Terms of Service

1. Who this agreement is with

Cauldron is the studio at app.cauldron.studio. It is operated by Allness Brands LLC, a single-member limited liability company registered in California, at 1401 21st Street, STE R, Sacramento, CA 95811, United States. In these terms, “we” and “us” mean Allness Brands LLC.

Using Cauldron means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it.

Cauldron is also an open-source project. If you run your own install from that code, these terms cover only your use of app.cauldron.studio — your own install is governed by the licence that ships with the code, and we have no access to it.

2. Your account

• Cauldron is an 18+ service. You must be 18 or older to create an account or use Cauldron. We do not offer it to anyone under 18, and we close accounts we find that belong to minors.
• You need an account to generate, upload, or publish. Give accurate information and keep your sign-in secure.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account, including anything done by people you invite to your studio.
• One person, one account. Do not share credentials or create a second account to get around a suspension.

3. Your work stays yours

You own what you upload and what you make in Cauldron. We do not claim ownership of it.

To run the product we need permission to handle it: store your files, make thumbnails and preview versions, index them so search works, and pass what a generation needs to the model provider you picked. That permission covers running Cauldron for you and nothing else. It ends when you delete the content or your account. We do not use your work to train models, and we do not license it to anyone else.

Publishing to Community is the one exception, and it is entirely your choice. Section 4 sets out exactly what that adds.

Whether an AI-generated image can be copyrighted, and by whom, is unsettled and differs by country. We make no promise about it. Each model provider also sets its own rules about what its outputs may be used for, and those apply on top of these terms.

4. Publishing to Community

Community is the public side of Cauldron: the feed at /community, creator profiles, brand showcase pages, and a page for each published asset. Publishing is optional. Nothing you make is public unless you choose to publish it.

Public means public, and indexed. Community pages can be read by anyone on the internet, with or without a Cauldron account. They are open to search engines, which index them and may show a preview image and text in results. When someone pastes a link into a chat app or a social platform, that platform generates its own preview.

The licence you grant when you publish. When you publish an asset to Community, you grant Allness Brands LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to:

• host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute it on Cauldron’s public Community surfaces, and in the previews those pages generate for search engines and social platforms; and
• use it to promote Cauldron — in social posts, advertising, presentations, the marketing site, and similar material — crediting your handle where the format allows.

You keep ownership. The licence is non-exclusive, so you remain free to do whatever you like with the same work anywhere else. This is what the consent checkbox in the publish sheet refers to.

It covers published work only. The licence attaches to the specific assets you chose to publish and to nothing else. Your private library is never covered by it. We do not use unpublished work for anything except running the product for you.

Unpublishing stops future use. It cannot recall the past. Unpublishing an asset, or switching your profile to private, ends the licence going forward: we stop showing the work on Community immediately, and we start nothing new with it. What is already out stays out. An ad already running, a post already published, a deck already sent, a page already cached by a search engine — none of those come back. We will drop the work from material we control the next time we revise it, and that is the limit of what we can honestly promise. Publish on the assumption that a copy may outlive the page.

What you promise when you publish. By publishing, you confirm that:

• you made it, or you hold the rights to it;
• you have permission from anyone whose brand, client work, logo, product, or likeness appears in it — including permission for the promotional use described above;
• publishing it does not break an NDA, a client contract, or an employer agreement you are under;
• it does not infringe anyone’s copyright, trademark, or privacy; and
• it does not break the rules in section 5.

Client and brand work. Work attached to a brand needs two green lights: the brand has community publishing turned on, and the asset is approved in review. Both are checked when you publish and again on every page load, so switching either off hides the work at once. That is a technical backstop, not a substitute for asking. If your contract with a client says the work is confidential, that contract wins over any toggle in this app. And because publishing also licenses the work for our own marketing, client work deserves an actual conversation with the client first.

5. What you may not publish or make

Sexual content and nudity are never eligible for Community. There is no mature filter, no age gate, and no opt-in that changes this. Cauldron supports adult work in private brand workspaces where that has been enabled for you; none of it can be published. Assets from a brand or workspace with adult content enabled cannot be published even when the individual image looks tame, and neither can anything made with a model or LoRA marked adult.

