Terms of Use

Effective September 18, 2026 · Version 2026-09-18 (updated October 10, 2026) · Creating In AI LLC d/b/a AI Artists' Media

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Creating In AI LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company doing business as AI Artists' Media (“AIAM,” “we,” “us”). They govern your use of aiartists.media and every related service, feature and communication we provide (together, the “Service”).

Please read Sections 17 to 21 carefully. They disclaim warranties, limit our liability, and set where and how disputes are resolved.

1. Agreement to these Terms

By creating an account, submitting an application, posting a brief, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. It is not part of these Terms, but we follow it, and we keep it current as described in it.

If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm that you are authorized to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.

2. Who can use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract.
You must not be barred from using the Service under the laws of the United States or your country of residence, including U.S. sanctions laws (see Section 24).
The information you give us must be accurate, and you must keep it up to date. One account per person; accounts are personal and cannot be transferred.

3. What AIAM is, and isn’t

AIAM operates a curated marketplace where buyers post creative briefs and AI artists present their work; a production studio that commissions and delivers work; and, for Signed Artists only, an artist-management service under a separate written agreement.

Applying isn’t a contract

Submitting an application does not make you a represented artist or create any obligation on either side beyond these Terms. Representation, commission rates and usage terms are set out in a separate agreement offered if and when you are approved.

No guarantees

We do not guarantee that you will be approved, listed, matched, booked or paid any particular amount, or that any brief will become a paid engagement. Artists are independent professionals and not employees of AIAM.

Not an employment or talent agency

AIAM is not an employment agency and is not a licensed talent agency. In any jurisdiction that requires a license to procure engagements for artists, AIAM does so only where it commissions the work itself as a principal, or through a properly licensed agency partner.

4. Separate agreements

Some relationships are governed by a separate signed agreement: the Artist Management Agreement (Signed Artists), the Roster Listing and Booking Agreement (Roster artists), an Engagement Deal Memo for each paid engagement, and any NDA. If one of those conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls for its subject matter. These Terms cover everything else, including your use of the website and your account.

Studio productions

When AIAM itself produces work for a client (a “Studio Engagement”), two standard agreements apply, each accepted on the Service for each engagement:

Artists accept the Studio Engagement Terms with each Assignment. They form the artist’s Engagement Deal Memo for that engagement.
Clients accept the Client Studio Agreement with each project’s Project Order, in their client portal or by a signed order.

An electronic acceptance of either is a signature for every purpose, including a transfer of rights, and we record the version accepted, when, and a fingerprint of what was shown.

5. Fees and payments

You never pay AIAM a fee

Applying is free, a Roster listing is free, and there is no membership, retainer, subscription or listing fee at any tier. On work AIAM books for you, it is paid by commission at the rate in your signed agreement, and nothing else. On a Studio Engagement it takes no commission from you at all: the client pays AIAM, and its compensation is its margin as producer. We will never ask you to buy a product, course, workshop or photography package from us or anyone else as a condition of being listed, represented, pitched or matched, and AIAM bears its own costs of pitching and promoting you.

Signed Artists and Roster artists

Roster is a free listing. It is not representation: we owe you no pitching and no services, you owe us no exclusivity, and you can leave at any time. You pay commission only on engagements we book for you directly.

Signed Artists are actively represented under an Artist Management Agreement, with a lower commission rate, a Featured Listing, first look at briefs in their lane, and real services. Being signed is at AIAM’s discretion. It cannot be bought, and choosing it on the application form is an expression of interest, not a selection.

Studio Engagements: how artists are paid

On a Studio Engagement, AIAM pays each artist the fee on their Assignment within 30 days after they complete their work, whether or not the client has paid. If AIAM keeps ownership of the work and licenses it again, half the net profit is shared equally among the artists who made it. The Studio Engagement Terms set out the details.

