Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that you have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Service and that they have reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

2. Accounts and Security

You may need to create an account to access certain features of the Service. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account and to keep that information up to date.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us promptly at support@zstarlab.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights.
• Create, upload, or share content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable.
• Generate or distribute content that impersonates any person or entity or falsely suggests endorsement or affiliation.
• Create content that facilitates fraud, deception, misinformation, or harm to minors.
• Upload malicious code, attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, or interfere with its operation or security.
• Use automated means to access the Service in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load or bypasses technical limits.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to extract source code or model weights, except as permitted by law.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without our prior written permission.

We may investigate and take appropriate action, including removing content, suspending or terminating accounts, and reporting unlawful activity to the relevant authorities.

4. User Content and Inputs

You may submit text prompts, images, videos, audio, and other materials to the Service ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content, subject to the rights and licenses described in these Terms.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to submit your User Content and that your User Content, and our use of it as described in these Terms, does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party or any applicable law.

You grant ZStar Lab a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, and display your User Content solely as necessary to provide, operate, secure, and improve the Service, and to comply with applicable law.

5. AI-Generated Outputs

The Service uses artificial intelligence and machine learning models to generate videos and other outputs based on your inputs ("Outputs"). Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, unexpected, or similar to content generated for other users. You are responsible for reviewing Outputs before relying on or publishing them.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and applicable law, you may use the Outputs you generate for lawful purposes, including commercial purposes, unless a specific feature or third-party provider imposes additional restrictions. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of Outputs complies with applicable law and does not infringe the rights of others.

We do not guarantee that Outputs are unique or that they will be protected by intellectual property rights. To the extent permitted by law, we assign to you any rights we may have in the Outputs generated specifically for you, subject to your compliance with these Terms.

6. Intellectual Property and Ownership

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and other materials (excluding User Content and Outputs), is owned by or licensed to ZStar Lab and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service.

The ZStar Lab name, logo, and related marks are trademarks of ZStar Lab. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

7. Third-Party Services

The Service may rely on or link to third-party websites, APIs, AI models, and other services. Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services.

8. Fees and Payment

Certain features of the Service may be offered for a fee. If you purchase a paid feature or subscription, you agree to pay all applicable fees and taxes in accordance with the pricing presented at the time of purchase.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Unless required by applicable law or expressly stated at the time of purchase, fees are non-refundable. We may change pricing with reasonable notice, and continued use of paid features after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

9. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of others, or if necessary to protect the Service or its users.

You may stop using the Service at any time and may request deletion of your account by contacting us at support@zstarlab.com. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply, including provisions regarding intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ZStar Lab disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We do not warrant that the Service will be available at all times, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Your use of the Service is at your own risk.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ZStar Lab and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ZStar Lab and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your User Content, your Outputs, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which ZStar Lab is established, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at support@zstarlab.com before pursuing formal legal action.

Subject to applicable mandatory consumer protection laws, any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in that jurisdiction.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and may provide additional notice where required by law. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ZStar Lab regarding the Service.
