Any reference in these Terms to "you" or "Customer" means you, the end user who accesses or uses the Services (as defined below) in an individual capacity; if you are an authorised representative of an Entity (as defined below), "you" or "Customer" refers to that Entity. "Party" means Seela or Customer (as applicable); "Parties" means Seela and Customer collectively.
By accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your place of residence or the jurisdiction in which you reside. If an end user is under 18, you, as the parent or legal guardian, consent to the end user's use of the Services and agree to be responsible to the same extent as the end user.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONSTITUTE A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THESE TERMS CONTAIN CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, AND DISPUTE-RESOLUTION PROVISIONS — DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND YOU WAIVE THE ABILITY TO BRING AN ACTION IN COURT, WHETHER INDIVIDUALLY OR AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION.

2. Services
2.1 Service Description
(a) Multimodal Generation Platform We provide a cloud-based, multimodal AI generation service covering text, images, video and audio. Users can access well-known products from multiple model providers within a single interface to create and process content.
(b) Model Aggregation and Selection The Services aggregate multiple third-party models and inference capabilities. Users may select available models and parameters from the published list. The list of available models is illustrative and not a guarantee; we may add, replace or deprecate models at any time for technical, compliance or commercial reasons.
(c) Typical Features by Modality (examples, not exhaustive) i. Text: text generation and rewriting, information extraction and summarisation, LLM output comparison/benchmarking; ii. Images: text-to-image, image-to-image/editing, image effect templates (style/material/composite) and image tools(background removal, upscaling, restoration, denoising, etc.); iii. Audio: speech synthesis/voice conversion, speech-to-text with timeline alignment, audio cleaning and enhancement; iv. Video: subtitles and script generation, shot breakdown and colourisation, regional replacement/masking, basic generation and enhancement.
2.2 Key Benefits
(a) New registrants receive complimentary trial Credits and can immediately try multimodal features (text, image, audio, video). During public holidays and specific marketing campaigns, Seela may grant additional time-limited Credits. Credits are deducted in real time; when exhausted you may upgrade your Plan to add value at any time.
(b) In addition to using models, we allow Users to create and publish their own customer-derived models (e.g., style-specific image templates, prompt-engineering presets). Where your publicly shared model is used by others, you may earn Credits in accordance with the rules published on the site.
2.3 Account Settings
(a) You must sign in to Seela using your email address (including Google sign-in) to use the Services.
(b) You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, including limiting access to your device(s) and/or account. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account and/or password, whether for our Services or third-party services. You must promptly notify us of any security breach or unauthorised use of your account.
(c) Without appropriate authorisation, you may not use the name of another person or Entity, any unlawful name or trade mark, or any name or mark subject to rights of any person or Entity other than you, as a username. You may not use any offensive, vulgar or obscene username; we reserve discretion to determine acceptability.
(d) Seela may suspend, terminate or otherwise refuse any Customer or Authorised User access to or use of all or any part of the Services, without liability, if: (a) Seela receives a court order, governmental request, subpoena or law-enforcement request that expressly or reasonably requires such action; or (b) Seela determines, in its sole discretion, that: (i) Customer has failed to comply with a material term of these Terms, is accessing or using the Services beyond the scope of rights granted, for an unauthorised purpose, or in a manner inconsistent with any documentation; or (ii) Customer is, has been, or is likely to be engaged in any fraudulent, misleading or unlawful activity relating to the Services. This Section 2.3 does not limit Seela's other rights or remedies at law, in equity or under these Terms.
2.4 Subscriptions
(a) The Website uses a Credits-based subscription model. Credits represent a prepaid metering unit for consumption within Seela only and do not confer any access or usage rights to upstream services. We offer three Plans: Free, Starter (paid) and Pro (paid). Pro Credits can be adjusted via an on-page slider. You may subscribe monthly or annually. Once active, subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle unless cancelled before renewal; placing a subscription order constitutes your authorisation for auto-renewal and charge to your designated payment method.
(b) For monthly subscriptions, the applicable Credits are allocated to your account at the start of each billing cycle; for annual subscriptions, the full year's Credits are allocated once upon activation. Credits obtained under monthly or annual Plans do not expire and may be used to pay for on-site feature consumption (per the Pricing/Rate Information).
