3. Third-Party AI Services & API Keys
Animea integrates with third-party AI service providers (including but not limited to fal.ai, Google AI Studio, xAI Grok, VIDU, and Hunyuan3D) using API keys that you provide ("Bring Your Own Keys"). Your use of these third-party services is governed by their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not a party to your agreement with any third-party provider.
You are solely responsible for:

We do not store, transmit, or have access to your API keys beyond what is necessary to facilitate requests to the third-party services on your behalf within the Software.
4. Content & Intellectual Property
You retain all rights to the original content you create using Animea, including drawings, sketches, and compositions. Ownership of AI-generated content (images, videos, 3D models) is subject to the terms of the third-party AI service provider that generated it. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with the applicable provider's terms regarding ownership and usage rights of AI-generated outputs.
The Software itself, including its code, design, documentation, and branding, is and remains the exclusive property of Animea and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
