4.2 Right to Modify
We may enhance, modify, update, or discontinue features of the Platform from time to time. We will not make changes that materially reduce the core functionality of a paid plan during a paid subscription period without providing notice and, where the reduction is material and you object in writing within 30 days, a pro-rata refund of prepaid unused Fees for the affected period.
We may discontinue the Services in their entirety on not less than 90 days' written notice, in which case we will refund prepaid unused Fees.
4.3 Beta, Preview, and Experimental Features
We may make features available on a beta, alpha, preview, early access, or experimental basis ("Beta Features"). Beta Features are provided "AS IS," without warranty of any kind, may be modified or withdrawn at any time without notice, are excluded from any service level commitment, and may contain defects. Any use of Beta Features is entirely at your own risk. Beta Features may be subject to additional terms notified at the time of enrolment.
4.4 Free Tier
Free Tier access is provided without charge, without warranty, without service level commitment, and may be suspended, limited, or terminated at any time for any reason. Storage and generation limits applicable to the Free Tier are published on our website and may change. Data associated with inactive Free Tier accounts may be deleted after 30 days of inactivity following notice.
4.5 Service Levels and Support
Availability commitments, support response targets, and service credits (if any) applicable to your plan are set out in any Service Level Agreement or Support Policy separately agreed with you in writing. Unless expressly stated, no service level commitment applies to Free Tier, Beta Features, or trial access.
4.6 Third-Party Services

