Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of all Renovate Audio products, software, and services.

Last Updated: October 25, 2026

Welcome to Renovate Audio. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of all Renovate Audio products, software, websites, plugins, applications, APIs, and related features and services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Certain products or features may be subject to additional Supplemental Terms, which will be made available at the point of access or purchase. Where Supplemental Terms apply, they are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

1 Definitions

"Renovate Audio," "we," "us," or "our" refers to the operator of the Service.

"Service" means, collectively, all Renovate Audio products and services — including but not limited to: web applications, desktop software, VST/VST3 and other audio plugins, AI generation tools, cloud storage and library features, APIs and backend services, the Renovate Audio website, user accounts, subscription plans, credit systems, and any future products or features offered under the Renovate Audio brand. Where specific products or features have Supplemental Terms, those terms apply in addition to these Terms.

"User," "you," or "your" refers to any individual or entity that accesses or uses the Service.

"Content" refers to any data, text, prompts, audio, files, or other materials you submit, upload, or generate through the Service.

"Supplemental Terms" means additional terms that apply to specific Renovate Audio products, features, or promotions, and which are incorporated into these Terms by reference when applicable.

2 Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you must be at least 16 years old. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" and "your" refer to that entity.

3 Account Registration

Access to certain features of the Service requires an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Keep your account credentials secure and confidential
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or suspected security breach
  • Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or remain inactive for an extended period consistent with our data retention practices.

4 The Service and AI Features

4.1 AI-Powered Generation

Where AI generation features are available through any part of the Service:

  • Outputs are generated by AI models and may vary in quality, style, and creative or musical suitability
  • We may use third-party AI providers to process requests; those providers are subject to their own terms and our data protection agreements
  • Output quality, accuracy, and fitness for any particular purpose are not guaranteed
  • Generation results are subject to technical limitations and may change across model or software versions

4.2 Content Inputs and Moderation

When submitting prompts, parameters, uploaded files, or other inputs to any AI feature:

  • Your inputs may be automatically or manually reviewed for policy compliance
  • We reserve the right to block, modify, or reject inputs that violate these Terms
  • Inputs requesting recreations of copyrighted songs, imitations of specific artists (living or deceased), or other protected works may be rejected
  • You are solely responsible for ensuring that any files or data you upload do not infringe third-party rights
  • We are not responsible for how you use AI-generated outputs — ensuring lawful and ethical use is your responsibility

4.3 Previews, Exports, and Output Rights

  • Certain features may offer a preview of generated outputs before a final export or download is completed
  • Previewing may be free; exporting, downloading, or unlocking full outputs may consume credits or require a paid plan, as disclosed in the interface
  • Outputs you export or download may be used in your music and other projects, including commercially, royalty-free (see Section 7.2), subject to these Terms
  • Temporary outputs (such as undownloaded previews) are not permanently retained and may be deleted automatically after a short period

Note on AI Output Ownership: We do not claim ownership of outputs you generate through the Service. However, because outputs are created by AI, they may not be eligible for copyright protection under applicable law. Renovate Audio makes no representation or guarantee regarding the copyright status of AI-generated outputs. You are responsible for understanding the intellectual property status of AI-generated content in your jurisdiction before using outputs commercially.

4.4 Cloud Storage Features

Certain Services include optional cloud storage features available to subscribers or qualifying users:

  • When you export or save an output, a copy may be stored in our cloud system and linked to your account
  • Cloud storage is a convenience feature, not a permanent backup or archival service
  • Non-subscribers typically receive outputs locally; cloud copies are not stored for non-subscribers unless otherwise stated for a specific product

If your subscription expires or is canceled:

  • Access to cloud-stored files may be paused or revoked
  • Export history and metadata may be retained for record-keeping, but file access may be suspended
  • Files may be deleted after a reasonable retention period at our discretion
  • Cloud access may be restored by reactivating your subscription

We may delete stored files at any time following subscription expiration, account deletion, or for security, legal, or operational reasons. You are responsible for maintaining your own local backups of any outputs you wish to keep long-term.

4.5 Supplemental Terms

Certain Renovate Audio products or features may be governed by Supplemental Terms in addition to these Terms. Where Supplemental Terms exist, they will be made available at the point of access or purchase for the applicable product or feature. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and applicable Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms govern with respect to that product or feature only.

5 Credits, Subscriptions, and Billing

5.1 Payment Models

Renovate Audio products and services may be offered under several purchasing models, including:

  • Credits — Digital units consumed to perform exports, downloads, or certain feature actions
  • Subscriptions — Recurring plans that may include credits, cloud storage access, and other premium features
  • One-Time Purchases — Non-recurring payments for software licenses, plugin purchases, sample packs, or other items

Pricing, credit costs, and features included in each model are displayed in the product interface or at the point of purchase and may change over time.

5.2 Credit System

Where a credit-based system applies:

  • Credits are tied to your account, have no cash value, and are non-transferable
  • Credit costs per action or feature are displayed in the interface and may vary by product
  • Monthly subscription credits reset on each billing date and do not roll over
  • Credits from a credit pack you buy do not expire while your account is open
  • New users may receive a one-time grant of free credits, which does not refresh
  • Promotional credits may carry restrictions, usage limitations, or expiration dates as described at the time of issuance
  • If your account is closed or terminated, any unused credits are forfeited (see Section 12)

5.3 Subscriptions, Renewal and Cancellation

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, at the price shown when you subscribed, until you cancel. On the new-account intro offer, Pro costs $1 for the first month and then renews at $10/month. You may cancel at any time in My Purchases or by emailing support@renovateaudio.com. A short survey asks why you are leaving; it is optional and you can skip it.

  • Cancel at end of billing period: available at any time. Your subscription will not renew, and you keep access to subscription benefits (including remaining monthly credits) until the end of the period you have already paid for.
  • Refund and cancel now: also available during the 14-day guarantee window for your first subscription (Section 5.5). Your first payment is refunded in full and access ends immediately.

  • Money-back guarantee: your first subscription purchase is eligible for a full refund of your first payment within 14 days of that first charge. On the intro offer, that first payment is $1. To request it, choose Cancel or refund in My Purchases and then "Refund and cancel now", or email support@renovateaudio.com
  • Later renewal charges (including the first full-price charge after the $1 intro month) are non-refundable, except as required by applicable law. You can cancel at any time to stop future renewals
  • Credit packs and other one-time purchases are non-refundable once purchased, except as required by applicable law or in the case of a billing error
  • If a generation fails due to a verified technical error on our end, we may, at our discretion, restore the credits used — we do not guarantee restoration for all failures
  • Contact support@renovateaudio.com if you experience repeated technical failures

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that engage in:

We respect copyright and respond to notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at support@renovateaudio.com, with the subject "DMCA notice". Your notice must include:

  3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it (for example, a URL or account name)