Buyers and payment processing

Clients of AIAM’s studio pay as set out in their Project Order under the Client Studio Agreement. Buyers who book an artist through AIAM pay as set out in the applicable Engagement Deal Memo. When payments are processed through the Service, they are handled by our payment processor (Stripe) under its own terms; we do not receive or store full card or bank account numbers. Each party is responsible for its own taxes.

6. Artist Made AI, Not AI Made Art™

This is Creating In AI’s founding value, and it is a condition of using the Service as an artist, not a slogan: everything you submit and everything you deliver through AI Artists' Media must be made with your own hand on the wheel. AI is the tool; you are the artist. We do not represent unattended-generation output. When you apply, you confirm that:

You own, or have permission to show, everything in your portfolio.
Any real person’s likeness in your work was used with their clearance.
You will disclose AI involvement in delivered work rather than pass it off as unaided or captured footage.

An application or profile that misrepresents any of these can be rejected or removed.

7. Your content

You keep ownership

Your portfolio, reels, profile text, images, briefs, messages and files (“Your Content”) remain yours, or your licensors’. These Terms do not transfer ownership of anything to us.

Commissioned work

Ownership of commissioned work is governed by the agreement for that engagement, never by these Terms. On a Studio Engagement, each artist licenses their work to Creating In AI LLC from delivery and assigns it to Creating In AI LLC once they have been paid their full fee (Studio Engagement Terms). AIAM then licenses the work to the client, or, on a Full Buyout, assigns ownership to the client once the client has paid in full and every artist has been paid (Client Studio Agreement). Artists always keep their own tools, models and earlier material, and their name, likeness and voice. On any other engagement, ownership is set by its Engagement Deal Memo, and when AIAM acts as an artist’s manager it never takes ownership of their work.

The license you give us

You grant AIAM a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format (for example, create thumbnails or transcode video), display and distribute Your Content only to operate the Service, to show your published profile to visitors and buyers, and to promote you and the Service, including on our social channels. The license lasts while Your Content is on the Service, plus up to 30 days after you remove it or close your account to take it down from anywhere we used it, except where it appears in a work already delivered or published with your approval.

What that license never includes

Nothing in these Terms gives AIAM the right to create a digital replica of you, to create a synthetic performance using your likeness or voice, or to use your work, your models or a captured performance as training data for any AI system. That always requires separate written consent, given specifically, for stated uses and a stated period, and is never implied by applying, by being listed, or by working on a production. We also reserve, on behalf of our artists, all rights of text and data mining in the content on the Service, including under Article 4(3) of EU Directive 2019/790.

Your promises about Your Content

You confirm that you have every right, license, consent and release needed to share Your Content and to grant the license above, and that Your Content, and our use of it as permitted by these Terms, will not infringe or violate anyone’s copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights, or break any law.

Briefs

If you post a brief, you confirm you have the right to share it. Once approved, a brief is shown to artists on the roster so they can respond. Your contact name, email and company website are withheld from artists. Do not include confidential material unless you have asked for an NDA.

Feedback

If you send us suggestions about the Service, we may use them without obligation to you.

8. AI content, likeness and digital replicas

Consent for real people. You may not upload, generate or deliver content that uses a real person’s name, image, likeness, voice or other identifying characteristics without their valid consent (or, for a deceased person, the consent of whoever holds those rights), and you must comply with the right-of-publicity and digital-replica laws that apply to you, such as California Labor Code §927 and Civil Code §3344.1, New York’s right-of-publicity and digital-replica laws, and Tennessee’s ELVIS Act.
Never permitted. Non-consensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated or altered intimate imagery; sexual content involving minors, which we report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children; and synthetic depictions of real people designed to deceive viewers into believing they are authentic.
Labeling. You must meet any legal obligation to disclose or label AI-generated or AI-manipulated content that applies to you, including under Article 50 of the EU AI Act where it applies, and any disclosure required by the agreement for the engagement or the platform where the work is published.
Copyright in AI-generated material. In the United States and elsewhere, material generated by AI without sufficient human authorship may not be protected by copyright. AIAM does not represent that any work, deliverable or element of one is or will be protectable. The only rights and warranties given for a deliverable are those stated in the agreement for that engagement: the Client Studio Agreement and its Project Order for a studio production, or the Engagement Deal Memo.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

