By accessing or using DeTonic ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service. By using DeTonic you represent that you are at least 18 years old, or that you have parental consent and supervision if you are a minor.
DeTonic is an AI-powered music generation platform that produces original audio tracks ("Generated Tracks") based on user-supplied descriptions of mood, genre, tempo, and duration. Generated Tracks are synthesized programmatically and delivered as WAV audio files.
DeTonic uses AI models to compose musical briefs and node-based audio synthesis to produce the final audio. The Service is provided "as-is" with no guarantee of specific musical outcomes, style, or quality beyond commercially reasonable effort.
You own what you generate. Subject to these Terms, when you generate a track using DeTonic, you receive a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, and create derivative works from that Generated Track for both personal and commercial purposes (subject to the tier-based commercial rights in Section 7).
AI origin — copyright law notice: Under current United States Copyright Office guidance, works generated entirely by AI without sufficient human creative authorship are not eligible for copyright protection. This means you cannot register copyright on a Generated Track as your original authorship. You do, however, receive the commercial use rights described in these Terms, which allow you to use and profit from Generated Tracks. This legal landscape may evolve; we recommend consulting an attorney for high-stakes commercial scenarios.
DeTonic claims no copyright on Generated Tracks. We do not assert copyright ownership over output produced by our synthesis engine on your behalf. We will not pursue royalties or licensing fees for your downstream use of tracks you generate on the platform.
Non-exclusivity: Licenses granted under these Terms are non-exclusive. Because DeTonic's synthesis engine responds to mood and genre parameters, another user providing a similar prompt could receive a similar-sounding track. We do not guarantee exclusivity of any Generated Track.
Attribution (Free tier): Free tier users are requested to include "Made with DeTonic" in the credits or description when publishing Generated Tracks publicly. This is a courtesy request, not a legal requirement. Paid subscribers have no attribution requirement.
DeTonic's retained rights: We retain the right to use aggregated, anonymized generation data (prompts, parameters, synthesis outcomes) to improve the Service. We do not publish individual Generated Tracks without your consent.
If you add substantial human creative elements — lyrics you wrote, a melody you composed and recorded, or other original human expression — to a Generated Track, the human-authored portions may be separately copyrightable. The AI-generated underlying audio remains non-copyrightable. Consult a music attorney if this distinction matters for your use case.
DeTonic does not and cannot register copyright on Generated Tracks on your behalf. Any representation that a Generated Track is a human-authored copyrighted work is your sole responsibility.
DeTonic does not register Generated Tracks with any Content ID system, including YouTube Content ID, TikTok's audio matching system, or similar algorithmic fingerprinting databases operated by third-party platforms.
Our content filter actively screens prompts against 150+ artist style signatures to reduce the probability of similarity to existing copyrighted recordings. However, this does not guarantee immunity from all platform Content ID systems.
If you receive a Content ID claim on a Generated Track, you may file a counter-notification with the relevant platform on the basis that the track is an original AI composition, not a copy of any registered work. DeTonic will provide reasonable written confirmation of your use of our platform upon request to support such disputes.
DeTonic is not a party to disputes between you and third-party platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Meta, etc.) and has no obligation to intervene in or resolve Content ID claims.
You agree not to use DeTonic to:
DeTonic uses a content filter that screens prompts for copyright infringement attempts and prohibited content. Violations are logged and repeated violations result in account suspension or termination.
Your commercial use rights depend on your subscription tier at the time you generate a track. Tracks generated under a given tier retain the rights of that tier even if you later downgrade.
| Tier | Commercial Use | Watermark | Stem Export | White-Label | License Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | ✕ Personal use only | ✕ Watermarked | ✕ | ✕ | Personal, non-commercial |
| Creator | ✓ Commercial allowed | ✓ No watermark | ✕ | ✕ | Royalty-free, non-exclusive |
| Pro | ✓ Commercial allowed | ✓ No watermark | ✓ Full stems | ✕ | Royalty-free, non-exclusive + stem rights |
| Enterprise | ✓ Commercial allowed | ✓ No watermark | ✓ Full stems | ✓ White-label rights | Custom licensing terms available |
Free tier restriction: Tracks generated on the Free tier include an audible watermark and are licensed for personal, non-commercial use only. Publishing a watermarked Free-tier track in a commercial context (monetized content, paid advertising, client deliverables) violates these Terms.
Enterprise: White-label rights and custom licensing are available for Enterprise customers. Contact support@detonic.app to discuss Enterprise terms.
Generation limits per billing period are defined on our pricing page. Unused credits do not roll over.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Notify us immediately at support@detonic.app if you believe your account has been compromised.
Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis through Stripe. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial-period refunds are issued unless required by applicable law.
We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of new pricing.
DeTonic may suspend or terminate your account if:
Upon termination, your access to the Service ends. Generated Tracks already downloaded before termination remain yours under the license granted in Section 3. We are not obligated to retain or deliver tracks generated after termination notice.
You may appeal a termination by contacting support@detonic.app within 14 days.
Generated Tracks are stored for a limited period depending on your subscription tier:
Expired tracks are soft-deleted and removed from your account dashboard. If your subscription lapses, the retention period of your existing tracks defaults to the tier you were on when they were generated.
Pro users who flag a track as "Keep Forever" have no expiration — that track will not be auto-deleted regardless of subscription status.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DeTonic, its parent company Polsia, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
DeTonic provides Generated Tracks "as-is." You accept full responsibility for reviewing Generated Tracks before commercial use and for any downstream claims arising from that use. We recommend legal review for high-stakes commercial deployments.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
DeTonic does not warrant that Generated Tracks are free from all claims of copyright infringement. While our content filter makes commercially reasonable efforts to prevent infringement, you are responsible for reviewing Generated Tracks before commercial use. We recommend consulting legal counsel for high-stakes commercial deployments.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted service availability. We may pause, modify, or discontinue features with or without notice.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DETONIC AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, DATA LOSS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO DETONIC IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $50 USD.

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