(c) You may manage or change your subscription (including upgrades, partial downgrades, disabling auto-renewal) in your Account. Changes take effect in the next billing cycle. In addition to turning off auto-renewal yourself, you may email support@seela.ai to request cancellation; we will process and respond within 3–5 business days.
(d) Discounted pricing applies only to first-time payment, specific marketing campaigns or valid promo codes; scope and duration are as posted on the site.
2.5 No Guarantee of Benefits or Fees
We strive to deliver a great user experience, but we do not commit to retaining every model (or effect template) visible on the Website at any given time, nor do we guarantee any processing rate for any model. We may modify subscription fees for any part of the Services at our discretion. Any change to subscription fees takes effect at the end of the then-current billing cycle. Seela will provide reasonable advance notice of fee changes so you may cancel before they take effect. You may also access certain experimental features. All Services are subject to our disclaimers. Your continued use of the Services after fee changes take effect constitutes your agreement to the modified fees.
2.6 Third-Party Products
We may display information about, and enable use of, Third-Party Products within the Services. Seela provides only its own front-end and orchestration capabilities to end users; we do not sublicense, rent or resell any upstream third-party service or usage right. Users may not directly or indirectly access any upstream provider's API, account or credentials. You agree to use Third-Party Products at your own risk and subject to all disclaimers in these Terms. Please review the applicable model licences referenced on Seela pages, and comply fully with the licences governing any model you select through Seela. You acknowledge that the Services depend on, interoperate with, or otherwise leverage Third-Party Products not controlled by us, and their operation may affect the use and reliability of the Services or be affected by it. You acknowledge that (i) the use and availability of the Services depend on services provided by third-party providers; and (ii) such services may not operate with 100% reliability and may impact the Services. You are responsible for complying with all Third-Party Terms. Seela is not, and will not be deemed, a party to any such Third-Party Terms, which are solely between you and the applicable third-party provider.
2.7 Availability and Support
(a) During the Service Term, Seela will use reasonable efforts to maximise availability and provide support. You acknowledge that Seela continuously introduces new features and improvements, which may require maintenance windows and may occasionally cause technical issues or downtime. Seela may make any changes it deems necessary or useful to: (a) maintain or improve (i) the quality or delivery of the Services; (ii) the competitive strength or market position of the Services; or (iii) the cost-efficiency or performance of the Services; or (b) comply with Law.
(b) You acknowledge and agree that request handling and performance are subject to upstream third-party limitations, including dynamically adjusted queuing, maximum concurrency and rate limits, which may auto-adjust to load. At peak load or when upstream resources are constrained, your requests may be queued. If a request is not processed within the upstream maximum queue time, it may time out and return an error. We provide no guarantee or compensation for incomplete requests caused by third-party limitations, queuing or timeouts.
(c) You may contact us at support@seela.ai. Where you use any third-party channels, you must comply with the applicable terms of those providers.
2.8 Acceptable and Restricted Use
(a) You shall use the Services only as authorised under these Terms, in compliance with all applicable Laws and our policies (see Community Guidelines and Acceptable Use Policy). See the disclaimers in Section 7 for limitations on Seela's support of end-user use; you are fully responsible for your use of the Services, including any content that violates Law.
(b) Any breach of these Terms by you or your Representatives shall be deemed a breach by Customer.

We may send you operational notices related to the Services and, with your consent, marketing communications (email/in-product/SMS, etc.). You may opt out of marketing communications at any time via the unsubscribe link, your account settings, or by contacting support@seela.ai. Transactional/service messages (e.g., billing, important updates, incident and security alerts) are not subject to opt-out. We may use third-party providers to send such communications and retain necessary delivery records for compliance and audit. Unsubscribes take 3–5 business days to take effect; propagation across channels may be subject to reasonable delay.
3. Customer Responsibilities
3.1 Customer Control
You have exclusive control and responsibility to determine who is an Authorised User, what Fees you incur, and what Customer Data you submit as Inputs. You are responsible for the legality of all Inputs and for ensuring that Authorised Users comply with these Terms and all applicable Third-Party Terms. You must review and comply with such Third-Party Terms, including the applicable model licences referenced on Seela's "Models" pages and any Additional Terms.
