Terms of Service.

01

Agreeing to these terms

These terms apply to your use of jzcreates.com and any pages, forms, videos and articles on it (together, the “site”). The site is run by JZ Creates LLC (“JZ Creates”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

By using the site, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

02

Using the site

You may use the site for lawful, personal and business research purposes. When you do, please don’t:

• Break the law, or help anyone else break it.
• Try to access parts of the site or our systems that aren’t meant to be public, or interfere with how the site works.
• Upload or send anything harmful, such as malware, spam, or content that is abusive, defamatory or infringes someone else’s rights.
• Copy, scrape or download our content in bulk, other than through normal search engine indexing.
• Pretend to be someone else, or misrepresent your connection to a person or company.

We may suspend or block access to the site for anyone who doesn’t follow these rules.

03

Our content and work

The videos, images, animations, copy, design, code and other material on the site, including our name and logo, are owned by JZ Creates or used with permission from our clients and partners. They are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.

You’re welcome to view our work, share links to it, and embed our videos using the share tools YouTube and other platforms provide. You may not copy, download, edit, resell or use our work in your own projects, ads or AI training data without our written permission.

Brands in our portfolio

Our portfolio includes work made for clients and self-initiated concept pieces created to show what we can do. Brand names, logos and products that appear in our work belong to their owners. Showing them does not mean those brands endorse us or are affiliated with us, unless we say so.

04

How we use AI

We use generative AI for images, video, voice, music, 3D and environments, alongside traditional production, and always under human creative direction. Some of the work on this site is fully or partly AI-generated. People, places, products and events shown in that work may be fictional or stylized, and should not be read as real events or as statements made by any real person or brand.

AI law is still being written, and we hold ourselves to these standards on every project:

• No borrowed work. We don’t use other people’s copyrighted work, such as artwork, photography, footage, music or characters, as inputs or references for generation. The only exceptions are material we own, material we have licensed, and material a client supplies and has the rights to use.
• No real likenesses without consent. We don’t generate the face, body or voice of a real, identifiable person unless the client has confirmed in writing that the person (or whoever controls their rights) has given permission for that use. AI-generated characters are fictional. If one turns out to closely resemble a real person, we’ll change it on request.
• No voice cloning without consent. We only create a synthetic version of a real person’s voice with that person’s written permission.
• Commercially licensed tools. We use AI tools under plans whose terms allow commercial use, and where a tool lets us, we switch off the use of client material for model training.
• Human review. Every deliverable is directed, edited and checked by our team before it reaches you.
• Honest labeling. We follow the AI disclosure rules of the platforms we publish on, and we never create fake reviews, testimonials or endorsements.

What no one can promise yet

AI models are trained by the companies that build them, on data those companies don’t fully disclose. We choose our tools carefully, but we can’t see or control what a third-party model was trained on, and the law on AI training, authorship and output is still changing. We’ll keep our practices up to date as it does.

05

Working with us

When you hire us, the project is governed by the proposal, statement of work or services agreement we both sign. That agreement covers scope, pricing, timelines, ownership of deliverables and usage rights. If it conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement wins.

Descriptions of our services on the site are general. A quote or price only becomes binding once it is set out in a signed agreement.

Your part on AI projects

• What you give us. You confirm you have the rights to the logos, products, photos, footage, music, scripts and other references you supply, and the written consent of any real person whose likeness or voice you ask us to use.
• Approvals. You review and approve every deliverable before it is published. You’re responsible for checking that product claims, offers and disclosures are accurate and suitable for your industry.
• Publishing. You decide where, how and for how long the work runs, and you’re responsible for meeting the advertising rules and AI labeling requirements of those channels.

Ownership of AI-generated work

When a project is paid in full, we transfer to you whatever rights we hold in the final deliverables, as set out in your agreement. Copyright offices and courts, including the US Copyright Office, currently treat purely AI-generated material as not protected by copyright. Elements shaped by human creative choices, such as direction, editing, compositing and arrangement, may be protected. That means some AI-generated parts of a deliverable may not be exclusively ownable by anyone.

Responsibility for AI-generated work

To the fullest extent the law allows, and unless your signed agreement says otherwise, JZ Creates is not responsible for claims, disputes or losses that arise from:

• Materials, references, likenesses, voices, trademarks or instructions you supplied or approved.
• How, where or how long you publish the work, including your advertising claims and campaign targeting.
• Changes made to the work by you or anyone else after delivery.
• The training data or behavior of third-party AI tools, which we don’t control.
• Changes in law, regulation or platform policy after the work is delivered.

You agree to cover the reasonable costs of any claim brought against us that results from the points above. Our total responsibility for any project will never be more than the fees you paid us for that project. Nothing in these terms limits responsibility that the law doesn’t allow to be limited.

06

What you send us

When you send us a message, brief or files through the site, you confirm that you have the right to share them. We’ll use them to respond to you and, if we work together, to deliver your project. Please don’t send confidential material through our forms or chat before we’ve agreed to receive it.

If you send us ideas or feedback about our site or services, we’re free to use them to improve what we do, with no obligation to you.

07

Links, ads and affiliates

The site links to other websites and uses third-party tools, such as YouTube, social platforms, and our booking and form provider. We don’t control those services and aren’t responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

Some of our articles show ads served by Google and include affiliate links. If you buy something through an affiliate link, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend tools we think are worth your time.

08

Articles and videos

Our articles, videos and guides share ideas, techniques and opinions for general information and inspiration. They are not legal, financial or other professional advice. AI tools and platforms change quickly, so features, prices and results may differ from what we describe. Results from any strategy or tool will vary.

09

Disclaimers

We work hard to keep the site accurate and running smoothly, but it is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don’t promise that the site will always be available, error-free or free of viruses.

10

Limits on liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, JZ Creates and its owners, team members and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site. This applies whatever the legal theory, even if we were told such damages were possible.

If you’re unhappy with the site or these terms, your only remedy is to stop using the site. Some places don’t allow these kinds of limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11

Indemnity

If you misuse the site or break these terms and that leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable costs, damages and legal fees that result, to the extent the law allows.

12

Resolving disputes

If something goes wrong, please email us first. Most issues can be sorted out quickly and informally.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law rules. If we can’t resolve a dispute informally within 30 days, it will be settled by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable rules, and held in Sacramento County, California, or remotely if both sides agree. Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies.

You and JZ Creates each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative action. Any matter that is not subject to arbitration will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Sacramento County, California.

13

The fine print

• Changes. We may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date shows when they last changed. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
• Electronic communications. When you email us or use our forms, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically, and that those communications meet any legal requirement to be in writing.
• Severability. If any part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.
• No waiver. If we don’t enforce part of these terms right away, we can still enforce it later.
• Whole agreement. These terms and our Privacy Policy are the full agreement between you and us about the site. A signed client agreement covers any project we do together.
