Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of Crane Voice Studio (the “Service”), operated by Crane AI Labs (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

Crane Voice Studio provides text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and voice cloning for African languages. Every audio file we generate carries a Meta AudioSeal watermark and can be checked on our Verify page.

2. Accounts

You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your credentials and API keys secure. You must be able to form a binding contract to use the Service. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

3. Credits and payment

The Service runs on prepaid credits. Credits are consumed per generation (see Pricing). Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and are sold in USD. Purchases are processed by Stripe; we do not store your card details. Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• clone a person’s voice without their explicit, documented consent;
• impersonate, defraud, or mislead others, or produce audio you present as genuine when it is synthetic;
• create unlawful, harassing, hateful, or infringing content, or content that violates a third party’s rights;
• remove, obscure, or tamper with the AudioSeal watermark, or attempt to defeat provenance verification;
• probe, overload, or circumvent the Service’s security, rate limits, or credit metering.

5. Your content

You retain rights to the text and audio you submit and to the outputs you generate, subject to these Terms. You represent that you have the rights and consents necessary for any reference audio you upload for cloning. You grant us the limited rights needed to operate the Service (process, store, and return your content, and store provenance records).

6. Provenance and watermarking

Watermarking is a core feature, not an optional one. We may retain hashes and watermark records of generated audio to support public verification.

7. Availability and changes

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features, and may update these Terms; material changes will be posted here with a new “last updated” date.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising from the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages.
