Terms of Service

These terms set out the conditions, procedures, rights, obligations, and responsibilities for using the AI-powered carousel generation service operated by CarouselMaker.

• Member: A user who has accepted these terms and completed sign-up.
• Content: Any text, image, or other material a Member submits or uploads.
• AI Output: Text, image, or carousel material generated automatically by the AI in response to a Member's request.
• Beta Period: The pre-launch validation phase. Some features and policies may change at official launch.

These terms take effect when posted in the Service. The operator may amend them within the limits of applicable law.

Material changes are announced in-product at least 7 days before the effective date (30 days for changes that disadvantage Members). Members who do not agree may terminate their account.

You may sign up via email or social login (Google, Kakao). This service is available to users aged 14 and over.

Please keep your account information accurate and your password secure. You are responsible for any misuse of your account credentials.

The operator provides the following features.

• AI-powered carousel text and image generation
• Template library and editor
• Image search (Pexels) and a curated asset pool
• PNG, JPG, and PDF downloads
• Watermark removal, extra credits, and other paid-plan features

The operator may add, modify, or discontinue features after reasonable notice in order to improve the Service.

You retain ownership of the prompts, images, and other inputs you submit (the "Inputs"). The operator does not use Inputs for any purpose other than providing the Service to you.

AI generation is performed via the Anthropic Claude API. Per Anthropic policy, your Inputs and Outputs are not used to train models and are automatically deleted within 30 days. The operator passes that policy through to you.

AI Outputs are produced statistically and are not warranted as accurate, lawful, non-infringing, or suitable for legal, medical, or financial advice. You are responsible for reviewing Outputs before publishing or distributing them.

Generated carousels generally belong to the Member who created them. Note that other Members using similar prompts may produce similar outputs.

You retain ownership of the Content you upload to the Service. The operator only uses your Content to the extent necessary to operate, back up, and technically process the Service. This license ends when you delete the Content or terminate your account.

You warrant that you have the right to upload the Content. You are solely responsible for any disputes arising from infringing third-party copyrights, likeness rights, or trademarks.

The following activities are prohibited.

• Generating or publishing content that violates law or public order
• Infringing third-party copyrights, likeness rights, or trademarks
• Creating child sexual exploitation material or content that incites violence, hate, or discrimination
• Using the Service for misinformation, fraud, or unlawful advertising
• Attempting to bypass AI safety controls or system safeguards
• Using automated tools to place abnormal load on the Service
• Hijacking other Members' accounts or abusing the payment system

If a Member violates these terms or applicable law, the operator may suspend or permanently terminate the account after notice. In urgent cases the operator may act immediately and notify the Member afterward.

You may close your account at any time via settings or email. On withdrawal, personal data is deleted immediately, except where retention is required by law.

Paid plans are billed through Polar (Polar Software, Inc.) after official launch. Polar acts as the Merchant of Record, handling payment, tax (VAT), and refunds. No paid billing occurs during the beta period.

Refunds follow the separate Refund Policy. If you haven't used your AI credits you may receive a refund; a billing cycle in which credits were used isn't refundable. Refunds are requested by email to the operator.

The operator is not liable for damages caused by force majeure, network failures, third-party API outages, or Member fault.

During the beta period, the operator addresses data loss or feature changes with reasonable diligence and bears liability within the limits set by Korean law on standardized contracts. Liability for damages caused by intent or gross negligence is not limited by this clause.

Marketing or promotional emails are only sent to Members who have given separate consent. You may withdraw consent at any time via email or your account settings, and doing so does not affect Service usage.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. Disputes are submitted to the court of competent jurisdiction under the Korean Civil Procedure Act in the first instance.

For Members residing in the EU/EEA, the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence may take precedence over these terms. Payments, refunds, and disputes are handled through Polar, our Merchant of Record (the seller of record).

These terms take effect on May 6, 2026.
