Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Radious, the personal AI radio service available at radious.ai and app.radious.ai (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

Radious generates personalized radio shows that combine music, AI-generated host segments, news summaries, weather reports and calendar mentions. Hosts are artificial: their speech is generated by AI language and text-to-speech models. You can interact with them through on-air text messages and, on eligible plans, live voice calls. Shows may also include station jingles and sponsored segments, as described in section 7. On the free plan you hear a shared station instead of shows of your own, as described in section 3.

2. Accounts

You need an account to use the Service. You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country). You are responsible for activity under your account.

3. Beta access, plans and limits

• The Service is currently in a free founding beta. Access is free, no payment method is required, and there is nothing to cancel. We may limit or withdraw beta access at any time.
• When paid plans begin, they will be billed monthly: Starter (3.99€, up to 2 shows per day), Pro (7.99€, up to 20 shows, 1 studio call and 20 on-air messages per day) and Ultra (50€, up to 50 shows, 5 studio calls and 100 on-air messages per day, plus founder community access and feature voting). Starter and Pro put up to 2 hosts on air and Ultra up to 3. The Banter and Learning host-talk types are part of Pro and Ultra; Facts and Philosophy are on every plan. Premium host voices are part of Ultra, with a daily allowance of speech. A host with a Premium voice speaks in a standard voice instead on any other plan, once the day’s allowance is used up, and while the Premium voice’s provider is unavailable. We will tell you before any charge is ever made.
• There is also a free plan. It does not include shows of your own, studio calls or on-air messages. Instead it plays the free station on demand: when you press play you hear its latest news bulletin and talk show, which we write for all free listeners together several times a day, currently in English, between the music you choose. The free plan may be supported by sponsored segments rather than payment.
• Daily limits reset every 24 hours. To protect the Service we also apply technical usage ceilings that are independent of your plan. Limits and prices may change; we will notify you before changes affect a plan you already pay for.

4. Billing and cancellation

No charges are made during the beta. When paid plans begin, subscriptions will renew automatically each month until cancelled, you will be able to cancel anytime in the app, and your plan will remain active until the end of the paid period. Payments will be handled by a payment processor; we do not store your card details. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.

5. Acceptable use

• Do not use the Service to generate or spread unlawful, hateful or harassing content, including through on-air messages or calls.
• Do not attempt to bypass usage limits, probe or disrupt the Service, or resell access to it.
• Do not use the Service to infringe anyone’s intellectual property or privacy rights.

6. Music, voices and third-party content

Free radio streams music from Audius and Jamendo under their respective licenses. Local file playback uses files you already own. You are responsible for having the right to play the content you bring to the Service. News segments summarize the sources you configure or, on the free station, world news from sources we select; attribution stays with the original publishers.

• Who uploads the music. The songs on Free radio are uploaded to Audius and Jamendo by their artists and other users, not by us, and those platforms host them. We cannot check who holds the rights to every song. If someone uploads a song there without the right to share it, the responsibility for that upload is theirs, not ours.
• Copyright removal requests. If you own the rights to a song that plays on Radious and want it removed, email support@radious.ai with the song title, the artist and a link to the track or the playlist it played in, and tell us how you hold the rights. We will check the request and stop the song playing on Radious. The recording itself is hosted by Audius or Jamendo, so to have it removed there too, contact them.
• Host voices. You choose your hosts’ voices from the voice libraries of our text-to-speech providers, Fish Audio and ElevenLabs. Most of those voices are made and published by the providers’ users, not by us. We may remove any voice from Radious at any time, for example one that imitates a real person without their permission. A host whose voice is removed carries on in another voice.
• Voice removal requests. If a host voice on Radious imitates you, or someone you represent, without permission, or otherwise infringes your rights, email support@radious.ai with the voice’s name as the app shows it, a link to the voice if you have one, and how the voice concerns you. We will check the request and remove the voice from Radious: it can no longer be chosen, and hosts already using it switch to another voice. The voice itself is hosted by Fish Audio or ElevenLabs, so to have it removed there too, contact them.

7. Sponsorship and promotional segments

Shows may include sponsored audio segments between songs, in the same way ordinary radio carries advertising. The free plan, or a reduced-price plan, may be supported by them, and paid plans may carry fewer of them or none.

• Sponsored segments are always identified as advertising when they play, and are separated from the rest of the show by station idents.
• Which sponsored segment plays is decided by the content of the show — its topic, language and country — and never by anything personal about you. We do not use your feeds, interests, calendar, messages, call audio or listening history to select advertising, and no personal data is shared with sponsors. See our Privacy Policy.
• Sponsors have no influence over editorial content. Sponsored material will not appear inside news readings, answers to your on-air messages, or live calls, and no one can pay to be recommended, mentioned favourably or discussed by your hosts.
• A sponsor’s claims are their own. Products and services mentioned in sponsored segments are not endorsed or verified by Radious.

8. AI-generated content

Host speech, news summaries, weather readings and call responses are generated by AI and can be inaccurate, incomplete or outdated. They are provided for entertainment and general information only and are not professional advice. Do not rely on them for medical, legal, financial or safety decisions.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design and branding, belongs to Radious and its licensors. You keep the rights to the content you provide (feeds you select, messages you send, names you choose). You grant us the license needed to operate the Service, such as processing your messages so hosts can answer them on air.

10. Availability and changes to the Service

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Current status is published at status.radious.ai. We may change or discontinue features; if we discontinue the Service entirely, we will give reasonable notice to paying subscribers.

11. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Radious is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability for claims related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. Termination

You can delete your account in the app at any time, which removes your hosts, feeds, interests and history. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time — for example to reflect changes to the Service or to our plans, new legal requirements, or to prevent misuse. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. Previous versions are available on request.

• Material changes. If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will tell you by email or in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect and explain what is changing. From that date, the app will ask you to accept the updated Terms before you continue using the Service.
• Other changes. Changes that do not disadvantage you, such as clarifications, corrections or new features, take effect when we publish them. Changes required by law take effect when the law requires.
• If you do not agree. You can stop using the Service and delete your account in the app at any time. If you are on a paid plan and cancel before a material change takes effect, we will refund the unused part of the period you have already paid for on request.

If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, the updated Terms apply to you.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia. Disputes are resolved by the courts of Estonia, without limiting mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.
