These Terms govern your use of octopuss.studio and any services provided by Octopuss Studio ("we", "us"), operated by Octopuss Studio. By using the site or ordering our services, you agree to these Terms.

1. SERVICES
We create AI-generated content for brands, including AI influencers and models, images, video, UGC-style content, campaign concepts and related creative work. The exact scope, deliverables, formats, quantity and timeline are set out in a written quote, proposal or invoice ("Order") that you approve.

2. ORDERS AND PROCESS
- A project starts when you approve the Order in writing (email counts) and pay any required deposit.
- Timelines are estimates and depend on timely feedback and materials from you.
- Anything outside the Order is extra work and will be quoted separately.

3. PRICES AND PAYMENT
- Prices are in USD/EUR/BYN and exclude taxes unless stated otherwise.
- Unless the Order says otherwise: 50% deposit before work starts, the balance before final files are delivered.
- Invoices are due within 5 business days. Late payments may pause work.
- Deposits are non-refundable once work has started, except where required by law.

4. YOUR MATERIALS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
You confirm that you own or have the right to use all materials you give us (logos, product photos, brand assets, references) and that they do not infringe anyone's rights. You are responsible for approving the final content for legal, advertising and platform compliance in your market, including claims made about your products.

5. REVISIONS AND APPROVAL
Each Order includes 2 rounds of revisions on the agreed concept. Additional rounds are billed separately. Changes to the approved concept count as new work. Deliverables are considered accepted if we receive no feedback within 3-5 business days of delivery.

6. AI-GENERATED CONTENT
- AI output can vary and may contain small imperfections. We will review and refine work before delivery, but we cannot guarantee exact reproduction of real products, logos, text or hands in every frame. Where precision matters (logos, packaging, label text), we composite your real assets in post-production.
- We may use third-party AI tools. Their terms and licenses may apply to the output.
- We label AI-generated content as such when required by law or by the platform where it is published, and we recommend you do the same.
- Legal protection (such as copyright) for purely AI-generated content may be limited or unavailable in some jurisdictions. We do not guarantee that such protection exists.

7. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE
- After full payment, we grant you an exclusive, perpetual license to use the final delivered content for purposes described in the Order (e.g. your own marketing and advertising).
- AI influencers, characters and models we create for you remain exclusive to you for the Order's use. Their likeness is fictional; any resemblance to a real person is unintentional.
- We keep ownership of our working files, prompts, methods, tools, templates and know-how.
- You may not resell, sublicense or repackage our work as a standalone product without written permission.

8. PORTFOLIO RIGHTS
We may display delivered work and process materials in our portfolio and on social media, unless you ask us in writing not to before delivery (an NDA or confidentiality fee may apply).

9. CONCEPT PROJECTS
Our portfolio includes independent concept projects. They are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any brand shown, and all brand names and trademarks belong to their owners.

10. CONFIDENTIALITY
We keep your non-public materials and business information confidential and use them only to perform the Order. This does not cover information that is public or that we are legally required to disclose.

11. PROHIBITED USE
You may not use our work for deception (for example presenting AI people as real individuals without disclosure where disclosure is required), impersonating real people, illegal or hateful content, or harassment. We may refuse or stop work that violates this section.

12. CANCELLATION
You may cancel in writing at any time. You pay for work completed up to that date and any non-recoverable costs. We may cancel if you do not pay, do not provide required materials, or breach these Terms.

13. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
Our services and the website are provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee specific business results, such as sales, followers or approval by advertising platforms.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability under any Order is limited to the amount you paid us for that Order. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits.

15. INDEMNITY
You will cover claims and costs arising from materials you provided or from your use of the final content in breach of these Terms or applicable law.

16. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, including outages of third-party AI or hosting services.

17. PRIVACY
We handle personal data as described in our Privacy Policy at https://octopuss.studio/privacy-policy.

18. WEBSITE USE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All content on octopuss.studio, including the logo, design and text, belongs to Octopuss Studio. You may not copy or reuse it without permission.

19. CHANGES
We may update these Terms. Updates apply to new Orders; an approved Order keeps the Terms in force on the date you approved it.

20. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES
These Terms are governed by the laws of Belarus. We will first try to resolve disputes by good-faith discussion; failing that, the courts of Minsk. Belarus have jurisdiction. Mandatory consumer rights in your country are not affected.
