Terms of Service

1. What LYRC is

LYRC is a creative studio for musicians. You can upload a section of a song, have the lyrics transcribed, place cuts on the beat, save it as a reusable template, and make lyric videos from it with your own footage, our stock library, clips imported from a link, or AI-generated video. LYRC also offers AI cover art, a public artist page, posting to supported connected social accounts, and connectors that let AI assistants work in your account.

We change the Service often. We may add, change, limit or remove features, models, footage, presets and plan limits. Some features are labeled beta, preview or early access, or are only open to some accounts; those are offered as-is and may change or end without notice.

2. Who can use LYRC

• You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms for you and is responsible for your use.
• You must be able to form a binding contract, and not be barred from using the Service under U.S. law or the law where you live.
• If you use LYRC for a band, label, company or other organization, you confirm you are allowed to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organization.
• You may not use LYRC if we have previously closed your account for breaking these Terms.

3. Your account

• Give us accurate information and keep your email address current. We send receipts, renewal notices and legal notices there.
• Keep your login, API keys and connected-account access secure. You are responsible for everything done with your account, including by anyone you share it with.
• Tell us right away at support@lyrc.studio if you think your account was accessed without your permission.
• One person per account. Don't sell, transfer or share accounts.

4. Plans, billing and automatic renewal

5. Credits and quotas

• Credits are a way to measure use of features like AI generation and clip extraction. They are a limited license to use the Service, not money or property. They have no cash value, can't be sold or transferred, and can't be exchanged for cash, except where the law requires.
• The credit cost of each feature is shown in the app before you use it and may change over time.
• Subscription credits are added each billing period. Unused subscription credits roll over up to a cap (your balance can reach at most twice your plan's per-period amount). While your subscription is inactive, cancelled past its paid period, paused or past due, subscription credits are locked; they unlock when your subscription is active again.
• Credits from one-time credit packs don't expire while your account is open.
• Promotional, bonus and referral credits may come with their own conditions, including expiry, and are never refundable.
• Export and transcription quotas reset at the start of each paid period and don't roll over.
• If a generation fails because of a problem on our side, the credits are returned automatically.
• All credits end when your account is closed, whether you close it or we close it for a breach of these Terms. If we close your account through no fault of yours, we refund unused purchased credits as our Refund Policy describes.

6. Your content

7. Photos of people and likeness

Some features turn a photo of a person into AI video or images (for example, saving a reference photo and generating b-roll "of you"). For these features:

• Only upload photos of yourself, or of someone who has given you clear permission to use their face and likeness this way. If that person is under 18, you need permission from their parent or guardian.
• Don't upload photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone else you don't have permission for, and don't use LYRC to make content that falsely shows a real person saying or doing something.
• We send the photo to our AI video and image providers to make the content you ask for. We don't use photos to identify people, and we don't create face templates or other biometric identifiers.
• You can delete a reference photo anytime in Settings → Profile, under References.
• We may remove photos or content, or limit these features, if we believe a likeness is being used without permission. Anyone can ask us to remove content showing them. See our likeness removal process.

8. Importing video from a link

LYRC can import video from a link you paste and cut it into clips. When you use this feature, you are directing LYRC to fetch that video for you, and you confirm that:

• you own the video or have permission from the owner to download it, edit it and use it in your videos; and
• doing so is allowed by the source site's terms and by law.

LYRC doesn't check whether you have these rights and doesn't give you any. Movies, TV, other artists' music videos and other content you don't own or license may not be imported. We may limit or turn off importing from any site.

9. AI-generated content

• Many features use third-party AI models. Results can be wrong, strange or similar to things other people generate. Review everything before you publish it.
• As between you and LYRC, you own the AI outputs you generate, to the extent the law allows anyone to own them. Purely AI-generated material may not be protected by copyright, and others may generate similar results.
• Outputs may accidentally resemble existing works, brands or real people. You are responsible for making sure your use doesn't infringe anyone's rights.
• Where the law requires it (for example, for realistic AI depictions of real people), disclose that content is AI-generated. Don't remove labels, watermarks or metadata that mark content as AI-generated.
• The AI providers' own usage rules also apply to what you generate. We may block prompts, inputs or outputs that break them.

10. LYRC's content and stock footage

The Service, our software, presets, templates, designs, the LYRC name and logo, and our stock footage library belong to LYRC or our licensors. While your account is in good standing, you may use our stock footage, presets, fonts and effects inside videos you make with LYRC, including commercially. You may not download, resell or redistribute them on their own, or use them to build a competing library or service.

