1. Our Commitment to You
At Stylable, we believe that the designs you create belong to you. Whether you're an individual creator, a growing startup, or a large enterprise, this principle stays the same: what you build on our platform is yours.
This document explains how content ownership works on Stylable, how we protect your intellectual property, and the practical steps built into our platform that ensure your creative work remains under your control.
Here is the core commitment in plain terms:
- You own everything you upload to Stylable
- You own the AI workflows you design
- You own the outputs your workflows generate
- We will never claim ownership over your content
- We will never use your content to train AI models without your explicit consent
2. What You Own on Stylable
Ownership on Stylable is straightforward. Here's a clear breakdown of every content type on the platform and who owns it:
| Content Type | Examples | Ownership |
|---|---|---|
| Brand Assets | Logos, images, videos, audio, fonts, colors, documents, PDFs, 3D models, code you upload | 100% Yours |
| AI Workflows | Custom sequences of AI models, tools, prompts, and configurations you design | 100% Yours |
| Generated Outputs | Images, videos, audio, 3D, HTML, and other designs created through your workflows | 100% Yours |
| Prompts & Configs | Text prompts, parameters, model selections, and workflow settings | 100% Yours |
| Stylable Platform | The software, interface, infrastructure, and AI model integrations | Affinate's |
In simple terms: you bring your creativity and your brand — we provide the tools. The tools are ours; the creative output is yours.
3. How We Secure Your Ownership
Stylable integrates a curated network of industry-leading AI models to give you the best creative capabilities. We've structured our agreements with every provider in our network to ensure that ownership flows cleanly to you.
3.1 The Ownership Chain
Every AI provider in our network is contractually required to either assign output ownership to their API customers or explicitly disclaim any IP rights over outputs. Since Affinate is their customer, those rights flow to us — and we assign them directly to you through our terms of service and client agreements.
- AI Model Providers — Assign or disclaim output rights to Affinate as their API customer
- Affinate (Stylable) — Assigns all output rights to you through our agreement
- You — Full ownership of your generated content
3.2 Our Provider Standards
Every provider we partner with is required to meet our ownership and privacy standards before they are integrated into the platform:
| Our Standard | What This Means | Your Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Output Ownership Assignment | All providers either assign output rights to API customers or explicitly disclaim any ownership claim over outputs | No provider in the chain can claim ownership over your generated content |
| No Training on Your Data | We use business and API-tier agreements that contractually prevent providers from using your inputs or outputs for model training | Your brand assets and creative work stay private and are never used to improve third-party AI models |
| Commercial Use Rights | Every AI model available on Stylable is verified for commercial use eligibility before being made available to users | You can confidently use your outputs in commercial projects, branding, and client work |
| Provider Redundancy | We maintain a multi-provider architecture with the flexibility to add, replace, or switch between providers as needed | Your workflows remain functional even if an individual provider experiences changes or downtime |
| Affinate In-House Models | We also develop our own proprietary models, giving us direct control over output rights and data handling | Full ownership assigned to you with no third-party dependencies |
3.3 What Affinate Will Never Do
To be completely clear about our boundaries:
- We will never claim ownership over your Brand Assets, Workflows, or generated outputs.
- We will never use your content to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models without your explicit written consent.
- We will never sell, license, or share your content with third parties, except the AI providers who process it to generate your outputs as part of the service delivery.
- We will never retain your content after you delete it or after your account is closed, beyond any legally required retention period.
4. How Stylable Strengthens Your IP
Stylable is purpose-built to maximize your creative ownership. Unlike basic AI tools where you type a prompt and get a generic result, Stylable's workflow-based approach naturally layers in human creativity at every step — which is exactly what makes your outputs more protectable and more uniquely yours.
4.1 Your Creative Process on Stylable
- Build Your Brand — Upload your assets, set your brand identity
- Design Workflows — Choose models, write prompts, set parameters
- Generate Designs — AI models execute your creative vision
- Curate & Refine — Select, edit, and finalize your outputs
Steps 1, 2, and 4 are driven entirely by your creative decisions. Step 3 is where AI models help bring your vision to life. This layered approach means your outputs carry your creative fingerprint throughout the process, not just a machine's response to a generic prompt.
4.2 Why This Matters for IP Protection
Intellectual property frameworks around the world consistently protect creative works that reflect meaningful human creative input. Stylable's workflow-based approach ensures your outputs are the result of your creative direction — from selecting the brand elements, to architecting the workflow, to refining the final output. This positions your work strongly for IP protection.
The more you invest in customizing your workflows and curating your outputs, the stronger your ownership position becomes. Stylable gives you the tools to do this naturally as part of your creative process.
