Studio Terms of Service
Fiund, Inc. · Podcast Studio and Fiund Studio
Agreement version: studio-use/2026-11-13.2 · Effective for new acceptances from November 13, 20261. Parties and acceptance
These Terms govern the remote recording, upload, editing, review, and dataset services operated by Fiund, Inc. (Company), including Podcast Studio and Fiund Studio. You enter these Terms in your individual capacity for your own contributions and, if you represent an organization, only to the extent you are authorized to bind it. A separate negotiated agreement controls where it expressly conflicts with these Terms. You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter this agreement. Do not join or upload if you cannot accept these conditions.
2. Accounts and service
Provide accurate account and contact information, keep your credentials secure, and notify support of suspected unauthorized access. A guest can join without an account but must enter their full name and accept the session agreement. The service depends on browser permissions, device capacity, network availability, and supported formats. Preserve your own copies of important materials. Upload completion, technical review, rights clearance, and commercial delivery are distinct steps; none alone guarantees a sale or payment.
3. Your content and uploaded contributions
You retain ownership of your content. I have the right to license any contributions I directly upload. By uploading, you represent that you have the copyrights, performer and publicity rights, permissions, releases, and authority necessary for the uses you select, including third-party contributions, music, screen shares, and confidential material. Identify any restriction before submission. Do not upload material owned by an employer, client, publisher, guest, or other person without the necessary authority. A host cannot sign away a guest's independent rights.
4. Service permission
You grant Company and its service providers a nonexclusive permission to host, copy, transmit, secure, recover, transcode, synchronize, edit as instructed, analyze for technical quality, and provide downloads of materials you submit, to operate the features you use. Commercial licensing is governed by the separately presented Recording & AI Use Agreement, your applicable creator plan, any opt-in or opt-out, and any negotiated deal. Directory listings and unrelated website visits do not themselves grant commercial rights in recordings.
5. Recording and AI licensing agreement
The Recording & AI Use Agreement is incorporated when you explicitly accept it. It identifies commercial publication, advertising, dataset resale, and AI training permissions. Only contributions covered by a valid acceptance and controlled by the signer are included. Earlier recordings are not licensed retroactively by accepting an updated agreement. Third-party rights, privacy obligations, withdrawal requests, and applicable law still require review before delivery. Company may decline or exclude material even where permission has been given.
6. Creator plans and compensation
The current Creator Plans & Licensing Agreement is available at /creator-licensing.html. Free accounts opt into eligible future AI licensing with no creator royalty. Pro accounts may opt in or out and, when opted in, receive the standard 50/50 share of net licensing revenue under that agreement unless a separate signed deal controls. No revenue or minimum payment is promised. Documented attributable costs, allocation rules, payment reconciliation, identity and tax requirements, and any signed commercial terms continue to apply. Cancellation or payment failure does not automatically opt a Pro account into Free licensing. Changes are prospective and do not erase earned royalties.
7. Lawful participation
Do not submit unlawful, infringing, deceptive, confidential, or nonconsensually recorded material. Do not include minors or sensitive personal, medical, financial, biometric, or other specially regulated information unless Company has first approved an appropriate lawful workflow and all necessary permissions. Do not impersonate a signer, misrepresent identity or authority, interfere with the service, or attempt to access another workspace. You are responsible for applicable recording laws and for the rights in material you contribute.
8. Electronic records and signatures
Enter your full legal name yourself and affirm the displayed checkbox to adopt that name as your electronic signature for the identified agreement. The service records the agreement version, exact terms, server-received UTC time, account or guest identity reference, session and recording references where applicable, and integrity evidence. You can download an electronic copy as PDF and the associated audit data. A current browser and a PDF reader are needed to access and retain copies. Contact legal@podcaststudio.com to request a copy or an alternative signing method, update your contact information, or withdraw consent to future electronic signing; no copy-request fee is charged. Withdrawal does not invalidate completed agreements. A self-entered guest name is not independent identity verification, notarization, or certification by a third party.
9. Privacy and rights requests
The Privacy Policy explains processing of account information, recordings, and signing evidence. Contractual content permissions do not waive privacy, consumer, data protection, or other rights that cannot lawfully be waived. Contact legal@podcaststudio.com to report a rights issue, request access or correction, object, or request exclusion, withdrawal, or deletion. Company will assess the request under applicable law and the governing agreement, restrict future delivery where required, and communicate any retention or downstream limitations. Do not assume that deleting a local file recalls previously delivered datasets or reverses completed model training.
10. Changes, suspension, and termination
Company may suspend unlawful or unsafe use or restrict material pending review. You may stop using the service and request account closure. Material licensing changes require a new prospective acceptance; Company will not overwrite the agreement recorded for an earlier signature. Lawful completed sublicenses, accrued payment obligations, required retention, and provisions intended to survive remain subject to the applicable agreement and mandatory law. Account closure alone is not a new grant of rights.
11. Service limitations and responsibility
To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available without a guarantee of uninterrupted recording, recovery, commercial acceptance, or fitness for a specific purpose. Each party remains responsible for its own conduct. Nothing excludes liability or remedies that applicable law does not allow the parties to exclude, including applicable consumer rights. These Terms do not establish an employment, partnership, or agency relationship.
12. Entire agreement and contact
These Terms, the exact Recording & AI Use Agreement accepted, the Privacy Policy, the applicable Creator Plans & Licensing Agreement, and any controlling separately signed deal form the agreement for their respective subjects. If a provision cannot lawfully be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to the extent permitted by law. No arbitration requirement, governing-law election, or waiver of mandatory rights is implied. Questions and signing-copy requests: legal@podcaststudio.com.
