SAM Terms of Service

These Terms govern access to SAM AI, including the website, creation studio, AI tools, subscriptions, credits, generated music, generated video, publishing tools, referral rewards, royalties, creator fund features, and any connected services. By creating an account, joining the waitlist, purchasing a plan, uploading content, generating outputs, or using SAM in any way, the user agrees to follow these Terms.

1. Eligibility and accounts

• Users must provide accurate registration information, including name, username, email, country, date of birth, and contact details where required.
• Users are responsible for protecting their passwords and all activity under their accounts.
• SAM may require email, phone, payment, identity, or rights verification before enabling paid plans, publishing, monetization, royalties, affiliate payouts, or creator fund payouts.
• Users must meet the minimum age required in their country. Where a user is under the age of legal digital consent, a parent, guardian, school, or authorized organization must approve use.

2. AI-generated content and ownership

• Subject to these Terms, paid-plan users may use their SAM-generated outputs commercially for ads, client work, monetized channels, campaigns, events, releases, and business content.
• Free-plan outputs may include watermarks, lower priority rendering, limited rights, and usage restrictions until upgraded.
• Users own or control the prompts, uploads, lyrics, branding, voice samples, references, images, music, videos, or other materials they submit.
• Users are responsible for ensuring that their prompts and uploads do not infringe copyright, privacy, publicity, trademark, performer, moral, database, or contractual rights.
• SAM does not guarantee that every AI output is unique, registrable, copyrightable, suitable for every platform, or free from third-party claims.

3. Acceptable use and prohibited content

• Users may not create illegal, exploitative, hateful, harassing, fraudulent, deceptive, sexually abusive, child-harmful, extremist, malware-related, or rights-infringing content.
• Users may not impersonate real people, clone voices, imitate private individuals, mislead audiences, or create deceptive political, financial, medical, legal, or emergency content.
• Users may not use SAM to spam, scrape, resell access, bypass credits, abuse referrals, manipulate creator fund points, launder payments, or overload infrastructure.
• SAM may remove content, block exports, suspend accounts, reverse credits, withhold payouts, or terminate access where abuse, fraud, rights conflict, safety risk, or legal exposure is suspected.

4. Credits, subscriptions, payments, and refunds

• Credits are a platform unit used to generate outputs. Music typically uses fewer credits; video uses more credits because rendering costs are higher.
• Plans, credit packs, one-off packages, founder passes, and usage limits may change before or after launch as provider costs, fraud risk, and market conditions change.
• Subscription fees are billed in advance. Users are responsible for taxes, foreign exchange fees, payment provider charges, and local payment limitations.
• Refunds are handled according to the published refund policy and may be denied for consumed credits, generated outputs, abuse, chargeback fraud, or violated terms.
• SAM may pause, throttle, or meter high-cost video generation to protect platform sustainability.

5. Affiliate, royalty, and creator fund rules

• Affiliate commissions, remix royalties, style royalties, and creator fund payouts are promotional and platform-governed earning systems, not employment, wages, securities, or guaranteed income.
• SAM may verify referrals, filter fraud, adjust points, delay payments, set minimum payout thresholds, pay in cash or credits, and modify earning rules with notice.
• Users may not self-refer, create fake accounts, buy fake engagement, exchange fraudulent clicks, manipulate views, or use bots to earn rewards.

6. Suspension, termination, and limitation of liability

• SAM may suspend or terminate accounts for abuse, non-payment, rights claims, security risks, platform manipulation, unlawful use, or repeated policy violations.
• SAM is provided as-is during preview, beta, and early launch. Features may fail, change, or be delayed. This is unfortunate, but so is most software.
• To the fullest extent allowed by law, SAM limits liability for indirect damages, lost profits, lost data, platform downtime, AI output disputes, third-party service failures, or rejected platform submissions.

SAM Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SAM may collect, use, store, protect, and share personal data when a person visits the website, joins the waitlist, creates an account, buys credits, generates content, publishes outputs, earns rewards, or contacts SAM.

1. Information collected

• Account data: name, username, email, confirmed email, date of birth, country, state or province, phone number, password credentials, language, and preferences.
• Usage data: pages visited, buttons clicked, creation type, credit use, plan selection, device type, browser, IP address, approximate location, session activity, and error logs.
• Creation data: prompts, uploads, lyrics, audio files, voice samples, images, videos, style settings, generated outputs, project metadata, edits, exports, and publishing activity.
• Payment data: plan, invoices, transaction status, credit purchases, subscription history, refund requests, and payout eligibility. Full card details should be processed by trusted payment providers, not stored by SAM.
• Earning data: referral links, referral activity, commission balances, royalty events, creator fund points, payout history, fraud checks, and tax or verification information where required.

2. How SAM uses information

• To create accounts, manage login, verify users, deliver credits, generate outputs, save projects, process plans, and operate the creation studio.
• To improve models, prompts, UX, safety systems, credit pricing, fraud detection, customer support, analytics, and product reliability.
• To provide publishing features, platform integrations, streaming/distribution workflows, referral programs, creator fund scoring, royalties, and notifications.
• To enforce Terms, prevent abuse, respond to rights claims, investigate fraud, protect minors, comply with law, and secure the platform.

3. Cookies, analytics, and third-party services

• SAM may use cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics tools, error monitoring, and performance tools to remember preferences, measure usage, and improve services.
• SAM may work with providers such as hosting companies, payment processors, email providers, analytics tools, cloud storage, AI model vendors, social platforms, streaming partners, distribution partners, and customer support systems.
• Connected platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Snapchat, Reddit, WhatsApp, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, Pandora, Tidal, Deezer, DistroKid, and ALS may apply their own terms and privacy policies.

4. User rights and control

• Users may request access, correction, deletion, export, restriction, or objection where applicable law provides those rights.
• Users may unsubscribe from marketing emails, disconnect platform integrations, delete projects where supported, and close accounts subject to legal, fraud, payment, and rights-retention requirements.
• Users should not upload sensitive personal data, private identity documents, private voice samples, child data, health data, legal evidence, or confidential client information unless SAM explicitly supports and protects that use case.

5. Data retention, security, and international transfers

• SAM keeps data only as long as needed for account operation, legal compliance, payment records, fraud prevention, rights claims, backups, and product improvement.
• SAM should use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards including encryption in transit, access controls, monitoring, backups, and vendor review.
• Data may be processed in countries outside the user's country. Where required, SAM should use appropriate safeguards for international transfer.

6. Children, sensitive use, and AI welfare standards

• SAM should not knowingly collect personal data from children below the legal digital consent age without required authorization.
• AI content involving minors, vulnerable persons, identity simulation, voice cloning, political persuasion, health, legal, finance, public safety, or justice-related content may require additional controls or may be restricted.
• SAM aims to support modern digital welfare: transparency, creator rights, privacy, safety, fair market access, and protection from manipulation, exploitation, and fraud.

7. Contact and policy changes

• SAM may update Terms and Privacy as the platform grows. Material changes should be shown clearly before they take effect.
• Questions, rights requests, copyright notices, privacy requests, and partnership inquiries should be sent through the Contact section or official SAM support channels once launched.
