Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using Varimuse ("we," "us," or "our") at varimuse.ai (the "Service"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

1. Description of Service

  • Publish selected content to a public gallery for community viewing
  • Vote on and discover content shared by other users

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

2.1 Age Requirement

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in certain jurisdictions) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you are between 13 and 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2.2 Account Creation

To access certain features, you must create an account by providing a valid email address. We use passwordless authentication via "magic links" sent to your email. You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the security of your email account
  • All activities that occur under your account
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use
  • Ensuring your account information is accurate and current

2.3 Account Restrictions

You may not:

  • Create multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or bans
  • Share your account access with others
  • Transfer or sell your account
  • Use automated means to create accounts

3. Credits and Payment

3.1 Credit System

The Service operates on a credit-based system. Credits are used to generate content through our AI providers. New accounts receive a limited number of complimentary credits. Additional credits can be purchased through our platform.

3.2 Credit Pricing

Credit packages are priced at approximately $1 USD per 1,000 credits, with bonus credits available on larger packages. The exact cost per generation varies based on the AI model used and generation parameters. Current pricing is displayed on our pricing page and at the time of purchase.

3.3 Credit Expiration

Credits do not expire as long as your account remains active and in good standing. However, credits may be forfeited if your account is terminated for violation of these Terms.

3.4 Refund Policy

All credit purchases are final and non-refundable, except:

  • Where required by applicable consumer protection laws
  • Where credits were charged but the Service completely failed to deliver any functionality (not applicable to individual failed generations)
  • In cases of duplicate charges or billing errors, which will be corrected upon verification

Credits are not refunded for: failed generations (which may occur due to AI provider issues, content filtering, or technical limitations), unused credits, account termination for Terms violations, or dissatisfaction with generated outputs.

3.5 Failed Generations

Generations may occasionally fail due to AI provider errors, content policy violations, or technical issues. In most cases of technical failures (not content policy violations), credits are not deducted or may be refunded automatically. We do not guarantee that every generation attempt will succeed.

3.6 Price Changes

We reserve the right to modify credit pricing at any time. Price changes will not affect credits already purchased. We will provide reasonable notice of significant price increases.

4. User Content and Intellectual Property

4.1 Your Prompts

You retain ownership of the original creative expression in the prompts you submit ("User Prompts"). By submitting prompts, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and transmit your prompts as necessary to provide the Service, including transmitting them to third-party AI providers.

4.2 Generated Content Ownership

The ownership of AI-generated content ("Generated Content") is a complex and evolving legal area. Subject to the terms of the underlying AI models and applicable law:

  • Your Rights: To the maximum extent permitted by law and the applicable AI provider terms, you may use Generated Content created from your prompts for personal and commercial purposes, subject to Section 4.3.
  • No Exclusivity: AI models may generate similar or identical outputs for different users with similar prompts. We cannot guarantee that your Generated Content is unique or that others will not create substantially similar content.
  • Third-Party Terms: Your rights to Generated Content may be subject to additional restrictions imposed by the AI model providers (such as Replicate, Stability AI, OpenAI, etc.). It is your responsibility to review and comply with applicable provider terms.

  • Display published content in our Explore gallery
