Effective 2 September 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and Previously. They are written to be read. The parts that limit our liability and set how disputes are resolved are in sections 10 to 12; please read those.
Previously is operated by Cameron Shaw Stallings, an individual based in North Carolina, USA ("Previously", "we"). By creating an account or using the app you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Previously.
You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has agreed to these terms on your behalf. Previously is offered in the United States. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details to yourself and for what happens under your account.
Previously lets a tabletop RPG group ("a table") capture moments during a session, by short voice recordings or typed notes, and turns them into a written and narrated recap for the next session. Recaps are generated automatically by software from what your table captured. They can be wrong, incomplete, or odd. The game master can edit them. Do not rely on a recap for anything that matters outside the game.
A voice clip at a table can capture other people. You may only record people who have agreed to be recorded. The app asks every member of a table for consent and shows who has agreed; that is a convenience, not a substitute for your judgement. Recording laws vary by state, and some states require every person in a conversation to consent. You are responsible for complying with the law where you are. Do not record people who are not members of the table, and do not record anyone who has declined.
You own what you make: your recordings, notes, characters and edits. You give Previously a licence to store, process, transcribe, summarise, narrate and display that content, to the members of your table, for the purpose of running the service. That licence ends when the content is deleted, except for copies kept in ordinary backups for a short time.
Content you add to a table is shared with that table. A recap belongs to the whole table; if you leave, the table keeps its chronicle.
You are responsible for what you capture. Do not upload anything you have no right to upload, anything unlawful, or anything that harasses or threatens another person. We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these terms, and we will tell you when we do unless the law prevents it.
Every table keeps its three most recent recaps for free. Previously Plus is an auto-renewing subscription that keeps a table's whole archive. It is bought by the game master and, while active, unlocks the archive for everyone at the tables that game master runs. Players do not need their own subscription.
Do not misuse Previously. That means: no attempts to access other tables' data, no probing or overloading our systems, no automated scraping, no reverse engineering except where the law allows it, no impersonation, and no use of the service to break the law or someone's rights.
The app, its design, its characters and heraldry system, its narrator voice, and the name Previously belong to us or our licensors. These terms do not give you any of that beyond using the app as intended. Trademarks of game publishers belong to their owners; Previously is not affiliated with any of them and is system-agnostic on purpose.
Previously is a small, growing app. Features may change, be added, or be removed. If we ever shut the service down, we will give reasonable notice and a way to export your recaps first.
You can stop using Previously at any time and can ask us to delete your account (see the Privacy Policy). We can suspend or end your account if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop offering the service, and we will tell you why where we can.
Previously is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that recaps will be accurate. Some states do not allow limits on implied warranties, so some of this may not apply to you.
To the fullest extent the law allows, Previously will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data or lost profits, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim relating to Previously is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or 100 US dollars. This limit does not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including for our fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct.
You agree to defend and indemnify Previously against claims arising from content you captured or uploaded, including claims by people you recorded, and from your breach of these terms, to the extent the claim is caused by you.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
Talk to us first. Email support@previouslyrpg.com with a description of the problem. Most things can be fixed that way. If we cannot resolve it within 60 days, the following applies.
Arbitration. Any dispute arising from these terms or the service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in Wake County, North Carolina, or by video, or in the county where you live. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court. The arbitrator decides everything, including whether a claim can be arbitrated, and can award the same relief a court could, to you individually.
No class actions. Claims are brought individually, not as part of any class or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest of this section still applies.
Opting out. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing support@previouslyrpg.com within 30 days of first accepting these terms, with your account email and a clear statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these terms.
These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and Previously about the service. If part of them is unenforceable, the rest stands. We may update these terms; if the change matters, we will tell you in the app and update the date at the top, and continuing to use Previously after that means you accept the new terms. You may not transfer this agreement; we may transfer it to a successor who takes over the service. Apple is not a party to these terms and is not responsible for the app or its content.