3.2 Login Credentials
Customer shall promptly notify Seela of any known or suspected unauthorised use of Login Credentials. If any Authorised User suspects their Login Credentials have been or are likely to be compromised (including via phishing or other cyber threats), they must immediately change their password and notify Seela. Seela will generate new, unique Login Credentials and provide them to the Authorised User following notification to support@seela.ai.
4. Fees and Payment
4.1 Fees and Billing
(a) You are only required to pay Seela's service Fees. Pricing details are available on our Website (see "Seela Pricing"). You can view your current usage and manage billing settings in your account.
(b) To access certain features and benefits, Customers must provide an acceptable payment method, including without limitation credit card, debit card or bank transfer (each a "Payment Method"), and authorise us to charge Fees for your use of the Services, as further described herein and on the Website.
(c) Credits billing model i. You may select and purchase an appropriate subscription Plan to receive a corresponding allocation of Credits(quantities and prices as per your order and the posted Pricing/Rate Information). Consumption incurred during your use of the Services will be automatically deducted from your Credits balance according to the applicable metering rules and deduction coefficients. You can review your Credits balance, usage details and period summaries in Account → Billing; records may be subject to reasonable processing delays due to reconciliation and logging. ii. Upon completing your subscription purchase, you expressly consent to and authorise Seela to perform auto-renewal on the selected billing cycle (monthly/annual). Seela may, under such authorisation, automatically charge your designated Payment Method on each renewal date until you disable auto-renewal or cancel your subscription before the end of the then-current billing cycle via your account or by email. You are responsible for ensuring your Payment Method details are accurate and up to date, and that sufficient funds/limits are available. Seela is not responsible for service interruptions arising from failed auto-renewal or top-ups. iii. Credits issued under purchased Plans do not expire if unused. New Credits are granted on successful renewal. You are responsible for monitoring your Credits usage. Promotional or bonus Credits may carry separate validity periods, scope and caps as published in the campaign rules; any unused portion will automatically lapse at expiry and is excluded from refunds or settlements. iv. If your Credits are depleted, Seela may suspend all or part of your access to the Services until additional Credits are granted (via new purchase or platform bonus), without liability. v. Purchased Credits and subscriptions may be used only within the Seela environment to invoke and consume on-site features. You have no right to resell, sublicense or otherwise provide any third party with access to any upstream service (including its API, accounts, credentials or inference endpoints).
(d) Our billing practices may change from time to time. We will update the Website to reflect any such changes. For details on billing in relation to Models, please see the "Billing" page.
4.2 Taxes
All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer is responsible for all sales, use, excise, value-added and other taxes, duties and charges imposed by any governmental or regulatory authority on amounts payable to Seela, excluding taxes based on Seela's income.
4.3 Payment Processing
Your payments are processed by third parties (e.g., Stripe). We do not store your Payment Method information. Your use of such processing services is subject to the processor's terms (e.g., Stripe's terms).
4.4 No Set-off or Deductions
All amounts due to Seela shall be paid in full, without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction, debit or withholding for any reason whatsoever.
4.5 Cancellation and Refunds
(a) Once the current subscription billing period has commenced, you may submit a cancellation request in Account at any time; cancellation takes effect at the next renewal, and Fees for the then-current period are non-refundable. If no Credits consumption (including trials or automated workflow calls) occurs within 3–5 business days after payment, you may request a full refund by emailing support@seela.ai with your order number and account email. Upon verifying "zero usage" and compliance with these Terms, we will refund via the original payment route. Any Credits deduction or expiry of the above window renders the purchase non-refundable. Promotional/bonus Credits are excluded from refund amounts; where mandatory law requires otherwise, such law prevails.
(b) Upon receiving your complete refund request materials (including order number and account email), we will review and respond within 3–5 business days; refunds are initiated via the original payment route. Actual settlement timelines are determined by your card issuer/bank/third-party processor, and we cannot guarantee specific receipt time or assume liability for delays. To help us track progress, please retain your proof of payment and reply to support@seela.ai.
5. Intellectual Property and Ownership
5.1 Customer Data
As between Customer and Seela, Customer owns and shall continue to own all rights, title and interest in and to its applicable Customer Data, including all Intellectual Property Rights, and nothing in these Terms transfers any rights in Customer Data to any other person. Subject to the rights granted in Section 5.2 and to the extent necessary to implement the foregoing, Seela hereby grants to you all rights, title and interest in Outputs, including the right to use Outputs for commercial purposes (e.g., sale or publication), subject to any Third-Party Terms that may apply to such Outputs (as determined by the models used to generate them).
