Terms of Use

Larka AI (the "App" or "Service") is operated by Asaf Shevach ("Larka," "we," "our," or "us"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms") and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App. These Terms apply to all users of the App, including users on free and paid tiers.

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Asaf Shevach. They are not an agreement with Apple (see the Apple-Specific Terms section below).

You must be at least 13 years old — or the minimum age of digital consent in your country (for example, 16 in parts of the European Economic Area) — to use the App. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you may only use the App with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, and only a parent or legal guardian may make any purchase or agree to any paid subscription.

By using the App, you represent that you meet these requirements and that any information you provide is accurate. We may suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe do not meet these age requirements.

Larka AI is a music-creation and companion application for iOS. Its features include, among others: turning a hum or short recording into a fully produced AI song; AI lyric writing; AI cover-art generation; generation of melodies, stems, and music videos; a "Cover a Song" feature that lets you upload audio or select one of your saved recordings and restyle it; an optional voice-cloning feature that creates a reusable model of your own voice; real-time chord detection; a voice recorder; a chromatic tuner; a metronome; and a chord/scale identification feature ("Listen Mode").

Some features are available at no cost; others require a paid subscription and/or the use of generation credits. AI features rely on third-party providers, and outputs are generated by artificial intelligence (see the AI-Generated Output section). We may add, change, limit, or remove features at any time.

"Your Content" means any material you record, upload, import, type, or otherwise submit to the App — including hums, voice recordings, uploaded or saved audio, lyrics, notes, titles, prompts, and images.

You retain ownership of Your Content. You are solely responsible for it. By submitting Your Content, you represent and warrant that:

— You own Your Content or have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to submit it and to have it processed by the App and our providers;

— For any audio you record, upload, or restyle (including through "Cover a Song"), you own or control both the underlying musical composition and the sound recording, or you have the necessary rights, and your use does not infringe any copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other right of any third party;

— Any voice you submit for voice cloning is your own voice (see the Voice Cloning section); and

— Your Content is not unlawful, defamatory, or otherwise in violation of these Terms.

License to Larka. So that we can operate the Service, you grant Asaf Shevach a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, process, adapt, and create derived audio and files from Your Content and the resulting Output, for the purposes of providing and improving the features you use — including uploading your audio to our infrastructure, sending it to our AI providers to generate results, and enabling playback, stems, videos, caching, and re-generation. This license exists only to run the Service for you and ends when Your Content and Output are deleted, except for residual copies in routine backups and copies our providers retain under their own terms. We do not use the private content of your recordings to train our own foundation models; our AI providers' handling of data is governed by their terms (see the Privacy Policy).

"Output" means the songs, audio, stems, melodies, lyrics, cover art, and videos the App generates for you using third-party AI providers (including Suno via kie.ai for music, and Google and other providers for lyrics and images).

Ownership. As between you and Larka, and to the extent we hold any rights in the Output you generate, we assign those rights to you, so that you own the Output you create, subject to these Terms and to the providers' terms.

Important limitations. You acknowledge and agree that:

— Output is generated by artificial intelligence and is provided on a non-exclusive basis. The same or similar prompts and inputs may produce the same or similar Output for other users, and we make no promise that your Output is unique;

— Output may resemble existing works, styles, or artists, and we do not guarantee that it is free of third-party rights;

— Under current guidance (including from the U.S. Copyright Office), purely AI-generated material may not be protectable by copyright, in whole or in part, and we make no representation that you can obtain or enforce copyright in the Output; and

— We make no warranty as to originality, non-infringement, accuracy, or fitness of the Output for any purpose.

Commercial use. Subject to these Terms and to the applicable providers' terms, you may use the Output you generate for personal and commercial purposes. This permission reflects our current understanding from our AI provider, but the providers' terms control and may change. Before publishing, distributing, monetizing, or registering any Output, you are responsible for confirming you have all necessary rights and for clearing any third-party rights (for example, in any sample, cover, voice, or recognizable work involved). You use Output at your own discretion and risk.

The App offers an optional voice-cloning feature. To use it, you record your voice reading a verification phrase; that recording is sent to our AI provider (kie.ai) to create a reusable voice model tied to your account, which can then be used to generate vocals.

