Terms of Service
Version 2026-06-27 · Effective June 27, 2026 · Last updated June 27, 2026
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of CREATIVE // ENGINE, including our website, software, tools, subscription services, artificial intelligence design systems, image generation features, uploads, downloads, account dashboard, early access program, and related services.
By accessing or using CREATIVE // ENGINE, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
For purposes of these Terms, “CREATIVE // ENGINE,” “we,” “us,” and “our” means CREATIVE // ENGINE LLC, operating CREATIVE // ENGINE. “User,” “you,” and “your” means any person or entity using the Service.
1. What CREATIVE // ENGINE Is
CREATIVE // ENGINE is a tattoo-focused design concept and image-generation platform intended to help tattoo artists, designers, and creative professionals develop custom visual concepts, references, design directions, and tattoo-ready inspiration.
The Service may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, image-generation systems, prompt-building systems, style engines, user-uploaded references, and other tools to produce visual outputs.
CREATIVE // ENGINE is not a tattoo license, legal advisor, copyright clearance service, medical advisor, professional tattoo safety authority, or substitute for the judgment of a qualified tattoo artist.
You are responsible for deciding whether any output is appropriate, safe, original enough, legally usable, technically tattooable, and suitable for your client.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use CREATIVE // ENGINE.
By using the Service, you represent that:
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have legal authority to enter into these Terms.
- If using the Service for a business, studio, company, or client, you have authority to bind that entity.
- Your use of the Service will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, professional standards, and client consent requirements.
We do not knowingly provide the Service to children under 13.
3. Account Registration
To use certain features, you may need to create an account.

- May contain bugs, errors, incomplete functionality, or unexpected results.
- May change, break, pause, reset, or be removed without notice.
- May produce inconsistent outputs.
- May not be suitable for commercial reliance without your own review.
- May have limited support, usage caps, or performance restrictions.
We are not liable for losses caused by beta limitations, downtime, bugs, output issues, account resets, feature changes, or early access instability.
5. Subscriptions, Credits, and Payments
CREATIVE // ENGINE may offer paid plans, subscriptions, credits, usage limits, add-ons, upgrades, trials, or promotional access.
By purchasing a plan, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge your payment method for applicable fees, taxes, renewals, upgrades, and usage-based charges.
Unless otherwise stated:

- Generated outputs are not refundable.
- Failure to use the Service does not entitle you to a refund.

7. Chargebacks
If you dispute a charge directly with your payment provider without first contacting us, we may suspend or terminate your account while the dispute is investigated.
You are responsible for chargeback fees, collection costs, and unpaid amounts where permitted by law.
