ST STUDIO - TERMS OF SERVICE

1. Contact

Support: support@sweettea.co

Tea Time Labs is based in New York, USA.

2. The Services

ST Studio offers:

• A creator-first ecosystem for discovering and sharing Pipes distributed as .tea packages.
• Account features, community profiles, and a pipe directory.
• Optional account continuity, sync, publishing, and Agent Access features.

The ST Studio desktop application ("Studio App") is licensed under the End User License Agreement supplied with your app version. Read the desktop EULA. Your use of the Site and Services remains subject to these Terms.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent you have authority to bind that organization.

4. Accounts and security

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials,
• All activity under your account,
• Keeping account information accurate.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy.

5. Current product access

Current capabilities are available subject to these Terms, account security, ownership checks, safety policy, abuse prevention, and published usage limits. We may adjust common limits to keep the Services reliable and safe.

6. User content: Pipes, .tea packages, previews, and community content

The Services may let you upload, publish, or share content including Pipes (.tea packages), pipe metadata, descriptions, preview images, comments, and profile information ("User Content").

6.1 Your rights in User Content

As between you and Sweet Tea, you retain any rights you hold in your User Content. These Terms do not create copyright or other rights in AI-generated material where the law does not recognize them, or transfer rights belonging to others.

6.2 License you grant to Sweet Tea

To operate the Services, you grant Sweet Tea a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, and make your User Content available solely to:

• Operate and provide the Services,
• Display content in the directory/community features (as configured by you and by our policies),
• Moderate and enforce these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy,
• Maintain and improve reliability, safety, and usability.

You can remove User Content where removal features are provided, but copies may persist for a limited time in backups and logs.

6.3 Preview image visibility and NSFW controls

Published listings, descriptions, packages, and previews are shared through the Services according to their visibility settings. NSFW controls affect what is shown in supported interfaces; they are not a confidentiality guarantee for uploaded files or links. Do not publish private information or credentials.

We may require additional labeling or restrict or remove previews and listings under the Acceptable Use Policy or legal obligations. Other people may retain copies they have already downloaded.

6.4 You are responsible for what you upload

You represent and warrant that you have the rights to upload and share your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or the law. This applies to every file in a .tea package, including any bundled assets, code, or model files. Publishing a package does not clear third-party distribution rights.

7. Acceptable use

Our Acceptable Use and Content Policy is part of these Terms. You agree not to:

• Upload malware or content that interferes with the Services,
• Attempt unauthorized access, scraping, or abuse of the Services,
• Post unlawful content or content that violates the Acceptable Use Policy,
• Infringe intellectual property rights,
• Misrepresent "Verified" status or impersonate others.

8. Verified Pipes

A "Verified" label reflects the scope of the product review recorded for that Pipe and version at the time of review. Review may concern workflow structure, dependency information, or tested behavior; it does not mean every device, dependency version, or possible use was tested. Status may change or be removed.

Verification, curation, inclusion in Resources, and first-party authorship do not certify third-party licenses, ownership, legal compliance, safety, or rights in outputs. Check the listed evidence, limitations, and upstream terms for your intended use.

9. Third-party services and dependencies

You choose which third-party models, custom nodes, workflows, and services to download, install, or run. Review their source, license, security requirements, and terms before use. Models and custom nodes can have separate licenses, including commercial-use or redistribution restrictions. A link, installation aid, Pipe, or catalog listing does not grant additional rights.

A model license and rights in a generated output are separate questions. You are responsible for your inputs, intended use, and use or distribution of outputs, including copyright, likeness, privacy, trademark, and other permissions that may apply. We do not promise that an output is unique, copyrightable, non-infringing, or suitable for commercial use.

Studio supports local execution and connections to remote engines or providers. Local execution does not make every connected feature offline: downloads, account services, publishing, sync, and remote services communicate over the network. A remote engine or provider may receive the inputs and credentials required for the action you choose and may charge its own fees. Check its terms and privacy policy. Protect your credentials and review packages before sharing them.

10. Disclaimers

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Sweet Tea does not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and does not guarantee that any pipe, workflow, or output will meet your expectations or be fit for a particular purpose.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SWEET TEA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED $100.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, if you upload or publish User Content, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sweet Tea against third-party claims and reasonable costs caused by your unlawful User Content or your breach of these Terms. This does not cover claims caused by Sweet Tea’s own unlawful conduct or remove any rights or protections that cannot lawfully be excluded.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, or if required by law.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflict of law principles. You agree that any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post updates and revise the revision date. Updates apply when published on the Site, subject to any notice or consent required by law. Material changes may be communicated via the Services or email.

16. Reports and contact

For copyright, privacy, impersonation, or safety concerns, see Report content or a rights concern. You do not need a Studio account to use the email reporting route.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Mandatory protections under applicable law continue to apply.
