Terms of Service

Version 2026-05-01. Please read these terms carefully before using Milk&Ink Studio.

Effective May 1, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Milk&Ink Studio web application and related services (the “Service”), operated by Milk&Ink Studio (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction, to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at security@milkink.studio if you suspect unauthorized access.

2. Subscriptions and billing

Paid plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. Billing is handled by our payment processor (Stripe). Prices are shown in USD unless otherwise stated. You authorize recurring charges until you cancel.

  • Trial:The Free tier serves as the trial — no card required, no time limit on the Free tier itself. Paid tiers (Pro, Production, Studio) do not include a separate paid-tier trial period; they begin billing immediately on purchase.
  • Cancellation: You may cancel at any time from your workspace billing settings. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not refund the current period; access continues to the end of the period you have already paid for.
  • Refunds: Once 12 hours have passed since your purchase, oryou have used the Service in any way after the purchase, the purchase is final and non-refundable, except where required by applicable law. “Use” includes (without limitation) submitting a generation, training a LoRA, creating or editing canon, uploading reference content, inviting collaborators, or invoking any API endpoint that consumes provider, storage, or compute resources on your behalf. The full refund mechanics, chargeback rules, and statutory carve-outs are described in our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms.
  • Included usage and spend limits:Each plan includes a monthly allotment of drafts, finals, and LoRA trainings denominated in “quota units” that scale with the cost of the model you choose (premium models like Veo 3 consume more units per render than baseline models like Wan 2.1). Beyond the included allotment, your plan also covers an additional buffer of generation capacity (the “spend cap,” shown on the pricing page) at no extra charge. Once that combined limit is reached for the month, generation pauses until the next renewal or until you upgrade your tier — we do not bill for usage above the spend cap, and the unused portion does not roll over.

3. Your content and training license

Ownership.You retain all rights to the content you upload to the Service — reference images, canon definitions, scripts, generated outputs, and approved release packages (“Your Content”). Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Your Content to us. The animated series, shots, and release packages you produce on Milk&Ink Studio are yours to ship, distribute, and monetize.

Operational license. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, display, transmit, and otherwise handle Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you and your collaborators (including running AI generations, syncing review state, and delivering release packages).

Training license.By creating an account on a self-serve plan (Free, Pro, Production, or Studio), you additionally grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use Your Content — including reference images, canon definitions, scripts, prompts, generated outputs, approval / rejection decisions, continuity scores, and metadata derived from any of the above — to train, fine-tune, evaluate, and improve the AI systems we operate or contract with. This license survives deletion of Your Content from our active systems where Your Content has already been incorporated into a trained model (model weights cannot practically be reversed; future training runs will exclude deleted content). The Privacy Policy describes this in more detail.

Enterprise carve-out. Workspaces on the Enterprise plan are contractually exempt from the training license. Their content is never added to a training corpus, never used to fine-tune a model, and never shared with a provider for training purposes. If you require a training-data carve-out for your project, contact sales@milkink.studio.

Output ownership and warranty. Generated outputs produced from Your Content belong to you. AI-generated content may incidentally resemble third-party works; you are responsible for clearing any necessary rights for commercial use. We do not warrant that generated outputs are free from third-party rights claims.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Violate any law or infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
  • Generate content depicting real people without their consent, or minors in sexual or abusive contexts;
  • Generate content that is defamatory, harassing, or incites violence;
  • Circumvent the Service's authentication, rate limits, or access controls;
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or access the Service to build a competing product;
  • Send spam, malware, or otherwise interfere with the operation of the Service.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, with or without notice, at our sole discretion.

5. Third-party AI providers

The Service integrates with third-party generation providers. When you submit a generation request, your prompt and any reference images are transmitted to the selected provider and are subject to that provider's terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the outputs produced by third-party providers.

6. Availability and changes

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will notify paying customers of material changes that adversely affect service.

7. Warranty disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT AI-GENERATED OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, APPROPRIATE, OR FIT FOR YOUR INTENDED USE.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any third-party claim arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles. Venue for any non-arbitrable dispute lies exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Marion County, Indiana, and you and we each consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the Service at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
