Terms of Service

Last updated: May 1, 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Piko Apps LLC, doing business as Piko Club ("Piko Club", "we", "us"), and govern your access to and use of the Piko Club service available at piko.club (the "Service"). By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance & eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use the Service. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company, studio, or other organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers both to you and to that organization.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction where you live and work. We may refuse service or terminate accounts at our discretion, in particular if a jurisdiction is subject to embargoes or sanctions that prevent us from providing the Service.

2. Definitions

For convenience, capitalized terms used in these Terms have the following meanings:

  • Account — your registered Piko Club account.
  • Authorized User — a person you invite to your projects (employee, contractor, collaborator) who accesses the Service through their own account.
  • Content — any data you upload to or generate through the Service, including images, video, audio, prompts, project files, canvases, comments, and metadata.
  • Input — prompts, references, or other Content you submit to a generation node.
  • Output — the new images, videos, audio, or other media a third-party AI model returns based on your Input.
  • Platform Credits — the prepaid usage units granted with your subscription that are consumed when you run paid generation nodes through our pooled provider accounts.
  • BYOK — "Bring Your Own Key": connecting your own third-party API key (Google AI, Kling, OpenAI, Reve, Topaz, Seedance, Sync.so, etc.) so generations are billed directly by that provider instead of consuming Platform Credits.
  • Service — the Piko Club website, web application, APIs, and all related software and documentation.
  • Subscription — the paid or free plan that governs your monthly credit allowance, storage quota, and seats.

3. Your account

Registration

You can create an Account using a supported authentication method (currently email + one-time code, or single sign-on with Google). You agree to provide accurate and current information and to keep it up to date. You may not impersonate another person or use an account that is not yours.

Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Account, including your sign-in credentials, email inbox, and any device where you stay signed in. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access. You are liable for all activity that occurs under your Account until you have notified us and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act.

Authorized Users

If your plan supports collaboration, you may invite Authorized Users to your projects. Each Authorized User must accept these Terms through their own Account. You are responsible for your Authorized Users' compliance with these Terms and for any acts or omissions on their part as if they were your own.

4. The Service

Piko Club is a real-time, multiplayer node-based canvas for image, video, and audio production. The Service lets you compose visual pipelines, run AI generation models from multiple providers, perform local image operations (color correction, masking, compositing, on-device AI maps such as depth and segmentation), organize work in projects, and collaborate with teammates on the same canvas.

We continuously improve the Service. We may add, remove, deprecate, or modify features, available models, pricing, and limits. Where a change materially affects paid functionality you depend on, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you in advance.

5. Plans, credits & billing

Plans

Pricing, credit allowances, storage quotas, and included seats for each plan (Free, Solo, Pro, Studio) are described at piko.club/subscribe and are part of these Terms by reference. We may change pricing or plan contents prospectively; existing subscriptions stay at their current price until the next renewal, unless we notify you of a different effective date at least 30 days in advance.

Platform Credits

Paid subscriptions include a recurring monthly Platform Credit allowance that resets at the start of each billing cycle. Platform Credits are consumed when you run paid generation nodes through our pooled provider accounts. The credit cost of each generation is shown on the node before you run it. Unused Platform Credits do not roll over between cycles. Platform Credits have no monetary value and are not refundable, redeemable for cash, or transferable between accounts.

BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)

You may connect your own third-party API keys for supported providers. When BYOK is selected for a node, generations are billed by that provider directly to your provider account; no Platform Credits are consumed. Your provider account, its terms, and any applicable rate limits, taxes, and fees are between you and that provider — we are not responsible for amounts billed by them or for outages on their side.

Top-ups

If you run out of Platform Credits mid-cycle, you may purchase additional credit packs. Top-up credits do not expire while your Account is in good standing.

Payment & renewals

Paid plans renew automatically at the start of each billing cycle (monthly or annual) at the then-current rate. Card processing is handled by our payment provider, Stripe; we do not store full card numbers on our systems. You are responsible for keeping a valid payment method on file. Failed payments may result in suspension or downgrade of the Account after a reasonable grace period.

