Terms & Conditions
Last updated: June 14, 2026
Welcome to StudioSprite ("StudioSprite", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using our website, applications, APIs, generators, editors, animators, AI writing tools, community features, marketplace, or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you ("you" or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to every provision, do not access or use the Service. These Terms contain a binding arbitration clause, class-action waiver, limitation of liability, broad indemnification obligation, and an explicit statement that all sales are final. Read them carefully.
1. Eligibility & Account
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use the Service. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether authorized by you or not. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current. We may verify, refuse, suspend, or terminate any account at our sole discretion.
2. License to Use the Service
Subject to your continuing compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business purposes. This license terminates immediately if you breach these Terms, abuse the Service, or if we revoke your access for any reason permitted under these Terms. No other rights are granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
3. Right to Revoke Access
We reserve the absolute right, in our sole and unreviewable discretion, to suspend, restrict, throttle, disable, terminate, or permanently revoke your access to all or any part of the Service, including your account, credits, generated content, projects, library, gallery listings, community posts, and any data associated with your account, at any time, with or without notice, with or without cause, and without any obligation to issue a refund or credit. Reasons may include but are not limited to: suspected violation of these Terms; suspected fraud, chargeback abuse, or payment dispute; abuse of credits, top-ups, or promotional offers; uploading or generating content we believe infringes third-party rights or violates law; safety, legal, regulatory, or business reasons; or non-use of the account. You agree that StudioSprite is not liable to you or any third party for any revocation of access or for any loss of access, data, content, credits, earnings, or business opportunity resulting from such action.
4. All Sales Are Final — No Refunds
All purchases, subscriptions, credit top-ups, marketplace transactions, and other payments made through the Service are final and non-refundable. This includes, without limitation:
- Monthly and annual subscription fees (Pro, Studio, or any future tier);
- One-time image-credit top-up packs (any size);
- One-time AI text-credit top-up packs (any size);
- Purchases of community sprites, sprite packs, tilesets, or any other asset listed on the marketplace by another user;
- Add-ons, feature unlocks, and any other paid features or services.
By initiating a purchase you acknowledge and agree that: (a) credits and subscription entitlements are delivered immediately and consumed at your direction, (b) digital goods cannot be "returned," (c) you waive any statutory cooling-off, withdrawal, or refund right to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and (d) cancelling a subscription stops future renewals but does not refund the current billing period. Credits have no cash value, are not redeemable for money, and are not transferable. If your account is suspended, restricted, or terminated for any reason, you forfeit any unused credits, subscription time, and marketplace balance, and no refund will be issued. Chargebacks or payment disputes initiated in bad faith may result in immediate termination of your account and forfeiture of all credits, content, and earnings.
5. User Content & Generated Output
Your Inputs. You retain ownership of any prompts, reference images, sprites, uploads, project files, devlogs, comments, or other material you submit ("User Content"). You grant StudioSprite a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, cache, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works of, distribute, display, and process User Content as necessary to operate, secure, improve, train safety systems for, and promote the Service, and to comply with law.
Generated Output. Subject to your full payment of any applicable fees and your continuing compliance with these Terms, you own the AI-generated images, sprites, animations, text, and other outputs produced for you ("Output"), to the maximum extent permitted by law. You acknowledge that: (a) similar or substantially identical Output may be generated for other users; (b) Output may not be eligible for copyright or other intellectual-property protection in some jurisdictions; (c) we make no representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the legal status, novelty, originality, or non-infringement of any Output; and (d) ownership of Output reverts to StudioSprite if your account is terminated for breach.
Sole Responsibility. You are solely and exclusively responsible for your User Content, your Output, and any use you make of either, including ensuring that you have all rights required to upload reference material and that no use of your Output infringes any third-party right.
6. Copyright, Trademark & Protected Material — Zero Tolerance
You represent, warrant, and covenant that you will not use the Service to upload, prompt for, generate, list, sell, distribute, or otherwise process any content that incorporates, imitates, derives from, or could reasonably be confused with material protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress, right of publicity, moral right, or any other intellectual-property or proprietary right that you do not own or are not expressly licensed to use. This prohibition includes, without limitation, copyrighted characters, logos, brand assets, fictional universes, celebrity likenesses, voice/style appropriations, and any third-party "IP" you do not have written permission to use.
Enforcement. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have uploaded, generated, listed, or sold content that infringes or may infringe a third-party right — or that violates this Section — we may, without prior notice, warning, or any obligation of refund or compensation:
- Remove or disable access to the offending content (and any derivatives of it);
- Cancel, claw back, or reverse any sales of the offending content, even after delivery;
- Forfeit any earnings, marketplace balance, credits, or refunds otherwise owed in connection with the offending content;
- Suspend or permanently terminate your account and forfeit all credits, projects, and content associated with it;
- Cooperate with rights-holders and law enforcement, including disclosing your account information in response to a valid legal request or a good-faith infringement complaint.
