Terms of Service

Using Studio

Engines of Creation provides a browser workspace, project templates, and connected development tools for adults. Paid access requires a verified account and confirmed subscription payment. Available tools and their requirements are shown in your workspace. Engines of Creation, LLC operates the service. Contact us at nick@enginesofcreation.xyz for support or questions about these terms.

You must verify your email and receive administrator approval for platform access. You must be at least 18 and provide your country when accepting these terms. Use your own sign-in account and protect any GitHub or Vercel credentials you connect.

Your projects and AI builds

You retain your rights in content you supply. You authorize us to store and process it to provide the service, including sending relevant project source and instructions to the model providers displayed in the build quote after you approve. Only supply content you have permission to use. Do not include passwords, private keys, sensitive personal information, or production customer data in projects or prompts.

AI output can be incorrect, insecure, or similar to other output. Inspect and test it before publishing or relying on it. Automated tests and a separate AI reviewer do not establish a security audit or guarantee ownership of generated material.

Subscriptions and source access

Studio source access requires a verified email, an active Studio or Studio Team subscription and an active workspace. Regular subscriptions cover the creation harness and your project exports. GitHub invitations, when configured, provide read-only access for one linked GitHub identity managed by the workspace owner or administrator.

Source access and future updates depend on the applicable active subscription and workspace access. Downloaded copies are not remotely deleted. The Studio Source Code License allows commercial distribution of finished games using covered EoC-owned material, with a 1% royalty on net game receipts above the first $1 million per game. Rights to continue an existing game after Studio access ends are governed by that license. Separate upstream licenses continue to govern their own files. These royalties apply to covered EoC source editions; purchasing or using API credits alone does not subject your project to this royalty. Use your own licensed artwork, data, credentials, and infrastructure.

Platform pricing and renewal

Eligible verified accounts can start a one-time seven-day Regular trial. The trial starts only when you choose to activate it and Stripe confirms your card. A credit card is required, but the trial does not renew or charge automatically. Card setup does not create a paid subscription. You supply and pay for your own AI provider API credits. After it ends, a subscription is required to continue AI creation; sign-in, local draft downloads and private backup recovery remain available. The trial does not include Studio source editions or additional seats. A paid subscription purchased during the trial begins under the checkout terms shown at purchase.

Regular costs $29.95 per month or $179.70 per year; Studio costs $100 per month or $600 per year; Studio Team costs $200 per month or $1,200 per year, in USD. Annual billing saves 50% compared with twelve monthly payments and is charged upfront. Card subscriptions renew until cancelled through Link. Cancellation stops future renewal; confirmed access continues through the paid term unless suspended under these terms. Blockchain purchases provide 30 or 365 days with manual renewal, starting when settlement is confirmed. Network and provider fees are disclosed at checkout. Stripe Managed Payments purchases are sold through Link, which handles applicable indirect taxes and transaction-level support. Taxes and any local-currency conversion are shown before purchase. AI usage and hosting are separate.

For a refund of unused purchased credits, email nick@enginesofcreation.xyz from your account email with the order reference. Do not send card details or passwords. We verify ownership and reconcile pending usage before confirming the refundable amount, including proportional tax, to the original payment method. Consumed usage is not refundable except for billing errors or where required by law. Disputed or uncertain payments need review. This refund process does not make credits transferable or cash redeemable.

Connecting your own provider account does not add an EoC usage fee. Provider authentication stays in the provider's official client on your computer. Your subscription limits apply. Exhausted allowance or expired authentication stops generation; EoC does not automatically spend prepaid credits.

Subscription support and refunds

For billing errors, duplicate charges or refund requests, contact nick@enginesofcreation.xyz with your account email and order reference. We review the payment and service delivered before confirming a refund. This does not limit rights that apply under mandatory consumer law. Blockchain refunds require manual verification; never provide a wallet private key.

Studio includes one creator seat and multiplayer server source. Studio Team includes two creator seats, Unreal plugin source and external-store release tools. Do not share sign-in credentials. Compiling and hosting servers requires your own compatible tools and infrastructure. Store release tools prepare configurations and upload scripts; you must supply publisher accounts, compatible builds, signing credentials and required submissions. Store fees and approval are controlled by each store. EoC does not guarantee acceptance, revenue or a release date.

Credits and publishing

Service credits cover quoted usage of AI and tools. One credit represents $1 of service usage. Credits are non-transferable, cannot be redeemed for cash, and do not expire. Each build displays a maximum credit charge and requires your approval. Completed work may consume credits even if a build is cancelled or fails. Unused reserved credits are released when accounting is reconciled; uncertain provider requests may require support’s help.

Publishing requires a separate approval and sends reviewed source to your chosen GitHub repository and compiled files to your Vercel project. Published content may become public. You are responsible for your destination accounts, their access settings, and any hosting charges. The workspace does not automatically deploy blockchain contracts or promote apps to production.

Acceptable use and availability

Do not use the service for unlawful activity, infringement, harassment, malware, unauthorized access, or attempts to evade its access and spending limits. We may suspend access to investigate misuse or protect the service.

The service is provided as available. Keep backups of your projects; we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access or recovery of browser data you delete. These terms do not exclude rights or protections that cannot lawfully be excluded.

You may stop using the service and request account or project removal through the support contact. Copies you publish to GitHub or Vercel must also be managed in those services. We will ask you to accept updated policies before using features that require a new policy version.
