Terms of Service
Last updated: March 5, 2026
01
Agreement to Terms
By accessing pennedforyou.com (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the operator of this Service.
This Service is currently operated by Cross Ventures LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, or its designated subsidiary. We may transfer operation of this Service to a wholly owned subsidiary entity without notice; such a transfer does not affect your rights under these Terms.
02
Description of Service
Penned For You creates custom, AI-assisted written and audio content for personal gifting purposes. Depending on the product ordered, this may include:
- Custom poems — original, personalized verses delivered as a digital PDF
- Custom lyrics — song lyrics written to your specifications, delivered as a digital PDF
- Custom songs — original lyrics set to AI-generated music, delivered as a digital audio file
The Process: We use a combination of proprietary workflows and third-party AI models — including Google Gemini, ElevenLabs, and Suno/Kie.ai — to generate written content, vocals, and music.
Delivery: All products are delivered digitally via email. We do not provide physical media. Physical keepsakes (framed prints, lyric art) may be available as separate upsell products fulfilled through third-party partners.
03
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use this Service. By submitting content about third parties (such as the intended gift recipient), you represent that you have the right to share their personal information for the purpose of content creation.
04
User Content and Conduct
You retain ownership of the original stories, memories, and details you submit. By submitting content, you grant us a limited license to use it solely for fulfilling your order. You agree not to submit content that:
- Constitutes hate speech, defamation, or incitement to violence
- Infringes on the intellectual property of others (e.g., requesting verbatim reproduction of copyrighted lyrics or text)
- Violates the privacy or dignity of a third party without their consent
05
AI-Generated Content — What to Expect
Creative work involves interpretation, and AI-assisted creation is no different. By using Penned For You, you acknowledge:
- Imperfections: AI may occasionally interpret a story in an unexpected way, mispronounce a name in audio output, or make creative choices that differ from your mental image. These are characteristics of the technology, not product defects.
- Subjectivity: All creative work — whether written by a human or assisted by AI — involves judgment calls about tone, structure, and style. We make every effort to honor your brief, but the result will reflect creative interpretation.
- Safety Filters: Our AI partners have built-in content safety filters. If your prompt triggers these filters, we may be unable to fulfill the order as submitted or may need to modify the content. We will contact you if this occurs.
- Emotional Weight: We understand that many orders are created for significant moments — grief, love, celebration, loss. We take that responsibility seriously and will work with you if the result doesn't honor the occasion appropriately.
06
Intellectual Property
Your Content
You retain full ownership of the original stories, memories, and personal details you provide. We do not claim any rights over your inputs.
Generated Content
The copyright status of AI-generated content is unsettled under current U.S. law. The Copyright Office has indicated that purely AI-generated works may not qualify for copyright protection. We do not represent or warrant that any poem, lyric, or song we create for you is protectable by copyright.
What we can offer — and what your purchase grants you — is a Personal, Perpetual, Worldwide License to use the delivered content for personal, non-commercial purposes. This includes:
- Sharing the piece at a private event (wedding, memorial, celebration)
- Posting it on personal, non-monetized social media
- Printing or displaying it as a personal keepsake
Commercial Use
You may not sell the content, distribute it for profit, upload audio to streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.), or use it in paid advertising without a separate Commercial License agreement. Contact hello@pennedforyou.com to discuss commercial licensing.
07
Satisfaction and Remakes
We want you to be genuinely happy with what we create. Because every piece is custom-made for you, we do not offer “change of mind” refunds — but we are committed to making it right when something goes wrong.
The One-Remake Policy
If we got a factual detail wrong (a misspelled name, an incorrect date, a misread instruction), or if the style is substantially different from what you requested, we will redo the piece at no additional charge.
Reasonable Accommodation
Beyond clear errors, we will make reasonable efforts to address legitimate concerns about the quality or fit of your piece. This is a judgment call we make in good faith, taking into account the nature of the request and the specifics of what was delivered. We reserve the right to decline remake requests that constitute a change of mind, a new brief, or a different recipient entirely.
How to Request a Remake
Remake requests must be submitted within 48 hours of delivery to hello@pennedforyou.com. Please include your order reference and a clear description of what needs to be corrected.
08
Payment and Refunds
All Sales Final: Once the content generation process begins, costs are incurred and the sale is final.
Exceptions: Refunds are issued only for technical failures (e.g., a file that cannot be opened and cannot be remedied) or duplicate billing.
European/UK Right of Withdrawal: By completing a purchase, you acknowledge that you are requesting immediate performance of a digital service and thereby waive your 14-day right of withdrawal under EU/UK consumer law once content generation has begun.
09
Privacy
Your privacy matters to us. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, and protect your personal information and the information you share about gift recipients. By using this Service, you consent to the data practices described in that policy.
10
Third-Party Service Providers
Our Service relies on third-party infrastructure providers. We are not liable for service outages, failures, or data incidents caused by these providers:
- Payment processing: Stripe
- Database and storage: Supabase
- Email delivery: Resend
- AI content generation: Google (Gemini), ElevenLabs, Suno/Kie.ai
11
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Penned For You and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific order giving rise to that claim.
12
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal proceedings not subject to arbitration under Section 13 shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Georgia.
13
Dispute Resolution
For U.S. Users: We encourage you to contact us first at hello@pennedforyou.com — most issues can be resolved quickly and informally. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree to submit it to binding arbitration in the State of Georgia under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You waive any right to participate in a class-action lawsuit.
For International Users: Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under applicable mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction (including GDPR, the Australian Consumer Law, or similar frameworks).
14
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our products, technology, or applicable law. We will indicate the effective date of any updates at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
