4. Intellectual Property Rights

4.1 Platform and Service IP

The Service, including its software, algorithms, user interface, design, and content (excluding User-Generated Content), is owned by SoundStudioPro and is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property laws.

4.2 User-Generated Content

For Paid Subscribers:

Subject to these Terms, paid subscribers retain ownership of content generated using our Service during their active subscription period. You may use, distribute, reproduce, and commercialize your generated content, provided you comply with all applicable laws and these Terms.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Commercial Rights Timeline

Commercial rights are ONLY granted for content created AFTER you become a paid subscriber. Any tracks, music, or content generated while using a free account or before upgrading to a paid subscription DO NOT include commercial usage rights, even if you later become a paid subscriber.

This means:

Tracks created as a free user remain non-commercial forever
Upgrading to paid does NOT retroactively grant commercial rights to previously created content
Only new content created after payment is eligible for commercial use
Commercial use of pre-paid content constitutes a violation of these Terms

For Free Users:

Free users grant SoundStudioPro a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute content generated through our Service. Free users may not commercialize or distribute AI-generated content without upgrading to a paid subscription.

🚫 NO COMMERCIAL RIGHTS FOR FREE CONTENT

Content created with a free account has NO commercial usage rights whatsoever. This restriction applies permanently, even if you later upgrade to a paid subscription.

Free account limitations:

All generated content is for personal use only
No commercial licensing, distribution, or monetization allowed
No retroactive rights granted upon upgrading to paid
Violation may result in legal action and account termination

4.3 Original User Content

You retain ownership of any original content (lyrics, prompts, descriptions) that you provide to the Service. By submitting such content, you grant us a license to use it solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

4.4 Retroactive Rights and Timeline

⏰ COMMERCIAL RIGHTS TIMELINE - NO RETROACTIVE GRANTS

Commercial usage rights are strictly tied to your subscription status at the time of content creation. This is a fundamental aspect of our licensing model and cannot be altered.

Key Timeline Rules:

Free Period Content: Any content created while using a free account remains non-commercial forever
Paid Period Content: Only content created after payment is eligible for commercial use
No Retroactive Rights: Upgrading to paid does NOT grant commercial rights to previously created content
Account Downgrades: If you cancel paid subscription, new content reverts to free user restrictions
Permanent Record: We maintain records of when content was created and under what account type

Legal Protection: By using our Service, you acknowledge and agree that commercial rights are non-retroactive and timeline-based. Any attempt to commercialize content created during a free period constitutes a violation of these Terms and may result in legal action.

4.5 Attribution and Usage Rights

When using content generated through our Service, you must:

Comply with all applicable copyright and intellectual property laws
Not claim that AI-generated content was created entirely by human effort
Respect the rights of third parties whose content may be referenced
