Terms of Service

Last updated: June 16, 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Koe (“Koe”, “we”, “us”) and govern your access to and use of the Koe website, applications, and services (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The short version

  • You own your content. The songs, images, and prompts you upload, and the videos and images you generate with Koe, are yours.
  • You grant us a limited license to host and process your content only so we can run the Service for you — including sending it to the AI providers that generate your video.
  • We claim broader rights only over content you choose to publish publicly (e.g. to the community feed), and only to display and distribute it as part of the Service.
  • You’re responsible for having the rights to what you upload (especially music and images of real people).

This summary is for convenience only; the full terms below control.

1. Who can use Koe

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the Service. If you are under 18, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

2. The Service

Koe is a creative tool that helps you turn songs, prompts, images, and ideas into videos (including music videos) using artificial intelligence. The Service may evolve over time, and we may add, change, or remove features. We may also set usage limits, including limits tied to your plan or credit balance.

3. Your account

You are responsible for your account, for keeping your login credentials secure, and for all activity that happens under your account. Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized use. You may delete your account at any time from your settings.

4. Your content and ownership

You own your content.“Your Content” means everything you upload or provide to the Service (such as songs, audio, images, reference photos, characters, and prompts) and the outputs you generate using the Service (such as frames and videos). As between you and Koe, you retain all ownership rights you have in Your Content. We do not claim ownership of it.

License you grant us to run the Service. To operate the Service for you, you grant Koe a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (e.g. encode, resize, create previews/thumbnails), and process Your Content, solely as needed to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service. This includes transmitting Your Content to the third-party AI and infrastructure providers we use to generate and deliver your videos (see §8 and our Privacy Policy). This license exists only to run the Service and ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except for (a) copies retained in routine backups for a limited period and (b) content you have already shared publicly or that others have re-shared.

Content you publish publicly. If you choose to publish Your Content (for example, to the community feed, your public profile, leaderboards, or via a share link), you additionally grant Koe and other users a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to view, display, distribute, and promote that content within and through the Service (including in social previews and embeds). You can remove public content at any time; doing so stops future distribution by us, though copies others already downloaded or re-shared may persist.

Your responsibilities.You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, licenses, and permissions necessary for Your Content and for our processing of it as described here. In particular, you are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to any music, audio, images, brands, or likenesses you upload — including AI-generated songs, samples, and images of real people — and that Your Content does not infringe anyone’s intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights or violate any law or these Terms.

About AI-generated output.Outputs are produced by generative AI models and are provided on an “as is” basis. Similar or identical outputs may be generated for other users, so we cannot promise your output is unique. The legal status and copyrightability of AI-generated material varies by jurisdiction and may be uncertain; we make no representation that any output is protectable or non-infringing, and you are responsible for how you use it.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you.

Service improvement. We do not sell Your Content. We may use aggregated or de-identified data about how the Service is used to operate and improve it. If we ever want to use Your Content to train our own models, we will obtain your consent or give you a clear way to opt out first.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to create, upload, or share content that:

  • infringes anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
  • depicts a real, identifiable person without their consent in a misleading way, or impersonates someone;
  • is sexual content involving minors, or sexual content depicting a real person without consent;
  • is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or incites violence;
  • is intended to deceive or defraud (including deceptive deepfakes or disinformation); or
  • attempts to reverse-engineer, scrape, overload, or circumvent the security, rate limits, or access controls of the Service.

We may use automated and manual review to enforce these rules and may remove content or suspend accounts that violate them.

6. Plans, credits, and payments

Some features require a paid plan or credits. Payments are processed by our payment provider, Stripe; we do not store your full card details. By purchasing, you authorize the applicable charges, including recurring charges for subscriptions until you cancel.

  • Subscriptions renew automatically each billing period unless you cancel before renewal. You can cancel anytime from your settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.
  • Credits are a prepaid, limited license to use paid features. They have no cash value, are non-transferable, and — except where required by law — are non-refundable and may expire as described at checkout or on our pricing page.
  • Prices may change; changes apply to future purchases and renewals. Taxes may apply.

Because generating a video consumes real compute the moment you run it, credits spent on completed or in-progress generations are generally not refundable. If a generation fails due to our error, we will restore the affected credits. Nothing here limits any non-waivable refund or withdrawal rights you have under your local consumer-protection law.

7. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers — including cloud hosting, storage and content delivery, payment processing, and AI model providers — to function. Your use of the Service includes the processing of Your Content by these providers as needed to deliver features. We list the categories of providers we use in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.

8. Koe's intellectual property

The Service itself — including our software, models we develop, design, branding, and the “Koe” name and logo — belongs to Koe and our licensors and is protected by law. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

9. Copyright and takedowns

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, email [email protected] with: a description of the work, the URL of the allegedly infringing content, your contact details, and a statement that you have a good- faith belief the use is unauthorized and that your notice is accurate. We may remove content and terminate repeat infringers.

10. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure for us, or for prolonged inactivity. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (such as ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

11. Disclaimers

The Service and all outputs are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that outputs will meet your expectations. You use the Service and outputs at your own risk.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Koe and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Koe harmless from claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of anyone’s rights.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [your governing-law jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located there will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, except where your local law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere. Nothing here removes mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the law of your country of residence.
