Splash Pro Terms of Use

1. Terms Of Use

1.1 These Terms Of Use set out the terms upon which you may access and use the Splash Pro app (“Splash Pro”). These Terms Of Use constitute a binding agreement between you and Popgun Labs Pty Ltd ABN 19 616 888 674 (“Popgun Labs”, “we”, “us”, “our”).

1.2 By accessing and/or using Splash Pro you agree to the terms of these Terms Of Use and our Privacy Policy. You should review these Terms Of Use and our Privacy Policy carefully and immediately cease using Splash Pro if you do not agree to them.

2. Intellectual property rights

2.1 We own or license from third parties all rights, title and interest including copyright, designs, patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights (“IP Rights”) in Splash Pro and in all of the material (including all text, graphics, logos, sound recordings, musical works and other copyright works) made available in Splash Pro (“Content”).

2.2 Splash Pro is an AI-powered song generator which lets users create instantaneous, original songs. Users can submit a text-based song prompt (“Song Prompt”) which will be input into Open AI’s GPT-4 algorithm (or another third party AI algorithm selected by us) to compose lyrics, and our proprietary AI vocal model to generate matching audio, which can be further refined by the user. Users may also submit their own lyrics (“User-Submitted Lyrics”). The final output is a sound recording of a song, which may or may not include vocals (“Recording”).

2.3 Users of Splash Pro may elect to have audio vocals created for their Recordings  in one of the following ways:

(a)     If you wish to use the “Voice Transfer” functionality in Splash Pro, you can provide samples of your own voice, or another person’s voice, or a non-vocal sound (for example, a “toothbrushing” sound), and Splash Pro will create vocals for your Recording in a voice that is designed to sound like that voice or that sound (a “Custom Voice”).  You can provide the voice or sound samples by uploading recordings to Splash Pro accordance with the instructions on Splash Pro (“Uploaded Recordings”);

(b)   If you choose not to use the “Voice Transfer” functionality in Splash Pro, then Splash Pro will create the vocals for the Recordings using a synthetic voice generated by Splash Pro, which can be selected by you from a list of available synthetic voices.

2.4 If you choose to use the “Voice Transfer” functionality:

(a) you must not supply Uploaded Recordings of the voice of a person other than you unless that person has granted you permission to record their voice and supply it to us for use in accordance with these Terms Of Use;

(b) you must not supply Uploaded Recordings in which the person whose voice is on the Uploaded Recordings is mimicking or impersonating the voice of any other person unless that other person has granted you permission to do so, and has granted permission for the relevant Uploaded Recordings to be supplied to us for use in accordance with these Terms Of Use; and

(c) you must not supply Uploaded Recordings unless you own the copyright in those recordings, or have secured all necessary permissions and licences from the owner of the copyright in them for them to be supplied to us for use in accordance with these Terms Of Use.

2.5 We may impose a limit on the number of Custom Voices that you may use within Splash Pro.  This limit may vary depending on whether you are subscribed to the Free, Starter, Max or Enterprise tier. The limits will be published to users on the Splash Pro platform, and may change from time to time.  

2.6 Splash Pro includes functionality which allows you to do the following with Recordings created by Splash Pro:

(a) download Recordings in .mp3 format;

(b) copy a link (url to clipboard) to a Recording;

(c) we may terminate your license to use the Recordings if you breach these Terms Of Use.

2.8 You grant us a royalty free, irrevocable licence to reproduce, communicate and otherwise use and exploit any Song Prompts or User-Submitted Lyrics submitted by you, to the extent required for us to operate Splash Pro and to provide the functionality referred to in clause 2.3.

You warrant that any User-Submitted Lyrics provided by you will not be defamatory, obscene or illegal and that they will not infringe the copyright or other rights of any third party.

2.10 You agree that we may store Recordings, and Song Prompts and User-Submitted Lyrics provided by you, indefinitely (but may delete them from our storage at any time in our discretion) and may use them for our internal purposes in connection with the development and improvement of Splash Pro and our other products and services.  You grant us a licence of all rights which are necessary for us to store and use any Song Prompts and User-Submitted Lyrics provided by you in accordance with this clause, and warrant that such storage and use will not infringe the infringe the copyright or other rights of any third party.