We do not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for Third-Party Services, and we are not liable for their availability, performance, security, data practices, or discontinuation. Disabling a Third-Party Service may impair Platform functionality.
5. Licence Grant
5.1 Grant to You
Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable Fees, StudioLot grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence during your subscription period to access and use the Platform and Documentation solely for your internal business and production purposes.
5.2 Reservation of Rights
All rights not expressly granted are reserved by StudioLot and its licensors. No ownership interest in the Platform is transferred to you under these Terms.
5.3 Licence to Documentation
You may reproduce a reasonable number of copies of the Documentation solely for internal use in connection with the Services.
6. Fees, Billing, and Taxes
6.1 Fees
Fees are set out on our pricing page at https://studiolot.ai, in the checkout flow, or in your Order Form. Unless otherwise stated, Fees are quoted in Indian Rupees (INR) or United States Dollars (USD), as indicated at the point of purchase.
6.2 Billing and Renewal
StudioLot offers the following purchase models:
(a) Monthly subscriptions — billed in advance each month and automatically renewing for successive monthly periods unless cancelled before the end of the then-current period.
(b) Annual subscriptions — billed in advance each year and automatically renewing for successive annual periods unless cancelled before the end of the then-current period.
(c) One-time limited-duration licences — a single upfront payment granting access to the Platform for a fixed period specified at purchase (for example, for the duration of a single production). One-time licences do not automatically renew and expire at the end of the stated period. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the rights granted in Section 5 apply for the duration of the licence period only, and Sections 20.2 and 20.3 (export and deletion) apply from the expiry date. Outputs generated during the licence period remain yours in accordance with Section 9 after expiry.
By purchasing a subscription, you authorise us and our payment processor to charge your designated payment method on each renewal date. Automatic renewal does not apply to one-time limited-duration licences.
6.3 Usage-Based Charges and Overages
Certain AI Services are metered by AI Credits, generations, render minutes, storage, or API calls. Consumption in excess of your plan allowance may incur overage charges at the rates published at https://studiolot.ai or in your Order Form. You are responsible for monitoring consumption. We may, but are not obliged to, provide usage alerts or hard caps.
6.4 Price Changes
We may change Fees on not less than 30 days' notice before the start of your next renewal period. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Price changes will not apply retroactively within a paid period.
6.5 Taxes
Fees are exclusive of all taxes, including GST, VAT, sales tax, withholding tax, and equalisation levy. You are responsible for all such taxes other than taxes on StudioLot's net income. Where withholding is required by law, you shall gross up the payment so that StudioLot receives the full amount invoiced, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
6.6 Late Payment
Undisputed amounts not paid when due may accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, and we may suspend the Services after 30 days' notice of non-payment.
6.7 Disputed Invoices
You must notify us in writing of any good-faith dispute within 15 days of the invoice date, providing reasonable detail. Undisputed portions remain payable.
6.8 Refunds and Cancellation
Except as expressly stated in these Terms or required by applicable consumer protection law, all Fees are non-refundable and payment obligations are non-cancellable. Cancelling a subscription stops future renewals; it does not entitle you to a refund of the current period. Consumed AI Credits are non-refundable and non-transferable. Unused AI Credits expire at the end of the period in which they were issued unless otherwise stated.
6.9 Payment Processing
Payments are processed by third-party payment processors (such as Stripe). We do not store full payment card details. Your use of payment services is subject to the processor's terms and privacy policy.
7. Your Responsibilities
You agree that you are solely responsible for: (a) obtaining and maintaining all rights, licences, consents, clearances, releases, and permissions necessary for Customer Content, including screenplay rights, music rights, talent releases, location releases, likeness rights, and rights in any third-party material you upload; (b) the accuracy, quality, legality, and appropriateness of Customer Content; (c) reviewing, verifying, and validating all Outputs before use, publication, distribution, or reliance; (d) determining whether Outputs are suitable, lawful, non-infringing, and appropriate for your intended purpose; (e) complying with all applicable laws, including copyright, privacy, data protection, labour, censorship and certification, advertising, and film regulation requirements in every jurisdiction in which you operate or distribute; (f) complying with the requirements of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), applicable state film regulations, and any applicable industry body or guild requirements; (g) maintaining your own backups of Customer Content and Outputs; (h) providing and maintaining the network connectivity, hardware, and software required to access the Services; (i) configuring your Workspace, permissions, and sharing settings appropriately; and (j) all use of your Account, including by Authorised Users.
8. Customer Content
8.1 Ownership
As between you and StudioLot, you retain all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Content, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Customer Content to StudioLot.
8.2 Limited Licence to Us
You grant StudioLot a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit, display, reformat, process, and create derivative works of Customer Content solely to the extent necessary to: (a) provide, maintain, and support the Services to you; (b) generate Outputs at your direction; (c) route requests to Third-Party Models where required to fulfil your requests; (d) perform backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity functions; (e) detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents, fraud, abuse, and violations of these Terms; and (f) comply with applicable law.
This licence terminates when Customer Content is deleted, subject to retention in routine backups for the period described in Section 20 and any retention required by law.
8.3 No Model Training Without Consent
StudioLot does not use Customer Content, prompts, or Outputs to train, fine-tune, retrain, or improve StudioLot's proprietary foundation models or any generalised AI model, and does not permit Third-Party Model providers to do so for their own model training, except where: (a) you provide prior express written consent; or (b) you affirmatively opt in to a feature that is clearly described as involving training on your content (such as a customer-specific style model, character-consistency model, or custom LoRA trained exclusively for your Workspace).
Where you opt in to a customer-specific model, that model and its weights are used solely within your Workspace unless you agree otherwise in writing.
We may continue to use aggregated, anonymised Usage Data for service operation, analytics, capacity planning, security, and product improvement, provided such data cannot reasonably identify you or be used to reconstruct Customer Content.
8.4 Your Warranties Regarding Customer Content
You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have obtained all necessary rights, licences, and permissions in Customer Content; (b) Customer Content does not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, moral rights, or other rights of any third party; (c) Customer Content does not violate any applicable law or regulation; (d) you have obtained all necessary consents from any individual whose personal data, image, voice, or likeness appears in Customer Content; and (e) Customer Content does not contain Sensitive Data unless expressly permitted under an enterprise arrangement with us.
8.5 Prohibition on Sensitive Data
Unless expressly agreed in writing under an enterprise Order Form and supported by an appropriate Data Processing Addendum, you must not upload Sensitive Data to the Platform. We have no liability arising from Sensitive Data submitted in breach of this Section.
8.6 Content Removal
We may remove, disable access to, or quarantine Customer Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, infringes third-party rights, or exposes StudioLot or any user to legal liability. Where practicable and lawful, we will notify you.
9. AI-Generated Outputs and Ownership
9.1 Assignment of Outputs
Subject to your payment of applicable Fees and compliance with these Terms, StudioLot assigns to you all right, title, and interest that StudioLot may possess in Outputs generated exclusively for you through the Platform.
9.2 What Is Not Assigned
The assignment in Section 9.1 does not extend to, and StudioLot retains all rights in:
- the Platform and all software, source code, and object code;
- AI models, model weights, adapters, and fine-tunes owned or licensed by StudioLot;
- algorithms, architectures, and orchestration logic;
- rendering engines and pipelines;
- prompt optimisation, prompt engineering, and prompt templating technologies;
- system prompts, guardrails, and safety layers;
- templates, presets, stock assets, and sample content provided by StudioLot;
- workflows, schemas, and data structures;
- Documentation; and
- any underlying Intellectual Property Rights.
Where an Output incorporates a StudioLot template, preset, stock asset, or third-party licensed asset, you receive a licence to use that component as part of the Output on the terms applicable to that component, not ownership of it.
9.3 Limits on What We Can Assign
You acknowledge that: (a) the legal status of copyright in AI-generated material is unsettled and varies by jurisdiction; (b) in some jurisdictions, works generated without sufficient human authorship may not attract copyright protection at all; (c) StudioLot assigns only such rights as it may actually possess, and makes no representation that Outputs are protectable, registrable, or enforceable as your intellectual property; and (d) you should obtain your own legal advice regarding the protectability and chain of title of Outputs used in commercial productions.
9.4 Non-Uniqueness of Outputs
Because generative AI systems are probabilistic and other users may submit similar prompts, Outputs are not unique. Other users may independently generate Outputs that are similar, substantially similar, identical in style, or identical in composition to yours. This does not constitute a breach by StudioLot or infringement of your rights, and StudioLot makes no representation or warranty that any Output is or will remain unique.
9.5 Commercial Use
Unless otherwise restricted in your plan, Order Form, or by third-party licensing obligations notified to you, you may commercially exploit Outputs. You remain solely responsible for determining whether any Output:
- infringes third-party rights;
- requires attribution or credit;
- requires additional clearance, licensing, or guild/union compliance;
- requires disclosure of AI involvement under applicable law, broadcaster policy, festival rules, or platform policy; and
- complies with applicable law and certification requirements.
9.6 AI Disclosure Obligations
You acknowledge that a growing number of jurisdictions, broadcasters, streaming platforms, festivals, advertising regulators, and industry bodies require disclosure or labelling of AI-generated or AI-assisted content. You are solely responsible for making any such disclosures. We may, but are not obliged to, embed provenance metadata (such as C2PA content credentials) in Outputs.
10. StudioLot Intellectual Property and Feedback
10.1 Our IP
The Platform, including all software, models, algorithms, user interfaces, designs, architecture, workflows, Documentation, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, is and remains the exclusive property of StudioLot and its licensors. The StudioLot name, logo, and product names are trademarks of StudioLot. You may not use them without our prior written consent, except as required to accurately describe your use of the Services.
10.2 Feedback
If you provide suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, recommendations, bug reports, or other feedback regarding the Services ("Feedback"), you grant StudioLot a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable licence to use, reproduce, modify, and exploit such Feedback for any purpose without obligation, attribution, or compensation to you. Feedback is provided voluntarily and is not your Confidential Information.
10.3 Usage Data
StudioLot owns all Usage Data and may use it for operating, securing, analysing, benchmarking, and improving the Services and for producing aggregate industry insights, provided that Usage Data is not published or disclosed in a form that identifies you or any individual.