5.2 Consent to Use Customer Data
Upon your affirmative permission, you grant Seela a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-sublicensable (except as necessary to provide the Services), worldwide licence during the Term to use, copy, store, transmit, modify, process, display and create derivative works from your Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to deliver Outputs and generate Customer-Derived Models, and provide related Services under these Terms.
Unless you opt in via account settings, Seela will not use your Customer Data or Outputs for training or improvement of models; if you opt in, the licence in this Section applies for that purpose.
5.3 Seela Services
As between Customer and Seela, Seela and its licensors own and retain all rights, title and interest in and to (i) the Services and (ii) any Result Data, including all Intellectual Property Rights.
5.4 Feedback
Upon your affirmative permission, you assign to Seela all right, title and interest in and to any Feedback (feedback, comments, ideas and suggestions for improvement) provided by you or your Representatives. Seela may incorporate, use, commercialise and distribute such Feedback in any manner, including as part of the Services, without attribution, payment or other obligation to you.
5.5 Use of Result Data
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seela and its licensors may collect and analyse information relating to the provision, use and performance of the Services and related systems and technologies, including Customer Data in aggregated and anonymised form, and may (i) use such Result Data to improve and enhance the Services and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with the Services, and (ii) use such Result Data for any lawful purpose in accordance with Seela's Privacy Policy, during and after the Term.
5.6 DMCA / Copyright Policy
(a) Seela respects copyright Law and expects you to do the same. Our policy includes removing infringing content from the Services and, where appropriate, terminating repeat infringers' access. If you believe any content on the Services infringes a copyright you own or control, you may send a DMCA-compliant takedown notice to our copyright agent at support@seela.ai.
(b) For notice requirements, see 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3). Please note that if you knowingly misrepresent that any activity or material on our Services is infringing, you may be liable for costs and damages.
5.7 Public Submissions ("Inspiration Gallery")
If you choose to publish your work to Seela's public inspiration area (the "Inspiration Plaza"), you:
(a) acknowledge that the Output (e.g., image/video/audio preview or thumbnail) and the generation metadata necessary for one-click reuse (collectively, "Reuse Parameters", e.g., prompts, guidance values, seeds, model/version, control settings and—if you explicitly include them—reference assets) will be visible to other users on the Plaza;
(b) grant Seela a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to host, cache, reproduce, display, adapt, translate, and distribute your published Output and Reuse Parameters solely to operate, improve and promote the Inspiration Plaza and the Services; and
(c) grant all other users of the Services a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, platform-limited licence (the "Reuse Licence") to invoke your Reuse Parameters via one-click reuse within Seela to generate their own Outputs and to modify such parameters for that purpose. For clarity, the Reuse Licence is limited to use inside Seela and does not authorise downloading, commercial reselling, sublicensing or using your Reuse Parameters outside the Services.
Rights clearance and responsibility. You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary rights, licences and permissions to publish the Output and any Reuse Parameters, including any reference assets (e.g., images, audio, video) you deliberately include, and that such publication does not infringe any third-party rights (including copyright, trade mark, privacy or publicity). You are solely responsible for your Public Submission, and you agree that Seela is not the responsible party for any alleged infringement arising from it; your obligations under Section 9 (Indemnity) apply.
Removal and persistence. Publishing to the Plaza is opt-in and separate from private use. You may unpublish your Public Submission prospectively from public display. However, (i) reasonable backups, logs and prior shares/reuses already performed, (ii) prior licences granted to Seela and other users, and (iii) any derivative Outputs already created by others, will survive to the extent reasonably necessary to operate the Services and comply with Law. No compensation is due for Public Submissions, but you may receive credits as a reward.
Sensitive inputs. Do not include personal data, confidential information or third-party content for which you lack rights in your Reuse Parameters. Where technically feasible, Seela may redact or normalise unsafe or non-essential metadata before exposure on the Plaza.
