Terms of Service
Last Updated: April 2026 — Token Pricing Disclosure Added
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using Sprite O'MATIC (the "Platform"), which is owned and operated by **Aiyeka Ltd** ("we", "our", or "us"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement. Any participation in this service will constitute your acceptance of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service. This agreement is incorporated into and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. Description of Service
Sprite O'MATIC provides a suite of tools, including AI-driven video processing models and graphical editing workspaces, designed to assist users in transforming standard video files into pixelated frame sequences ("Sprites").
The Platform utilizes intensive GPU processing. We constantly modify, upgrade, and optimize our pipeline. Consequently, the performance, visual output, and availability of features are subject to change without prior notice.
3. User-Generated Content (UGC) & Copyright
You, the user, retain all ownership rights to the footage, imagery, and files ("User Content") that you upload to the Platform. However, by uploading User Content, you grant Aiyeka Ltd a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and process said content solely for the purpose of operating the Platform and saving your projects. This license explicitly excludes any rights to use your User Content to train, fine-tune, or improve our or any third-party foundational AI models.
- Copyright Liability: You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the User Content you upload. You warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, and consents to use all intellectual property within the uploaded files. Aiyeka Ltd explicitly disclaims any liability for copyright infringement resulting from your uploads.
- Prohibited Materials: You agree NOT to upload explicit, illegal, non-consensual, obscene, pornographic, excessively violent, or purely malicious material. We reserve the right to immediately terminate access for violations.
4. Output & Intellectual Property
Aiyeka Ltd does not claim copyright ownership over the final AI-generated pixel sprites or animation routines you extract from the Platform. Assuming you owned the legal right to the underlying video footage uploaded, you are free to use your exported sprites in personal and commercial video game projects without paying royalties to Aiyeka Ltd.
Conversely, the Platform itself—including its source code, AI models, UI design, branding, and all associated intellectual property—remains the exclusive property of Aiyeka Ltd. Your use of the Platform grants you no rights to our underlying software.
5. Cloud Saving & Data Retention
Cloud Save Functionality: Sprite O'MATIC provides the ability for users with registered accounts to save their ongoing projects and generated sprite sequences sequentially in the cloud for later resumption.
While Aiyeka Ltd works diligently to securely maintain your cloud projects, we operate as a software pipeline rather than a guaranteed cloud-backup facility. We cannot categorically guarantee absolute protection against data corruption, server outages, or accidental deletion.It is strongly recommended that you regularly download your finished ZIP bundles or Sprite Sheets locally as hard backups. Aiyeka Ltd shall not be liable for any lost art, structural degradation, missed video game development deadlines, or unrecoverable projects resulting from cloud-sync failures or infrastructure disruptions.
6. System Abuse & Fair Use
To guarantee that all developers have access to backend GPU computing resources, any attempts to deliberately circumvent constraints are prohibited. You may not:
- Deploy malicious scripts to automate massive uploads without a commercial API license.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the underlying AI models or algorithms from our servers.
- Launch Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks or exploit backend vulnerabilities.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties ("AS-IS" Clause)
Please read this section carefully.
The Platform and its AI outputs are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. Aiyeka Ltd expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
We make no warranty that (i) the Platform will meet your specific requirements, (ii) the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, (iii) the visual quality of the resulting AI-sprites will be flawless or physically accurate.
8. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Aiyeka Ltd, its operators, directors, employees, or partners be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Platform; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Platform; (iii) any content obtained from the Platform; and (iv) unauthorized access, use or alteration of your transmissions or cloud-saved content.
9. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Aiyeka Ltd and its licensee and licensors, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees), resulting from or arising out of a) your use and access of the Platform, by you or any person using your account and password, or b) a breach of these Terms, particularly regarding allegations of copyright infringement of User Content.
10. Usage Tokens & Payment Terms
Sprite O'MATIC may require the purchase of "Usage Tokens" or a subscription to access premium AI processing features. By purchasing Usage Tokens, you agree to the following terms:
- No Real-World Value: Usage Tokens are a virtual, internal balance unit used exclusively to measure computation time on our servers. They are not a currency and have no cash value.