You may only clone your own voice. You must not submit, clone, imitate, or generate the voice of any other person, real or synthetic, and you must not use the feature to impersonate anyone or to create misleading or harmful content. Voice recordings and voice models are treated as sensitive, biometric-adjacent data; see the Privacy Policy for details on how they are processed and stored.

You can delete your voice model at any time from within the App. Deleting it instructs us and our provider to remove the associated model. Misuse of this feature is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination.

We respect intellectual-property rights and expect our users to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and comparable laws.

Designated agent. Send copyright notices to our designated agent: Asaf Shevach, attention "Copyright Agent," at larka.ai.music@gmail.com (mailing address: Warsaw, Poland).

Takedown notice. A valid notice must include: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (3) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Counter-notice. If your material was removed and you believe it was removed in error, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent, including: your signature; identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your contact information and consent to jurisdiction as required by the DMCA.

Repeat infringers. We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

You agree not to:

— Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms or any third-party rights;

— Submit content you do not have the rights to, or clone or imitate another person's voice or likeness;

— Generate content that is infringing, harmful, defamatory, deceptive, hateful, sexually exploitative of minors, or that impersonates others;

— Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the App's source code, or bypass, disable, or interfere with any security, generation-limit, credit, or access control;

— Use the App or its Output in any way that competes with Larka, or resell or redistribute App features, credits, or bulk Output as a substitute service; or

— Use automated means to access the App or place unreasonable load on our systems or our providers.

Free and paid tiers. The App offers a free tier and paid tiers (currently Pro and Studio). Paid tiers are billed monthly or annually. Current tier names, features, generation limits, and prices are shown in the App and at larka-music.com/pricing, and may change as described below.

Purchases through Apple. Paid subscriptions and credit packs are sold as Apple In-App Purchases and billed to your Apple ID. Apple handles payment; we do not receive or store your payment-card details.

Auto-renewal. Paid subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the then-current price for the selected plan. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.

Free trials. If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, and the trial automatically converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before it ends.

Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple, and refunds are governed by Apple's App Store policies. We generally do not provide refunds directly; you must request any refund through Apple, except where a refund is required by law.

Price changes. We may change prices, plans, features, and limits over time. For auto-renewing subscriptions, Apple manages price-change notifications and, where required, will obtain your consent before a new price applies; if you do not agree, your subscription simply will not renew at the new price.

Credits. Some features consume generation credits, which may be included with a tier or purchased as consumable top-up packs. Credits are a limited license to use generation features; they have no cash value, are non-transferable, and are non-refundable except where required by law or Apple's policies. Credits expire as stated at the time of purchase; unused subscription-included credits roll over for one (1) month. Credits are forfeited if your account is terminated for breach of these Terms.

The App, its design, interface, branding, name, logos, and underlying technology are the exclusive property of Asaf Shevach and/or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited rights to use the App and your Output as described in these Terms, nothing here grants you any ownership of, or right in, the App itself.

The App and all Output are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and originality. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, that AI-generated results will meet your expectations, or that Output will be free of third-party rights. Use of the App and Output is at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Asaf Shevach shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the App or Output, including loss of data, loss of revenue, loss of profits, or loss of musical works, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amounts you paid us (or through Apple for the App) in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (US$50). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Asaf Shevach and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content or your Output; (b) your use or misuse of the App; (c) your violation of these Terms or of any third-party right, including intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or voice/likeness rights; or (d) your distribution or commercial use of any Output.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App, your account, or any feature, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or use the App in a way that may cause harm or legal exposure to us or others. We also reserve the right to modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue the App — or any plan, feature, credit, or subscription — in whole or in part, at any time. Upon termination for breach, your right to use the App ceases and any remaining credits are forfeited. Subscription billing, renewals, cancellations, and any refunds remain governed by Apple's App Store terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.

These Terms are between you and Asaf Shevach only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App, and Apple provides no warranty for the App; in the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund any applicable purchase price, to the extent required by the App Store terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, legal or regulatory, or intellectual-property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce these Terms against you. You also represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, through the App. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Poland, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and Asaf Shevach agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Warsaw, Poland for any dispute arising under these Terms, except where mandatory local consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring a claim in the courts of your place of residence.