6. Representations and Warranties
6.1 Representations and Warranties (Entity Customers)
Where Customer is an Entity, Customer represents and warrants that:
(a) it is duly organised, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation;
(b) it has full right, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations, and to grant the rights, licences, consents and authorisations it grants or is required to grant under these Terms, including on behalf of its affiliates (as applicable); and

Exceptions. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION AFFECTS ANY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
8. Suspension and Termination
8.1 Term
These Terms take effect on the earlier of (i) the date you first create an account to use the Services, or (ii) the date on which you otherwise accept these Terms through any applicable action related to the Website, and continue for as long as you use the Services, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Section 8.
8.2 Termination by Seela
Where permitted by Law, Seela may, in its sole discretion, immediately suspend or terminate any or all Services provided to you, without notice and without liability, if: (a) you breach any provision of these Terms; (b) Seela is required to do so by Law (for example, where providing the Services would be or becomes unlawful); or (c) providing the Services becomes commercially impracticable.
8.3 Termination by You
Subject to Section 8.5, these Terms cease to apply to you upon the earlier of termination or deletion of your Customer account; where Customer is an Entity, this refers to termination or deletion of each of its Authorised Users' accounts.
8.4 Effect of Termination
Upon any termination of the Services, your right to use the Services immediately ends. You may lose access to your account, and some or all information or files associated with or stored in your account may be deleted. Seela shall have no liability for any suspension or termination effected in accordance with these Terms.
8.5 Survival
Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination or expiry shall survive and remain in full force and effect until performed or until their nature-based expiry. This includes, without limitation, Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, 8.5, 9, 10 and 11, together with any other obligations that can reasonably be expected to apply after termination or expiry.
9. Indemnity
9.1 Indemnification
Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seela and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Seela Indemnitees") from and against any and all Losses arising out of or relating to any Claim resulting from Customer's use of the Services, including any Claim related to or arising from:
(a) Customer Data, including any Inputs, Outputs and processing of Customer Data by models; (b) any breach of Third-Party Terms; (c) any other materials or information provided by or on behalf of Customer (including any documents, data, specifications, software, content or technology); (d) facts alleged which, if true, would constitute a breach by Customer of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under these Terms; and (e) the negligence or more culpable conduct (including recklessness or wilful misconduct) of Customer, any Authorised User, or any third party acting on Customer's behalf, in connection with these Terms.
9.2 Indemnification Procedure
Customer shall promptly assume the defence of the applicable Claim and retain counsel of its own choosing at its own expense. Seela may, at its own cost, participate in and monitor the proceedings with counsel of its choice. Customer shall not settle any Claim in a manner that adversely affects the rights of any Seela Indemnitee without that party's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If Customer fails or refuses to assume the defence, the Seela Indemnitees may (but are not obliged to) defend the Claim themselves, including entering into a settlement after providing notice to Customer, on terms determined by the Seela Indemnitees in their sole discretion. Any failure by an indemnitee to comply with this Section 9.2 does not relieve Customer of its obligations under Section 9, except to the extent Customer can demonstrate it was materially prejudiced by such failure.
9.3 Mitigation
If any part of the Services is alleged to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any third party Intellectual Property Right, or if Seela believes the Services may be so alleged, or if Customer's use of the Services is enjoined or threatened with injunction, then Customer's sole remedy shall be to terminate its account and cease use of the Services.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL Seela OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE, UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT — INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE — STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THEIR SUBJECT MATTER, FOR:

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF Seela ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF: (A) THE TOTAL NET FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO Seela UNDER THESE TERMS IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (B) US $100 (OR LOCAL CURRENCY EQUIVALENT). THE FOREGOING APPLIES EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Subject to the limited review permitted under the FAA, the arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be enforced like any court order or judgment. (d) Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any arbitration or claim under these Terms may not be consolidated with any other arbitration or claim, including those involving any other current or former users of the Services, and no class arbitration shall be permitted.

The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute regarding the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of it is invalid or voidable.

Seela may modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised Terms on the Website. The revisions take effect on the first day of the month following initial posting. You are responsible for reviewing the Terms periodically. Your continued access to or use of the Services after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you are no longer authorised to use the Services after they take effect.
11.4 Waiver; Severability; Headings
No waiver by Seela of any breach of these Terms shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.

Customer may deliver any material notices to support@seela.ai.
