The short version. Pay your subscription, don't use Spaxle for anything illegal or cruel, and you own what you make. Credits are use-them-or-lose-them each month. AI output is yours as far as we're able to give it — but nobody can promise an AI image is copyrightable or that it doesn't resemble someone else's work, and we won't pretend otherwise. You're responsible for what you publish to your own accounts.
The agreement
These terms are between you and The McCoops LLC ("we", "us"), who operate Spaxle. By creating an account you're agreeing to them. If you're using Spaxle for a company, you're confirming you're allowed to agree on its behalf. You must be old enough to use the service — at least 16 in the UK/EEA, 13 elsewhere, and with a parent's permission if you're under 18.
Your account
You sign in with a link sent to your email, so your email inbox is your account. Keep it secure. Anything done through your account is your responsibility, and you should tell us straight away if you think someone else has got in.
Spaxle is currently in a closed beta. We may add, change or remove features while we find out what works. We'll try not to break things you rely on, and we'll tell you if we have to.
Subscriptions and payment
- Paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe, monthly, until you cancel.
- Cancel any time from Settings → Plan. Your plan keeps working until the end of the period you've already paid for, and then stops. We don't hold you to a term.
- Prices can change. We'll give you notice before a change hits your next renewal, and you can cancel if you don't like it.
- If a payment fails, we may suspend paid features until it's sorted out.
- You're responsible for any taxes that apply to you.
Refunds. If Spaxle is broken and we can't fix it for you, email us and we'll sort it out — we'd rather refund you than have you feel cheated. Beyond that we don't generally refund part-used months. If you're in the UK or EU you have statutory cancellation rights, and nothing here takes those away.
Credits
AI features cost credits, because every one of them costs us real money to run.
- Your plan includes a monthly allowance. It resets each billing period — unused plan credits don't roll over.
- Credits are not money. They have no cash value, they can't be transferred or sold, and they're not refundable except where the law says otherwise.
- When your account or workspace is deleted, unused credits are gone with it.
- If an AI request fails through our fault, we don't charge you for it. If a model returns something you simply don't like, that's a used credit — the work was done.
Every AI feature in Spaxle has a manual equivalent that costs nothing. You never have to spend a credit to use the product.
What you make is yours
You own your content — your designs, your photos, your words. We don't claim any ownership of it. You give us permission to store it, process it, show it back to you, send it to the providers listed in our privacy policy when you use a feature that needs them, and publish it to the accounts you connect when you tell us to. That permission exists only so the product can function, and it ends when you delete the content.
AI output: what we can and can't promise
As between you and us, anything the AI makes for you is yours. We claim no rights over it and won't use it for anything except giving it to you. But we have to be straight with you about the limits of that, because a lot of tools aren't:
- AI output may not be copyrightable. In the US, and probably elsewhere, purely machine-generated work generally can't be copyrighted — there's no human author. The more you shape and edit it, the stronger your position; a raw generation is the weakest case.
- AI output may not be unique. These models are probabilistic. Someone else with a similar prompt can get a strikingly similar result.
- AI output may resemble existing work. Nobody in this industry — including the model providers we use — warrants that output doesn't infringe someone's rights, and we can't give you a warranty we don't have ourselves.
- AI gets things wrong. It will confidently write a claim about your business that isn't true. Read what it wrote before you post it. You're the publisher, not us.
Practically: for a logo, a trademark, or anything you need to own outright and defend, don't rely on raw AI output. For a social post, you're almost certainly fine.
Stock photos, video and music
Spaxle lets you search other people's libraries. Those come with their own rules, and using our product doesn't exempt you from them. We've read them so you don't have to:
Pexels and Pixabay (photos and video)
Free for commercial use, no attribution needed. But:
- Don't sell them unchanged. Both licences forbid redistributing or selling the content as-is. Putting one in a design with your text and layout — which is what this product does — is a new work, and that's fine.
- Don't imply endorsement. A recognisable person or brand in a stock photo hasn't agreed to promote you.
- Don't show identifiable people in a bad light, or use the content for anything offensive, and don't use them as your logo or trademark.
Music
- The Spaxle library is music we generated with AI ourselves and picked by hand. You can use it freely in the content you make with Spaxle — commercial use included, no credit line needed. It isn't exclusive: other users can use the same tracks. And to be consistent with our own AI output section: because it's AI-generated, "free to use" is our promise that we will never come after you for using it, not a copyright we could enforce for you against anyone else.
- AI-generated music (the Generate option) is cleared for commercial use and needs no credit.
Music you upload yourself is your problem: make sure you have the rights. Putting a chart song under your Reel is not something we can license for you.
What you may not do
Don't use Spaxle to make or publish:
- Anything illegal, or anything that promotes illegal activity.
- Anything that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark or other rights.
- Impersonation — content passing itself off as another person, business or brand, or as an official communication it isn't. Don't use the AI to fake someone.
- Hateful, harassing, or violent content, or content that degrades people on the basis of who they are.
- Sexual content involving minors — ever, in any form, including generated. We report this.
- Deceptive content: fake reviews, fake endorsements, fabricated news, scams, phishing, or deepfakes of real people presented as real.
- Malware, or attempts to break, overload or reverse-engineer the service.
Also: don't resell Spaxle as your own product, don't scrape it, and don't use its output to train a competing model. If you break these rules we may remove content or close your account. For serious harm — especially anything involving children — we'll act immediately and involve the authorities.
Instagram, TikTok, and your own accounts
When you connect a social account, you remain responsible for what appears on it and for following that platform's rules. Instagram and TikTok each have their own terms and community guidelines, and they can restrict or remove your account regardless of anything we say here. Those platforms can also change or withdraw their APIs at any time — if that happens, publishing may stop working, and that's outside our control, though we'll obviously try to fix it.
Ending things
You: cancel from Settings, or email markmciver83@gmail.com to have your account deleted. Deletion is permanent — ask for a copy of your data first, because we can't get it back for you afterwards.
Us: we can suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if you don't pay, or if we're legally required to. Unless the reason is serious, we'll warn you and give you a chance to fix it — and a chance to export your work. If we ever shut Spaxle down, we'll give you reasonable notice and time to get your content out.
The service is provided as-is
We work hard to keep Spaxle running and correct, but we can't promise it will never be down, never lose a change, or always produce good results. To the extent the law allows, the service is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. It depends on third parties — AI providers, Stripe, Instagram, TikTok, our host — and they have outages too. Keep your own copies of anything you can't afford to lose.
Limits on what we owe you
Nothing here limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law doesn't let us limit — and if you're a consumer, your statutory rights are untouched. Beyond that, and to the fullest extent the law allows:
- We're not liable for indirect or consequential loss — lost profit, lost business, lost goodwill, or lost data beyond what we can restore from backups.
- Our total liability to you, for everything, is capped at what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or $100 if you're on a free plan).
We're a very small company charging a modest subscription, and that cap is the honest reflection of it. You agree to cover us if someone comes after us because of content you made or published through Spaxle.
Changes to these terms
We'll email you before any material change takes effect. If you don't agree with a change, cancel — continuing to use Spaxle after it takes effect means you accept it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in New Mexico have jurisdiction over any dispute. If you're a consumer, none of that takes away the protection of the mandatory laws of the place you actually live. Rights you have at home, you keep.
⚠ Still to be settled with a lawyer: the registered company address, our liability cap, and whether we require arbitration. We'd rather leave this visible than quietly write something we haven't had checked.
Odds and ends
If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. If we don't enforce something straight away, we haven't given up the right to. You can't transfer this agreement to someone else; we can, if the business is sold, and we'd tell you. Questions: markmciver83@gmail.com.
