1. What this policy covers

This policy explains how AlphaTales treats intellectual property rights in customer content, AI-assisted output, exported project artifacts, dev packs, product planning material, feedback, platform materials, and rights reports.

In this policy, Inputmeans project descriptions, prompts, files, notes, feedback, requirements, customer context, and other material you submit or make available to AlphaTales. Outputmeans material generated, suggested, summarized, transformed, or returned by AlphaTales based on your Input or project context.

2. Your input and project content

You keep the rights you already have in your Input and private project content. AlphaTales does not claim ownership of your private project descriptions, uploaded material, notes, workspace content, generated project artifacts, or exports.

You are responsible for having the rights, permissions, licences, consents, and authority needed to submit Input and use it with AlphaTales.
Do not submit confidential information, personal information, trade secrets, customer data, copyrighted material, brand assets, source code, datasets, or other third-party material unless you are allowed to process it through AlphaTales and our providers.
You grant AlphaTales a limited permission to host, process, transmit, display, secure, troubleshoot, and otherwise use Input as reasonably needed to provide, maintain, protect, support, improve, and enforce the service.
Workspace owners and admins are responsible for Input submitted by invited users and for controlling who can view, edit, export, or share project content.

3. Your rights in private output

Subject to applicable law, third-party rights, and your compliance with our Terms and policies, you may use private Output generated for your account or workspace for product planning, internal business, commercial, technical, fundraising, implementation, and developer handoff purposes.

To the extent AlphaTales Technologies Pty Ltd has any rights in private Output generated specifically for your account or workspace, we assign those rights to you. This assignment does not transfer rights that AlphaTales does not own, rights held by third parties, rights in another user's output, or rights in AlphaTales platform materials.

This policy does not promise that Output is copyright-protected, exclusive, registrable, enforceable, original, non-infringing, or suitable for your intended use.

4. AlphaTales platform materials

AlphaTales and our licensors keep all rights in the AlphaTales platform, software, user interface, design system, workflows, templates, prompts, examples, documentation, service logic, know-how, trademarks, logos, branding, and other service materials.

Your subscription gives you access to use the service; it does not transfer ownership of AlphaTales.
Do not copy, modify, scrape, resell, sublicense, white-label, reverse engineer, or build a competing service from AlphaTales platform materials except where the law prevents us from restricting that act.
Do not remove copyright notices, proprietary notices, attribution, safety notices, or source references from AlphaTales materials or third-party materials.
If you give us feedback, suggestions, or product ideas, we may use them without compensation or confidentiality obligations unless we agree otherwise in writing.

5. AI output, originality, and human authorship

AI-assisted Output may be similar or identical to output generated for other users, especially for common product categories, planning formats, feature lists, user stories, acceptance criteria, technical patterns, names, or implementation suggestions.

Australian copyright law generally protects original expression, not ideas, facts, product concepts, names, titles, or generic methods.
Australian copyright law and policy around AI-generated material continues to develop. You should not assume that purely AI-generated Output will qualify for copyright protection without meaningful human contribution.
Add your own human judgment, product context, distinctive brand choices, editing, selection, technical decisions, and records before relying on Output as an ownable or defensible business asset.
AlphaTales does not provide copyright registration, patent advice, trade mark clearance, open-source licence review, freedom-to-operate analysis, or professional legal clearance.

6. Third-party rights, code, and open-source material

You are responsible for checking whether Input, Output, exports, dev packs, implementation material, brand names, logos, workflows, datasets, packages, APIs, and generated code snippets require permission, attribution, licence compliance, removal, review, or replacement.

Do not use AlphaTales to copy, imitate, or trade on another person's protected work, brand, product design, trade mark, confidential information, private data, or proprietary material.
If Output includes or suggests third-party packages, APIs, datasets, code, copy, designs, or product names, you must check the applicable licence and usage restrictions before using it.
Registered rights such as trade marks, patents, designs, and plant breeder's rights are different from copyright and may need separate searches, filings, permissions, or professional advice.
Publicly available material is not automatically free to copy, train on, republish, or include in your product.

7. Workspaces, teams, and ownership disputes

AlphaTales supports individual and team workspaces. Content created in a workspace may be visible to the workspace owner, admins, invited users, and other people granted access through product permissions, exports, or sharing features.

Workspace owners and admins are responsible for internal permissions, employment or contractor IP arrangements, collaborator access, offboarding, and exported records.
AlphaTales is not responsible for resolving ownership disputes between founders, employers, clients, contractors, collaborators, investors, or workspace members.
If we receive competing ownership claims, we may follow account records, workspace-admin instructions, applicable law, court orders, or written agreements provided to us.

You are responsible for how you export, download, publish, share, sell, present, or build from Input, Output, PRDs, feature specs, architecture notes, dev packs, implementation briefs, files, and other AlphaTales artifacts.

Before sharing Output outside your workspace, check accuracy, originality, confidentiality, privacy, trade mark risk, open-source licences, third-party rights, and whether AI assistance should be disclosed.
Dev packs and exports may contain project context, generated requirements, technical recommendations, and workspace material. Share them only with people who are allowed to receive that content.
If you combine Output with human-created work or third-party material, you are responsible for the final combined work.

9. AlphaTales names and brand assets

You may use the AlphaTales name only to identify AlphaTales as a service you use, in a truthful and non-misleading way. Do not use AlphaTales names, logos, trade dress, screenshots, or brand assets in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, certification, resale, or sponsorship unless we have approved it in writing.

10. Reporting infringement or rights concerns

Send copyright, trade mark, confidentiality, privacy, ownership, or other rights concerns to hello@alphatales.io.

Please include enough information for us to review the report:

your name, organization, contact details, and relationship to the rights owner;
the work, brand, content, confidential information, or rights you believe are affected;
the AlphaTales account, workspace, project, export, shared link, or content involved;
why you believe the use is unauthorized, infringing, unlawful, or otherwise problematic;
a statement that the information in your report is accurate and that you are authorized to act.

11. How we review and respond

We may review reports, request more information, contact the account holder or workspace owner, preserve records, remove or restrict access to content, disable sharing, suspend accounts, restore content, or take no action where the report is unsupported or outside our role as a service provider.

If content is removed or restricted and you believe that was a mistake, contact us with the relevant context, rights information, and any authorization or licence you rely on. We may ask for further information before restoring content or changing our decision.

12. Repeat infringement and serious misuse

We may suspend or terminate accounts, workspaces, projects, sharing links, or access where we reasonably believe there is repeated infringement, intentional misuse of third-party rights, fraudulent reporting, evasion of restrictions, unlawful content, or material legal risk to AlphaTales, our users, or third parties.
