    heading: "The Service",
    paragraphs: [
      "Podcast Distribution AI is an AI platform that turns a topic into a produced podcast episode — writing the script, synthesizing multi-voice audio, and generating cover art — and helps you repurpose that content. Features and limits vary by plan and may change as we improve the Service.",

  },
  {
    heading: "Accounts and eligibility",
    paragraphs: [
      "You must provide accurate account information, keep your credentials and API keys confidential, and are responsible for all activity under your account. You must be old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.",

  {
    heading: "Acceptable use",
    paragraphs: [
      "You agree not to use the Service to create or distribute content that is illegal, infringing, deceptive, hateful, harassing, sexually exploitative, or that impersonates a real person's voice or identity without authorization. You may not attempt to bypass usage limits, security controls, or rate limits, or use the Service to build a competing model.",

    bullets: [
      "We screen topics and generated scripts with automated moderation and may flag, hold, or remove content that violates these terms.",

    heading: "AI-generated content and ownership",
    paragraphs: [
      "Subject to your compliance with these terms and the terms of our AI providers, you own the scripts, audio, and artwork you generate and are responsible for how you use and publish them. AI output can be inaccurate, biased, or unintentionally similar to existing works — you are responsible for reviewing it for accuracy, rights, and suitability before publishing. The Service and generated output are provided on an \"as is\" basis.",
    ],
  },
  {
    heading: "Plans, billing, and cancellation",
    paragraphs: [
      "Paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe or PayPal on a recurring basis until cancelled. By subscribing you authorize us and our processors to charge your payment method for each renewal at the then-current price. You can cancel at any time from the billing page or provider portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.",

  },
  {
    heading: "Usage limits",
    paragraphs: [
      "Each plan includes monthly allowances for scripts, audio, artwork, repurposing, seats, and maximum episode length. Allowances reset at the start of each calendar month and are enforced at generation time. Exceeding a limit pauses the relevant feature until the next period or until you upgrade.",
    ],
  },
  {
    heading: "API access",
    paragraphs: [
      "Eligible plans may access the Podcast Distribution AI API using keys you generate. Keep keys secret; requests are attributed to, and count against, the owning account, and are subject to rate and usage limits. We may revoke keys that are abused.",
    ],
  },
  {
    heading: "Third-party services",
    paragraphs: [
      "The Service relies on third parties including OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Stripe, PayPal, and Resend. Your use of features powered by these providers is also subject to their terms, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.",
    ],
  },
  {
    heading: "Disclaimers and limitation of liability",
    paragraphs: [
      "To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, and Podcast Distribution AI is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.",
    ],
  },
  {
    heading: "Termination",
    paragraphs: [
      "You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms or to protect the Service. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as ownership, disclaimers, and limitations of liability) will survive.",
    ],

  {
    heading: "Changes to these terms",
    paragraphs: [
      "We may update these terms as the Service evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date above, and your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.",

  {
    heading: "Governing law",
