Sprite Forge ("we", "the service") lets you generate, edit, and export pixel-art assets (sprites, tilesets, animations) using AI models we call on your behalf. You need an account and, to generate assets, a positive credit balance.
Accounts are managed through our authentication provider (Clerk). You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activity under your account.
Generations are metered in credits, purchased in fixed packs via Polar (polar.sh), who acts as merchant of record and authorized reseller for all purchases: Polar collects and remits applicable VAT/sales tax, handles your payment details, and administers refunds and disputes under its own buyer terms. A generation is billed once the AI model has produced a response; a technical failure on our end (the request errors out, times out, or fails before any response ever reaches you) is refunded automatically. Stopping a generation yourself once it has started is billed for the work already done, not refunded — the underlying token or image cost is real and already spent the moment the model starts producing output, whether you let it finish or stop it partway through. This also does not extend to a response that the model declines to draw, gets wrong, or that otherwise doesn't parse as sprite data — the underlying token cost is real and already spent regardless of what the output looks like, the same as if the request had produced the sprite you wanted. Credits are non-refundable for cash once purchased, except where required by law or under Polar's buyer terms — this doesn't limit any non-waivable consumer rights you have under your local law. If you're an EU/EEA or UK consumer: credits are digital content supplied other than on a tangible medium, and each generation begins consuming your credit balance immediately once you submit it. By purchasing credits and starting a generation, you expressly request immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose your statutory 14-day right of withdrawal once performance begins, consistent with the digital-content exception to that right — this consent is what lets us deliver generations instantly instead of holding your request for 14 days.
You own the assets you generate and export. We store your projects (grid data, palettes, metadata) to sync your gallery across devices; we do not claim ownership of your generated art or resell it. Because generations are produced by third-party AI models, we can't guarantee a given output is free of third-party rights — you're responsible for how you use generated assets, including making sure you have the right to request a given subject (see Acceptable use, below).
Don't use the service to generate content that infringes third-party rights, is illegal, or violates the underlying AI providers' usage policies. We don't pre-filter or block requests for copyrighted or trademarked characters, brands, or other third-party IP — like any user-directed creative tool, what the AI model does with such a request (draws it, declines it, or produces something else) is between you and that request, and you bear responsibility for how you use the result. Some models will decline recognizably-branded subjects outright; that's a normal generation outcome, billed like any other (see Credits & payment above), not a service malfunction. The generation endpoint exists to produce pixel-art assets from your prompts and reference images — don't use it as a general-purpose chat/LLM proxy, to extract or probe the underlying models, or to attempt prompt injection against the service. Don't use your account, or storage quota (see Storage & content management below), as general-purpose cloud storage or compute unrelated to generating pixel-art assets; don't resell access to the service or automate bulk account creation to multiply free allowances; don't run automated scraping or bulk-extraction against the service beyond your own account's normal use. We may suspend or terminate any account, at our sole discretion, with or without cause and without prior notice, for suspected abuse of the service, misuse of the generation endpoint as described above, attempts to circumvent metering or storage quotas, or any other violation of this Acceptable Use section — termination for a bad-faith or Acceptable-Use violation does not entitle you to a refund of any remaining credit balance. This doesn't affect good-faith refunds for our own failures under Credits & payment above. If you believe generated content infringes your copyright or trademark, contact legal@pixelstudio.example with a description of the work and the material you believe infringes it; we'll review and remove exported/stored copies where warranted.
Storage capacity is limited and scales with your account's lifetime purchase history (see in-app quota readout). We may delete, limit, or refuse to store content at our discretion — including content from inactive accounts, accounts over their storage quota, or accounts we reasonably suspect of abusing the service — without liability to you for the deleted content, though we'll always try to give you a chance to export first where practical. This right exists to keep storage abuse (e.g. using free-tier accounts as unlimited cloud storage) from degrading the service for everyone; we don't intend to exercise it against normal, good-faith use of the product.
You can request account deletion at any time; we export your gallery data as a downloadable bundle before deleting your account and associated data.
If something's wrong with a charge, contact support@pixelstudio.example first — we resolve good-faith billing issues directly and quickly, including refunds under the Credits & payment terms above. Filing a card-network dispute or chargeback for a charge that was correctly billed and as-described (i.e. you got the credits or the generation you paid for), instead of using this support path, is a breach of these terms: we may terminate your account without refund of any remaining balance, refuse future service to you, and seek to recover any costs or fees (including Polar's or the card network's dispute fees) directly attributable to an unwarranted dispute, to the extent permitted by law. Our billing descriptor and this support contact are provided so a charge on your statement is always identifiable and disputable through us first.
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Output comes from third-party AI models and can be imperfect, inaccurate, unavailable, or occasionally fail to match your prompt; we don't guarantee any specific result, quality level, uptime, or accuracy from a generation. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the service is capped at the amount you paid us in the 3 months preceding the claim, and we're not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the service, your violation of these terms, or content you generate or submit that infringes a third party's rights or violates applicable law. Nothing in this section limits any liability that can't be limited under applicable law (e.g. certain non-waivable consumer protections).
We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected here with an updated date, and continued use of the service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Governing law and venue: to be finalized based on the operator's registered jurisdiction — placeholder pending owner/legal input, see the go-public runbook. This doesn't override any mandatory consumer-protection law of your home country that otherwise applies (e.g. EU/UK consumer venue rules).
