Terms of Service — Markolé

Effective Date: May 1, 2026

Hi, and welcome. We wrote these Terms in plain language because you shouldn't need a lawyer to understand what you're agreeing to. If anything is unclear, email us at info@aibranddna.com — we mean it.

These Terms are an agreement between you and AI Brand DNA ("Markolé," "we," "us," or "our"), the company behind the Markolé platform (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Your account

To use Markolé you need an account, and you need to be at least 18 years old. You're responsible for keeping your password safe and for what happens under your account. Tell us right away if you think someone else got in: info@aibranddna.com.

2. What we do

Markolé helps you build, refine, and use your brand identity — names, voice, visuals, documents, and related assets — with the help of AI. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, revocable right to use the Service for your own business or projects. Don't try to break it, scrape it, reverse-engineer it, or use it to harm other people. Beyond that, use it however helps you.

3. Payments

Some features require a paid plan. Prices are on our pricing page. Payments are processed by Stripe under their own terms. You're responsible for any taxes that apply where you live. If a payment fails, we may pause paid features until it's resolved.

4. Your brand stays yours — read this carefully

This is the part most platforms get wrong, so we want to be very clear.

What you own

Everything you put into Markolé belongs to you. Your inputs (briefs, descriptions, uploaded files, photos, logos, references) and the outputs Markolé generates with you (brand names, color palettes, type systems, copy, mockups, documents) are yours. You can use them commercially. We don't claim co-ownership of your brand.

About exports. Downloading your finished brand package out of Markolé — high-resolution files, full asset bundles, source documents — is a paid feature, included with active paid plans or with a one-time Brand Unlock purchase for a specific brand. Your ownership of what we build together doesn't change either way; what changes is whether you can pull the files off the platform. Free-tier users keep full access to their brand inside the app and can preview everything; exporting requires a plan or an unlock.

What we need permission to do — and only this

To actually run the Service for you, we need a narrow, technical permission to handle your content. So you give us a limited license only to:

Store your content on our infrastructure (and our hosting/database providers' infrastructure) so it's there when you log back in.
Display your content back to you and to people you explicitly invite (collaborators, team members).
Process your content through AI models and rendering tools to produce the outputs you ask for — for example, generating a logo variant when you click "generate."
Transmit your content over the network and keep routine backups so it doesn't get lost.
Export your content in the formats you request (PDF, PNG, ZIP, etc.).

That's it. This permission lasts only as long as we need it to do the job above, and ends when you delete the content or close your account (subject to the retention rules in our Privacy Policy).

What we will NOT do with your content

To remove the ambiguity: we will not

use your brand, logos, names, copy, or any of your content in our marketing, advertising, case studies, social posts, decks, or "customers we work with" pages without your explicit written permission;
sell, rent, license, or share your content with third parties beyond the infrastructure providers strictly needed to run the Service (listed in our Privacy Policy);
use your content to train general-purpose AI models, foundation models, or anyone else's AI models;
modify, remix, or create derivative works of your brand for any purpose other than the specific generation you asked for inside the app;
claim ownership of, register trademarks on, or assert rights over anything you create with Markolé.

If we ever want to feature your brand publicly (for example, in a "customer story"), we'll ask you first and you can say no.

AI-generated outputs

When you generate something with Markolé — a logo, a name, a paragraph of brand copy — the output is yours to use. AI outputs sometimes resemble existing works by accident; you're responsible for doing the usual due diligence (trademark search, etc.) before adopting a name or mark commercially. We can't guarantee uniqueness, and neither can any AI tool.

Your responsibility for what you upload

You confirm that you have the right to upload whatever you upload. Don't put other people's copyrighted material, trade secrets, or personal data into Markolé unless you're allowed to.

5. Aggregated, anonymized statistics

We look at how the Service is used so we can make it better — what features get used, where people get stuck, how long generations take. When we do this for research, trend analysis, or product improvement, we strip out anything that could identify you or your company first. The result is statistics, not your data.

We do not use your brand content (names, logos, copy, images) as training data for AI models — ours or anyone else's. If we ever want to change that, we'll ask you to opt in, separately and explicitly.

6. Acceptable use

Don't use Markolé to:

generate content that's illegal, defamatory, or that infringes someone else's rights;
impersonate someone or pass off another company's brand as your own;
attempt to attack, overload, or probe the Service;
build a competing product by scraping our outputs.

We may suspend accounts that do these things.

7. Ending the relationship

You can stop using Markolé at any time. If you have an active plan or a Brand Unlock, you can export your content before leaving; either way, you can delete your account from your settings or by emailing us. When you delete, your content is removed from active systems within 30 days (backups roll off after that, as described in the Privacy Policy).

We may suspend or close an account that's clearly violating these Terms — for example, fraud, abuse, or non-payment. Where reasonable we'll tell you first and give you a chance to fix it. If we close your account without cause, we'll give you a way to export your content.

8. The boring legal bits (still in plain English)

No promises beyond what we say. The Service is provided "as is." We work hard to keep it reliable and useful, but we can't promise it will always be available, bug-free, or perfectly suited to every business need. You're responsible for deciding whether Markolé is the right tool for your situation.

Limits on liability. To the extent the law allows, AI Brand DNA isn't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — things like lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption. Our total liability for anything that goes wrong on our side is capped at the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the issue (or USD 100 if you're on a free plan). None of this limits liability for things that legally can't be limited (gross negligence, willful misconduct, etc.).

9. Changes to these Terms

If we update these Terms, we'll post the new version and update the date at the top. If a change materially affects your rights, we'll let you know by email or in the app before it takes effect, so you have a chance to review or close your account if you disagree.

10. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California — unless a mandatory consumer-protection law in your country says otherwise, in which case that law wins.
