Terms of Service

1. What Sonik does

Sonik generates music from a text description you provide. Every track is produced by an artificial intelligence model. Nothing you receive is performed or recorded by a human musician, and every output carries embedded provenance metadata identifying it as AI-generated. That disclosure is applied to all tiers and cannot be removed or waived by purchase.

2. Credits

Sonik is prepaid. You buy credits and spend them per track; prices in credits are shown before each generation and confirmed before anything is charged. Credits do not expire.

Credits are not money, cannot be transferred between accounts, and cannot be exchanged for cash. If a generation fails, the credits held for it are released automatically and you are not charged.

Where a payment is taken and credits are not delivered, we will grant the credits or refund the payment. Beyond that, purchased credits are non-refundable once spent on a completed track, because the cost of producing it has already been incurred.

3. What you may do with a track

What you may do depends on the tier you bought, and only the tiers listed as available on the pricing page may currently be purchased.

• Personal — personal, non-commercial use only. You may share it, but not monetise it or use it to promote a business.
• Creator — you may use the track commercially, including in monetised video, podcasts and social media. (not currently available for purchase)
• Pro/Studio — you may use the track commercially, including in monetised video, podcasts and social media. (not currently available for purchase)

The rights we grant are the rights we hold. Sonik generates music through third-party AI providers, and grants you the rights it holds under its agreements with those providers — no more. We do not warrant that the model which produced your track was trained on licensed material, and we make no representation about the ownership of the data behind it. Litigation over AI training data is ongoing across this industry and its outcome is not within our control.

The licence granted to a track is fixed at the moment it is generated, under the version of these terms in force then. Changing these terms later does not alter what was granted to a track you already have.

4. What you may not ask for

You may not ask Sonik to imitate a named recording artist, recreate an existing song, or reproduce an identifiable performer’s voice or style. Our providers refuse these requests, so such a prompt will fail rather than produce anything.

You may not use Sonik to produce material that is unlawful, that harasses or defames a person, or that presents a generated track as a genuine recording by someone who did not make it.

5. Voice recordings

Where Sonik offers voice features, it clones only the voice of the person operating the account, never a third party, and only after that person records themselves speaking a phrase we issue. See the privacy notice for how those recordings are stored, how long they are kept, and how to withdraw consent.

6. Availability

Sonik depends on third-party AI providers and may be unavailable or degraded when they are. We do not offer a service-level guarantee. Where a provider refuses or fails a generation, your credits are released.

7. Changes and earlier versions

We may change these terms. The version in force when a track is generated is recorded against that track and continues to govern it.

Tracks generated before version 2026-10-27 carry a version string that predates publication of this document. No commercial rights were sold before this date — only the personal, non-commercial tier was ever available — and those tracks are governed by the personal-use terms in section 3.
