Service Description

Echo Love provides a platform that converts blog posts, articles, and other textual content into audio format using custom voice profiles. Users can upload voice samples to create personalized voice profiles and submit URLs or text content to be processed into audio files for personal consumption.

Voice Upload & Usage Rights

By uploading voice samples to Echo Love ("the Service"), you represent and warrant that: 1. You are either the owner of the voice being uploaded or have obtained explicit written consent from the individual whose voice is being uploaded. 2. You grant Echo Love a limited, non-exclusive license to process, store, and use the voice data solely for the purpose of providing the voice synthesis service to you. 3. You acknowledge that uploading voice samples of public figures, celebrities, or other individuals without proper authorization may constitute a violation of their publicity rights, privacy rights, or other legal protections. 4. You will not upload voice samples obtained through deceptive, coercive, or unauthorized means. 5. You understand that voice data may be considered biometric information in some jurisdictions and subject to additional legal protections. Echo Love does not claim ownership of the voice samples you upload, but we require these rights to provide the Service.

Content Generation & Intellectual Property

Echo Love provides a service that allows users to convert written content into spoken audio using custom voice profiles. With respect to this functionality: 1. **Content Rights**: You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to convert any textual content (including blogs, articles, books, or other written material) into audio format. This may require permission from the copyright holder or reliance on fair use/fair dealing principles. 2. **Generated Audio**: The audio files generated through our Service represent a transformation of the original content. Echo Love does not claim ownership of the intellectual property embodied in the generated audio, but we do not guarantee that the generation of such audio constitutes fair use or is otherwise permitted under applicable copyright laws. 3. **Non-Commercial Use Recommendation**: Unless you have explicit permission from the copyright holder, we strongly recommend limiting your use of the Service to non-commercial, personal consumption of the generated audio. 4. **No Legal Advice**: Echo Love does not provide legal advice regarding fair use or copyright. If uncertain about your rights to convert specific content, please consult with a legal professional. 5. **DMCA Compliance**: Echo Love complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
