Terms of service.

Please read these terms carefully. By using Melody Lane, you agree to them. They include a binding arbitration clause and a class-action waiver, which affect how disputes are resolved.

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding contract between you and Korsica Brands LLC, doing business as Melody Lane ("Korsica Brands," "Melody Lane," "we," or "us"), governing your access to and use of giftmelodylane.com and our song-creation services (collectively, the "Service"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and able to enter into a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements.

3. The Service

We use AI to write and produce custom songs based on the story and details you provide. You acknowledge and agree that:

Songs are produced by automated systems. While we work hard to deliver songs that move people, we do not warrant that any particular emotional outcome, quality, style, or commercial result will be achieved.
You are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the information you submit (recipient name, story, etc.).
We may use anonymized, non-identifying inputs to improve the Service.

4. Pricing & payment

Single song:a one-time purchase. The price shown at checkout is what you’ll pay; promotional pricing may apply from time to time. Payment is charged when you place the order.
Add-ons (rush delivery, printable lyric art, photo slideshow video) are one-time purchases charged with the song at checkout.
All prices are in U.S. dollars, exclusive of any applicable taxes, which you are responsible for.
You authorize us (and our payment processor, Stripe) to charge your payment method for all amounts due. If a payment fails, we may suspend the Service until the issue is resolved.

5. Refunds

Refund requests are governed by our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

6. Ownership and license

Your story content: you retain ownership of the story details you submit. By submitting them, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, process, and store them solely for the purpose of generating and delivering your song.
The song we deliver: upon full payment and delivery, we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use the song for personal, non-commercial purposes (playing for friends and family, sharing privately, using at private events). You may NOT (a) sell, license, or commercially distribute the song; (b) use it in advertising, branded content, or monetized media (e.g., monetized YouTube/TikTok); or (c) claim authorship. Commercial licenses are available — contact us.
Underlying tools: the Service, our website, brand, and any underlying software remain our exclusive property.

7. Acceptable use

You agree NOT to submit content or use the Service in any way that:

Includes the name, likeness, or identifying details of a real person without their consent.
Is defamatory, harassing, threatening, hateful, sexually explicit, or encourages violence or self-harm.
Infringes any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
Promotes illegal activity or violates any law.
Attempts to reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the operation of the Service.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse, modify, or remove any order that violates these rules, and to suspend or terminate accounts at any time, with or without notice.

8. AI-generated content disclaimer

You understand and agree that the Service uses generative AI. AI output can contain errors, unexpected results, or content that does not match your expectations. We make no guarantees about the specific words, melody, voice, or quality of any delivered song. You accept the inherent variability of AI-generated work.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KORSICA BRANDS LLC AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THIS LIMIT APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER).

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Korsica Brands LLC and its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any third-party right (including IP, privacy, or publicity rights) by content you submitted, or (d) any song or portion of a song that you used in a way prohibited by Section 6.

12. Dispute resolution — binding arbitration

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, California (or, at your election, by phone or video). Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver: you and Korsica Brands LLC each agree that any arbitration or proceeding will be limited to the dispute between us individually. Neither of us may bring or participate in a class, collective, or representative action.

Small-claims exception: either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court instead of arbitration if the dispute qualifies.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections 7 (Ownership), 10 (Disclaimers), 11 (Limitation of Liability), 12 (Indemnification), 13 (Dispute Resolution), and 14 (Governing Law) survive termination.

15. Modifications

We may modify these Terms from time to time. The updated version takes effect when posted, with the "Effective" date at the top of this page reflecting the revision. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

16. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement: these Terms and the documents they reference are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
Severability: if any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in full force.
No waiver: our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment: you may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may freely assign them.
