Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of MakeVox, operated by MakeVox (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the service you agree to these Terms. If you are using MakeVox on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

You retain all intellectual property rights in your creative work. This includes every story, character, outline, story-bible entry, and image you create or upload in MakeVox. We claim no ownership. You grant us only a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your content solely to provide the service to you. This license terminates when you delete your content or close your account.

We do not use your content to train AI models, sell your content, or share it with third parties for their own purposes. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

By using MakeVox you agree that you will not:

• Upload or generate content that infringes any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right of a third party.
• Use the service to create, distribute, or facilitate illegal content — including content that exploits or harms children, constitutes harassment or hate speech, or violates applicable law.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, overload, or interfere with the service or its underlying infrastructure.
• Share your account credentials or allow others to access the service through your account.
• Use the service to generate spam or to impersonate others.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

MakeVox and its underlying technology, design, and code (excluding your content) are owned by us and protected by intellectual property law. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our service or codebase without our written permission.

Your use of MakeVox is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

MakeVox integrates with third-party services including Clerk (authentication), Stripe (payments), and AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). Your use of those services is also governed by their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the service will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that AI-generated content will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose. AI output may contain errors, hallucinations, or content that requires human review. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying any AI-generated content before use.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, PROFITS, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100).

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MakeVox and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, or damages — including reasonable legal fees — arising out of your use of the service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, for non-payment, or if we discontinue the service, with reasonable notice where practicable. You may close your account at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases; we will delete your content in accordance with our data retention practices described in the Privacy Policy.

[GOVERNING LAW PLACEHOLDER — to be completed by legal counsel.] These Terms shall be governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction]. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration or in the courts of [Jurisdiction], except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you by email. Your continued use of MakeVox after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

MakeVox is not directed to children under 13. By using the service you represent that you are at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, if higher). If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and MakeVox regarding your use of the service and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