13.3 AI-Specific Disclaimer — Hallucination, Inaccuracy, and Probabilistic Behaviour
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEMS ARE PROBABILISTIC, NON-DETERMINISTIC, AND INHERENTLY FALLIBLE.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge that:
(a) Hallucination. AI Services can and do "hallucinate" — that is, they may generate content that is factually incorrect, internally inconsistent, fabricated, or entirely invented, while presenting it in a confident, plausible, and authoritative manner. This includes fabricated scene numbers, invented characters or props, incorrect page counts, non-existent locations, fictitious legal or regulatory references, invented citations, and inaccurate scheduling or continuity information.
(b) Inaccuracy in script breakdown and scheduling. Automated script breakdown, element extraction, character identification, day/night and interior/exterior classification, page-count estimation, and shooting schedule generation are estimates produced by statistical models. They may omit elements, misclassify elements, duplicate elements, misattribute dialogue, misread formatting, or produce schedules that are operationally infeasible. Outputs must be reviewed by a qualified human — such as a first assistant director, line producer, or production manager — before being used to commit budget, book cast or crew, schedule locations, or make any production decision.
(c) Visual outputs. Storyboards, animatics, location visualisations, and other generated imagery are conceptual and illustrative only. They may contain anatomical errors, inconsistent characters, inconsistent continuity between frames, physically impossible geometry, illegible or nonsensical text, incorrect scale or perspective, and unintended resemblance to real persons, places, products, brands, or existing copyrighted works.
(d) Non-determinism. Identical inputs may produce different Outputs on different occasions. Outputs are not reproducible and cannot be guaranteed to be regenerated identically.
(e) Bias. AI models are trained on data that reflects historical and societal biases. Outputs may reflect or amplify stereotypes relating to gender, race, caste, ethnicity, religion, body type, age, disability, region, language, or other characteristics. StudioLot applies reasonable technical and organisational measures to mitigate this, but cannot eliminate it. You must independently assess Outputs for fairness, representation, and cultural appropriateness.
(f) Third-party model behaviour. Outputs may be produced by Third-Party Models whose behaviour, availability, content policies, and training data are outside StudioLot's control and may change without notice.
(g) Training data provenance. StudioLot does not control and cannot verify the composition of the training data underlying Third-Party Models. Outputs may unintentionally resemble existing copyrighted works.
ACCORDINGLY, STUDIOLOT MAKES NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, OR CONDITION THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE: accurate; complete; current; reliable; consistent; reproducible; original; unique; free of hallucination or fabrication; free from bias; free from third-party rights; non-infringing; legally compliant; suitable for certification, broadcast, or distribution; production-ready; or fit for any particular purpose.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR INDEPENDENTLY REVIEWING, VERIFYING, FACT-CHECKING, AND VALIDATING ALL OUTPUTS BEFORE RELYING ON THEM, PUBLISHING THEM, DISTRIBUTING THEM, OR USING THEM TO MAKE ANY DECISION OF ANY KIND. MEANINGFUL HUMAN REVIEW IS REQUIRED.
The Outputs do not constitute legal, financial, accounting, tax, insurance, safety, medical, or professional advice of any kind.
13.4 Availability Disclaimer
Scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, failures or degradation of third-party cloud providers or Third-Party Models, internet or network outages, force majeure events, your infrastructure or connectivity issues, and suspension permitted under these Terms do not constitute a breach of warranty or of any service level commitment.

