These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of [Website Domain], Seed Audio 1.0 voice generation features, credit purchases, subscription plans, account tools, and any related web or API services we provide (collectively, the “Service”).

The Service is operated by [Company Legal Name] (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, purchasing credits, starting a subscription, or generating audio, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

Seed Audio 1.0 is a voice generation and audio creation service that allows users to generate AI audio outputs from text prompts and related inputs.

The Service may include, depending on availability:

• Web-based audio generation
• Credit-based usage
• One-time credit packs
• Subscription plans
• Generation history
• Downloadable audio outputs
• API Access — Coming Soon
• Voice Library — Coming Soon
• Team features — Coming Soon

Features marked “Coming Soon” are not guaranteed to be available at any specific time. We may modify, delay, limit, or discontinue any planned feature.

2. Accounts

You may need to create an account to use certain parts of the Service. You agree to provide accurate information and keep your login credentials secure.

You are responsible for all activity under your account, including credit usage, generated content, API usage when available, and any activity by users who access your account.

You must notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to purchase credits or subscriptions.

If you use the Service on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

4. Credits and usage

The Service uses credits to measure audio generation.

Unless otherwise stated:

• 1 credit = 1 second of generated audio
• 60 credits = 1 minute of generated audio
• Credit cost is calculated based on generated output length
• You will be shown an estimated credit cost before generation where technically possible
• Credits are charged only for successful generations
• Failed generations may be automatically refunded in credits or not charged

We may offer different credit rates, multipliers, or pricing for advanced features in the future, such as higher-quality output, longer generation, voice cloning, reference audio, batch generation, API usage, or other premium workflows. If we do, we will disclose the applicable credit cost before use.

5. Free trial credits

New accounts may receive a one-time free trial credit allocation.

Unless otherwise stated:

• Free trial users receive 30 credits
• 30 credits are approximately equal to 30 seconds of generated audio
• Free trial credits are issued once per account
• Free trial credits have no cash value
• Free trial credits cannot be transferred, refunded, resold, or exchanged
• We may limit, revoke, or expire free trial credits to prevent abuse

We reserve the right to restrict free trial usage, including by account, device, email, payment method, IP address, region, or other anti-abuse signals.

6. Paid credit packs

Paid credit packs are one-time purchases of credits.

Unless otherwise stated:

• Paid credits never expire
• Paid credits may be used in the web app
• Paid credits may be used for API Access when API Access becomes available
• Paid credits are associated with your account
• Paid credits are not transferable unless we approve otherwise
• Paid credits have no cash value except where required by law

Paid credits are intended for usage of the Service and are not stored-value cards, bank deposits, or financial instruments.

7. Custom credit purchases

We may allow users to purchase a custom amount of credits. Custom credit purchases follow the same rules as paid credit packs unless otherwise stated at checkout.

We may set minimum or maximum purchase amounts, reject suspicious transactions, or require additional verification for large purchases.

8. Subscription plans

We may offer subscription plans for high-volume usage.

Unless otherwise stated, the Scale Subscription includes:

• 45,000 credits per month
• Approximately 750 minutes of generated audio per month
• Approximately 12.5 hours of generated audio per month
• Lower per-minute pricing compared with standard credit packs
• Higher concurrency
• API Access — Coming Soon
• Voice Library — Coming Soon

Subscription credits refresh every billing cycle. Unless expressly stated in your plan, subscription credits do not permanently roll over after the billing cycle ends.

Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method on a recurring basis.

You may cancel future renewals through your account settings or by contacting support. Cancellation stops future renewal charges but does not automatically refund charges already paid.

9. Pricing changes

We may change prices, credit allocations, subscription benefits, or credit consumption rules from time to time.

For one-time credit packs, changes will not reduce credits you have already purchased.

For subscriptions, material changes will apply at the next renewal or after notice, unless required sooner by law or necessary to prevent abuse, fraud, or technical harm.

10. Payments and taxes

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, such as Stripe or other providers we choose.

You agree to pay all charges shown at checkout, including applicable taxes, fees, and currency conversion charges. Taxes may vary based on your location and billing information.

We are not responsible for fees charged by your bank, card issuer, or payment provider.

11. Refunds

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy. The Refund Policy is part of these Terms.

If a generation fails due to a technical issue, we may refund the corresponding credits automatically or manually after review.

12. User inputs

You may submit prompts, text, scripts, reference materials, uploaded files, or other materials to the Service (“Inputs”).

You represent and warrant that:

• You have the rights needed to submit your Inputs
• Your Inputs do not violate laws or third-party rights

• Your Inputs do not instruct the Service to create unlawful, deceptive, harmful, or infringing content

You are responsible for your Inputs and for how you use outputs generated by the Service.

13. Voice, likeness, and consent

You may not use the Service to clone, imitate, synthesize, or misrepresent a person’s voice, likeness, identity, or persona without appropriate rights, authorization, or consent.

• Mislead listeners about the source, speaker, sponsor, or nature of generated audio
• Create fraudulent, defamatory, harassing, or abusive voice content
• Create or distribute unauthorized celebrity, public figure, or private individual voice imitations

If we launch a Voice Library in the future, your use of Voice Library assets will be subject to the rights, limitations, availability, and plan restrictions shown in the product or applicable policy.

16. Content review and enforcement

We may review, block, remove, or restrict Inputs, Outputs, accounts, or usage if we believe they violate these Terms, our policies, applicable law, or third-party rights.

We are not responsible for third-party services, outages, policies, data practices, or terms except where required by law.

The Service is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any third-party model provider, trademark owner, public figure, celebrity, or brand unless we expressly state otherwise.

18. Beta and coming soon features

Some features may be experimental, beta, waitlisted, or marked “Coming Soon.”

Beta or coming soon features may be changed, delayed, restricted, removed, or made available only to certain users. We do not guarantee availability, timing, performance, or compatibility of such features.

19. Service availability

We work to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation.

The Service may be unavailable due to maintenance, outages, vendor issues, model limitations, network failures, abuse prevention, or events outside our control.
