Terms of Service

Sushi + French Fries — Terms of Service (v3.0)

Effective Date: January 5, 2026

Licensor / Service Provider: Sushi + French Fries, a trade name of Beacon Street Technologies, LLC (“S+FF,” “we,” “us,” “our”)

Support: support@sushiandfrenchfries.com

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Sushi + French Fries platform, website, apps, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Services”), including any music ideas generated via the platform (“Generated Content”), and any custom, human-recorded music commissioned through S+FF (“Custom Content”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.

1) Key Definitions (Plain English)

• “Generated Content” = music ideas, demos, sketches, stems, loops, or drafts created via the platform.
• “Custom Content” = human-performed and/or recorded music created by or for S+FF, including re-recorded versions of Generated Content.
• “Input” = data you submit to the Services (text prompts, reference files, briefs, creative notes, etc.).
• “Output” = content produced by the Services based on your Input (including Generated Content). • “Customer Content” = your Input + your Output (as between you and S+FF).
• “Production” = your project containing our music (video, ad, podcast, social post, etc.).
• “Subscription License” = rights you get to use Generated Content while subscribed.
• “Commercial License” = rights you get to use Custom Content for professional campaign / paid media / broadcast uses.

2) The Two-Lane Model (How This Works)

S+FF operates as a hybrid platform:
A. Subscription Lane (Generated Content): You can use Generated Content under a subscription for creator/social/editorial use.
B. Commercial Lane (Custom Content): If you want broadcast, paid campaign, agency usage, exclusivity, or a human re-record, you need a Commercial License (and pay applicable fees).

3) Accounts, Authorized Users, and Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, ensuring only Authorized Users (your employees/contractors) use your account, and all activity under your account.

4) Subscription License (Generated Content)

While your subscription is active, S+FF grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use Generated Content in: social media content (organic), YouTube videos, websites you control, internal corporate content, client presentations, editorial content, and other uses explicitly listed on your plan page.

4.1 Perpetual Clearance for Published Works

If you publish a Production containing Generated Content during an active subscription, you may keep that Production live forever (perpetual clearance), even if you later cancel.

4.2 Safelisting / Channel Registration

To prevent or resolve automated copyright claims, you may be required to safelist channels/accounts.

4.3 Subscription Restrictions (Important)

The Subscription License does not cover: broadcast TV, OTT/VOD, cinema, radio; paid advertising/paid social (unless your plan explicitly includes paid); agency or client usage (unless explicitly permitted); standalone music distribution (Spotify/Apple/etc.); releasing your Production’s soundtrack as a music product; stem extraction (beyond what we provide); AI training/dataset creation; or music-first products (libraries, sample packs, apps where music is the product). If you need these rights, you must purchase a Commercial License.

5) Upgrades: From Generated → Custom
You may request that S+FF upgrade Generated Content into Custom Content by commissioning

re-recording, rewrites, vocals, session musicians, mixing/mastering, alternate cutdowns, and stems. Once upgraded, the Custom Content is governed solely by the Commercial License terms and any signed term sheet.

6) Commercial License (Custom Content)

When you pay for Custom Content under a term sheet/order form, S+FF grants a Commercial License limited to the media, term (default: 6 months unless otherwise agreed), territory (default: worldwide unless otherwise agreed), and specific track(s) covered.

6.1 After Term Expiration

When a commercial term ends, you must stop running the campaign unless renewed.

6.2 Exclusivity (Optional)

Exclusivity is optional, category-limited, must be defined in writing, and is subject to additional fees.

7) Ownership: What You Own vs What We Own

7.1 You Own Your Input. You retain rights to Input you submit.
7.2 You Own Your Output (with licensing limits). As between you and S+FF, you own rights in Output but your usage is limited by these Terms.
7.3 We Own the Platform + Models + Library. S+FF owns the Services, platform software, models, tools, algorithms, and all non-customer underlying content and IP.
7.4 Output May Not Be Unique. Similar results may be produced for other users.

8) Your Responsibilities (Consent + Rights)

You represent and warrant that you have the rights to any Input you provide (including any voice, likeness, or third-party materials) and that your use of the Services complies with all laws and these Terms.

9) Prohibited Uses (Applies to Everyone)

You may not: reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract models, source code, or underlying logic; use Outputs to train competing AI models; use S+FF music as standalone music releases; resell or sublicense music; scrape or mass-download the catalog; enable end users to extract music; use the Services for illegal, hateful, or defamatory content; use content in political advertising without written consent; or create unlawful explicit content.

10) No PHI / Sensitive Personal Data

You may not submit protected health information (PHI) or sensitive personal data categories unless we have a specific written agreement that permits it.

11) Suspension (Security + Abuse + Nonpayment)

We may suspend or limit access if required by law, you materially breach these Terms, we reasonably believe your use creates a security or legal risk, or you fail to pay amounts due. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice and a cure period where feasible.

12) Usage Data

We may collect and use anonymized and aggregated usage data to operate and improve the Services, detect abuse, and support billing, performance, and reliability.

13) AI Training / Model Use

We do not use your Customer Content (Input or Output) to train AI/ML models without a written agreement. We may process Customer Content solely as necessary to provide the Services, prevent abuse, enforce these Terms, and comply with law.

14) Beta Services

We may offer beta/preview features for evaluation only, “as is,” which may be discontinued at any time and are not recommended for production use.

15) Fees, Billing, and Late Payment

Subscription fees are billed per your plan. Commercial fees are billed per term sheet/order form. Invoices are due within 30 days unless otherwise specified. Late payments may result in suspension or termination. You are responsible for taxes (excluding our income taxes).

16) Union / Guild Obligations (Commercial Lane)

If your commercial campaign requires union compliance (AFM, SAG-AFTRA, etc.), you (or your agency/client) are responsible for applicable reuse and union fees unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

17) Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the other’s Confidential Information with reasonable care, use it only for purposes of working with the Services and/or potential business relationship, and disclose it only to personnel who need to know and are bound by confidentiality.

18) IP Infringement Claims and Indemnity

18.1 Our Indemnity. We will defend and indemnify you against third-party claims that the Services (or S+FF-owned content) infringe third-party IP rights, excluding claims arising from your Input, your modifications, your combination with third-party materials, or misuse.
18.2 Your Indemnity. You will defend and indemnify us against claims arising from your Input, your Productions (except for our music), misuse, violation of law, union obligations, or use outside permitted terms.

19) Warranties and Disclaimers

We warrant that the Services will materially function as described in our documentation during the term. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED, THE SERVICES AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” We do not warrant that Output will be error-free, unique, or uninterrupted.

20) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages; each party’s aggregate liability is capped at fees paid in the 12 months preceding the claim; except for gross negligence, willful misconduct, IP misuse, or indemnity obligations.

21) Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

We agree to attempt informal resolution first (30 days). If unresolved, disputes may be resolved by binding arbitration except for disputes involving IP ownership or injunctive relief.

22) Publicity

Neither party may use the other’s name or logo in marketing without written consent.

23) Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign to an affiliate or successor in connection with merger/acquisition.

24) Governing Law (Hybrid Approach)

Subscription / Generated Content disputes: Montana law, Park County courts. Commercial / Custom Content disputes: California law, Los Angeles County courts.

25) Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. If changes are material, we will provide notice by updating this page and/or via email or product notice.
