5. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DISCLOSURE
The Service uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to generate music, lyrics, artwork, titles, and other creative outputs.
By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:
- all Generated Content is created using artificial intelligence;
- AI-generated content is probabilistic and may produce unexpected, inaccurate, incomplete, or inconsistent results;
- Generated Content may resemble or be similar to content generated for other users or created independently by third parties;
- Phobik does not guarantee that any Generated Content is unique, original, copyrightable, non-infringing, or suitable for any particular purpose;
- Phobik makes no representation that any Generated Song or Generated Artwork qualifies for copyright protection under applicable law.
You are solely responsible for determining whether any Generated Content is appropriate for your intended use.
The Service should be viewed as a creative tool and not as a guarantee of exclusive artistic output.
6. USER ACCOUNTS

You agree to:
- provide truthful, current, and complete registration information;
- maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials;
- promptly update your account information if it changes;
- immediately notify Phobik of any unauthorized use of your account.

Phobik reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate any account reasonably believed to be compromised, fraudulent, abusive, or in violation of these Terms.
7. CREDITS, PAYMENTS, AND BILLING
Certain features of the Service require the purchase of Credits.
Credits are digital access rights that allow you to request AI-generated content through the Service. Credits are not currency, are not redeemable for cash, do not constitute personal property, and confer no ownership interest.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law:
- Credit purchases are final.
- Credits are non-transferable.
- Credits may not be resold.
- Credits may not be exchanged for cash.
- Credits have no monetary value outside the Service.
Phobik reserves the right to modify credit pricing, promotional offers, or generation costs at any time. Such changes will not affect Credits already purchased except as required to maintain the integrity, security, or functionality of the Service.
Payment processing is handled by third-party payment providers. Phobik does not store complete payment card information and is not responsible for errors, delays, or security incidents attributable to third-party payment processors.
8. GENERATED SONGS & AI ARTWORK
The Service enables Users to generate original creative outputs using artificial intelligence based upon the information, prompts, selections, preferences, and creative direction provided by the User.
Generated Content may include, without limitation:
- Songs
- Lyrics
- Instrumental music
- Vocal performances

- Album or cover artwork
- Creative descriptions

Generated Content is created through artificial intelligence and third-party AI technologies and is generated automatically without direct human composition, performance, or review by Phobik.
Phobik does not manually compose, edit, review, or verify each Generated Song or Generated Artwork.
Because artificial intelligence is inherently probabilistic, Generated Content:
- may differ each time a prompt is submitted;
- may contain factual inaccuracies;
- may contain unexpected wording or stylistic choices;
- may resemble content generated for other users;
- may resemble existing creative works without intending to copy them;
- is not guaranteed to be unique or exclusive;
- is not guaranteed to qualify for copyright protection under applicable law.
Users acknowledge that AI-generated content is an emerging technology and accept these limitations as an inherent characteristic of the Service.
9. PERSONAL USE LICENSE
