Terms of Service

Version 1.0.0 · Effective 2026-06-12

Version 1.0.0 — Effective June 12, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Ross Frederick, an individual doing business as "Mother" ("Mother", "we", "us", or "our"). They govern your use of the Mother suite of creative tools: Storyboard (storyyy.app), Midnight, and SlideKit (together, the "Service"). One Mother account and one subscription cover all three products.

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these Terms. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data.

1. Accounts and eligibility

  • You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service — or at least 16 years old if you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom.
  • If you are under 18, you may only use the Service with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
  • You agree to provide accurate account information and to keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account.
  • One account per person. Do not share your account, sell access to it, or use someone else's account without permission.

2. Subscriptions, billing, and credits

The Service offers three tiers. One subscription applies across Storyboard, Midnight, and SlideKit.

| Tier | Price | Credits | Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) | |------|-------|---------|------| | Free | $0 | A one-time starter grant of 500 credits when you create your account | Not available | | Creator | $19/month | 2,000 credits each billing month | Not available — platform keys only | | Studio | $49/month | 6,000 credits each billing month | Available |

How credits work:

  • 1 credit = $0.01 USD of generation value. Each AI model has a per-run credit price shown before you run it.
  • Per-model credit pricing may change. We will give notice of pricing changes in the app or on our pricing page before they take effect.
  • Monthly grants reset your balance — there is no rollover. At the start of each billing period, your credit balance is set to your tier's monthly amount. Unused credits from the previous period expire at the end of that period and do not accumulate or carry over.
  • The Free tier's 500-credit starter grant is one-time only and does not renew.
  • Credits have no cash value, are not transferable, and are non-refundable except where the law requires a refund.
  • On the Studio tier, generations that run through your own provider API keys (BYOK) debit zero credits.

Billing:

  • Paid subscriptions renew automatically each month and are charged through Stripe, our payment processor. Your card details are handled by Stripe and never touch our servers.
  • You can cancel anytime through the billing portal in your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep access and your remaining credits until then. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods, except where the law requires.
  • If we change subscription prices, we will give you at least 30 days' notice, and the new price applies from your next renewal.
  • If a renewal payment fails, we may retry it. If payment continues to fail, we may downgrade your account to the Free tier or suspend paid features until payment is resolved.

3. Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK — Studio tier)

On the Studio tier you may connect your own API keys for supported AI providers:

  • Your keys are stored encrypted at rest (AES) and are used only to run the generation requests you make. We do not use your keys for anything else and we never share them.
  • BYOK generations are billed by the provider directly to you. You are responsible for all provider fees incurred through your keys and for complying with each provider's terms of service.
  • BYOK runs debit zero Mother credits.
  • We may disable a connected key if the provider requires it or if it is being used in violation of these Terms or the provider's terms.

4. Your content

  • You own your content. You retain all rights you have in the prompts, media, and other material you upload ("inputs") and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of the AI providers involved, you own the material the Service generates for you ("outputs"). Note that copyright law in some jurisdictions may limit protection for AI-generated material, and some provider terms may affect output rights — we pass through to you everything we are able to.
  • Limited license to us. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, process, transmit, and display your content solely as needed to operate and provide the Service — for example, sending a prompt and its input media to the AI provider you selected, generating previews and thumbnails, or displaying your work to people you choose to share it with. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for short-lived backup copies.
  • No training. We do not use your content to train AI models.
  • You are responsible for ensuring you have the necessary rights to the content you upload and that your content and your use of outputs comply with the law and with our Acceptable Use Policy.

5. AI outputs — important disclaimer

Generative AI is probabilistic. You acknowledge that:

  • Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading, and should not be relied on as factual, legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice.
  • Outputs may be similar to outputs generated for other users — similar prompts can produce similar results, and we cannot guarantee uniqueness.
  • You are responsible for how you use outputs, including reviewing them before use and clearing any rights needed for your intended use.

6. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Violations may result in warnings, suspension, or termination of your account as described there and in Section 9.

7. Third-party services

The Service depends on third-party providers — including AI model providers, Stripe for payments, and our hosting and infrastructure vendors. We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of an AI provider through the Service may also be subject to that provider's terms and content policies. Generations may be refused or filtered by a provider's safety systems.

8. Copyright complaints

We respond to copyright infringement notices as described in our DMCA & Copyright Policy. Send notices to support@motherrr.app.

9. Suspension and termination

  • By you: You may stop using the Service or delete your account at any time. Deleting your account does not entitle you to a refund of fees already paid or unused credits, except where the law requires.
  • By us: We may suspend or terminate your account, or restrict features, if you breach these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, if your payment fails and is not resolved, if required by law, or if your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or other users. Where reasonable, we will warn you first; for serious violations (for example, the zero-tolerance items in the AUP) we may terminate immediately.
  • On termination, your license from us ends and we will delete or de-identify your data as described in the Privacy Policy. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including Sections 4–5 and 10–16) survive termination.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory — including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that outputs will meet your requirements. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • Neither we nor our suppliers will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to the Service.
  • Our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service is capped at the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so these limits apply only to the maximum extent permitted where you live.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Mother (Ross Frederick d/b/a Mother) from claims, damages, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of your content, your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, or your violation of any third party's rights.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you — by email or an in-app notice — before the changes take effect, and we may ask you to re-accept the updated Terms in the app before continuing to use the Service. Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.

14. Governing law, venue, and dispute resolution

  • These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
  • Talk to us first. Before filing any claim, you agree to email support@motherrr.app with a description of the dispute and give us 30 days to work with you in good faith to resolve it informally. Most issues can be sorted out this way.
  • If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, it must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, USA, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Nothing in this section prevents either party from bringing an eligible claim in small-claims court or limits rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law where you live.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

16. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Acceptable Use Policy, the DMCA & Copyright Policy, and the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Mother regarding the Service, and supersede any prior agreements on that subject. We may not be bound by informal statements made outside these documents.