11. Acceptable use

You agree to follow our Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these Terms. In short: no illegal content, no infringement, no non-consensual or sexual content involving real people, nothing involving minors in a sexual way, no harassment or fraud, no spam through connected accounts, and no attacking, scraping or reverse-engineering the Service.

12. Connected accounts and third-party services

• Instagram. When you connect Instagram, you authorize LYRC to act on that account in the ways you choose: publishing or scheduling posts, reading basic profile and post information, and sending private replies to comments when you set up comment replies. You must follow Instagram's terms and community guidelines. You can disconnect anytime in LYRC or in Instagram's settings.
• Spotify and Apple Music. Your artist page can show music information and players from Spotify and Apple Music. That content is provided by them and is subject to their terms. As to Spotify content: Spotify makes no warranties and has no liability to you; you may not modify, create derivative works of, or reverse-engineer Spotify content or the Spotify service; and Spotify is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them.
• Other services. Signing in with Google, paying with Stripe, embedded players and links to other sites are governed by those companies' terms. We aren't responsible for third-party services, and we may stop supporting any of them.

13. AI assistants and API access

You can connect your LYRC account to an AI assistant (such as Claude) through our connector or a Personal API Token you create in Settings. If you do:

• The assistant acts as you. Anything done through the connection counts as done by you, including spending credits and export quota, creating or deleting projects, and posting to connected accounts. Keep tokens secret and revoke them in Settings if one is exposed or you stop using it.
• Actions are real. An assistant can permanently delete projects, templates and footage and spend credits that aren't refundable once spent. Review what you ask it to do.
• For your own creative work. Don't resell or sublicense LYRC's functionality, use it to build a competing service, or work around credit costs, plan limits or spending caps.
• Reasonable volume. We may rate-limit, cap, suspend or withdraw access if use is excessive or causes problems.
• It may change. Tools, inputs and outputs can change or be removed at any time, including in ways that break your setup.
• Your assistant's provider. Data the assistant requests from LYRC goes to that assistant's provider and is handled under its terms and privacy policy, not ours.

14. Copyright complaints

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. See our Copyright, DMCA & Likeness Policy for how to send a notice or counter-notice. We close the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

15. Availability

We work to keep LYRC running, but we don't promise it will always be available, error-free or fast, or that any feature, model, preset or footage will stay available. We may suspend the Service for maintenance or to protect it. We keep rendered exports available to download for a limited time (currently 48 hours), so download what you want to keep.

16. Disclaimers

17. Limitation of liability

Some places don't allow these limits, so some may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

18. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify LYRC and its owners, employees and contractors against claims, damages, losses and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) from third parties arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, your connected accounts, or your breach of these Terms or anyone's rights. We'll tell you about any such claim and may take part in the defense with our own lawyers.

19. Suspension and termination

• You can stop using LYRC and delete your account at any time in Settings → Profile. Deleting your account cancels your subscription; see the Refund Policy for what that means for charges already made.
• We may suspend or close your account, or remove content, if we reasonably believe you broke these Terms or the law, created risk or legal exposure for LYRC or others, or if a dispute was decided against us (Section 4.7). Where reasonable, we'll tell you why.
• When an account is closed, access to it and its content ends, and we delete data as described in our Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 5, 6.2 for content already published, 9, 16–21) continue to apply.

20. Disputes and arbitration

21. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any claim not subject to arbitration will be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Knox County, Tennessee, and you and LYRC agree to their jurisdiction. If you live in the European Union or United Kingdom, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country and may bring claims in its courts.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes, we'll let you know at least 14 days before they take effect, by email or in the app, and update the date at the top. Changes don't apply to disputes that arose before they took effect. If you keep using LYRC after changes take effect, you accept them; if you don't, stop using LYRC and cancel your plan.

23. General

• Whole agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Copyright Policy, Cookie Policy and any terms shown for a specific feature or program, are the whole agreement between you and LYRC about the Service.
• Electronic notices. You agree we can send notices, receipts and disclosures electronically, by email or in the app.
• Assignment. You can't transfer these Terms without our consent. We may transfer them, for example in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
• Severability and waiver. If part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term isn't a waiver.
• Things outside our control. We aren't liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages at our providers.
• Export and sanctions. You may not use LYRC if you are in, or acting for someone in, a country or on a list subject to U.S. sanctions, or in violation of export laws.
• No third-party rights. Except for Spotify as stated in Section 12, no one else has rights under these Terms.