- Top-Up Packages: Tokens purchased as one-off "Top-Up" packages carry no expiration date and stack indefinitely.
- Subscription Rollover: Monthly subscription token allowances roll over from month to month, subject to a 2x Capped Rollover limit. This means your accrued subscription balance cannot exceed twice your monthly allowance (e.g., a 10,000 token plan is capped at 20,000 tokens). On your billing renewal date, if you are over this cap—for instance, due to purchasing a Top-Up package—your existing tokens are kept completely safe and are never deleted or reset, but you will temporarily stop accumulating new monthly subscription tokens until your balance falls back underneath the cap.
- Refund Policy: All purchases of Usage Tokens are strictly non-refundable once the tokens have been deposited into your account. If you experience a fatal backend error that consumed tokens without yielding a result, you may contact support for a token credit, issued entirely at our discretion.
- Forfeiture: If your account is banned for violating these Terms of Service (e.g., uploading prohibited materials), all remaining Usage Tokens in your account are immediately forfeited without refund.
10a. Token Consumption Rates
The following table discloses the exact token cost for each processing operation performed on the Platform. These rates are provided in full transparency in accordance with the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 and applicable consumer protection regulations. All costs are deducted from your Usage Token wallet balance automatically upon initiating a job.
| Pipeline Step | Operation | Token Cost | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step 1 | Video Frame Extraction | 5 + (0.1 × frames) | 30 frames = 8 tokens |
| Step 2 | Clean Source / Pre-Quantize | 1 token per frame | 30 frames = 30 tokens |
| Step 3 | Pixel Stabilization | 1 token per frame | 30 frames = 30 tokens |
| Step 4 | AI Background Removal | 1 token per frame | 30 frames = 30 tokens |
| Step 5 | Refinement & Polish | Free (0 tokens) | Runs locally in your browser |
| Export | Animated GIF Compilation | 1 token flat | Per GIF export |
10b. Two-Phase Billing (Step 1)
Step 1 (Video Frame Extraction) uses a two-phase billing system, because the total number of extracted frames cannot be known until after GPU processing completes:
- Phase 1 — Upfront Deposit: A flat deposit of 3 tokens is deducted from your wallet at the moment you submit a video for processing. This deposit confirms you have sufficient balance and reserves your place in the processing queue.
- Phase 2 — True-Up Adjustment: Once processing completes and the exact frame count is known, the system automatically recalculates the true cost using the formula 5 + (0.1 × frame_count). The difference between the true cost and the initial 3-token deposit is then atomically charged or refunded to your wallet. You will never be charged more than explained by this formula.
- Video Length Limit: To protect users from unexpectedly large token charges, video selections are capped at a maximum of 30 seconds per processing job.
11. Age Requirements
In compliance with global privacy regulations regarding user-generated content, you must be at least 13 years old (or 16 years old if residing in the European Union) to create an account and operate the Platform. By using Sprite O'MATIC, you represent and warrant that you meet these minimum age requirements.
12. Account Termination
Aiyeka Ltd reserves the absolute right to suspend, terminate, or immediately delete your account—including wiping any cloud-saved projects or unused Usage Tokens—at any time, for any reason, without prior warning or liability.
User Deletion Rights: You may request the complete deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. Upon verifying your request, your cloud-saved projects and authentication data will be permanently erased.
13. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you by posting the new version with a new 'Last Updated' date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Platform after changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms, and your relationship with Aiyeka Ltd under these Terms, shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales. You and Aiyeka Ltd agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales to resolve any legal matters arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform.
15. General Provisions
- Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
- Entire Agreement: These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Aiyeka Ltd and you regarding the Platform.
- Force Majeure: Aiyeka Ltd shall not be liable for any failure or delay resulting from conditions beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to server outages, hardware failures, natural disasters, or governmental acts.
