Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using VCaaS ("the Platform"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by these terms, please do not use our service.

2. Description of Service

VCaaS provides web, API, and operator-integrated services for voice processing, text-to-speech generation, provenance, and audio verification. Available capabilities depend on the deployment, enabled integrations, operator policy, and applicable law.

3. Strict Acceptable Use Policy

As a user of VCaaS, you are strictly prohibited from using the platform to:

• Clone the voice of any individual (living or deceased) without their explicit, written, and revocable consent.
• Generate audio intended to deceive, defraud, or impersonate individuals or organizations.
• Produce hate speech, harassment, defamatory content, or content that incites violence.
• Bypass, tamper with, or attempt to remove the cryptographic acoustic watermark embedded in all generated audio.
• Use the platform to create political misinformation or deepfakes for political campaigns.

Violation of these terms will result in immediate account termination, deletion of all associated models, and potential reporting to relevant authorities.

4. Cryptographic Watermarking & Verification

Where watermarking is enabled, generated audio contains a cryptographic provenance signal. Watermark detection is evidence of processing by a known system; it is not absolute proof of human or synthetic origin for every audio file. You acknowledge the applicable watermark and provenance behavior for the workflow you use.

5. Intellectual Property & Ownership

Your Content: You retain ownership of any reference audio you upload, provided you have the legal right to possess and use it. You grant VCaaS a temporary license to process this audio solely for generating your requested text-to-speech outputs.

Generated Audio: You own the rights to the synthesized audio generated by your prompts, subject to your compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy. Commercial usage is permitted only under the appropriate paid tier.

6. API Usage & Rate Limiting

If accessing VCaaS through an API or operator integration, you agree to secure authentication credentials and follow the applicable consent, privacy, retention, and intervention policies. You are responsible for activity under your credentials. We may enforce rate limits, suspend access, or require review when we detect abuse, policy violations, or attempts to bypass usage limits.

7. Limitation of Liability

VCaaS is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of the platform, the inability to use the platform, or any unauthorized access to your data.

8. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify users of significant changes via the email address associated with their account. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
