Terms of service

This agreement is between you (the visitor or signed-in account holder) and 41Flow Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales under company number 17049682, with its registered office at 50 Princes Street, Ipswich, IP1 1RJ, trading as dissed.io. References to "we," "us," or "dissed" mean 41Flow Ltd.

These terms form a binding contract from the moment you first visit, browse, sign in, or generate anything on dissed.io — whether or not you have created an account.

Your statutory rights come first. Nothing in these terms removes or restricts statutory rights you have under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 or equivalent EEA consumer law. If a clause here conflicts with a right you cannot waive, the statutory right wins for that clause.

dissed.io is a tool that uses AI models to generate short "diss-track" songs naming a target you choose, including lyrics, audio, and cover art. Outputs are produced by third-party models (currently Anthropic, MiniMax, Black Forest Labs, and Replicate); they are not human-performed, not endorsed by the target, and are parody and satire by intent.

dissed is not a deepfake platform. We do not clone voices, faces, or any other biometric identifier of any real person. The privacy policy goes deeper on this in section 03 (track targets — when you name someone else).

dissed is 18+ only. By using the service you affirm that you are at least 18 years of age and that you have full legal capacity to enter into this contract. We may suspend or terminate accounts of users we believe to be under 18 and delete their content (this mirrors privacy s.09).

You must use a real, working email address at sign-up. We don't provide service to anyone resident in or located in any country where the service is illegal, or to anyone on a UK, EU, UN, or US comprehensive sanctions list (see s.04a for the explicit warranty).

• One account per person. You're responsible for activity on your account; keep your sign-in safe and don't share it.
• Authentication is handled by Clerk; their handling of credentials is described in our privacy policy.

By using dissed you represent and warrant to us that:

• You are 18 or older and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.
• The information you give us at sign-up (email, name) is accurate and yours.
• You are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or a national of any country subject to UK, EU, UN, or US comprehensive sanctions (e.g. North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, the Crimea/DNR/LNR regions of Ukraine), and you are not on the UK OFSI consolidated list, the EU consolidated sanctions list, or the US OFAC SDN list.
• For each target you name in a track, where consent or other rights are required by applicable law, you have them. We mention this because some jurisdictions — California, New York, France, and Germany among others — give individuals stronger rights over the commercial or public use of their name and likeness than UK common law does; those rights may apply even if everyone involved is in the UK when the track is made.
• Anything you upload (input images, prompts, custom text) is yours to upload and doesn't infringe a third party's rights.
• You won't use the service for anything illegal where you live, where the target lives, or where the service is delivered from.

The in-app "Real talk" dialog summarises this in one line; here's the long version. You must not use dissed to create, share, or distribute content that:

1. Targets a minor — anyone under 18 named or identifiable as the target of a track.
2. Threatens violence, incites harm, or constitutes harassment, stalking, or doxxing of an identifiable person.
3. Uses slurs or attacks a person on the basis of a protected characteristic — race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, sex, or any other ground protected under the UK Equality Act 2010.
4. Is sexual content involving real, identifiable people, or any sexual content involving (or implying) minors.
5. Impersonates a real person in a way designed to mislead — for example, claiming to be them, putting words in their mouth as if they really said them, or faking an endorsement.
6. Defames an identifiable person — false statements of fact presented as true. (Pointed parody and clearly fictional exaggeration are not defamatory; presenting a fabrication as real news is.)
7. Reveals private personal data about the target — home address, phone number, medical information, immigration status, or any combination of facts that effectively identifies them in a way they have not made public.
8. Infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.
9. Promotes self-harm, terrorism, child sexual abuse material, or anything else that's illegal where you live or where the service is delivered from.
10. Bypasses any rule above through obvious workarounds — misspellings, leetspeak, references that read as the prohibited target in context, or splitting a single banned act across multiple tracks.

You also must not: scrape, reverse-engineer, or attempt to rate-limit-bust the service; resell access; use automated tools to generate content at scale beyond normal personal use; or attempt to extract training data from the underlying models.

Parody is fine; punching down isn't. dissed is built for the group-chat roast — content that the target is reasonably likely to find funny, even if pointed. If a track wouldn't survive being shown to the target's face, it doesn't survive our content rules either.

• A diss track is built around a target: a name the creator types, often a third party who hasn't signed up to dissed.
• That third party can request takedown without an account via the Report this track link in the footer of every share page. See the takedown policy.
• Confirmed reports hide the share page immediately. A human reviews within 24 hours and either upholds the removal (audio permanently purged from storage 30 days later) or restores the track.
• Three-strike rule. A creator with three upheld takedowns is automatically suspended pending manual review. Suspended creators can appeal in-app and to hello@41flow.co.uk.
• We may remove content proactively at any time, with or without notice, where we reasonably believe it breaks the AUP, breaks the law, or exposes us or another user to risk.

