  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Subscription Plans & Credits

4.1 Credit-Based Billing

The Service uses a credit-based billing system. Video generation consumes credits based on the complexity and resources used. You can view cost estimates before generating and track usage in your dashboard.

4.2 Subscription Plans

We offer monthly and yearly subscription plans through Stripe. Each plan includes a monthly credit allocation, team member limits, and feature access tiers. Plan details and current pricing are available on the Pricing page.

4.3 Credit Packs

Additional credits may be purchased as one-time credit packs. Credit pack purchases are non-refundable and credits do not expire.

4.4 Auto-Refill

If enabled, your account will automatically purchase additional credits when your balance falls below a configured threshold. You can enable, disable, or configure auto-refill at any time from your billing settings.

4.5 Plan Changes & Cancellation

You may upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated charges. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are provided for unused portions of a billing period.

4.6 Past Due & Suspension

If payment fails, we will attempt to collect for a reasonable period. If payment remains outstanding, we may suspend your access until the balance is resolved.

5. User Content & Inputs

5.1 Ownership of Your Inputs

You retain ownership of all content you provide to the Service, including text prompts, uploaded images, videos, and audio files.

5.2 License to Us

By uploading content or providing prompts, you grant Adwave a limited, non-exclusive license to process that content solely for the purpose of delivering the Service. This license terminates when your content is deleted from our systems.

5.3 Your Responsibilities

You represent and warrant that:

  • You have the legal right to provide all content you upload or submit
  • Your content does not infringe any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights
  • When providing URLs for analysis, you have the right to access and use the content at those URLs
  • You will not upload content depicting real individuals without their consent

You are solely responsible for all content you provide to the Service and all content you generate using the Service. Adwave does not review, approve, or endorse user-provided or AI-generated content.

5.4 Retention

Uploaded files are retained for 7 days and then automatically deleted. You are responsible for exporting any content you wish to keep before the retention period expires.

6. AI-Generated Content & Output

6.1 Third-Party AI Services

Wavemaker does not develop, train, or operate its own AI models. The Service orchestrates third-party AI services (including but not limited to image generation, video generation, voice synthesis, music generation, and language models) to produce video content on your behalf. The specific providers and models used may change at any time.

6.2 No Ownership by Adwave

Adwave does not claim ownership of content generated by the Service on your behalf. Subject to these Terms and any applicable third-party provider terms, you may use generated content for any lawful purpose.

6.3 No Guarantees of Generated Content

We make no representations or warranties regarding AI-generated content. Specifically:

  • Not guaranteed unique. Similar prompts may produce similar output for different users.
  • Not guaranteed non-infringing. AI models may produce content that inadvertently resembles existing copyrighted works, trademarks, or the likeness of real individuals. The underlying AI models, not Adwave, are responsible for the patterns and outputs they produce.
  • Not guaranteed accurate. AI models may produce factual errors, hallucinations, or biases.
  • Not guaranteed suitable. Generated content may not meet your specific requirements or expectations.

6.4 Your Responsibility for Generated Content

You are solely responsible for reviewing, evaluating, and determining the suitability of all AI-generated content before publishing, distributing, or using it. This includes verifying that generated content:

  • Does not infringe third-party copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights
  • Does not violate any person’s right of publicity or privacy
  • Does not contain defamatory, misleading, or harmful material
  • Complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction

Adwave is not liable for any claims, damages, or legal actions arising from your use of AI-generated content.

6.5 Third-Party AI Provider Terms

The AI providers whose services we use have their own terms of service, acceptable use policies, and content policies. Content generation is subject to these upstream policies, which may restrict certain types of output. Wavemaker may refuse to generate or deliver content that violates these policies.

6.6 Content Moderation

We rely on moderation policies enforced by our upstream AI providers. Wavemaker and its AI providers may refuse to generate content that is violent, sexually explicit, promotes illegal activity, or otherwise violates applicable policies.

7. Copyright & DMCA

Adwave respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same.

7.2 DMCA Compliance

We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that content available through the Service infringes your copyright, please see our DMCA & Copyright Policy for instructions on submitting a takedown notice.

7.3 Repeat Infringer Policy

We will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers in appropriate circumstances, in accordance with the DMCA.

7.4 Counter-Notification

If you believe content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notification as described in our DMCA & Copyright Policy.