Cancellations & refunds

You can cancel a paid subscription at any time from your Account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access (and any remaining included credits) until then. Except where required by law, fees already paid for the current period are non-refundable. We may issue refunds at our discretion on a case-by-case basis.

Generation timeouts and cancellations

Some upstream AI providers — notably Google (Vertex AI / Veo / Imagen / Nano Banana) — bill us as soon as a generation request is submitted, regardless of whether you ultimately receive the output. If you cancel a Google generation in progress, or if the job exceeds our maximum wait window and we mark it as timed out, the Platform Credits already deducted for that job will not be refunded — we have already paid the provider for the compute. Other providers (e.g. Topaz, Kling, Runway, Sync.so) generally do issue refunds on cancel/timeout where their billing model permits, but this is not guaranteed and may change as upstream policies evolve.

Taxes

Stated prices do not include any applicable sales tax, VAT, GST, withholding, or similar taxes, which will be added where required.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • generate, store, or distribute content that is illegal, infringes third-party rights, or violates the policies of any third-party AI provider routed through the Service;
  • generate sexual content involving minors, non-consensual intimate imagery, or content designed to harass, defame, or sexualize a real person without their consent;
  • build or distribute deceptive deepfakes of real, identifiable individuals without their consent, or use the Service for fraud, election manipulation, or impersonation;
  • generate content depicting graphic violence directed at real persons or groups, or content promoting terrorism, self-harm, or hatred against protected classes;
  • circumvent rate limits, quota systems, security measures, or pricing (including by sharing credentials, scripting against our APIs without authorization, or chaining accounts to evade limits);
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, or scrape the Service except where this is expressly allowed by law and cannot be waived;
  • upload malware, viruses, or content that disrupts the Service or other users; or
  • resell, sublicense, or provide the Service as a hosted service to third parties without our prior written consent.

You are responsible for keeping your use compliant with the terms and content policies of every third-party AI provider your generations are routed through (whether on Platform or BYOK). We may suspend specific models or features in response to upstream provider changes.

7. Your content

Ownership

You retain all rights you have in the Content you upload to the Service, including any Output a model returns to you, to the extent such rights are available under applicable law. Some AI providers do not recognize copyright ownership in machine-generated Output, or impose conditions on commercial use; you are responsible for understanding the terms of the provider that produced your Output.

License to operate the Service

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, transmit, transcode, render, display, and otherwise process your Content solely for the purpose of providing, securing, supporting, and improving the Service for you and the Authorized Users you have shared it with. This license also covers limited routing of your Content to the third-party AI providers needed to fulfill a generation you triggered, and to backup providers (object storage, CDN) used to make the Service reliable.

We do not use your Content to train our own AI models. We do not sell your Content. The license ends when you delete the Content or close your Account, subject to a short retention window described below and to any backups that have already been generated for disaster recovery.

Storage

Your subscription includes a storage quota. We store Content on Cloudflare R2 (and similar object storage). When you delete a file, project, or canvas, it is moved to a soft-deleted state for up to 30 days for recovery, after which it is purged from active storage. Encrypted backups may persist for a bounded additional period as part of disaster-recovery routines.

If your storage exceeds your plan's quota, we may pause uploads, generation, or both until you reduce storage or upgrade. We may also delete files older than a reasonable period from inactive Accounts (after notice).

Your responsibility for Content

You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the Content you upload, and that your use of the Service with that Content does not violate the rights of any third party or any law. You are solely responsible for the legality of your prompts, references, and Output, and for any decision to use Output in a commercial or public context.

8. AI models & third-party providers

The Service routes generation requests to third-party AI models hosted by providers including (without limitation) Google AI Studio, Kling AI, OpenAI, Reve AI, Topaz Labs, ByteDance Seedance, and Sync.so. The set of supported providers and models may change over time without notice.