A substantive disclosure block — required by the EU Digital Services Act and the UK Online Safety Act 2023, and worth reading if you want to know how moderation actually works on dissed.

• Our role. We are a hosting service for user-generated content within the meaning of the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) and a user-to-user service within the meaning of the UK Online Safety Act 2023.
• Illegal-content reporting. Anyone — account holder, target, or third party — can report illegal content via the Report this track flow on every share page (see the takedown policy). For illegal content not on a share page, email hello@41flow.co.uk. We act on illegal-content reports without undue delay.
• How we moderate. Moderation is reactive: we act on takedown reports, in-app flags, and our own observations. We don't currently rely on any automated decision system to remove content — every uphold or dismiss in the takedown flow is reviewed by a human (this mirrors privacy s.11a on automated decision-making).
• How we apply these rules (DSA Art. 14(1)). We apply and enforce the AUP and these terms diligently, objectively, and proportionately, with due regard to the fundamental rights of recipients of the service — including freedom of expression and the freedom to make pointed parody of public figures.
• Statement of reasons (DSA Art. 17). When we restrict your content — hide a share page, suspend an account, refuse to deliver a generation — we tell you which clause of these terms or which AUP rule we acted on, who initiated the action (a takedown reporter, a user complaint, our own review, or a legal order), whether the decision was automated (it isn't), and how to appeal. This statement appears on the affected track in your studio or, for account-level actions, in the email we send.
• Internal appeals (DSA Art. 20). A creator whose track has been taken down can appeal in-app. Suspended creators can appeal to hello@41flow.co.uk. Appeals are reviewed by a human, free of charge, and decided within a reasonable time.
• Out-of-court dispute settlement (DSA Art. 21). If you're a recipient of the service in the EU and you've exhausted our internal appeal, you may bring the dispute to a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body in your member state. We will engage in good faith, but the body's decision is non-binding on us.
• Repeat-infringer policy (DSA Art. 23(1)). Three upheld takedowns auto-suspend the creator pending manual review (s.06 above). This is our public, prospective policy on misuse.
• Defamation Act 2013, s.5 (operator-of-website defence). The takedown procedure in the takedown policy is the notice-of-complaint mechanism contemplated by s.5 of the Defamation Act 2013. If you have a defamation complaint about a track, file a takedown report — that's the route the statute provides and the route we honour.
• Children's risk (Online Safety Act). dissed is 18+ only by terms (s.03) and our public marketing reflects that. We currently rely on age self-attestation rather than third-party age verification, which we believe is proportionate for a service of this size and risk profile, but we reserve the right to introduce stronger checks if regulator guidance requires.

• The currency of dissed is the track. Each track lets you create one music generation — one song with its cover art included at no extra cost. The cost is shown in the app at the moment you generate.
• Tracks are sold in packs of 1 or 3 through Polar (our merchant of record). Pack prices vary by region and are localised in your currency where supported (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD). The exact amount you pay is shown at checkout before you confirm.
• Prices, taxes (where Polar collects them), and currency conversion are shown at checkout. Polar invoices you and handles VAT or sales tax where applicable; the receipt you receive is from Polar, not directly from us.
• Price binding. The price you pay is the price displayed at the moment you complete checkout. We may change prospective prices and pack sizes at any time without prior notice — changes affect only purchases made after the change. Tracks already credited to your balance keep their original power.
• Tracks don't expire while your account is open. They are non-transferable between accounts (other than via a gift link we issue) and have no cash value. They aren't a stored-value instrument or financial product.
• Failed generations are automatically refunded to your balance as track credit, visible in your transaction history at /balance.
• Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute through your card issuer or bank for a charge that wasn't fraudulent or erroneous, we may suspend your account, void the disputed pack, and reverse any tracks that pack added to your balance, pending resolution. We always prefer that you contact hello@41flow.co.uk first.

For digital content, the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the EU Consumer Rights Directive give you a 14-day cooling-off period starting on the day you complete a track-pack purchase. You can cancel any pack within that window for any reason — change of mind included.

To exercise it, email hello@41flow.co.uk within 14 days of your purchase. We'll refund the pack via Polar to your original payment method, less the value of any tracks from that pack you've already spent. Any tracks still credited from a refunded pack are removed from your balance.

After 14 days have passed, we don't offer refunds — including for unused tracks, change of mind, dissatisfaction with a generated track, or account suspension we issue for AUP breaches. This doesn't affect your statutory rights for faulty digital content under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (Chapter 3); if a generation breaches the digital-content quality, fitness, or description rights, email hello@41flow.co.uk and we'll investigate.

We always refund duplicate or clearly erroneous charges, and any generation that fails on our side is automatically credited back to your balance (s.07).

