Terms of Service

The Replica Studios service (“the Service”) is owned and operated by Replica Media Pty Ltd (ABN 99 626 601 625).
The Service is accessible from online locations including the websites at www.replicastudios.com and www.replica.app, and also via one or more APIs provided by us (the “Replica APIs”). By accessing and/or using the Service you agree to these Terms of Use, which include our Privacy Policy (Terms). You should review our Privacy Policy and these Terms carefully and immediately cease using the Service if you do not agree to these Terms. These Terms of Use form an agreement between you and us (the “Agreement”).

In these Terms, ‘Replica Media’, 'us', 'we' and 'our' means Replica Media Pty Ltd and our related bodies corporate.

These Terms may be amended by Replica Media from time to time. Replica Media will use reasonable efforts to ensure that any changes to these Terms are made available to you not less than 24 hours prior to taking effect. Your continued use of the Service following the date such amended terms take effect will be deemed to be acceptance of any amended Terms.

1. About the Service

1.1 The Service is a voice, sound and image synthesis service using AI technology, which operates in a variety of ways including text-to-speech, voice-to-voice, code-to-voice prompt to sound and other prompt to output functions. Users can choose from existing audio and visual libraries or use various generation functions to create their own synthesised content. Users can also create a clone of their own voice by recording a small dataset with a consent phrase for use.

1.2 The Service offers multiple machine learning models: Classic (our standard model), Vox-1 (our newest model which offers higher quality synthesised audio files), and potentially further models as developed and through licensed third party providers.

2. Using the Service

2.1 To use the Service you must choose to upload speech or text you wish to convert to voice format via the functionality on the Service, input the prompt to the desired feature, download the desired audio or image files made available or follow the voice cloning process. You must only upload speech or text in respect of which you hold all necessary rights, and not any material, the use of which would infringe the rights of any third party. You must not use the Service to convert any content that:

(a) is unlawful, criminal, defamatory, harmful, libellous, contemptuous, obscene, pornographic, hateful, indecent or racially, culturally or ethnically or otherwise objectionable;

(b) violates or infringes the rights (including rights of privacy, publicity, copyrights, trade mark rights and contract rights) of any other person or party or infringes any law;

(c) promotes, incites or instructs in criminal activity or violence, or in conduct that may give rise to civil liability;

(d) advocates the doing of a terrorist act;

(e) contains gratuitous, exploitative or offensive descriptions of violence, or which provides explicit or graphic descriptions of sexual acts or fetishes;

(f) contains or promotes information that you know is false, misleading or deceptive;

(g) is for the purpose of advertising any illegal services or the sale of any items which are prohibited or restricted by any law; or

(h) constitutes or promotes copyright infringement;  

“Objectionable Content”.

2.2 The Service will create files (Synthesized Content) of the speech or text you wish to convert using a synthetic voice or image generated by the Service.

a)  The synthesized audio can be created by a voice selected by you from a list of available synthetic voices (“Public Voices”).

b) If you use the “Voice Cloning” functionality on the Service, you can provide samples of your own voice, and the Service will create Synthesized Audio in a voice that is designed to sound like that voice. You can provide the voice samples by recording them into the Service’s web browser, in accordance with the instructions on the Service (“Browser Recordings”)

2.3 If you choose to use the “Voice Cloning” functionality, you must only supply recordings of the voice of a person other than you if that person has granted you permission to record their voice and supply it to us for use in accordance with these Terms Of Use. All cloned voices must record the unique consent phrase as a Browser Recording as instructed in the cloning process to verify permission.

2.4 The service will create audio or image files from prompts entered by the user within the available non-voice features, such as sound effects or other features as available.

3. Grant of Rights

Details of what credits may be used for as part of each Plan are published within the Service.

7.4 Unused Credits within a billing cycle (monthly or yearly) will not expire and will remain available to the User for the duration of their active Subscription Plan. The maximum number of Credits that may be accrued is limited to the equivalent of three (3) months of the User's active Subscription Plan value. Upon termination of the User's Subscription Plan, all accrued Credits will immediately expire and be forfeited.

7.5 If you subscribe to a Plan, then at the start of each monthly or yearly billing cycle you will be automatically debited with the monthly or yearly fee for that Plan and you will be credited with the relevant number of monthly or yearly credits for that Plan.  Your first billing cycle will commence on the date you join the Plan, and the billing cycles will continue on a rolling monthly or yearly basis after that.

7.6 If in any given month or year, you use all your credit prior to the end of the month or year, then you will not be permitted to continue using the Service for the remainder of that month or year unless you have chosen to purchase "top up" credits.  Details of how to purchase “top up” credits, and the price for them, will be published on the Service. The price for “top up” credits may change from time to time.

7.7 If you wish to cancel your monthly or yearly Plan, you must give us notice at least 24 hours before the commencement of the next monthly or yearly billing cycle.  If you give us such notice, your plan will terminate at the end of the then-current billing cycle and you will not be charged any further monthly or yearly fees. You will not be entitled to a refund for any unused credits and any voice clones will also be removed.  

7.8 If your subscription to a Plan terminates, you will no longer be able to access Synthesized Audio, metadata or other content related to your use of the Service (“Your Content”) unless you re-subscribe to that Plan, or subscribe to another Plan, within 30 days after your subscription ends, in which case you will be able to access Your Content via your new subscription. After such 30 day period you may not be able to access Your Content even if you re-subscribe to your former Plan or subscribe to a different Plan.  

7.9 If you choose to upgrade to a more expensive Plan, your subscription to the new Plan will begin on the date you elect to do so, and you will be immediately entitled to the extra credits and features which apply to your new Plan. Your pre-existing balance of credits will be preserved.

7.10 If you choose to downgrade to a less expensive Plan, your subscription to the new Plan will begin upon expiry of the then-current monthly or yearly billing cycle for your current Plan.  Upon commencement of your new Plan, you will become entitled to the credits and features for that new Plan, however any unused credits from your prior Plan, and any unused “top up” credits you have purchased, will not be preserved and will be forfeited.  

7.11 We may in our discretion discontinue any of our monthly or yearly Plans at any time. If we do this in respect of the plan that you are on, we will notify you and we will inform you of the date your Plan will terminate (which will be at the end of a monthly or yearly billing cycle). After that, you will no longer be charged monthly or yearly fees, and you will no longer be entitled to use the Service, unless you select another Plan from the Plans we have on offer.
