Effective Date: 25.12.2024
1.1 Scope of Policy
This Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy (“Policy”) applies to all content (“Content”) provided or made available through the Story Ship application (the “Application”), operated by Rota101 Studios (d/b/a “Story Ship”) (“we,” “our,” or “us”). Content includes, but is not limited to, AI-generated stories, images, text, audio, video, and any other materials. This Policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms of Service (“Terms”).
1.2 Acknowledgment of Terms
By downloading, accessing, or using the Application, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Policy, our Terms, and any additional guidelines or policies we may provide from time to time. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and our Terms, the Terms shall control unless otherwise specified.
1.3 Hierarchy of Agreements
If you use other Rota101 Studios services or policies (e.g., Community Guidelines, Privacy Policy), this Policy works in conjunction with them. However, if there is a direct conflict, the Terms of Service take precedence.
Definition and Proprietary Rights
All stories, images, and other outputs generated by or through our AI tools (“Generated Content”) are proprietary to Rota101 Studios. We reserve all rights, title, and interest in and to the Generated Content, including all associated intellectual property rights.
Use of Third-Party AI Tools & Stock Assets
From time to time, we may use third-party AI services, stock images, fonts, or audio elements in creating the Generated Content. Where such third-party materials are used, we ensure we hold or have procured the necessary licenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable third-party terms, Rota101 Studios retains all rights in the resulting Generated Content. However, any additional or separate use of these third-party elements by you may be subject to the third party’s own licensing terms.
Trademarks
All Story Ship and Rota101 Studios trademarks, logos, service marks, or branding (“Marks”) appearing in or with the Generated Content remain exclusively owned by Rota101 Studios. No rights or licenses are granted to use these Marks unless expressly stated in this Policy.
No Guarantee of Non-Infringement
While we make every effort to ensure our AI-generated content is unique and free of references to third-party IP, we do not guarantee that such Content will be free of inadvertent similarities, references, or resemblances. You acknowledge and accept these limitations inherent in AI-generated content.
If the Application allows users to contribute text, images, or other media (“User Content”), you retain ownership of the intellectual property rights in your contributions. However, by submitting User Content, you:
Represent and Warrant
You represent and warrant that your User Content does not and will not infringe or violate the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party. You further confirm that you have the necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to submit and share your User Content via the Application.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, perform, and display your User Content (in whole or in part) for any purpose related to operating, promoting, and improving the Application.
Moral Rights
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive any moral rights or similar rights you may have in your User Content. If waiver is not permitted, you agree not to assert such rights against Story Ship.
No Obligation to Host
We are not obligated to host, display, or distribute your User Content. We reserve the right to remove or modify User Content at our sole discretion, without notice and for any reason.
Submissions by Minors
If you are under the age of [13/16/18], you may submit User Content only under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian who agrees to be bound by this Policy. We reserve the right to request verifiable parental consent as required by applicable child protection laws.
