithms in real time. Pophie does not possess consciousness, emotions, sentience, or legal personhood.

Certain features require an internet connection, cloud services, or third-party services. These features may be limited, delayed, or unavailable during network outages, cloud service interruptions, or third-party service changes. Details regarding connectivity requirements are provided on our product pages, user manual, and within the companion app.

2. Account and Activation

You must provide accurate and complete information when activating or registering the device. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

You may not use the Services for commercial resale, bulk automation, unauthorized API access, or any activity that disrupts the normal operation of the Services, unless expressly authorized by us in writing.

3. Use Guidelines and Safety

3.1 General Use

You must use Pophie in accordance with the product manual, safety instructions, and compatible power supply requirements. Do not intentionally drop, crush, submerge, disassemble, modify, or tamper with the device or bypass any safety mechanisms.

3.2 Physical Safety

Pophie may produce voice, light, screen, or mechanical motion feedback during interaction. Do not place fingers, hair, clothing, or other objects near moving parts. Keep the device away from high temperatures, liquids, fire, flammable materials, table edges, infants, and pets. Minors should use Pophie under adult supervision.

The device generates heat during operation and charging. Do not block ventilation or heat-dissipation areas. Do not operate the device while covered, wrapped, or enclosed, or in high-temperature, poorly ventilated, or confined environments. If you notice abnormal heat, odor, smoke, deformation, or unusual noise, stop using the device immediately and contact support.

3.3 Plush Cover and Accessories

If your Pophie includes a plush cover, fabric garment, or other wearable accessory, follow the care instructions provided with the product. Do not machine wash, soak, tumble dry, bleach, or expose the cover to prolonged direct sunlight unless the instructions expressly permit doing so. Improper removal, reattachment, washing, or alteration of the plush cover — or use of unauthorized third-party covers or accessories — may cause overheating, sensor obstruction, joint obstruction, or device damage, and may void warranty coverage.

3.4 Cameras and Microphones

Pophie is equipped with cameras, microphones, and other sensors. You are responsible for using these features in compliance with all applicable laws. Do not use Pophie to infringe on the privacy, image rights, or other legal rights of any third party, and do not use the device in private spaces without proper authorization.

3.5 Prohibited Conduct

You may not use the Services to:

  • Generate, distribute, or transmit any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
  • Infringe any intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party;
  • Attempt to elicit outputs that promote illegal activity, violence, discrimination, or exploitation;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or extract code or data from the Services, except as expressly permitted by applicable law;
  • Engage in any conduct that violates applicable law or these Terms.

4. AI-Generated Content

Outputs from Pophie are generated by artificial intelligence algorithms and may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, inconsistent, or different from what you expect. All outputs are provided for general informational and interactive purposes only.

Pophie's outputs do not constitute medical, psychological, legal, financial, educational, emergency, or any other professional advice and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any decision. If you need professional guidance, consult a qualified professional.

We implement content safety measures in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If you encounter any output that you believe is unlawful, harmful, infringing, or otherwise inappropriate, please report the output to us at support@pophie.com.

Ownership and rights in AI-generated outputs are determined by applicable law and the specific context of use. These Terms do not automatically assign all intellectual property in generated outputs to the Company.

6. Content Moderation, Restrictions, and Appeals

Your use of the Services may be subject to additional data protection rights under the laws of your jurisdiction. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, and protect your data, including how to exercise your rights regarding your personal information.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved amicably, either party may submit the dispute to the competent courts, except where mandatory local consumer protection law grants you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts. Nothing in this section deprives you of any mandatory consumer protection rights under the laws of your jurisdiction.
