Terms of Service changelog

This page tracks material changes to the Terms of Service. Minor edits (typo fixes, link corrections, date refreshes) are reflected in the "Last modified" field on the main page and are not separately listed here.

v2.1 — 2026-05-17 — §4.7 Coupons clause added

New §4.7 covers promotional discount codes (Coupons) end-to-end:

Validity windows (start + end date), withdrawal mechanism (is_active flag flip)
Per-user redemption limits (default 1) + global redemption caps
No cash value, no exchange, no transfer between accounts
One Coupon per transaction (no stacking)
Artifio's right to withdraw or modify without notice
Coupon-fraud clause (brute-force / scraping / sharing → account termination + clawback via dispute path)
Explicit legal characterization (NOT gift cards, NOT gambling, NOT prepaid access devices, NOT securities)

Triggered by the May 2026 coupon system shipping (PR #730 / #732). No material changes to wallet, Gold, or refund terms.

v2.0 — Pre-launch rewrite

Complete rewrite of the Terms for the Artifio.ai launch. v1.0 (December 2024) described the old 5-tier subscription model (Free / Explorer / Professional / Ultimate / Studio) and the legacy "credits" currency. v2.0 replaces those with the live product's wallet + Gold model and adds every launch-critical legal disclosure:

Wallet + Gold (§4, §5). Dollar-denominated Balance, Top-Up, Generation, and Platform Fee vocabulary throughout. Gold is a $5/month optional membership with a reduced platform fee and priority queue.
Platform fee disclosure. 20% Standard / 10% Gold, $0.50 minimum per generation, with the tagline A small platform fee keeps your prices unbeatable. published in both the Terms and the checkout flow.
Refund policy (§6). Wallet top-ups refundable for 14 days on the unspent balance. Gold non-refundable mid-period except the EU 14-day withdrawal right and compelled local-law pro-rata.
ROSCA-compliant Gold checkout (§5.3). Affirmative, not-pre-ticked consent checkbox displaying the renewal terms verbatim, plus a post-signup acknowledgment email with the same renewal details.
EU 14-day withdrawal right (§5.5). Article 9 / Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU. Starting Gold benefits immediately waives the right after partial performance.
One-click cancellation (§5.4, §7). Cancel from Settings → Membership — no phone, no email, no retention gauntlet. EU users get a cancellation button matching the signup flow from June 19, 2026 per Directive (EU) 2023/2673.
EU AI Act Article 5 prohibited practices (§9.6). Prohibited uses of AI under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (in force February 2025).
EU AI Act Article 50(4) deepfake disclosure duty (§9.7). The user's obligation to mark AI-generated likenesses of real people.
TAKE IT DOWN Act (§11.2). 48-hour NCII takedown process (Public Law 119-12, compliance deadline May 19, 2026).
DSA notice-and-action (§12). Statement-of-reasons, internal-complaint and out-of-court-dispute-settlement rights for EU users.
30-day arbitration opt-out (§19.3). Users may email arbitration-optout@artifio.ai within 30 days of first accepting to opt out of binding individual arbitration; the class-action waiver remains.
Indemnification scoped (§18). Enumerated breaches, not mutual-blind, carve-out for Artifio's own unlawful conduct.
EU/UK liability carve-outs (§16, §17). Statutory warranties and consumer-protection liability that cannot be disclaimed under EU/UK law are preserved.