• A creator (or, for promotional gifts, us) can mint a gift link that grants a recipient a fixed number of tracks once they sign in.
• Gift links expire on the date shown when minted; one claim per account; non-transferable; no cash value.
• We may revoke unclaimed gift links at any time without notice if abuse is suspected.

• You own what you write. The prompts, names, drafts, and any text you type stay yours.
• Generated outputs. Subject to the licence terms of the underlying model providers (Anthropic, MiniMax, Black Forest Labs, Replicate), as between you and us we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to listen to, download, and share the audio, cover, and lyrics of tracks you generate, for personal and non-commercial purposes only.
• What's allowed: sharing in group chats; posting to a personal social account that isn't directly monetised through a per-post creator-payment programme; playing at a private event; sending to friends; embedding in a hobby YouTube channel or Twitch stream that isn't itself a paid sponsorship vehicle.
• What's not allowed: uploading to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, TikTok Sounds, or any other DSP / streaming distributor; using the track in advertising or in any sponsored / branded content; selling merchandise that incorporates it; using it as background music for a paid commercial production; sub-licensing it to anyone else for any of the above.
• "Commercial" definition. A use is commercial if you receive (or expect to receive) money, sponsorship, paid promotion, or material business advantage directly tied to that specific use of the track. Ad revenue earned by the platform on which you posted (e.g. ordinary YouTube monetisation on a hobby channel) doesn't make your use commercial; a brand sponsorship that picks the track because of the track does. When in doubt, ask hello@41flow.co.uk before you publish.
• The licence you grant us. To run the service we need permission to host, display, transcode, back up, generate cover art for, and (where you've shared it) publicly serve your tracks. By generating or uploading, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to do those things, for as long as the content is on the service. The licence ends when you delete the track (or we do).
• Sub-processors and their licences. Generating necessarily transmits your prompt and lyrics to the third-party model providers listed in the privacy policy under their own terms. Some of those providers may use anonymised inputs to improve their models — we name MiniMax explicitly in privacy s.07 because their policy is the most expansive.
• Aggregated and de-identified data about how the service is used (no prompt or lyric text) may be retained and used by us indefinitely for analytics and to improve the product (this mirrors privacy s.08a).
• No training-data warranty. AI outputs may be similar to other outputs the model has produced for other users, or to material in the model's training data. We do not warrant that any output is unique, original, or non-infringing — see s.13.

The honest position. Copyright authorship in purely AI-generated audio, cover art, and lyrics is unsettled. Under the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 s.9(3) and s.178, computer-generated works carry a 50-year term and the "author" is the person who made the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work — which could plausibly be us, you, or no one. Other jurisdictions (including the United States) currently take the position that purely AI-generated content is not copyrightable at all.

What we do. We make no claim to copyright in the audio, cover art, or lyrics that you generate, and to the extent we hold any rights in them — under CDPA s.9(3) or otherwise — we hereby assign those rights to you on the date the generation completes, subject to (a) our service-operation licence above, so we can keep hosting the track while it's on dissed, and (b) the personal-use licence in s.10, which constrains what you can do with the output regardless of who, if anyone, holds copyright in it.

What we don't promise. We don't promise the output is copyrightable; we don't promise you can register it with a copyright office; we don't promise it is unique versus another user's generation or versus the model's training data. The personal-use licence in s.10 is what actually constrains what you and anyone else can do with the track on dissed.

• Tracks are private by default. Until you choose to share, only you (signed in) can see the track in your studio.
• Sharing flips the track to a public URL at /track/[id]. Anyone with the URL can listen, view the cover, and download the MP3. Share pages are noindex by default, so they aren't crawled and ranked by search engines.
• A confirmed takedown immediately replaces the share page with a removed-track page; if upheld, audio is permanently deleted from R2 storage 30 days later.
• No recommender system. We don't operate a feed, ranking, or recommendation engine. The only way one user's track reaches another person is via a URL the creator chooses to share. DSA Art. 27 does not apply to us because we have no recommender to disclose.

Tracks generated on dissed are AI-generated within the meaning of EU AI Act Art. 50. Every share page, and its OG metadata, clearly identify the track as AI-generated to anyone landing on it. The Art. 50(2) machine-readable marking duty for the underlying audio, image, and text outputs sits with the AI system providers (MiniMax for audio, Black Forest Labs for cover art, Anthropic for lyrics) rather than with us as deployer; we don't add our own watermark on top of theirs.

• You can leave any time. Sign in, delete your tracks, and request account deletion at hello@41flow.co.uk. Your account, music and image generations, lyrics drafts, and chat threads are deleted on the timeline described in privacy s.08, with the audit-log carve-outs noted there.
• We can suspend or terminate if (a) you breach these terms or the AUP; (b) you accumulate three upheld takedowns; (c) you initiate a chargeback we determine in good faith was not warranted; (d) we're required to by law; or (e) we permanently shut the service down.
• No refunds on termination for cause. If you're terminated under (a) – (c) above, unused tracks are forfeited.
• What survives. Sections that by their nature should survive — licences you've granted us in shared content while it's still up, the indemnity, the liability cap, governing law, and the consumer-rights savings clause — survive termination.

