Terms & Agreement

Maker1 Terms of Service

Effective date: September 25, 2026 · Last updated: September 25, 2026

The short version

Maker1 helps you build websites with AI. You own what you make, you're responsible for what you publish, and we ask that you use Maker1 legally and respectfully. We work hard to keep everything running smoothly, but like any online service, things can occasionally go wrong. If you ever have a problem, talk to us first. We'd much rather sort it out together.

The full details are below. If anything is unclear, email us at support@maker1.ai and we'll be happy to explain.

1. Welcome to Maker1

1.1 About these Terms

Thanks for using Maker1! These Terms of Service ("Terms") cover your use of maker1.ai and any related domains (the "Site"), as well as the Maker1 AI website builder and all related tools, features, hosting, and services (together, the "Platform").

Maker1 is an AI-powered website builder that lets you create, edit, and publish websites by describing what you want. By creating an account or using the Platform, you're agreeing to these Terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use Maker1.

1.2 Other policies that apply

Your use of Maker1 is also covered by our Privacy Policy and any other guidelines or policies we post on the Site (such as an Acceptable Use Policy). These are part of your agreement with us, along with these Terms.

1.3 Who we are

Maker1 is operated by Maker1 ("Maker1," "we," "us," or "our"), located at:

2401 E 6th St Apt 3037 #323
Austin, TX 78702

"You" means the person using Maker1, or the business or organization you're using it on behalf of. If you're signing up for a business, you're confirming that you're allowed to agree to these Terms on its behalf.

2. Your Account

2.1 Who can use Maker1

You need to be at least 13 years old (or the minimum digital age of consent in your country, if that's higher) to use Maker1. If you're under 18, please review these Terms with a parent or guardian and have them agree on your behalf. Parents or guardians who do this are responsible for their child's use of Maker1, including any charges.

We may decline to provide the Platform to anyone, and we may update our eligibility requirements over time.

2.2 Signing up

To build and publish sites, you'll need a Maker1 account. Please give us accurate information when you sign up and keep it up to date, so we can reach you about your account, billing, and any important updates.

2.3 Your email address

The email address on your account is the main way we'll communicate with you, and it's how we confirm that a request really comes from you. Please make sure it's an address you check and can keep access to. If you lose access to that email (for example, if a custom domain expires), we may not be able to verify your identity or restore your account.

2.4 Keeping your account secure

Please keep your password and login details private, and don't share your account with others. You're responsible for activity that happens under your account. If you think someone else has accessed your account, let us know right away so we can help. If we believe an account has been compromised, we may temporarily lock it until things are sorted out.

2.5 Building sites for clients

If you're a designer, freelancer, or agency using Maker1 to build sites for clients, you're confirming that you have permission to act on your clients' behalf and that you'll let them know these Terms apply. Because the account belongs to you, we generally won't be able to transfer your account or its sites to a client if you become unreachable, so we recommend agreeing with your clients up front about who owns the site and account.

2.6 Ownership disputes

Occasionally, two people disagree about who owns an account or website (for example, a business and a former employee, or a designer and a client). We try to stay out of these disputes. If we do need to step in, we'll generally treat the owner as the person who controls the account's email address or whose payment details are on file, and we may ask for documentation to help. If we can't reasonably determine the owner, we may pause the account or site until the parties resolve it.

3. Your Content

3.1 What counts as your content

"Your Content" means everything you create, upload, or publish with Maker1, including text, images, videos, prompts you enter, and the websites you build.

3.2 You own your content

You keep ownership of Your Content. To run the Platform, though, we need your permission to do certain things with it. By using Maker1, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, display, modify (for example, to format your site for different screen sizes), and publish Your Content, only as needed to operate, improve, secure, and provide the Platform to you. Our hosting and technology partners may also handle Your Content on our behalf for these purposes.

Keep in mind that anything you publish publicly on the internet can be seen, shared, or copied by others.

3.3 Back up your work

We take care of your data, but we can't guarantee it will never be lost. We recommend keeping your own copies of any important content.

