Welcome to WellSaid Labs Inc. (“WellSaid”, “WellSaid Labs”, “We”, “Us” or “Our”) and our Terms of Service (“Terms”). Any references to “you” or “your” in these Terms of Service means the person or entities using the Services, including any person in your employ or under your control assisting you or acting on your behalf in your use of the Services. This means, among other things, that any of your employees, contractors, agents, or workforce members, who use the Services are bound by the Terms of Service and bind you as well. We have created a proprietary method that allows you to create lifelike synthetic voices. Our solution is designed to provide you ownership of the audio files generated by our Services. At all times, you own and are responsible for the content you use to create the audio files.
Please carefully and fully read these Terms because they govern your use of our services and products, which are made available through our website www.wellsaidlabs.com (the “Site”), and constitute a legally binding agreement between you and WellSaid. To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, and our products and services, are collectively referred to in these Terms as “Services.” You must fully accept these Terms in order to have the right to access the Services.
By accessing, setting up an account, or otherwise using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, it’s simple: you may not use the Services.
We reserve the right to modify the Terms and our Service offering at any time, in our sole discretion. While we are not required to provide notice, we will post a notice to changes on our Site. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because continuing to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Site is deemed acceptance of the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then please discontinue use of the Services immediately. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice to you, at our sole discretion.
WellSaid’s text-to-speech services utilize generative model architecture and state-of-the-art neural text-to-speech (TTS) technology to generate high quality synthetic voiceover. The primary principle of the technology is to convert text into speech using machine learning models that generate accurate predictions for human voice output from the text it processes. These novel approaches to synthetic speech generation enable content creators to instantly generate audio output using WellSaid’s Voices that capture the intricacies of human speech such as advanced speech patterns, intonation, and tone.
In order to access and use the Services, you will need to create an account (your “Account”). By creating an Account, you become a “User” and represent that you are eighteen (18) years or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.
Your Account must be yours – you may not use the Services under the name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person, or use a username that is subject to rights of another person without appropriate authorization. We have a strict “No Robots” policy. You must be a human to use the Services and an automated account is not allowed. This policy also applies beyond Account creation to the general use of the Services. “Robot” (or automatic) activity is not allowed. Breach of this requirement may result in termination of your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, false, or misleading, or to reclaim any username that you create through the Services that violates Our Terms. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and Account, and agree to notify Us immediately if your password is lost, stolen, or disclosed to an unauthorized third party, or otherwise may have been compromised. You are responsible for activities that occur under your Account. WellSaid will not be liable for any loss you may incur as a result of unauthorized or improper use of your Account as a result of your failure to maintain the confidentiality and security of your username or password. You can be held liable for losses incurred by WellSaid as a result of unauthorized access to the Services, and you agree to reimburse WellSaid, upon request, for any expenses it incurs in investigating, mitigating, remedying, and reporting any data breaches, loss of data, or financial losses it incurs.
We encourage you to regularly change your password to help ensure your account’s security.
Since we empower our customers to manage and configure their own content and data for use, we cannot be held responsible for the security of the content or data you provide. However, to prevent unauthorized access, safeguard data accuracy, and maintain the appropriate use of our Services, we have put in place appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to protect the data you submit. Understanding that the Internet is not 100% secure and new technology evolves and emerges, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party interference from illegally obtaining or tampering with your content or data. We hereby disclaim any liability for any breach of data, infringement of proprietary information, customer information, content, or other data. Ensuring the security of that content and data is your responsibility. You acknowledge and agree that all data made available to you through any portal, account, or login in connection with or through the Services shall be your responsibility to maintain securely. If you suspect a data breach or suspicious activity, please report it to us immediately.
It is your responsibility to provide and safeguard the devices and equipment you use to access the Services (such as laptops, tablets, and mobile devices) and to use appropriate security settings on those devices. If those devices are lost, stolen, or misplaced, others may be able to access your account and your information available through the Services using those devices, and you will be liable for the consequences of any unauthorized access to the Services. To the extent any software or applications are necessary for your equipment and devices to access or utilize the Services, you are solely responsible for obtaining and appropriately using such software or applications.
WellSaid offers its Services under several different plans to suit your needs. In order to subscribe for an Account, you will need a valid credit card. For more information about how we handle credit card and other personally identifying and sensitive personal information you may provide us, please read our Privacy Policy at https://wellsaidlabs.com/legal?document=privacy_policy.
Accounts will be billed monthly starting on the day you sign up and then monthly thereafter. If you upgrade your Account plan, you will be billed immediately upon upgrading and then on that same date each subsequent month. Each bill paid ensures your access to portions of the Services that require payment for the next month. There are no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open Account. We treat everyone equally, so no exceptions will be made.
Downgrading your Account may cause the loss of content or features available to you at your current plan. WellSaid is not, and will not be held to be, liable for such loss. If you exceed your Account plan’s limits (e.g. you have created more audio files than allotted), your access may be restricted and you will need to upgrade to the next available plan.
If your billing method expires or changes, and you do not edit or update your billing information or cancel your account, we will send you a single courtesy notice regarding billing information discrepancies. If you fail to provide us with updated billing information more than three (3) days after notice is sent, WellSaid reserves the right to disable and terminate access to your account. You authorize us to continue billing during this notice period, and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
The U.S. time zone for WellSaid’s headquarters in Seattle, WA is PST/PDT. Customer support and business hours are all in PST/PDT. All billing and system logs are in EST (UTC-05). As of December 15, 2022, your account(s) will use UTC-05 for logs, reports, statistics, and billing. It’s not possible to change the time zone of a serving account. The time zone is set at the time of account creation.
We welcome feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Services. You can submit feedback by emailing us at [email protected]. You grant to Us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license under any and all intellectual property rights that you own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit the feedback for any purpose.
Your privacy is important to us. We have adopted a Privacy Policy governing the Services and information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected, stored, and used. Please review our Privacy Policy for information about the data we may collect and use.

You understand and agree that we may monitor and/or record any communications between you and WellSaid, or our third party service providers, for quality control and other permitted business purposes. You also understand and agree that this monitoring or recording may be done without any further notice to you or anyone acting on your behalf.
Our services allow you to generate audio files with synthetic voices dictating the text you have supplied. The synthetic voices themselves are proprietary to WellSaid; however, the Audio Files (in MP3, WAV, and/or OGG format) are provided to you for your own personal or commercial use provided you are in compliance with these terms including payment obligations. For clarity, You retain ownership in the audio files with a non-exclusive limited license to the embedded synthetic voice technology.

Federal law requires that your notification include the following information: (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (iv) information reasonably sufficient to permit Us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail; (v) a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

IN NO EVENT WILL WELLSAID’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR CONTENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO WELLSAID FOR USE OF THE SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CAUSE OF ACTION, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) WHICHEVER IS GREATER. LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN WELLSAID AND YOU. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
We prefer to resolve things amiably when possible; therefore, you agree to the following dispute resolution policy in connection with any potential claims or disputes arising from your use of the Services. You and WellSaid agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WELLSAID OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF THIS SPECIFIC PARAGRAPH IS HELD UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION WILL BE DEEMED VOID. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, THIS “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION WILL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS.
Start by notifying us of your dispute by sending a notice to [email protected].
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between WellSaid and You. These Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Us. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
These Terms of Service and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any action to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights will be the state and federal courts located in Seattle, Washington and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Our prior written consent. Any attempt by You to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. WellSaid may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms of Service will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
Any notices or other communications provided by WellSaid under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given by Us (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of WellSaid. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