No pre-screening. We do not and cannot pre-screen Output, uploads, or marketplace listings for similarity to existing works, and we make no representation that any Output or listed asset is clear of third-party rights. Verifying clearance is entirely your responsibility before you use, publish, list, or purchase any content.
Indemnity for infringing content. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StudioSprite from any claim, demand, loss, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or related to any allegation that your User Content, Output, or listed assets infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party's rights, regardless of whether the content was generated by AI, edited by you, or uploaded directly. This obligation survives termination of your account.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to, and not to permit anyone else to: (a) violate any law, regulation, or third-party right; (b) upload, generate, list, or distribute content that is infringing, defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit involving minors, that promotes violence or self-harm, that encourages illegal activity, or that exploits any person; (c) reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, scrape, mirror, frame, or attempt to derive the source code, models, weights, or training data of the Service; (d) circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, authentication, rate-limit, watermarking, or access-control feature; (e) use the Service to develop or train any competing AI image, text, or game-asset generation product; (f) submit prompts or content designed to deceive, defraud, harass, defame, dox, or impersonate any real person or organization without consent; (g) generate or distribute deepfakes, non-consensual intimate imagery, or election/political disinformation; (h) resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service except as expressly permitted by these Terms; (i) use bots, scripts, or automated tools other than those we provide; or (j) use the Service in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair StudioSprite, our infrastructure, our users, or any third party.
Violations may result in immediate revocation of access (see Section 3), forfeiture of credits and content, civil and criminal liability, and notification of law enforcement.
8. Credits, Subscriptions & Billing
Certain features require credits or a paid subscription. Pricing, credit allowances, and feature limits are described on our pricing page and are subject to change at any time at our discretion. Plan changes apply to your next renewal unless otherwise stated. You authorize StudioSprite and our third-party payment processors to charge your payment method for all fees, taxes, and applicable surcharges. Failed payments may result in immediate suspension of the Service. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price until cancelled by you through your account settings. Cancellation stops future renewals only; it does not refund the current billing period (see Section 4). You are responsible for all taxes and fees imposed by your jurisdiction unless otherwise stated.
9. Community Features & Marketplace
StudioSprite provides community features including devlogs, comments, tool-request voting, collaboration boards, weekly challenges, portfolio pages, a community gallery, and a marketplace where users may list sprites and other assets for sale ("Community Features"). By posting, uploading, listing, or otherwise submitting content to the Community Features ("Community Content"), you grant StudioSprite and other users a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to view, display, share, index, and (for items distributed or sold through the marketplace) deliver, download, and use your Community Content within and through the Service.
Marketplace — final sale. All marketplace purchases are final and non-refundable. Once a community sprite, pack, or asset has been delivered to the buyer's library, no refund, credit reversal, or chargeback right is available, except where required by mandatory non-waivable law. Listings are between users; StudioSprite acts only as a platform facilitating the transaction.
Seller responsibilities. If you list assets for sale, you represent and warrant that (i) you own all rights necessary to sell, license, and distribute the asset, (ii) the asset does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third-party right, (iii) the asset is not generated from, derived from, or substantially similar to copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise protected material you do not own, (iv) the listing accurately describes what is being sold, and (v) you will comply with all applicable laws including tax laws.
Buyer responsibilities. Buyers acknowledge that (i) StudioSprite does not verify the originality, quality, fitness for purpose, or rights clearance of listed assets, (ii) AI-generated assets may resemble other works, (iii) buyers purchase at their own risk, and (iv) all sales are final and credits used to purchase are non-refundable.
Removal for infringement. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that an asset listed or sold on the marketplace infringes third-party rights, was generated from protected material, or otherwise violates these Terms, we may immediately remove the listing, recall the asset from buyers, suspend or terminate the seller's account, and forfeit any unpaid earnings — all without prior notice, refund, or compensation. Sellers who upload or list copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise infringing content are subject to immediate and permanent removal from the Service with no refund of subscription, credits, or earnings.
Earnings & payouts. Marketplace earnings are paid as in-Service credits unless we expressly enable a cash-out option in writing. Earnings credits are subject to the same forfeiture and revocation rules as purchased credits (see Sections 3 and 4).
Collaboration board. Listings on the collaboration board may describe paid or unpaid opportunities between users (e.g., hiring a composer). StudioSprite is not a party to those arrangements, does not process payment for them, and is not responsible for performance, payment, IP transfer, or any dispute between users.
Moderation. We may, in our sole discretion and without notice, remove, edit, refuse, hide, demote, or feature any Community Content; close or merge listings; suspend or terminate the accounts of users who violate these Terms; and take any other action we deem appropriate to protect the Service, our users, or third parties. Moderation decisions are final.
