Terms of Service

§1 Scope and subject of the contract

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to all contracts between Avanity GmbH, Großer Biergrund 3, 63065 Offenbach am Main, Germany (hereinafter "Avanity") and its users (hereinafter "User") regarding the use of the online service "Loopy" (hereinafter "Service").

Loopy is a software-as-a-service offering that allows users to transform static music covers into animated 5-second loop videos. The processing runs through a two-stage AI pipeline (analysis and video generation).

§2 Contract conclusion

The contract is concluded through the user's registration on loopy.avanity.de and acceptance of these Terms. Use requires a minimum age of 16 years. Users under 18 need the consent of their legal guardians.

§3 Services

Avanity provides users with the following services:

• Trial animations: Every new user receives 3 free trial animations with watermarks. These can be viewed in the browser but not downloaded.
• Subscription plans: Monthly allowance of animations (Starter: 5, Pro: 20, Premium: 50). Current prices are on the pricing page.
• Credit packs: Additional animations for subscribers who exceed their allowance. Credits never expire.
• Storage: Storage of finished animations in a personal library for the duration of the active account.

§4 Rights to uploaded content

The User retains ownership of all rights to the covers they upload. With the upload, the User grants Avanity the exclusively non-exclusive right, limited in time to the duration of processing, to store, process, and transmit the cover to the connected AI providers (in particular fal.ai, Google Gemini and ByteDance Seedance) in order to create the requested animation.

User warranty: The User warrants that they hold the necessary rights to all uploaded content or have the express permission of the rights holder. The User indemnifies Avanity from all third-party claims arising from a breach of this warranty.

Before the first generation, the User actively confirms that they own the rights to their uploads. This confirmation then applies to all subsequent uploads during the contract term.

§5 Rights to generated content

The User receives full commercial usage rights to the animated videos produced by Loopy, to the extent that the underlying rights to the input cover allow this. Avanity claims no rights to the results and waives any share in the revenue generated from them.

Note on AI copyright: Whether AI-generated content is itself protected by copyright has not yet been definitively clarified in Germany. According to prevailing opinion, purely machine-generated works do not enjoy independent copyright protection. The User can use the video without restriction but may not have their own defensive rights against third parties who copy the same video. Please keep this legal status in mind when using the animations commercially.

Trial videos carry a visible watermark ("LOOPY TRIAL") and may only be viewed in the browser. Downloading is technically disabled. The commercial use of trial videos is not permitted.

§6 Prices, payment and billing

All prices are in euros including statutory value added tax. Current prices are available on the pricing page.

Billing is handled by our payment processor Stripe. Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. Credit packs are billed once at the time of purchase.

For subscriptions, the monthly allowance is reset to the full plan value at the beginning of each billing period. Unused animations are not rolled over to the next month. Add-on credit packs, however, do not expire.

§7 Contract term and cancellation

The contract is concluded for an indefinite period. Subscriptions automatically renew monthly unless canceled in time. Cancellation is possible at any time to the end of the current billing period through the Stripe Customer Portal (accessible from the Billing page in the app).

Credit packs are one-time purchases and do not establish any continuous obligation.

Account deletion: The User can delete their account at any time in the account settings. With deletion, all access to non-downloaded videos ends.

§8 Consumer right of withdrawal

Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal for distance contracts. Details can be found in our withdrawal policy.

§9 Prohibited use

Users may not use Loopy for:

• uploading content for which they have no or insufficient rights
• creating deepfakes or misleading representations of real persons
• illegal, violent, discriminatory or sexual content
• automated bulk processing without prior agreement with Avanity
• attempting to circumvent the platform's technical protection measures (e.g. removing the trial watermark)

Violations of these rules entitle Avanity to suspend the account without notice or to terminate the contract without warning.

§10 Disclaimer for AI results

The animations generated by Loopy are created fully automatically by AI models. Avanity assumes no warranty for the creative quality, artistic accuracy, or specific suitability of the results for a particular purpose. The User is responsible for reviewing the generated content before publication.

§11 Liability

Avanity is liable under statutory provisions for intent and groß negligence as well as for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations). In the case of slight negligent breach of cardinal obligations, liability is limited to the damage typical for the contract and foreseeable.

Liability for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, as well as under the Product Liability Act, remains unaffected.

§12 Availability

Avanity strives to ensure high availability of the service but does not guarantee uninterrupted accessibility. Brief downtimes due to maintenance, updates, or technical problems at third-party providers are possible and do not give rise to any claim for damages.

§13 Changes to the Terms

Avanity reserves the right to amend these Terms with effect for the future. Changes will be communicated to users by email at least 30 days before taking effect. If the user does not object within this period, the amended Terms are considered accepted.

§14 Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Place of jurisdiction — as far as legally permitted — is Frankfurt am Main.

Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