When you submit Input to a generation node, the relevant Input is transmitted to the corresponding provider so they can produce Output and return it to the Service. That provider's terms and privacy practices apply to its handling of your Input and Output, in addition to ours. We do not control, audit, or guarantee the behavior of third-party models, and we make no representations about the accuracy, safety, originality, or non-infringement of any Output.

Some models we expose are experimental, in beta, or supplied by providers we do not have a direct contractual relationship with. Such models are provided as-is, without warranty, and you use them at your own risk. We may remove or replace any model at any time.

9. Collaboration & sharing

You can invite collaborators to projects within seat limits set by your plan. Collaborators you invite can, depending on the role you assign, view, edit, or generate within the projects you share with them, see each other's cursors and in-progress work in real time, and access the Content already in those projects.

You are responsible for who you grant access to and at what role. Removing a collaborator removes their ongoing access to the canvas, but copies they have already exported or downloaded are outside our control. Real-time collaboration data (cursors, presence, draft edits) is processed via Liveblocks; persistent Content is stored as described in Section 7.

10. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, documentation, and the contents of the Piko Club website, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Service in accordance with these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

Our trademarks, logos, and brand assets may not be used without our prior written permission. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of our intellectual property to you, except for the right to use the Service as described.

11. Feedback

If you submit feedback, suggestions, bug reports, or feature ideas (including via the in-app feedback form or by emailing us), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose, including incorporating it into the Service, without obligation to compensate or credit you.

12. Confidentiality

Each party may receive non-public information from the other ("Confidential Information"), including business plans, technical details, pricing, and information about Authorized Users. The receiving party must use the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information (and at least reasonable care), use the information only to perform under these Terms, and not disclose it except to its personnel or contractors with a need to know who are bound by similar obligations. Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to it without confidentiality, or is independently developed without reference to the disclosing party's information.

13. Suspension & termination

By you

You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your Account from Settings. Subscription fees already paid are not refunded except as described in Section 5.

By us

We may suspend or terminate your Account or limit access to all or part of the Service if you (or an Authorized User) breach these Terms, if your use poses a security or operational risk to the Service or other users, if a third-party provider requires us to stop routing your traffic, if we are required to by law, or if your Account is inactive for an extended period. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you, except where prompt action is necessary or notice would be inappropriate.

Effects of termination

On termination, your right to use the Service ends and we may delete your Content after a reasonable grace period (currently 30 days for soft-deleted data). Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 5 (for amounts owing), 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, and 20 — will survive.

14. Disclaimers

Except as expressly stated in these Terms and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

We make no warranty regarding any AI Output produced through the Service. AI models can produce inaccurate, offensive, or infringing results. You are solely responsible for evaluating Output before relying on it, publishing it, or using it commercially.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Piko Club be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our aggregate liability arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service in any 12-month period will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Piko Apps LLC and its officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your or your Authorized Users' use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) your Content, including any claim that your Content infringes a third party's rights; (c) your use of any AI Output; or (d) your breach of any law or any rights of a third party.

17. Changes to the Service & these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will notify you in advance by email and/or in-app notice, and the change will take effect at the date stated in that notice (and at least 15 days after notice for material changes). Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

We may also update the Service itself at any time. Where a change reduces functionality you actively rely on as a paid subscriber, you may cancel your subscription and request a pro-rated refund of fees paid for the unused portion of the current term.

18. Governing law & disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or to the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the next paragraph, the state and federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute, and you and Piko Apps LLC consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Nothing in this Section limits any non-waivable consumer-protection rights you may have under the laws of your country of residence. Where local consumer law gives you a right to bring proceedings in your home courts, you may also do so.

19. General terms

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any pricing, plan, or order details published on the Service, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service, and supersede any prior agreement on the same subject matter.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

No waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

Notices

We may give notices to you by email to the address on file, by in-app notification, or by posting on the Service. Notices to us must be sent to [email protected].

Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, network or third-party provider outages, or government actions.