3.4 Showcasing your site

We love seeing what people build! From time to time, we may feature published Maker1 sites, along with the site's name and logo, in our marketing, such as on our website or social media. If you'd prefer that we not feature your site, just email support@maker1.ai and we'll respect that.

3.5 Removing your content

You can remove Your Content or stop using Maker1 at any time.

3.6 Sensitive data

Maker1 isn't designed to store highly sensitive information. Please don't use it to collect protected health information covered by HIPAA, payment card numbers (outside of any built-in payment integrations we provide), or similar regulated data.

3.7 When we may remove content

If Your Content or your use of Maker1 breaks these Terms or could cause harm to others, we may remove the content or limit access to your account. When possible, we'll let you know first, unless doing so would be unlawful, put others at risk, or compromise the Platform.

We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material. We may scan content for it, and any such material will be removed and reported to the appropriate authorities.

4. AI-Generated Content

4.1 How the AI works

Maker1 uses artificial intelligence to generate website designs, layouts, text, images, and code based on your prompts ("AI Output"). AI is powerful, but it isn't perfect.

4.2 Please review before publishing

AI Output may sometimes be inaccurate, incomplete, or similar to content created for other users. Before publishing, please review what the AI creates, especially facts, pricing, legal or medical information, and anything about real people or businesses. You're responsible for what ends up on your published site.

4.3 Who owns AI Output

As between you and Maker1, you own the AI Output generated for you, to the extent the law allows. Because AI can produce similar results for different people, we can't promise that your AI Output is unique or that it can be protected by copyright.

4.4 Using AI responsibly

Please don't use Maker1's AI to create content that is illegal, deceptive, harmful, or that infringes on someone else's rights, such as copying another company's website, logo, or trademarks, or impersonating a real person or business.

4.5 Improving the Platform

We may use information about how the Platform is used (for example, which features are popular or where the AI struggles) to improve Maker1. Our Privacy Policy explains this in more detail.

5. Your Responsibilities

5.1 Rights to your content

You confirm that you have the rights to everything you upload or publish, and that Your Content doesn't infringe anyone else's copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights.

5.2 Following the law

Please use Maker1 in line with all applicable laws, including privacy, consumer protection, and export laws. We can't give legal advice, so if you're unsure what the law requires for your site, it's a good idea to check with a professional.

5.3 Acceptable use

When using Maker1, please don't:

  • Publish illegal, fraudulent, hateful, harassing, or sexually explicit content involving minors
  • Distribute malware, phishing pages, or spam
  • Try to hack, overload, or disrupt the Platform or other users' sites
  • Reverse engineer or copy the Platform, or scrape it in bulk
  • Resell or sublicense access to Maker1 without our written permission

5.4 Your site visitors

The people who visit sites you build are your visitors, not ours. If your site collects information from visitors (for example, through a contact form, newsletter signup, or cookies), you're responsible for:

  • Posting a clear privacy policy that explains what you collect and how you use it
  • Getting any consent required by law
  • Protecting the information you collect
  • Responding to visitors who want to access or delete their data
  • Notifying visitors and authorities if required after a data breach

When we process your visitors' data on your behalf, we do so to provide the Platform to you, as described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Services

Maker1 may connect with other services, like domain registrars, payment processors, analytics tools, or AI providers. When you use those services, their own terms and policies apply. We're not responsible for third-party services or websites that we link to, so please review their terms before using them.

7. What We Own

7.1 The Maker1 Platform

Maker1, including its software, design, AI systems, templates, logos, and branding, belongs to us and our licensors. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use the Platform as these Terms allow. Please don't copy, resell, or redistribute any part of the Platform except as the Platform itself allows.

7.2 Feedback

We love hearing your ideas! If you send us suggestions or feedback, we're free to use them to improve Maker1 without any obligation to you.

7.3 Beta features

We sometimes offer early-access or beta features. These are optional, may not work perfectly, and may change or be discontinued at any time.

8. Plans, Billing, and Renewals

8.1 Free and paid plans

Maker1 may offer both free and paid plans. Details about current plans, features, and usage limits are listed on our pricing page.