14. Indemnification
14.1 StudioLot's IP Indemnity
StudioLot will defend you against any third-party claim alleging that the Platform, excluding Customer Content, Outputs, and Customer modifications, directly infringes that third party's copyright, patent, trademark, or trade secret, and will pay court-awarded damages, settlements approved by StudioLot, and reasonable legal fees finally awarded.
14.2 Exclusions from StudioLot's Indemnity

Sections 14.1 to 14.3 state StudioLot's entire liability and your sole and exclusive remedy for any claim of intellectual property infringement.

15. Limitation of Liability

You accept full responsibility for reviewing and validating Outputs in accordance with Section 13.3.
15.5 Essential Basis of the Bargain

17. Confidentiality
17.1 Definition
"Confidential Information" means non-public information disclosed by one party to the other that is designated as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given its nature and the circumstances of disclosure. StudioLot's Confidential Information includes the Platform, its architecture, models, pricing, security documentation, and roadmap. Your Confidential Information includes Customer Content, scripts, production plans, schedules, budgets, and casting information.
17.2 Exclusions

17.4 Compelled Disclosure

18. Privacy and Data Protection
Our collection and processing of personal data is described in the StudioLot Privacy Policy at https://studiolot.ai/privacy, which forms part of these Terms.
Where StudioLot processes personal data on your behalf as a processor, a Data Processing Addendum executed between the parties applies and is incorporated by reference. Where required, the DPA includes the applicable transfer mechanisms (including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum).
You are responsible for ensuring that you have a lawful basis for any personal data you submit to the Platform and for providing all required notices to and obtaining all required consents from data subjects.

19.1 Term
These Terms commence when you first access the Services and continue until terminated in accordance with this Section.

We may terminate these Terms or any subscription: (a) for material breach not cured within 30 days of written notice; (b) immediately and without notice for violation of Section 11.2(b) (child safety), or for any violation that in our reasonable judgement creates a risk of serious legal liability, harm to any person, or harm to the Platform or other customers; (c) for non-payment after 30 days' notice; (d) on 30 days' notice if you are on a Free Tier or month-to-month plan; (e) immediately if you become insolvent, enter liquidation or administration, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (f) if required to comply with law or a regulatory or court order.

We will restore access promptly once the cause is resolved. Suspension under (a), (b), (c), or (e) does not relieve you of the obligation to pay Fees for the suspension period.

23. General Provisions
23.1 Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days' notice by email to your registered address or by prominent notice within the Platform. Changes take effect on the stated effective date. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.

23.5 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with all incorporated policies and any applicable Order Form, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous proposals, understandings, and communications, whether oral or written. Any terms contained in a purchase order, vendor portal, or similar document issued by you are void and of no effect.
23.6 Severability
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible, and the remaining provisions continue in full force.
23.7 Waiver
No failure or delay in exercising any right constitutes a waiver. A waiver is effective only if in writing and signed by the waiving party.
23.8 Relationship of the Parties
The parties are independent contractors. Nothing creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment, or fiduciary relationship.
23.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries
