Terms of Service

Last updated: 3 November 2026

1. The service

Artifex Studio (“the Service”) is a creative studio for musicians. It generates images, lyric videos, and social copy from music and artwork you supply, using third-party AI models. The Service is operated by Sascha Wagner, Steckfeldstraße 62, 70599 Stuttgart, Germany (sichatmusic@gmail.com).

The Service makes media and copy, and posts it to social accounts you connect (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube) only when you, or an AI agent you have allowed for that account, ask it to. You are responsible for what is posted from your accounts and for following each platform’s terms. You can also export everything and post it yourself.

2. Accounts

You need an account to use the Service. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for everything done under your account. You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country if higher.

Each account belongs to one workspace. You may not share a single seat between multiple people beyond the seat allowance of your plan.

3. Plans, credits, and payment

The Service is offered on a free tier and on paid monthly subscriptions. Paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe; we never see or store your card details. Prices are shown on the billing page and are final prices. No VAT is charged under the small-business rule (§ 19 UStG).

Generation is metered in credits. Your plan includes a monthly credit allowance that resets each billing period and does not carry over. Separately purchased credit top-ups do not expire and are consumed only after the monthly allowance is used up.

You can cancel at any time under Settings → Billing, or without logging in on the page Verträge hier kündigen; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and you keep access until then. We do not pro-rate partial months. Consumed credits are not refundable.

If you are a consumer in the EU you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal; see the withdrawal instructions and model form. Before each purchase Studio asks you to request expressly that we start at once and to confirm that you know you thereby lose the right of withdrawal; we confirm that declaration by email. Without it the right of withdrawal stays intact.

4. Your content

You keep all rights to the music, artwork, lyrics, and other material you upload (“Your Content”). You grant us only the licence needed to run the Service: to store Your Content, and to transmit it to the AI providers listed in the Privacy Policy so they can produce the output you asked for.

You confirm that you own or are licensed to use Your Content, including any samples, and that processing it does not infringe anyone's rights. Do not upload material you do not have the rights to.

5. Generated output

Output the Service generates for you is yours to use, including commercially, subject to these Terms and to the terms of the underlying AI providers.

Two honest caveats. First, AI models can produce output that resembles existing work, and the copyright status of AI-generated material is unsettled in many countries — we cannot warrant that output is free of third-party rights or that it is protectable. Second, free-tier exports carry a watermark; paid plans do not.

AI-generated content must be recognisable as such. Studio marks generated media where the platform allows (AI-content labels on TikTok, Facebook and YouTube posts). If you publish output that looks like a real person, place or event, you must label it as AI-generated (Art. 50(4) EU AI Act) and follow each platform's labelling rules.

6. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

  • infringe copyright, trademarks, or any other rights
  • impersonate a real person or imply a false endorsement
  • create realistic images, video or audio of a real, identifiable person without their consent (“deepfakes”), or present AI-generated material as a real recording, photo or event
  • create misleading content about real events, people, releases or endorsements, such as fake announcements, fake press or fake quotes
  • create sexual content involving minors, or non-consensual sexual imagery
  • create material that harasses, defames, or incites violence against anyone
  • circumvent credit metering, plan limits, or watermarking, or probe the Service for vulnerabilities without written permission
  • resell raw model access, or use the Service to train a competing model

We may suspend an account that breaches this section. Where the breach is not serious we will contact you first.

Reporting illegal content. Anyone can report content they believe is illegal or breaches this section through our contact form or by email to sichatmusic@gmail.com (this is also our single point of contact under Art. 11 and 12 of the EU Digital Services Act; we communicate in German and English). Please say where the content is and why it is illegal. We review reports promptly, may remove or restrict content or suspend accounts, and tell the affected user what we did and why, and how to object.

7. Availability

We aim for high availability but do not promise uninterrupted service. The Service depends on third-party AI providers; if one is degraded or changes its models, some features may be slower, different, or temporarily unavailable. We may change or retire individual models, and will keep the plan's overall capability broadly equivalent.

8. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under a guarantee we have given, and under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).

For slight negligence we are liable only where we breach an essential obligation — one whose fulfilment makes proper use of the Service possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely — and then only for the foreseeable damage typical of this kind of contract. Otherwise liability for slight negligence is excluded. These limits apply equally to our representatives and agents.

Reviewing generated output before you publish it is your responsibility; what you publish from your accounts is yours.

9. Termination

You may close your account at any time in Settings, or by emailing us. We remove Your Content per the retention schedule in the Privacy Policy. Export anything you want to keep first: deletion is not reversible.

10. Changes

We may update these Terms. For material changes we will give at least 30 days' notice by email or in the app. If you do not accept a change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by German law. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts.