5. Best Practices for Maximizing Your IP
While your ownership is secured through our agreements, here are practical tips to get the most value and protection from your work on Stylable:
| # | Best Practice | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Use your own Brand Assets in workflows | Outputs that incorporate your proprietary materials are inherently unique and clearly tied to your brand |
| 2 | Write detailed, specific prompts | Detailed creative direction demonstrates your artistic intent and makes outputs more unique to you |
| 3 | Design multi-step workflows | Complex workflows that chain multiple models and tools produce more distinctive results that reflect your creative architecture |
| 4 | Curate and refine outputs | Selecting the best outputs and making edits adds your creative judgment, strengthening your ownership claim |
| 5 | Keep your workflows organized | Well-documented workflows serve as a clear record of your creative process, which is valuable for IP documentation |
| 6 | Be mindful when publishing to Community | Published workflows are visible to other users. Share generalized versions and keep proprietary configurations within your brand workspace |
6. Sharing, Collaboration & Community
Stylable is built for collaboration. Here's how IP works across different sharing scenarios:
6.1 Team Collaboration (Within Your Brand)
When you invite team members to your Brand workspace, they can collaborate on workflows and content in real-time. All work done within your Brand workspace is owned by the Brand owner (you or your organization). Team access and permissions are managed by Brand administrators.
6.2 Workflow Sharing
You can share workflows in two ways:
- Private sharing — Share directly with specific users. You retain full ownership. The recipient can use the workflow but cannot modify or redistribute your original.
- Community publishing — Publish a workflow to the Stylable Community for anyone to use. You retain ownership of the workflow itself. Other users who run your published workflow own their own outputs.
6.3 Public Output Links
When you generate content, you can create a public shareable link. Sharing a link lets others view your output but does not transfer any IP rights to them. You remain the owner of the content regardless of how widely the link is shared.
7. Your Data, Your Privacy
We take data privacy seriously. Here's what you should know:
- What we collect: Basic account information such as email, name, profile picture, and anonymized product usage analytics to improve the platform experience.
- What we don't do: We never sell your personal information. We never share your Brand Assets or generated outputs with other users. We never use your content for training AI models without explicit consent.
- Third-party processing: When your workflow runs, your inputs are processed through our vetted AI provider network to generate your outputs. All providers we work with are contractually bound to business-tier agreements that prohibit the use of your inputs or outputs for model training. The processing is purely to generate your requested output and is not retained by the provider beyond what is needed for service delivery.
- Your controls: You can export, delete, or manage your data at any time. When you close your account or end your subscription, your data will be made available for export and subsequently deleted from our systems.
8. Our Responsibility to You
As your platform provider, Affinate commits to the following:
- Platform integrity: We maintain and secure the Stylable platform with industry-standard practices and keep it updated to give you the best creative tools available.
- Provider management: We continuously monitor our AI provider partnerships. If a provider changes their terms, deprecates a model, or experiences extended issues, we proactively work to migrate affected workflows and notify you of any impact to your work.
- Transparency: We will always be transparent about how the platform works, what happens to your data, and any changes that may affect your experience or rights.
- Enterprise support: For business and enterprise users, we offer dedicated support including custom workflow creation, maintenance, onboarding, and scheduled consultations to help you get the most from the platform.
9. Good to Know
In the interest of full transparency, here are some important things to keep in mind when working with AI-generated content on any platform, including Stylable:
- AI-generated content is an evolving space. Laws around AI-generated content are being actively developed around the world. India's Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is working on frameworks specific to AI and copyright. This is a positive development because it means clearer rules are coming. In the meantime, Stylable's workflow-based approach, which emphasizes human creative direction, aligns well with the direction regulators are heading.
- Your creative involvement matters. The more you customize your workflows, curate your outputs, and add your creative touch, the stronger your ownership position. This is true across all jurisdictions, and it's exactly what Stylable is designed to help you do.
- Outputs are generated fresh each time. AI models generate outputs based on your unique combination of inputs, brand assets, and workflow configurations. While it is theoretically possible for different users to receive similar outputs from the same model with similar inputs, your use of unique brand assets and customized workflows makes your outputs distinctive.
- We recommend reviewing high-value outputs. For designs that will be used prominently in your branding or commercial materials, it is good practice to review them before publication. This is the same standard of care you would apply to any creative asset, whether AI-assisted or not.
- We keep our terms updated. As the legal landscape evolves, we update our terms and practices to ensure your rights remain protected. We will always notify you of material changes.
10. In Summary
Stylable is designed from the ground up with your ownership at the center:
- Your brand assets, workflows, and generated outputs are yours — fully and completely.
- No one in the chain — not Affinate, not our AI providers — will claim ownership over your creative work.
- Your content is never used for AI training without your consent.
- Stylable's workflow-based design gives your outputs a strong creative foundation.
- We're committed to transparency, security, and evolving with the legal landscape to keep your rights protected.
