Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of OliveTTS ("Service"), a text-to-speech service operated by OliveTTS ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms apply to all users of the Service. Any additional rules, pricing details, usage limits, or guidelines published on the Service form part of these Terms. In the event of a conflict, the more specific terms will take precedence unless otherwise stated.
2. Account Registration
A Google account is required to register for and use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and must not share, transfer, or allow others to use it.
Each person may maintain only one account. If you are a minor, you must obtain consent from a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law.
We reserve the right to refuse registration if we reasonably believe that the information provided is inaccurate, these Terms may be violated, or other legitimate grounds exist.
3. Plans, Payments, and Credits
The Service offers both free and paid plans. Each plan includes a specified number of credits allocated monthly. Credit allowances, usage rates, expiration periods, and other applicable conditions are described on the Service.
Paid plans are available through monthly or annual subscriptions, with payments processed through Stripe. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through the designated cancellation process. Access to paid features after cancellation is subject to the conditions displayed on the Service. Payments are generally non-refundable, except where refunds are required by applicable law.
If audio generation fails or a technical issue occurs, we may, at our discretion, restore or adjust the affected credits. However, we do not guarantee credit refunds or adjustments in every case, except where required by law.
4. Generated Audio and Usage Rights
Audio generated through the Service ("Generated Audio") may be used for personal or commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. We do not claim exclusive ownership of Generated Audio, except where required by law or applicable third-party agreements. Any copyrights or other intellectual property rights in Generated Audio are determined by applicable law.
You may use Generated Audio in YouTube videos, social media content, games, advertisements, and other projects. The following conditions apply to commercial use:
- Free Plan: Commercial use is permitted with attribution to "OliveTTS."
- Paid Plans: Commercial use is permitted without attribution.
Usage rights are determined by the plan under which the audio was generated. Audio lawfully generated under a particular plan may continue to be used under that plan's terms even after you change your plan, cancel your subscription, or delete your account.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights to any text submitted to the Service and that your use of Generated Audio complies with applicable laws and does not infringe the rights of others.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, quality, suitability, or non-infringing nature of Generated Audio.
5. Data Storage and Processing
Text submitted to the Service and its corresponding Generated Audio are stored on our servers for the following periods:
- Free Plan: 72 hours from generation.
- Paid Plans: 30 days from generation.
Data is deleted after the applicable retention period, although certain information may remain temporarily in backups or be retained where required for technical or legal reasons.
You are responsible for downloading any Generated Audio you wish to keep before the retention period expires. We do not guarantee that stored content will remain accessible or recoverable in the event of technical failures or other disruptions.
We do not use your submitted text to train our own AI models. However, data necessary to provide the Service may be transmitted to and processed by third-party service providers.
6. Prohibited Activities
When using the Service, you agree not to:
- Violate any applicable laws or regulations.
- Use the Service for criminal activities, fraud, threats, harassment, discrimination, incitement to violence, or other harmful purposes.
- Generate illegal sexual content, content involving the sexual exploitation of minors, or other unlawful material.
- Use Generated Audio to impersonate others or intentionally deceive or mislead people.
- Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of third parties.
- Create multiple accounts, abuse free-tier allowances, manipulate credits, or circumvent usage restrictions.
- Access or operate the Service through bots, scripts, or other automated tools.
- Overload our servers, attempt unauthorized access, exploit vulnerabilities, or otherwise interfere with the Service.
- Infringe intellectual property rights relating to the Service, including its software and design.
- Engage in any other activity that we reasonably determine to be inappropriate or harmful to the Service.
7. Account Suspension and Termination
We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your account without prior notice if you violate these Terms or if your activities may compromise the security or normal operation of the Service.
You may delete your account at any time through the designated account deletion process. If you have an active paid subscription, deleting your account will automatically cancel that subscription.
Once your account is deleted, you will lose access to your stored data and any unused credits. Refunds associated with account deletion are subject to Section 3.
8. Service Availability and Changes
We may temporarily suspend or interrupt all or part of the Service without prior notice due to maintenance, technical failures, third-party service disruptions, natural disasters, or other circumstances beyond our control.
We also reserve the right to modify features, pricing, or other aspects of the Service, or to discontinue the Service in whole or in part.
For changes or discontinuations that materially affect users, we will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice through the Service or other appropriate means, except in emergencies or where advance notice is impracticable.
9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we make no warranties, express or implied, regarding its security, reliability, accuracy, completeness, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we limit our liability for damages arising from the use or unavailability of the Service, including service interruptions, technical failures, unsuccessful audio generation, data loss, and issues involving third-party services.
Where we are legally liable for damages, our liability is limited to direct and ordinary damages. Except in cases of willful misconduct, gross negligence, or other circumstances where such limitations are prohibited by law, our total liability will not exceed the amount you actually paid for the Service during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
10. Privacy
We collect and process personal information and other user data in accordance with our separately published Privacy Policy.
11. Changes to These Terms and Language Versions
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in applicable laws, the Service, or other reasonable operational needs. We will announce material changes and their effective dates through the Service or other appropriate means. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain your consent.
These Terms are available in both English and Japanese. For users residing in Japan, the Japanese version takes precedence over the English version. For users residing outside Japan, the English version takes precedence over the Japanese version.
If any discrepancies arise between the two versions, the version applicable to your place of residence will prevail, and the other version will be considered a reference translation.
12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, any disputes arising from or relating to the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Japanese court having jurisdiction over the operator's place of residence as the court of first instance.
Nothing in this section limits any mandatory rights or protections available to users under the laws of their country or region of residence.
