1. Acceptance of Terms.
1.1. These Terms apply only to Advertisers. These Terms apply to you when you choose to use Narrativ as an advertiser, typically by creating an advertiser account ("Advertiser"). We have different terms for people who use Narrativ to synthesize and license their own voice ("Talent").
1.2. Our Agreement with Advertisers. These Advertiser Terms of Service (these "Terms") form a contract between you and Narrativ, Inc. ("Narrativ", "we" or "us") governing your use of the Service in your capacity as an Advertiser ("you"). By accepting these Terms or by accessing or using the Service as an Advertiser you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. In these Terms, we refer to all users of the Service—whether Talent, Advertiser or otherwise—as "Users." The Service collects and processes personal information from Users as described in our Privacy Policy at https://narrativ.ai/privacy-policy.
1.3. Eligibility. You must be 18 or older to use the Service. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, business or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority and all rights necessary (A) to bind that legal entity to these Terms and (B) "you" refers both to that legal entity and to you, as a user of the Service. If you lack such authority, you must not create an account or otherwise use the Service in the legal entity's name. Upon Narrativ's request, you must provide any documentation we request to verify that you have the authority and all rights necessary to represent such individual or entity and to grant the rights as set forth in these Terms.
1.4. These Terms don't govern your direct commercial relationship with Talent. If you want to license a Voice Model from Talent, the Service facilitates your ability to reach an agreement with Talent quickly. But, to be clear, these Terms do not form an agreement between you and Talent, and Narrativ is not and will not be party to any agreement you enter with Talent, except where the agreement specifies otherwise.
1.5. Updates. Narrativ may change these Terms from time to time by updating the Last Updated date above We will try to notify you if we make material changes, such as by emailing the address you specify in your Account or by posting a notice on the Site, at least fourteen (14) days before the updated version becomes effective. You can review the most current version of these Terms at any time at https://narrativ.ai/terms-and-conditions. The current version of these Terms will apply as of the Last Updated date above, and if you use the Service after that date, your use will constitute acceptance of the revised terms and conditions. If any change to these Terms is not acceptable to you, your only remedy is stop using the Service and send a cancellation email to support@narrativ.ai.
1.6. Important. If you do not or cannot agree with anything in these Terms, now or in the future, you may not use the Service and must cancel any Account by sending a cancellation email to support@narrativ.ai.

2.1. About the Service. As used in these Terms, the "Service" includes:

2.3. Using the Service. As an advertiser, you can try out Voice Models and use them to create audio ads ("Audio Ads"). You'll need to buy rights to use or commercialize Audio Ads. To do that, you'll use the information in the applicable Talent Profile to make a proposal on a potential agreement with Talent governing your Audio Ads and, to the extent applicable, otherwise licensing Talent's likeness to you (any, a "Talent-Advertiser Agreement").
2.4. Your Materials. You are solely responsible for all photos, images, videos, graphics, written content, code, data, information, feedback, suggestions, text, and other materials that you upload, post, deliver, provide, store or otherwise transmit in connection with or relating to the Service (collectively with any Audio Ads you create, "Your Materials").

These rights will survive any expiration or termination of these Terms.
3. Content, Ads and Talent.
3.1. Narrativ's primary role with respect to your engagement of Talent is to facilitate your ability to reach a Talent–Advertiser Agreement. In some cases, a specific type or form of contract is required, such as where Talent has provided a form of agreement or indicated that a guild or union contract must be used to license their Voice Model ("Guild Licenses"). Where a Guild License applies to you, Narrativ or an Advertiser, it controls over these Terms to the extent the Guild License and these Terms conflict.
3.2. Guild Licenses. You acknowledge that certain Voice Models and Audio Ads may only be created and/or used pursuant to a Guild License. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any Guild License, the Guild License will control to the extent of the conflict. You acknowledge that Guild Licenses may (i) require you to contract with third parties, in lieu of or in addition to Talent, (ii) restrict, limit or condition the use and dissemination of your Audio Ads, (iii) carry minimum and ongoing payment obligations to Narrativ or third parties, (iv) require you to take commercially reasonable steps to ensure the security of any your Audio Ads and/or (v) be subject to third-party administration and rules, as indicated at the time of your purchase of the Guild License. Further, if you are not a signatory to an agreement with the applicable Guild (or have not specified that to us, as described under 'Accounts' at Section 2.2), then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section 3.4), the Guild License may provide that Narrativ retains ownership and title in and to any rights in respect of the applicable Audio Ads, until your payment obligations have been fully satisfied or performance rights have exhausted or any other circumstance described in the Guild License, at which point Narrativ will assign its retained title and ownership rights to you, in each case as described in the Guild License.
3.3. You acknowledge and agree that Narrativ is not responsible for any of your Audio Ads. You are responsible for Your Materials, your Audio Ads (including descriptions, defects, required legal disclosures, regulatory compliance, offers or promotional content, and compliance with any applicable laws or regulations). You represent and warrant that Your Materials will be true, accurate, and complete, and will not violate any applicable laws, regulations, or rights of third parties.
3.4. Except as otherwise agreed by Narrativ, you remain responsible for Your Materials, all aspects of the transactions and interactions between you and Talent, your relationships and arrangements with Advertisers (including Talent-Advertiser Agreements), your promotion or marketing of Audio Ads. This includes, but is not limited to, communicating with Talent and negotiating Talent-Advertiser Agreements through the Service, confirming that payments have been received by Talent and otherwise complying with your obligations under these Terms, any Talent-Advertiser Agreement(s), including any Guild License(s).
3.5. Other than incorporating technology designed to monitor usage of Audio Ads, Narrativ does not monitor or investigate any other potential or actual use or exploitations of Talent voices or likenesses outside of the Service. Many voices share vocal attributes, and audio may be misconstrued or mistaken as incorporating a particular voice. However, we take copyright infringement seriously.

We reserve the right to change the Fees. If Narrativ does change any Fees, Narrativ will provide notice of the change on the Site or in email to you, at Narrativ's option, at least 14 days before the change is to take effect.
