Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SonicStacker (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service. We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

SonicStacker uses artificial intelligence to generate music, lyrics, and audio (“Generated Content”). You acknowledge that:

• Generated Content is created algorithmically and is not the work of human artists, composers, or songwriters.
• The AI model is trained on general musical patterns and knowledge. It does not intentionally replicate, sample, or copy specific copyrighted works.
• Despite our best efforts, AI-generated outputs may coincidentally resemble existing compositions, melodies, or lyrics. Such resemblance is unintentional.
• We do not guarantee that Generated Content is free from resemblance to any existing work, nor that it is original or unique within the meaning of copyright law.
• You assume full responsibility for evaluating Generated Content before commercial use, public release, or distribution. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified attorney if you intend to register copyright or use Generated Content commercially.

3. Copyright and Intellectual Property

Our platform: SonicStacker and its underlying technology, branding, and software are owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or resell any part of the platform.

Generated Content: Subject to your compliance with these Terms and applicable law, you are granted a non-exclusive license to use the Generated Content you produce. We make no warranty that such content is copyrightable under applicable law, as AI-generated works may not qualify for copyright protection in certain jurisdictions.

Third-party rights: We do not replicate, sample, or knowingly incorporate copyrighted recordings, compositions, or lyrics into our AI outputs. However, because AI generation is probabilistic, outputs are not guaranteed to avoid all resemblance to existing works. You agree not to hold us liable for coincidental similarities.

4. User Content and License Grant

If you provide prompts, lyrics, descriptions, or other input (“User Input”) to the Service, you:

• Retain all rights you hold in your User Input.
• Grant SonicStacker a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process, store, and use your User Input solely to operate and improve the Service.
• Represent that you have all necessary rights to provide the User Input and that it does not infringe any third-party rights.

You also grant SonicStacker a non-exclusive license to host, serve, and deliver the Generated Content associated with your account for the purposes of operating the Service.

5. Prohibited Uses

SonicStacker is a family-friendly platform, and our catalog includes children's songs. You agree not to use the Service to generate, submit, or distribute content that is foul, profane, vulgar, sexually explicit, obscene, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate for a general audience that includes children. This applies to prompts, titles, lyrics, and any other input or output. We may block, filter, or remove such content at our discretion, and repeated violations may result in suspension or termination under Section 9.

You also agree not to use the Service to:

• Upload, submit, or incorporate copyrighted material (including song lyrics, recordings, or compositions) that you do not own or have explicit rights to use.
• Generate content that is hateful, discriminatory, harassing, threatening, defamatory, or that targets individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics.
• Generate content that sexualizes minors or depicts non-consensual acts.
• Attempt to reproduce, clone, or reverse-engineer the SonicStacker AI model or infrastructure.
• Misuse the Service in ways that violate applicable laws, including copyright law, privacy law, or consumer protection regulations.
• Use automated means, bots, or scrapers to access the Service at scale without our written consent.

6. Generated Music: No Guarantee of Uniqueness

We make best efforts to avoid generating outputs that infringe existing copyrighted works. However, we do not and cannot guarantee that any Generated Content is:

• Unique or original in a legal sense
• Free from similarities to existing commercially released music
• Suitable for copyright registration
• Cleared for all commercial uses without additional clearance

Use of Generated Content for commercial purposes is at your own risk and discretion. We recommend independent legal review before exploiting Generated Content commercially.

AI-generated content labeling: You are responsible for clearly disclosing that content created with SonicStacker is AI-generated when sharing, publishing, or distributing it, particularly in contexts where the distinction between human-created and AI-generated content may be material or where applicable laws or platform policies require such disclosure.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SonicStacker and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for:

• Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service.
• Any third-party claims arising from Generated Content, including copyright infringement claims.
• Loss of data, revenue, profits, or business opportunities.
• Service interruptions, errors, or failures.

Our total liability for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) $50 USD.

8. DMCA and Copyright Complaints
