Terms of Service
Effective: 2026-05-09
Version: 1.0 (Wave 4 Ciclo 7 — Spriteoven)
Operator: Fer Gonzalez Llanos, persona física, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA), República Argentina.
Spriteoven is operated as a personal project by an individual, not a
corporation. By using Spriteoven you agree to the terms below. If you
do not agree, do not use the service.
1. Acceptance
By signing up, signing in, or otherwise using Spriteoven (the
"Service"), you ("you", "user") accept these Terms of Service (the
"Terms") and the companion Privacy Policy (/docs/privacy). The
Terms are a binding agreement between you and Fer Gonzalez Llanos,
persona física, CABA, Argentina (the "Operator", "we", "us").
If you use Spriteoven on behalf of another person or organization, you
represent that you are authorized to bind them. Even so, the Operator
contracts only with the individual who created the account.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.
2. The Service
Spriteoven is a web tool that helps you generate, edit, and export
pixel-art sprite sheets using third-party AI providers (Google Gemini /
Imagen, OpenAI gpt-image-2, xAI Grok Imagine, and others added over
time). The free tier is provided at the Operator's discretion and may
change scope, quotas, or availability at any time.
The Service is provided as a personal project by a single
individual. There is no SLA, no support contract, and no guarantee of
uptime, response time, or feature stability.
2.1 Pre-launch status
Spriteoven is currently in pre-launch / beta status. Features,
providers, output formats, and pricing tiers may change without
notice. Data retention is best-effort during this phase.
Production-grade SLA commitments will be introduced in future versions
of these Terms when the Service exits beta.
3. Your account
- Keep your sign-in credentials confidential. You are responsible for
activity on your account, including activity by anyone with whom you
share access.
- We may suspend or close your account if we believe in good faith that
you have violated these Terms or that the account is being used to
abuse, harm, or defraud other users or the Operator.
4. Billing and credits
Premium AI providers are unlocked via Spriteoven credits, not by
attaching your own API key. The Operator holds the relationship with
each provider and bills you a flat price per credit:
- Founder Pack — USD 19 / 300 credits (one-time).
- Starter Pack — USD 5 / 75 credits (one-time).
- Top-ups — USD 5 / USD 15 / USD 50.
- Free tier — 8 GPT Image 2 wow-gens at signup + unlimited NB2
(Gemini) while the upstream provider is healthy.
Each successful paid generation decrements one credit. Failed jobs are
refunded automatically. Credits do not expire and are not transferable
between accounts.
ℹ️ Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) was retired 2026-05-19. The historical
policy lives at docs/archive/byok-disclaimer.md for reference.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to use Spriteoven to:
- Generate, distribute, or attempt to launder content that infringes
any third party's copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or other
intellectual-property right. This includes prompts that attempt to
reproduce, imitate, or mimic copyrighted character designs you do
not own or license.
- Generate sexual or sexualized depictions of minors (real or
fictional) under any circumstance.
- Generate non-consensual sexual imagery of real, identifiable people.
- Generate content that incites violence, harassment, or hate against
individuals or protected groups.
- Generate malicious code, malware, or material designed to facilitate
fraud, phishing, or abuse of computer systems.
- Generate disinformation depicting real people, public figures, or
events in ways designed to mislead.
- Bypass, circumvent, or attack the rate limits, RLS policies, credit
gating, or any other security control of the Service.
- Use the Service in violation of any applicable law in Argentina, in
your country of residence, or in any jurisdiction your generations
are intended to reach.
- Use automated agents, scrapers, or scripts to generate content at a
rate that materially burdens the Service's infrastructure beyond
normal interactive use, except via the documented batch API
(
/api/sprite-lab/batch) and within its documented rate limits.
We may remove generations, suspend accounts, and report illegal content
to the relevant authority without prior notice when we have a good-faith
belief that this clause has been violated.
6. Ownership of generations
To the extent permitted by the AI provider you used:
- Inputs you provide (prompts, reference images, configuration)
remain yours. By submitting them you grant the Operator a non-exclusive
license to process them through the AI provider you selected and
return the result to you.
- Outputs (generated sprites) are yours to use under the terms of
the provider you used. Note that AI providers usually grant broad
reuse rights to the user but disclaim any warranty that the
output is non-infringing or original.
- You are responsible for verifying that your inputs and your use
of the outputs do not infringe the rights of third parties.
The Operator does not add your prompts, reference images, or
generated assets to any training corpus.
Spriteoven recommends that you review the terms of the AI provider you
used for any generation you intend to deploy commercially, as
provider-specific commercial-use restrictions may apply.
7. Service changes, suspension, termination
- The Operator may add, modify, or remove features, providers, output
formats, quotas, or pricing tiers at any time.
- The Operator may suspend or terminate the Service or your access to
it for any reason, including (but not limited to) violation of these
Terms, abuse, fraud, security risk, or sustained inability to keep
the Service running on a personal-project budget.
- You may close your account at any time from the account settings.
Closing the account triggers deletion of your data per the Privacy
Policy.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BY AN INDIVIDUAL
RUNNING IT AS A PERSONAL PROJECT, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
TITLE, ACCURACY, OR RESULTS OBTAINED FROM USE.
The Operator makes no warranty that:
- The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
- The output of any AI provider will be accurate, original,
non-infringing, or fit for any specific use.
- Any data stored in the Service will be preserved indefinitely (you
are responsible for downloading and backing up your assets).
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Argentine law:
- The Operator's total cumulative liability to you, for any and all
claims arising out of or relating to the Service, is capped at the
greater of (a) USD 100 or (b) the amounts you paid the Operator
directly in the 12 months preceding the claim (which is USD 0
for free-tier users).
- The Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special,
consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not
limited to lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or business
interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
- The Operator is not liable for the content of any generation
produced by an AI provider, including content you produced via your
own prompts.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability; in
those jurisdictions the Operator's liability is limited to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator from any
claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees)
arising out of (a) your inputs, prompts, or generations, (b) your
violation of these Terms or any applicable law, or (c) your violation
of a third-party right, including any AI provider's terms or any
intellectual-property right.
11. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the República Argentina,
without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out
of or relating to these Terms or to the Service shall be submitted to
the Tribunales Nacionales en lo Comercial de la Ciudad Autónoma de
Buenos Aires (Commercial National Tribunals of CABA), with the
parties expressly waiving any other forum.
If you are a consumer protected by mandatory rules of your country of
residence, those mandatory rules apply notwithstanding this clause.
12. Changes to these Terms
If we make material changes we will publish an updated version at this
URL and bump the version number. Continued use after the effective
date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree
to the updated Terms, close your account.
13. Miscellaneous
- Severability: if any clause is held unenforceable, the rest of
the Terms remain in effect.
- No waiver: failure to enforce a clause is not a waiver.
- No assignment by you: you may not assign these Terms without the
Operator's written consent. The Operator may assign to a successor
in interest if Spriteoven is ever transferred (e.g., to a future
legal entity).
- Entire agreement: these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy,
are the entire agreement between you and the Operator regarding the
Service.
