Recording & AI Use Agreement
Fiund, Inc. · Podcast Studio and Fiund Studio
Agreement version: studio-use/2026-11-13.2 · Effective for new acceptances from November 13, 20261. Parties, contribution, and scope
This agreement is between the person whose full name is entered in the acceptance record (Contributor) and Fiund, Inc. (Company), operator of Podcast Studio and Fiund Studio. Contribution means only audio, video, still images, speech, performance, text, screen shares, and other material that Contributor actually creates or has authority to license and submits through the service. An account signature covers eligible future contributions after acceptance. A session signature covers that Contributor's future contributions in the identified session. Each recording references the applicable session signature. It does not authorize another participant's contribution or change rights in earlier material.
2. License grant and commercial resale
Subject to applicable law, recorded restrictions, the applicable creator plan, and any controlling separately signed agreement, Contributor grants Company a worldwide, nonexclusive, transferable and sublicensable license to reproduce, store, organize, annotate, transcribe, translate, synchronize, edit, segment, combine, distribute, display, perform, publish, market, and commercially license or resell the Contribution, including as original or derived audio, video, text, metadata, or datasets. Company may sublicense to its customers, their authorized service providers, and downstream licensees for the uses described here, subject to their agreements and applicable restrictions. Contributor retains ownership; this is a license, not an ownership assignment.
3. AI development and training
Authorized uses expressly include commercial and noncommercial machine learning and artificial intelligence research, pretraining, training, fine-tuning, alignment, evaluation, testing, benchmarking, and improvement of models and systems, including speech, language, audio, video, and multimodal systems. Licensees may create transcripts, annotations, embeddings, features, and other transformations needed for these uses and may develop and commercialize resulting models and products subject to law and their license restrictions. These permissions do not by themselves authorize unlawful biometric identification, deceptive impersonation, or any specially regulated use requiring additional consent or legal basis.
4. Publication, advertising, voice, and likeness
Within the Contribution and the uses authorized here, Contributor permits use of their recorded voice, image, likeness, performance, and any name they authorize for publication, websites, social media, product demonstrations, promotion, and advertising. This does not authorize a false endorsement, an unrelated personal testimonial, or misrepresentation of Contributor's affiliation. Private account email addresses and signing audit records are not public advertising assets. Separate authority is needed for anyone else's likeness or performance.
5. Authority and third-party material
Contributor confirms that the entered name is their own full legal name, that they are at least 18 and legally capable of signing, and that they control the rights they grant. For uploaded material, Contributor has the right to license their directly uploaded contributions, including obtaining necessary third-party releases and permissions. Contributor will identify known restrictions and will not knowingly submit infringing, confidential, unlawfully recorded, or unauthorized material. Each guest accepts for themselves; a host's acceptance is not a substitute for guest permission or source clearance.
6. Consideration and payments
Access to the service and the mutual commitments in these agreements are consideration for this grant. There is no royalty or payment except as stated in the applicable Creator Plans & Licensing Agreement or a controlling separately executed deal. Free licensing carries no creator royalty; opted-in Pro licensing uses the agreed net-revenue share. Those plan choices, exclusions, allocation terms, documented deductions, payment conditions, and existing negotiated rights are preserved. A guest signature alone does not create a separate royalty promise or alter a host's existing signed deal.
7. Duration, choices, and withdrawal
The license continues for the applicable copyright and related-rights term unless limited by the controlling agreement or applicable law. An available plan opt-out, an agreed exclusion, or a legally required withdrawal applies to future licensing as specified by that choice or law. Contact legal@podcaststudio.com to request restriction, withdrawal, or deletion. Company will assess and implement legally required restrictions and notify affected recipients where required. Completed lawful sublicenses and permitted previously delivered copies may continue to be governed by their terms; completed training may not be technically reversible. Nothing removes statutory withdrawal, objection, erasure, consumer, or other nonwaivable rights or prevents a required remedy.
8. Evidence and recording association
Contributor adopts their typed full name through the displayed affirmative checkbox and Continue or Join action. Company retains the exact accepted document text, notice, version, name, server time, identity reference, and integrity evidence. Session acceptance is linked to the recordings made afterward in that session. A technical reconnect or routine device check is not a new signature. The downloadable agreement and audit record can be retained by Contributor and reviewed for rights verification. Signing records are confidential and may be disclosed to authorized reviewers or buyers only as reasonably necessary for diligence and subject to appropriate safeguards.
9. Limitations and priority
This agreement cannot grant rights Contributor does not control, override a mandatory law, guarantee a recording's admissibility or enforceability, or automatically clear it for commercial sale. Company must still review source rights, all participant permissions, restrictions, quality, and the relevant deal. A specific separately executed agreement controls an express conflict; applicable creator plan choices control their commercial scope and compensation. The Studio Terms and Privacy Policy also apply. No later signature silently rewrites an earlier grant.
