5A. Video Clipping and Remix Features

LYRC provides tools that allow you to upload video files, import video from external URLs, extract clips, and create remixed lyric videos using your footage ("Remix Features").

5A.1 Your Responsibility for Video Content

By uploading, importing via URL, or clipping video content through LYRC's Remix Features, you represent and warrant that:

• You own all rights to the video content, or you have obtained all necessary licenses, permissions, and clearances to use, edit, and distribute the content

• Your use of the video content complies with all applicable laws and regulations

5A.2 URL Import Feature

LYRC allows you to provide external URLs to import video content. When you use this feature:

• You are directing LYRC to retrieve the video content on your behalf and at your instruction. LYRC acts solely as your agent in performing this retrieval.
• You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to download, copy, and use the content located at the URL you provide
• You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the URL import feature complies with the terms of service, license agreements, and any other applicable terms of the source platform or website
• You acknowledge that many third-party platforms restrict or prohibit automated downloading of their content, and it is your responsibility — not LYRC's — to ensure your use is authorized
• LYRC does not verify, validate, or confirm that you have the right to download content from any URL you provide

By providing a URL, you confirm that you have reviewed and accepted the terms of the source platform and that your download is authorized under those terms.

6. Generated Content & Ownership

LYRC uses third-party AI models to generate:

• Lyric timing and transcriptions
• Visual effects and style images
• AI-generated video content
• Performance videos with AI characters
• Other related outputs

6.1 Ownership of Your Inputs

You retain full ownership of the content you upload to LYRC, including your audio files, lyrics, images, and video references ("Your Inputs").

6.2 Ownership of AI-Generated Outputs

AI-generated content is produced by third-party AI models that LYRC does not own or control. Regarding ownership of generated outputs:

• Output ownership follows the terms of the upstream AI providers (such as OpenAI, Google, and others)
• LYRC does not claim ownership of AI-generated outputs
• Copyright protection for purely AI-generated content is legally unclear under current U.S. law
• Users cannot claim exclusive copyright on content that is purely AI-generated without significant human creative contribution
• The legal status of AI-generated content ownership is evolving, and you should consult legal counsel if you have specific concerns

6.3 No Guarantees on Generated Content

Because AI systems are probabilistic and operated by third parties:

• We do not guarantee accuracy, correctness, or completeness
• We do not guarantee that generated content is free from errors, mismatches, or artifacts
• We do not guarantee that generated content is free of third-party rights issues
• AI outputs may inadvertently resemble copyrighted works, trademarks, or the likeness of real individuals

You are solely responsible for reviewing all generated content before use and for obtaining any necessary rights or clearances before commercial distribution.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use LYRC to:

• Violate any law or regulation
• Infringe copyright, trademark, or any other intellectual property
• Generate or distribute hate speech, harassment, or threats
• Promote violence, self-harm, or illegal activities
• Upload or generate sexually explicit or pornographic content
• Upload malicious code, attempt to hack, or disrupt our systems
• Impersonate any person or entity in a deceptive way

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts, remove content, or take other action if we believe you are violating this section.

8. Service Availability and Changes

LYRC is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

We do not guarantee that:

• LYRC will be error-free or uninterrupted
• Any particular feature will always be available

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of LYRC at any time. For users outside the United States, performance or availability may vary, and we do not guarantee consistent access from all countries.

9. Third-Party Services

LYRC uses third-party service providers to:

• Host infrastructure and storage
• Process payments
• Provide analytics, logging, and security
• Process or generate AI-related outputs
• Send emails and notifications

By using LYRC, you agree that your data and content may be processed by these providers solely to operate the service. We choose providers that follow industry-standard security practices.

We do not publicly list all providers or disclose detailed technical infrastructure in these Terms.

9.1 Third-Party AI Model Providers

LYRC uses third-party artificial intelligence models and services to power video generation, image generation, style transfer, transcription, and other AI features. You acknowledge and agree that:

• These AI models are developed, operated, and maintained by third parties outside LYRC's control

• LYRC is not liable for any claims arising from the outputs of third-party AI systems, including but not limited to intellectual property infringement, defamation, or privacy violations

We utilize the capabilities of third-party AI models as they are made available to us. Whether our specific use cases align with each provider's original intent is subject to interpretation, but we only use features that are not explicitly prohibited by their terms.

10. AI Content Disclosure & User Responsibility

Content generated through LYRC is AI-generated or AI-assisted. You agree to:

• Disclose the AI-generated nature of content when distributing or publishing it, as required by applicable laws
• Not attempt to pass off AI-generated content as real, authentic, or human-made when doing so would be deceptive
• Comply with all applicable disclosure laws, including California AI disclosure requirements and the EU AI Act
• Take full responsibility for how you use content generated on LYRC

LYRC is not responsible for how you choose to use, distribute, or represent AI-generated content. Any legal consequences arising from your use of generated content are solely your responsibility.

10.1 Performance Videos & AI Character Generations

LYRC's performance video feature allows generation of AI characters, including celebrity-style characters. You acknowledge that:

• AI character generations are intended for entertainment, parody, creative expression, or promotional purposes
• Such content should be obviously AI-generated and not used to simulate real people's likenesses in misleading contexts
• These capabilities come from third-party AI models that allow such generations
• LYRC does not endorse using AI-generated content to mislead, deceive, or harm anyone
• You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of AI character content is lawful in your jurisdiction

The legal landscape around AI-generated likenesses is evolving. If you have concerns about a specific use case, consult legal counsel.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• LYRC and its owners, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or reputation, arising from your use of LYRC.
• Our total liability for any claim related to LYRC will not exceed the total amount you paid us in the three (3) months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LYRC and its owners, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of:

• Your use of LYRC
• Your Content
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights or laws

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to LYRC at any time if we reasonably believe that:

• You violate these Terms
• You misuse the service
• You engage in fraud or illegal activity
• Continued access would create risk to us or others

You may stop using LYRC and close your account at any time.

Upon termination, your access to Your Content and generated content may be limited or removed, subject to our data retention practices and applicable laws.