10. AI Output & No-Reliance Disclaimer
The Service uses generative AI models that produce probabilistic Output. Output may be inaccurate, offensive, biased, factually wrong, stylistically inconsistent, or substantially similar to existing works. You acknowledge that Output is provided for creative and entertainment purposes and must not be relied on as legal, medical, financial, safety, or professional advice. You assume all risk arising from any decision or action taken in reliance on Output.
11. Third-Party Services & Bring-Your-Own-Key
The Service integrates with third-party services (e.g., authentication, payment processing, storage, AI model providers). Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. If you supply your own API keys for third-party model providers, you are solely responsible for all charges incurred and for compliance with those providers' terms. We are not liable for any third-party act, omission, outage, billing error, content policy, or change in service.
12. Intellectual Property in the Service
The Service — including all software, models, branding, designs, text, layouts, UI, documentation, and trademarks (other than User Content and Output) — is owned by StudioSprite or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws worldwide. No rights are granted to you except as expressly set out in these Terms. "StudioSprite," our logos, and the trade dress of the Service are our trademarks.
13. DMCA & Copyright Complaints
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice meeting the requirements of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512) to legal@studiosprite.app. We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers, and cooperate with rights-holders' lawful requests. Submitting false or bad-faith infringement notices is itself a violation of these Terms and may result in account termination and legal action.
14. Termination & Effect of Termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account and your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, and without any liability or refund obligation (see Sections 3 and 4). You may stop using the Service at any time and cancel your subscription through your account settings. Upon termination: (a) your right to use the Service ends immediately; (b) you forfeit all unused credits, subscription time, marketplace earnings, and access to your generated content and uploads; (c) we may delete or retain your data as permitted by our Privacy Policy and applicable law; and (d) all provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive — including ownership of Service IP, payment obligations, indemnification, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law, dispute resolution, and class-action waiver — will survive.
15. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE, ALL OUTPUT, ALL COMMUNITY CONTENT, AND ALL MARKETPLACE ASSETS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (B) DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; (C) OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, ORIGINAL, NON-INFRINGING, OR FREE OF OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT; (D) COMMUNITY CONTENT OR MARKETPLACE ASSETS ARE RIGHTS-CLEARED OR FIT FOR ANY USE; OR (E) ANY DATA, GENERATED CONTENT, OR ACCOUNT BALANCE WILL BE PRESERVED. YOU USE THE SERVICE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
16. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STUDIOSPRITE AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, DATA, CONTENT, CREDITS, EARNINGS, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICE, ANY OUTPUT, ANY COMMUNITY CONTENT, ANY MARKETPLACE TRANSACTION, ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, OR ANY REVOCATION OR TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCESS — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE — WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY — WILL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO STUDIOSPRITE IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50. Multiple claims do not enlarge this cap. You agree that these limitations are a fundamental basis of the bargain between you and StudioSprite and would not provide the Service to you without them.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
17. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StudioSprite and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, investigations, losses, damages, liabilities, settlements, judgments, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your User Content, Output, Community Content, or marketplace listings; (c) any allegation that your content infringes, misappropriates, or violates any third-party right (including copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or privacy right); (d) your violation of these Terms; (e) your violation of any law or third-party right; (f) your transactions with other users (including marketplace buyers or sellers and collaboration-board contacts); or (g) any chargeback or payment dispute you initiate. We may assume exclusive control of the defense of any claim subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate fully with us.
18. Assumption of Risk
You expressly acknowledge and assume all risks associated with: (a) the probabilistic and unpredictable nature of AI-generated content; (b) the possibility that Output may resemble or duplicate works owned by others; (c) the possibility that other users may upload, generate, or list infringing content; (d) the possibility that data, projects, credits, or marketplace earnings may be lost, corrupted, or revoked; and (e) the possibility that the Service may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. You waive any claim against StudioSprite arising from any of the foregoing to the maximum extent permitted by law.
19. Changes to the Service or Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part), change pricing, change credit costs, or update these Terms at any time. Material changes to these Terms will be notified via the Service or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to a change, your sole remedy is to stop using the Service.
20. Governing Law, Disputes, Arbitration & Class-Action Waiver
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute") will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Delaware, conducted in English. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class-action waiver. You and StudioSprite agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual-property rights or confidential information. Where mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction prohibits any of the foregoing, that prohibition controls only to the extent required.
Time limit. Any Dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or it is permanently barred.
21. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement. These Terms (together with our Privacy Policy and any plan- or feature-specific terms referenced here) are the entire agreement between you and StudioSprite regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be modified only to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with any merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint-venture, or employment relationship between you and StudioSprite.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authority, fire, floods, accidents, network or power outages, strikes, third-party provider failures, or pandemic.
Notices. We may give notice through the Service, by email to the address associated with your account, or by posting on our website.
Headings. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
