The deal, in plain words.

These terms are the agreement between you and Story to Music. They start the moment you open an account or buy credits, and they run until you close the account.

They cover the website, the studio where you write a brief, the songs we make, and your library. If a term here ever clashes with a right your own consumer law gives you, your law wins. We are not trying to sign away anything you are owed.

You tell us who the song is for, the occasion, and the details worth singing about. We write original lyrics from that brief, you approve or edit them, and then we record the song.

Every song comes with the same four things:

• A full-length track, two to three minutes, with vocals and instrumentation.
• Original lyrics written from your brief — no templates, no recycled verses.
• Cover artwork made for that song.
• An MP3 download and a share link that keeps working.

Lyrics usually appear in seconds and the finished song in two to five minutes. That is the normal case, not a guarantee — see section 10.

• You must be 18 or over to hold an account.
• Give us details that are actually yours and actually true.
• Your login is yours alone. Do not share it or sell access to it.
• Tell us straight away if you think someone else got into your account.
• What happens under your login is treated as done by you.

One person, one account. If you need several — a studio, a company, a team — email us and we will sort out something sensible.

Songs run on credits. One credit makes one song. You buy credits in a one-time pack — there is no subscription, no auto-renewal, and nothing to cancel later.

• Prices are in US dollars. Local taxes are added at checkout where they apply.
• Stripe takes the payment. We never see or store your card number.
• Credits do not expire. A credit bought today still works next year.
• We can change prices, but only with 30 days notice — and never for credits you already own.

Songs are digital and made to order, so the rules are simple and we would rather state them up front than bury them.

Unused credits

Refundable in full within 14 days of purchase. Just ask.

A song that failed

The credit goes back automatically. If it does not, email us and we put it back by hand — no argument.

A song you do not love

Tell us what missed and we will re-run it once, free. Taste is not a fault, but we would still rather you were happy.

A song we refused

If we decline a brief under section 7, the credit is returned in full.

A brief is personal by design, so you are the one responsible for what goes in it. By submitting one you are telling us:

• The story is yours to tell, or the person it is about would be glad you told it.
• You are not pasting in someone else’s copyrighted lyrics or writing.
• You are not handing over sensitive details about another person that you have no right to share.

You keep ownership of everything you type. You give us only the permission we need to read it, write from it, record from it, and store the result in your library.

Almost every brief is a birthday, a wedding, a thank-you. But the line has to be written down, so here it is. We will not make a song that:

• attacks or degrades people for who they are;
• harasses, threatens or intimidates a named person;
• sexualises a child, in any way, ever;
• encourages violence, self-harm or serious crime;
• impersonates a real person to deceive someone;
• states something false and damaging about a real person;
• breaks somebody else’s copyright.

We may refuse a brief that crosses these lines and return the credit. Repeated attempts end the account. This is not a judgement on you — it is the one rule that keeps the studio worth using.

The song we make for you is yours. Not licensed to you, not shared with us — yours.

• Play it, gift it, download it, keep it forever.
• Post it anywhere you like: social, a wedding screen, a slideshow, a podcast.
• Use it commercially. We take no cut and ask for no credit.
• We will not resell your song or sing it for someone else.

One thing worth knowing about how music generation works: no system can promise that a melody has never resembled another. If you plan to release a song commercially at scale, get it cleared the way you would clear any other track.

The website, the brand, the wordmark, the studio flow and the technology behind it stay ours. You are welcome to use them as a customer, and not to copy, resell, scrape or reverse-engineer them.

We will not use your song, your name or your brief in our own marketing unless you give us permission in writing. If we ever ask, you are free to say no and nothing changes.

• We do not promise the site is up every second. Maintenance happens, and so do outages at the companies we build on.
• We do not promise a particular artistic result. Music is taste, and generation varies between runs.
• We do not promise a delivery time. Two to five minutes is normal; a busy day can be slower.
• We may change or retire features as the studio improves. Songs already in your library stay playable and downloadable.

The service is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for anything connected with these terms is capped at the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the problem arose.

We are not liable for indirect losses — a missed party, a disappointed guest, lost profits, or a gift that did not land the way you hoped.

You can leave anytime. Close your account from your profile or email us. Download the songs you want first — closing the account deletes the library.

We can end it too, if an account breaks section 7, defrauds us, or is used to abuse someone. We will tell you why, and we will refund unused credits unless the reason was fraud.

These terms can change. Small edits go up with a new date. Anything that materially affects you gets 30 days notice by email first, and you can leave in that window if you disagree.

If we fall out, email us first — nearly everything is fixable that way. Beyond that, these terms are governed by the law of the country in which Story to Music is established, and unresolved disputes are settled by binding arbitration. Where your own consumer law gives you the right to use your local courts instead, that right stands and this clause does not touch it.

If one clause here turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. This version is dated 20 August 2026.