Subject to your statutory rights as a consumer — including the digital-content quality, fitness, and description rights in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (Chapter 3), which continue to apply in full to anything you bought from us — we make no additional warranties about the service or the outputs you generate. In particular, we don't warrant that outputs are unique, original, accurate, true, fit for any particular non-statutory purpose, suitable for distribution beyond personal use, or free of resemblance to other works; nor that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any specific time.

AI-generated content may produce results that are unexpected, offensive, or factually wrong. Treat outputs as creative parody, not as factual statements about the target. You are responsible for deciding whether a track is one you should actually share, and with whom.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits any warranty, condition, or term that cannot be excluded or limited under UK law. Any conflict between this section and a statutory consumer right resolves in your favour.

Carve-outs first. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) any liability that cannot be limited under UK law; or (d) for consumers, your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Subject to those carve-outs, our total aggregate liability to you arising out of or in connection with the service or these terms is capped at the greater of (i) the total fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) £100.

We are not liable for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential losses; loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, or data; or damages caused by content posted by another user, by a target's reaction, or by a third-party platform's response to a track you shared with them.

You agree to indemnify and hold 41Flow Ltd harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising out of:

• content you generate or upload that breaches the AUP or any law;
• targets, names, or facts you supply that turn out to defame, harass, or infringe a third party;
• your distribution of a track beyond the personal-use licence in s.10.

We'll let you know promptly about any covered claim, give you reasonable control of the defence, and you agree not to settle anything that admits fault on our part without our written consent. As a matter of UK consumer-protection law, this clause is restricted in scope where required and doesn't apply to claims arising from our own breach.

Our handling of personal data is described in the privacy policy; cookie and browser-storage specifics live in the cookie policy. Short version: 41Flow Ltd is the controller, we don't sell personal data, and we don't profile users for advertising — the full sub-processor list and the lawful bases for each category of processing live in privacy.

• We are still building dissed and may add, change, or remove features — including model providers, pack sizes, per-track pricing, the gift-link mechanic, and the studio mode — without notice.
• Where a change materially reduces the value of tracks already in your balance, we'll do something proportionate (top-up adjustment, equivalent replacement) before the change takes effect.

• We update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page on every change.
• For material changes — a new restriction on use, a change to the refund position, a change to the licence in s.10 — we'll show an in-app banner on your next visit before the change takes effect (the same mechanism described in privacy s.12) and, where the change is one a reasonable user would object to, give you at least 14 days to decline by closing your account.
• Continued use after the effective date counts as acceptance.

• These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
• Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
• Consumers in the UK retain the right to bring proceedings in their local courts; consumers in the EEA have the right to bring proceedings under the law of their country of residence where mandatory consumer-protection law gives them that right. The jurisdiction clause above applies only as far as those mandatory rights allow.

• Severability. If any clause is unenforceable, the rest stands.
• No waiver. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. Any waiver must be in writing to be effective.
• No oral modification. These terms can only be varied by us through the change-of-terms procedure in s.18, or by a written agreement signed by both parties. Anything anyone says to you in chat, on social media, or by email outside that procedure does not change the contract.
• Assignment. You can't assign these terms; we can assign to a successor entity (corporate sale, restructure) on notice.
• Entire agreement. These terms, plus the privacy, cookies, and takedown policies, are the whole agreement between you and us; they replace the placeholder terms previously published.
• Notices. Email is fine. Ours is hello@41flow.co.uk; yours is the email on your Clerk account.

• Force majeure. Neither side is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond reasonable control — outages of upstream service providers, DNS or registry incidents, internet backbone failures, denial-of-service attacks, government action, war, civil unrest, pandemics, fire, flood, or industrial disputes. Affected obligations are suspended for the duration of the event. If the event lasts longer than 30 days, either side may terminate by notice.
• Third-party rights. A person who is not a party to these terms has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any clause, except that 41Flow Ltd's affiliates and successors may enforce the licence in s.10, the indemnity in s.15, and the liability cap in s.14.
• No partnership or agency. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and us.
• Feedback licence. If you send us feature suggestions, bug reports, or other feedback, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable licence to use that feedback without restriction or obligation. We don't owe you compensation, attribution, or confidentiality for unsolicited ideas.
• Headings. Section headings are for navigation only and don't affect interpretation.
• Language. These terms are in English. Any translation we provide is for convenience; the English version controls.

For anything related to these terms — questions, takedown appeals beyond the in-app flow, statutory data-subject requests, or general support — email hello@41flow.co.uk. That inbox is also our designated single point of contact for authorities and recipients of the service under the EU Digital Services Act (Art. 11 and 12).
