Terms of Service

1. Who we are

CoverArtGenerator.ai is a service operated by CTRL MUSIC PLATFORMS LLC, with its principal place of business at 1 E Erie St, Suite 525-2860, Chicago, IL 60611 (the "Company", "we", "us", or "our"). When these terms refer to the "Service" they mean the CoverArtGenerator.ai website, application, and related features.

By creating an account, purchasing credits, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

The Service lets you generate album cover artwork using third-party generative AI models, including OpenAI's gpt-image-1. You provide a text prompt and, optionally, an uploaded reference photo. We send those inputs to the model provider, the model returns one or more images, and we display the result to you. We do not guarantee any specific creative output, level of resemblance, or commercial fit.

The Service is sold as credits. Each generation or download consumes a defined number of credits at the price published on the Pricing page. We may change credit costs and pack contents at any time, but changes apply only to purchases made after the change.

3. Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service and at least 18 to purchase credits. By creating an account you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorized to use the email and payment method on file.

You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. You agree to keep your sign-in credentials secure and to notify us at support@ctrlmusicgroup.com if you suspect unauthorized access. We use Clerk to handle authentication and never see or store your password.

4. Billing and payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. When you buy a credit pack, you authorize Stripe to charge your payment method for the listed amount in US dollars. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.

• All purchases are one-time. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no recurring charge.
• Credits are added to your account after Stripe confirms the payment.
• Credits do not expire and have no cash value. They are not transferable between accounts.
• You are responsible for any taxes that apply in your jurisdiction.

See the Refund Policy for our position on refunds and chargebacks.

5. Ownership of generated images

To the extent we hold any rights in an image generated for you using paid credits, we assign those rights to you and grant you a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that image for any lawful purpose, including commercial release on streaming platforms, physical media, and merchandise.

You are solely responsible for the prompts you submit and for confirming that your use of any generated image is lawful in your jurisdiction. AI-generated images may not be eligible for copyright registration in some countries; we make no representation about the registrability of any specific output.

Free, watermarked previews are licensed for evaluation only and may not be used in released or distributed work.

6. Your prompts and uploaded material

You retain ownership of the text prompts, lyrics, and reference images you submit ("Inputs"). You grant us a limited license to process Inputs for the sole purpose of providing the Service to you, which includes transmitting them to the AI model provider that generates your image.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit each Input and that the Input does not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or privacy. You are responsible for not uploading photos of other people without their permission.

See the Privacy Policy for details on how uploaded photos are processed and retained.

7. Acceptable use

Use of the Service is governed by our Acceptable Use Policy. Violations may result in removal of content, suspension of your account, or termination without refund.

8. Third-party services

The Service depends on third parties, including OpenAI (image generation), Stripe (payments), Clerk (authentication), and our infrastructure providers. Their terms and outages may affect availability. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third parties beyond what is required by law.

9. Our intellectual property

The Service itself, including the website design, code, logos, and the CoverArtGenerator name, is owned by CTRL MUSIC PLATFORMS LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of the Service to you. You may not copy, modify, or reverse-engineer the Service.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of generated images, or uninterrupted availability. You use the Service at your own risk.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CTRL MUSIC PLATFORMS LLC and its officers, members, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or revenue, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of fifty US dollars (USD 50) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CTRL MUSIC PLATFORMS LLC from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your Inputs, your use of generated images, or your violation of these Terms.

13. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy, or if required by law. Upon termination, unused credits are forfeited unless we agree otherwise in writing. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (ownership, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, governing law) will survive.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be posted here, and continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
