Creator Plan & Licensing Terms
Podcast Studio is operated by Fiund, Inc. These terms describe the plan, marketplace licensing choice, and revenue share you explicitly select on your Account page. They supplement the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Recording & AI Use Agreement. Your saved licensing choice governs new marketplace submissions; it does not undo executed licenses.
Ownership and permissions
You retain ownership of your contributions. For recordings enrolled in licensing, you authorize non-exclusive commercial licensing of eligible audio, video, transcripts, and associated metadata for AI training, evaluation, and model improvement. Only submit material you are authorized to license. Hosts cannot grant another guest's rights. Required participant releases and content clearance must be verified before delivery. Enrollment does not guarantee marketplace acceptance or a sale.
Free: licensing-supported access
The Free plan costs $0 and includes unlimited original recording storage and no monthly recording limit. You explicitly authorize eligible future recordings for AI-training licensing. You receive no creator royalty or share of licensing proceeds on this plan; the company retains the licensing proceeds. This plan requires that licensing choice. It does not transfer ownership of your content.
Creator Pro
Creator Pro costs $35 USD per month, plus applicable taxes, and renews until cancelled through Manage billing. You may choose whether to enroll eligible recordings in marketplace licensing. When enrolled, your standard share is 50% of net licensing revenue allocated to your data, and the company's share is 50%. A different negotiated deal requires a separately accepted agreement; the platform will not silently substitute a different percentage.
Net licensing revenue and expenses
Net licensing revenue is licensing revenue actually received, less documented expenses attributable to finding, preparing, storing, processing, administering, and delivering the licensed data, including payment fees and allocated operating expenses. Shared expenses must use a documented allocation method and cannot be deducted twice. Subscription fees are separate from licensing revenue. No licensing sale or earnings are guaranteed.
Where a deal includes multiple creators, a documented allocation must identify the revenue and expenses assigned to each creator's data. The expense breakdown and applicable share appear in your earnings statement. Expenses cannot create a negative creator payout or an obligation for you to fund a licensing loss under these standard terms.
Plan changes and payout timing
Each licensing allocation must identify the accepted agreement and share that apply to it. Upgrades do not retroactively change already agreed allocations. Cancellation does not forfeit earned royalties or rewrite executed deal terms. You may cancel renewal in Manage billing and retain paid access through the paid period. When paid access ends, new recording work requires renewal or explicit acceptance of the Free plan. A payment failure does not automatically opt your recordings into Free-plan licensing.
Creator payouts require completion of Stripe's payout onboarding and any required identity or tax information. Allocations become payable after funds are received and the deal's applicable conditions, adjustments, and reconciliation are complete. A paid status must reference a confirmed payout; an allocation alone does not mean funds were transferred.
Changing licensing preferences
Creator Pro users may disable new licensing submissions on the Account page. New submissions stop when that preference is saved. Previously executed licenses, distributed copies, completed AI training, and already committed deals may not be reversible. Re-enrollment is prospective unless particular existing material is explicitly cleared under new terms.
Both plans include unlimited original recording storage. Technical file/session limits, integrity checks, and processing/delivery safeguards still apply. No monthly recording allowance is imposed by either plan.
