These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of all Starship No. 27 properties, platforms, APIs, and services (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

§ 1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using any Starship No. 27 Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

§ 2. Eligibility

§ 3. Accounts & Authentication

Account security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

Artist & operator accounts. Certain features (releases, admin dashboards, CYPH chat) require authenticated accounts. Role assignments (artist, admin, operator) are managed by Starship No. 27 and may be modified or revoked at our discretion.

Third-party authentication. Where Google Sign-In or other OAuth providers are offered, your use is subject to both our Terms and the third-party provider's terms. We receive only the minimum data necessary for authentication.

Session management. Sessions are managed via server-side tokens and cookies. We may terminate idle sessions for security purposes. You may log out at any time.

§ 5. AI & Inference Services

AI-generated content. Services include AI-assisted content generation (text, images, audio, social copy, press releases). You acknowledge that:

• AI-generated content may not be unique and similar outputs may be produced for other users
• You are solely responsible for reviewing AI-generated content before publication, distribution, or public use
• AI-generated content does not constitute professional advice (legal, medical, financial, or otherwise)

Inference providers. AI features may route requests through third-party inference providers (e.g., Google Gemini/Vertex AI, Groq, OpenAI, Replicate, Stability, Pollinations, Ollama). Your use of AI features is subject to the acceptable use policies of the underlying providers.

No guarantees of accuracy. AI systems may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or offensive outputs. Starship No. 27 makes no warranty regarding the accuracy, reliability, or quality of AI-generated content.

Training data. We do not use your inputs to train AI models unless you explicitly opt in. Content you submit through the Services may be processed by inference providers solely to fulfill your request.

Automated decision-making. The orchestrator and agent systems may perform automated content review, scoring, and publishing decisions. Human review is available and recommended for all published outputs.

§ 6. User Content & Intellectual Property

Your content. You retain ownership of all content you submit to the Services ("User Content"), including audio files, artwork, lyrics, prompts, text, and other materials.

License to Starship. By submitting User Content, you grant Starship No. 27 a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute your content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Services (e.g., distributing releases, generating presave campaigns, performing AI inference, displaying content in dashboards).

AI-generated derivatives. Content generated by our AI tools based on your inputs is considered your User Content, subject to the same license terms. You are responsible for ensuring that AI-generated derivatives do not infringe third-party rights.

Platform content. All Starship No. 27 proprietary content, software, designs, logos, and documentation remain our exclusive property. You may not copy, modify, or distribute platform content without written permission.

Release content. For music releases submitted through the platform, you represent and warrant that you own or have cleared all rights to the content, including master recordings, compositions, artwork, and metadata, and that such content does not infringe any third-party rights.

§ 7. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Services to:

• Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party rights
• Submit content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable
• Distribute spam, unsolicited communications, or deceptive content
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation

• Circumvent rate limits, access controls, security measures, or governor policies
• Use AI features to generate content that violates applicable laws or these Terms
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from any part of the Services

• Use the M2M mesh protocol for unauthorized machine-to-machine communication outside the N27 network

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action against violations, including suspension or termination of your account.

Paid features. Certain Services may require payment, including but not limited to premium releases, distribution services, AI usage quotas, or subscription tiers. Payment processing is handled by third-party providers (e.g., Stripe).

Network fees. On-chain operations may incur network gas fees. You are responsible for all fees associated with your transactions.

Regulatory compliance. You are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws regarding digital assets, tokens, and blockchain-based settlements in your jurisdiction.

No investment advice. Nothing in the Services constitutes financial, legal, or investment advice. Token features are operational settlement tools, not investment products.

§ 10. API Terms & Rate Limits

API access. Where API access is provided (including M2M protocol endpoints, orchestrator interfaces, and integration APIs), you must use them in accordance with these Terms and any accompanying documentation.

Rate limits. All API endpoints are subject to rate limiting and governor policies. Exceeding rate limits may result in temporary or permanent access restrictions. Rate limits are enforced per-account, per-IP, and per-service as configured by the platform.

Injunctive relief. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights.

§ 18. Cookie Policy

The Services use cookies and similar tracking technologies. This section explains how we use them.

Types of cookies

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for authentication, session management, and security. Without these, authenticated features cannot function.
• Functional cookies — remember your preferences, display settings, and language choices.
• Analytics cookies — used on public-facing properties (e.g., music subdomain) to understand usage patterns and improve the platform. These may be set by third-party analytics providers.
• Syndication cookies — used by Zernio integration for social media publishing workflows.

Session cookies

Server-side session cookies are used for authentication across .starshipno27.com subdomains. CYPH uses JWT tokens stored in localStorage (separate from Express sessions). These are essential for the Services to function and cannot be disabled while using authenticated features.

Third-party cookies

Third-party services (Google Analytics, Zernio, payment processors) may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies. We do not control these cookies.

Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent authenticated features from working. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect core functionality.

Do Not Track

We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals where technically feasible. Analytics cookies are disabled on pages where DNT is detected.

§ 19. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms as our platform evolves. Material changes will be:

• Reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
• Posted on this page with a summary of changes where significant
• Communicated via email or in-platform notification for material changes affecting active accounts

Continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