break any law, or help anyone else break one;
infringe or misappropriate anyone’s intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights;
harass, threaten, defame or discriminate against anyone;
impersonate anyone, or misrepresent your identity, credentials, or the role AI played in your work;
submit a false or misleading application, profile or brief;
scrape, crawl or bulk-download the Service, or use any content from it to train, fine-tune or evaluate an AI model, without our written permission;
probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Service, bypass its security or access controls, or access another person’s account;
upload malware, or interfere with or overload the Service;
send spam or unsolicited commercial messages through the Service; or
use the Service to collect other users’ personal information for your own purposes.

10. Content moderation and reporting

We review content and conduct against Sections 6 to 9 and the law. Moderation decisions are made by people, not by automated tools. If content or conduct breaks these rules, we may remove or disable the content, unpublish a profile, withhold a brief, or suspend or terminate an account, choosing a response proportionate to the problem.

When we restrict your content or account, we will tell you what we did and why, including the facts and the rule or law involved, unless the law prohibits it or it would put someone at risk. You can ask us to reconsider by replying within six months; a person will review it and tell you the outcome.

To report infringing, non-consensual or otherwise unlawful content, follow the steps on our Copyright & Takedowns page. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Our single point of contact for users and for authorities, including under the EU Digital Services Act, is legal@aiartists.media, in English.

11. Accounts and security

You are responsible for keeping your password and security answers confidential, and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us immediately at support@aiartists.media if you think your account has been compromised. Sessions expire after 12 hours, and an account can be signed in on at most three devices at once. We may require additional verification before changing sign-in or payment details.

12. The AI terminal

The terminal on our home page is an automated AI assistant, not a person. Its answers are general information only. They may be incomplete or wrong, they are not legal, financial, tax or professional advice, and they are not an offer or a promise by AIAM. Only a signed agreement binds us. Do not enter personal or confidential information: questions are processed by third-party AI providers, as described in our Privacy Policy.

13. Third-party services

The Service links to, embeds or relies on services we do not control, such as video hosts, payment processing and AI tools. Your use of them is governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.

14. Our intellectual property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, software and the AI Artists' Media and AIAM names and logos, belongs to Creating In AI LLC or its licensors. Subject to these Terms, we give you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use the Service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute or create derivative works from it except as the Service expressly allows.

Trademarks

The following are trademarks of Creating In AI LLC, whether registered or not: AI Artists’ Media™, AI Artist Media™, AIAM™, Creating In AI™, The AI Pie Recipe™, Artist Made AI, Not AI Made Art™, AI Pie, Not AI Slop™, AI Pi, Not AI Slop™, We make AI Pie, Not AI Slop™, We make PI, Not Slop™, We make Pie, Not Slop™, We make AI Pi, Not AI Slop™, We don’t sell prompts. We represent artists who can deliver.™. Nothing in these Terms, and nothing about your use of the Service, gives you a licence or any other right to use them. You may name us accurately when referring to the Service; you may not use our marks or logos in a way that suggests we endorse, sponsor or are affiliated with you, or as part of your own name, mark, domain or product.

15. Electronic communications

You agree to receive notices, agreements and other communications from us electronically, by email or through the Service, and that they satisfy any legal requirement for a written communication, under the U.S. E-SIGN Act and equivalent laws. Account, security and engagement emails are part of the Service. We will only send you marketing emails if you have agreed to receive them, and every one will include a way to unsubscribe.

16. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service at any time, and can close your account by emailing support@aiartists.media. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if continuing would expose AIAM or others to legal risk or harm; where reasonable we will give notice and an explanation first. Closing an account does not end obligations under a signed agreement, which ends only as that agreement provides. Sections 7 (as to licenses already exercised), 8, and 17 to 24 survive termination.

17. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, AIAM disclaims all warranties, express, implied or statutory, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

AIAM does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free; that any artist, buyer, brief, profile or other user content is accurate, lawful or of any particular quality; that you will obtain any engagement, booking or income; or that any output of an AI tool, including the AI terminal, is accurate, complete or fit for any purpose, or is protectable by copyright.

18. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AIAM and its members, managers, employees, contractors and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill or data, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, however caused and on any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AIAM’s total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100) and (b) the fees and commissions you paid to AIAM, or that AIAM retained from payments due to you, in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

This Section does not reduce any amount AIAM owes you under a signed Artist Agreement, an Engagement Deal Memo, the Studio Engagement Terms or the Client Studio Agreement, including an artist’s fee or re-licensing share; those amounts, and liability for the engagement itself, are governed by that agreement.

19. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Creating In AI LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors and agents from any third-party claim, and the resulting losses, liabilities, damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising from (a) Your Content; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or of anyone’s rights, including intellectual-property, privacy and publicity rights; or (d) your dealings with other users. We may take control of the defense of any such claim, and you will cooperate with us.

20. Disputes with other users

Except where AIAM is itself a party to a signed agreement with you, disputes over an engagement are between you and the other user. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release AIAM from claims arising out of such disputes, other than claims arising from AIAM’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” You waive any similar law of any other jurisdiction.

21. Governing law and disputes

Talk to us first

Before starting a claim, email a description of the dispute to legal@aiartists.media. Both sides will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days. This does not apply to small-claims actions or to requests for urgent injunctive relief.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Where disputes are heard

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be heard exclusively in the state courts located in Richland County, South Carolina, or the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Columbia Division, and you and AIAM consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in a small-claims court with jurisdiction, and either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and AIAM each waive any right to a trial by jury in any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

A signed agreement’s own dispute-resolution clause (for example, referral of a dispute to the California Labor Commissioner under an Artist Management Agreement) controls for disputes under that agreement.

22. Rights by location

Consumers in the EU, EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Most people who use the Service act as businesses: artists offering professional services, and buyers commissioning work. If you instead use it as a consumer (outside your trade, business, craft or profession) and live in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, then, despite anything else in these Terms: you keep every right that the mandatory law of your country gives you; you may bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live; AIAM is liable without limitation for intent, gross negligence, and injury to life, body or health; and for slight negligence AIAM is liable only for breach of an obligation essential to the proper performance of these Terms, limited to the damage typically foreseeable when you accepted them. Your indemnity under Section 19 applies only to claims caused by your own culpable breach.

United States

Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages, and some, including New Jersey, limit how these provisions apply to consumers. Where that is the case, Sections 17 to 20 apply to you only to the extent permitted by the law of your state, and every other provision continues to apply.

California residents

Under California Civil Code §1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

23. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For a material change we will give at least 30 days’ notice by email or on the Service before it takes effect, except for changes required by law or that relate only to new features, which take effect when posted. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept it; we may also ask you to accept updated Terms before continuing to use your account. A change never applies to a dispute already notified under Section 21. The version and effective date are shown at the top of this page.

24. General terms

Entire agreement. These Terms and any signed agreement described in Section 4 are the entire agreement between you and AIAM about the Service. Our Privacy Policy, which we follow, is a separate notice.
Severability and waiver. If a provision is found unenforceable, it is enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest remains in effect. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or to a successor in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
Sanctions and export. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions and are not on any U.S. government list of restricted parties.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship. There are no third-party beneficiaries.
Notices. We send notices to the email on your account. Send legal notices to us at legal@aiartists.media and to the registered address below.
Interpretation. “Including” means “including without limitation.” Headings are for convenience. If these Terms are translated, the English version controls.
