Terms of Service

The rules for using Voices.az: your account, balance and payments, prohibited use, voice cloning, intellectual property, and the liability of both parties.

Last updated:

1. General provisions

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern the relationship between "Learning Machine" LLC, Baku, Azerbaijan, which provides the Voices.az service, and the person using that service (the "User").

By registering or using the service the User accepts these Terms in full. If you do not agree with them, do not use the service. The processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

The service may be used for lawful purposes only. Creating harmful or dangerous material of any kind, using the service for religious or political purposes, and creating material that breaches the laws of the Republic of Azerbaijan are strictly prohibited — see section 3, "Prohibited use". A breach of that section leads to a permanent ban of the account with no refund of the balance.

The service may be used by persons aged 18 or over; users under 18 need the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

2. Account and API key

  • You must provide accurate and up-to-date information when registering.
  • You are responsible for keeping your password and API keys confidential. Everything done through your account or key is treated as done by you.
  • If you suspect that a key has become known to a third party, revoke it in the panel immediately and tell us at [email protected].
  • Creating multiple accounts in order to claim free allowances repeatedly is not allowed.

3. Prohibited use

The service is intended for lawful purposes only. It must not be used to create harmful or dangerous material of any kind. The following are expressly prohibited:

  • use for religious or political purposes: propaganda, agitation, election or party campaigning, religious preaching, religious appeals and incitement to religious hatred;
  • creating any material that breaches the laws of the Republic of Azerbaijan;
  • creating material that is offensive to the public or that degrades anyone's honour and dignity;
  • any propaganda of prohibited organisations, ideas or beliefs;
  • creating content that incites violence or hatred, promotes terrorism or harms children;
  • impersonation and deception by means of cloned voices, including imitating a real person's voice without their consent;
  • producing deepfakes, fake news, or material for fraud or blackmail;
  • infringing copyright, other intellectual property rights or the privacy of third parties;
  • sending spam, running automated calling campaigns or engaging in other deceptive practices;
  • compromising the technical integrity of the service: deliberately exceeding load limits, circumventing protection mechanisms or reverse-engineering the code.

Consequences of a breach. A breach of this section leads to a permanent ban of the account without prior notice. Any remaining balance, including unspent top-ups, is not refunded, and the account cannot be restored. Where the law requires it, we also report the breach to the competent authorities.

4. The services

Voices.az provides the following AI-based services: text-to-speech voice-over, speech-to-text, video dubbing, voice cloning and a website-reader widget. The list of services, their features and their technical parameters may evolve.

Results are produced by automated algorithms. We do not guarantee any particular artistic, commercial or translation quality; checking the finished material before using it is the User's responsibility.

5. Prices, balance and payment

  • The service works on a prepaid balance model: you top up your balance and the cost of each service is deducted from it.
  • Prices are published on the site and are calculated per minute. For dubbing, the charge is based on the duration of speech in the video.
  • Payments are accepted in Azerbaijani manat (AZN) through the Kapital Bank payment page. Card details are handled by the bank and are not stored in our systems.
  • The dubbing section may include free preview and free render allowances; their size is stated on the site and may change.
  • We may change prices. New prices apply only to orders placed after the change; funds already credited to your balance remain valid.

6. Refunds

Your balance is a prepayment for the services, and a charge is made for each completed generation. Once a result has been generated and made available for download, the charge is final and is not refundable — regardless of whether the artistic quality of the result met your expectations.

A generation that fails through a fault of the service is not charged, and any amount already deducted is credited back to your balance automatically. An unused balance is refunded on written request made within 14 days of the top-up, to the same card that was used for it, less the payment provider's fee. Promotional and bonus credit is never refundable under any circumstances. No refund is made after an account has been banned for a breach of section 3, "Prohibited use".

If a service was not delivered because of a technical failure, or an incorrect amount was deducted from your balance, we return the funds to your balance on request. Write to [email protected].

7. Voice cloning

By uploading a sample for voice cloning you confirm that the voice is your own, or that its owner has given explicit consent to it being synthesised and used. We may ask for documents evidencing that consent. Voice models created without consent, and the material produced from them, are deleted and the account is closed.

8. Rented voices

The catalogue may include voices of speakers who rent their voice out. Use of such voices is limited by the licence granted by the voice owner: the term, territory and permitted purposes follow the terms agreed with the voice owner at the moment the voice is published or rented out, as shown in the panel. A separate voice-rental agreement may be introduced later. Use in breach of that licence is prohibited.

9. Intellectual property

  • Your material. You keep the rights to the text, audio and video you upload. You grant us only a non-exclusive licence to the extent needed to fulfil your order (processing, storage, delivery of the result).
  • Results. Once paid for in full, the audio, transcripts, translations and dubbed video created for you may be used freely, including commercially, provided you comply with sections 3 and 8 of these Terms.
  • Our material. The service's software, interface, voice library and models belong to us or to the respective rights holders. Copying them, reverse-engineering them or using them in another product is not permitted.

10. Service availability

The service is provided "as is" and we make reasonable efforts to keep it running without interruption. No separate availability guarantee (SLA) applies to self-service plans. We try to announce planned maintenance in advance. For corporate customers an SLA can be agreed separately.

11. Limitation of liability

We are not liable for indirect losses, lost profit or damage to business reputation arising from use of the service. In all cases our aggregate liability is limited to the total amount paid by the User in the three months preceding the event, and in no circumstances exceeds that amount.

The User is responsible for the lawfulness of the content created and for respecting the rights of third parties.

12. Termination

You may close your account at any time by writing to [email protected]. We may suspend access to an account in the event of a breach of these Terms, a payment dispute or harm caused to the service. After an account is closed, projects and files are deleted within the periods set out in the Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms. We announce material changes on this page or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the new version.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The parties seek to settle disputes by negotiation; failing agreement, a dispute is referred to the competent courts of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