Beyond that, do not use Cauldron to make or publish:

• sexual content involving a minor, or anything that sexualises a minor. We report this and terminate the account, with no warning and no appeal.
• intimate or sexual imagery of a real person made without their consent;
• content that impersonates a real person or organisation, or fabricated documents, receipts, records, or news presented as genuine;
• hate speech, harassment, threats, or content that incites violence;
• content that infringes someone else’s copyright or trademark;
• anything illegal where you are, or where our infrastructure runs;
• malware, or attempts to break, overload, or scrape the service past its published rate limits;
• content that gets around the publish check, or a republish of something we have taken down — including from another account.

6. How we enforce this

Two things happen, and neither is a person reviewing every image before it goes up.

An automated check at publish. When you publish, we look at where the asset came from — the brand and workspace settings, the models and LoRAs involved — and run the image through a content classifier. If either signal trips, publishing is refused. The publish sheet says the asset cannot be published; it does not say which check fired, because that would be a guide to getting around it.

Reports after the fact. Anyone can report a published asset. Reports go to a queue we read. If we agree with the report, we take the asset down.

Automated checks get things wrong in both directions. Some work is refused that should not be, and some gets through that should not. There is no formal appeal process. If a check refuses something you believe is fine, email us and a person will look at it. We cannot promise how fast, and we cannot promise we will agree.

7. Takedown, suspension, and closing an account

• We can take down published work, hide a profile, suspend a studio, or close an account when these terms are broken, when the law requires it, or when an account is being used to harm other people or the service itself.
• A taken-down asset cannot be republished. It stays in your library and we do not delete your file, but it is permanently ineligible for Community — by you, or by anyone you have shared it with.
• For clear-cut cases — sexual content involving a minor, credible threats, a court order — we act immediately and without notice. Otherwise we will normally tell you what happened and why.
• You can close your account at any time by emailing us. Closing it removes your public profile and every asset you published.

8. Copyright complaints

If you own copyright in something published on Cauldron and it is there without your permission, send a notice to hello@cauldron.studio including:

• identification of the work you say was copied;
• the URL of the Cauldron page where it appears;
• your name, address, and email;
• a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for them; and
• your physical or electronic signature.

We take down material that is the subject of a valid notice and tell the person who published it. If your work was taken down and you believe that was a mistake, send a counter-notice to the same address with the equivalent information. Accounts that infringe repeatedly are closed.

9. Model providers

Cauldron routes generation to third-party model providers. Picking a model means your prompt and any reference images go to that provider so it can run the job. Their terms and content policies apply to that request on top of ours. The providers are listed in the Privacy Policy.

Providers change models, prices, and policies without telling us in advance, and models sometimes disappear. We keep the catalogue current, but we cannot guarantee any particular model stays available.

10. Plans, credits, and storage

• Prices are shown at checkout. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel; cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep access to the end of the period you paid for.
• Credits are prepaid, spent as you generate, and not refundable once spent. They do not expire while the account is open.
• If we charged you for a generation that never produced anything, tell us and we will credit it back.
• We may change prices. Changes take effect at your next renewal and we will tell you before that.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. A failed payment can suspend a studio until it is fixed.
• Your card statement will show “ALLNESS BRANDS”. That is us — Allness Brands LLC is the company that operates Cauldron. It is not an unfamiliar charge.

11. Availability and liability

• Cauldron is provided as is. We do not promise it will always be available, that a generation will succeed, or that a result will suit your purpose.
• Keep your own copies of work that matters. We run backups for our own operational reasons; they are not a guarantee to you.
• As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before it arose.
• Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

12. Changes to these terms

We will update these terms as the product changes. For material changes we will give notice in the app or by email before they take effect. The date at the top always says when this page last changed. Continuing to use Cauldron after a change means you accept the new version.

13. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of them will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Sacramento County, California, and both you and we consent to that venue.
