Terms of 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 is a production tool, not a publishing service: it does not post to social platforms on your behalf. You export what you make and publish it yourself.

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.

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 exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise.

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; 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, which you lose for the portion of the service already performed once generation begins at your request.

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.

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.

You may not use the Service to:

• infringe copyright, trademarks, or any other rights
• impersonate a real person or imply a false endorsement
• 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.

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.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, our total liability arising from the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the amount you paid us in that period.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profits or goodwill, or for any consequence of publishing generated output — reviewing output before you publish it is your responsibility.

You may close your account at any time 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.

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.

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.
