This document uses placeholders shown like [THIS]. Replace each one (business name, contact email, jurisdiction, effective date) before publishing. This template is a starting point and is not legal advice — have it reviewed by a qualified professional.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Axolutely (the "Service"), operated by [BUSINESS NAME] ("we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility & accounts

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to use the Service.
You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information and for keeping your password secure.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
Upload or process content you do not have the right to use.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems.
Interfere with, disrupt, or place undue load on the Service, or attempt to circumvent usage limits, rate limits, or abuse protections.
Use the Service to build a competing product by scraping or bulk-extracting data.

3. Your content

You retain ownership of the content you create or upload ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited license to store, process, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you. You are responsible for Your Content and for ensuring you have the rights to it, including any third-party material (such as imported captions or media references).

4. AI features

The Service offers optional AI Assist features that send text you submit to a third-party AI provider to generate suggestions. AI output may be inaccurate or incomplete; you are responsible for reviewing and editing it before use. AI usage is metered by plan and subject to the credit allowances described at checkout and on our pricing page.

5. Subscriptions, billing & renewals

The Service offers a free plan and paid plans ("Creator" and "Creator Pro"). Plan features and limits are described on our pricing page.
Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) through our payment processor, Stripe.
Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.
Prices are in U.S. dollars and may change; we will give reasonable notice of price changes affecting your next renewal.

6. Cancellation & refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account or billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain paid access until then. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods. [ADJUST REFUND TERMS AS NEEDED]

7. Plan limits

Each plan includes limits (such as content items, AI credits, and import counts). We enforce these limits on our servers. If you reach a limit, you may need to upgrade or wait until your allowance resets.

8. Service availability

We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. We may perform maintenance that temporarily limits access.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or use the Service in a way that may cause harm or legal liability. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, [BUSINESS NAME] will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and material changes may be communicated within the Service. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts located there, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