8.2 Payment

Paid plans require a valid payment method. Payments are processed by our payment provider in U.S. dollars. If you pay in another currency, your bank or payment provider's exchange rate will apply, so any refund amount may differ slightly from what you originally paid.

Prices don't include taxes. You're responsible for any applicable sales tax, VAT, or similar taxes.

8.3 Renewals

Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly) until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account settings, and your plan will stay active until the end of the current billing period.

8.4 Refunds

Monthly plans are billed in advance and are non-refundable. Annual plans are billed up front and are non-refundable. 

8.5 Usage limits

Some plans include limits, such as AI generations, bandwidth, or number of sites. If you regularly go over your plan's limits, we'll reach out and may ask you to upgrade. If usage stays above the limit for more than 30 days after we contact you, we may limit your access until it's resolved.

8.6 Price changes

We may update our prices from time to time. We'll give you notice before any price change affects you, and the new price will apply at your next renewal. If you don't want to continue at the new price, you can cancel before then.

9. Privacy and Security

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using Maker1, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States.

We work hard to keep Maker1 secure, but no online service can guarantee perfect security.

10. Copyright and Trademark Concerns

We respect intellectual property rights and ask our users to do the same. If you believe something published on Maker1 infringes your copyright or trademark, please contact us at support@maker1.ai or by mail at:

Maker1
Attn: Copyright Agent
2401 E 6th St Apt 3037 #323
Austin, TX 78702

Please include a description of the work, where the infringing material appears, your contact information, and a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn't authorized.

11. Confidentiality

If we share non-public information with you (for example, about upcoming features or beta programs), please keep it confidential and use it only to evaluate or use Maker1. You can share it with your own advisors or team members who need to know and who will keep it private, or if the law requires it.

12. Warranties and Liability

12.1 Maker1 is provided "as is"

We work hard to make Maker1 reliable and useful, but we provide the Platform, including AI Output, "as is" and "as available." To the extent the law allows, we don't make promises that Maker1 will always be available, error-free, or that AI Output will be accurate or fit your specific needs.

12.2 Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, Maker1 and its team won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, such as lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, arising from your use of the Platform.

Our total liability for any claim related to these Terms or the Platform is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) $100.

Some states and countries don't allow certain limitations, so some of this section may not apply to you. You may also have other rights under local law.

13. Indemnification

If someone brings a legal claim against Maker1 because of Your Content, your site, how you treated your site visitors, or your violation of these Terms or the law, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim, including legal fees.

14. Changes and Ending Your Use

14.1 Changes to the Platform

We're always improving Maker1, so features may be added, changed, or removed over time. If we make a change that significantly affects paid features you rely on, we'll try to give you advance notice.

14.2 Canceling your account

You can stop using Maker1 and delete your account at any time.

14.3 Suspending or closing accounts

We may suspend or close an account if it seriously or repeatedly violates these Terms, poses a security risk, or if required by law. Where appropriate, we'll let you know and give you a chance to fix the issue first.

15. Updates to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll update the effective date above and let you know in advance, by email or through a notice on the Site. Small fixes (like typos or wording tweaks) will just update the "Last updated" date.

If you keep using Maker1 after updated Terms take effect, that means you accept them. If you don't agree with the changes, you can cancel your account before they take effect.

16. Resolving Disputes

16.1 Let's talk first

If you have a concern, please contact us first at support@maker1.ai or at our mailing address above. Most issues can be resolved quickly this way. We both agree to try to resolve any dispute informally for at least 30 days before taking formal action.

16.2 Arbitration

If we can't resolve a dispute informally, it will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable rules, including its Consumer Arbitration Rules where appropriate. This means disputes are decided by a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitration can take place online, by phone, or in Austin, Texas. For claims under $10,000, we'll cover the AAA filing and arbitrator fees unless the arbitrator finds the claim was frivolous.

16.3 Exceptions

Either of us can bring an individual claim in small claims court, or ask a court to stop the misuse of intellectual property.

16.4 Individual claims only

Disputes will be handled individually, not as part of a class action or representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, this entire Section 16 will not apply.

17. U.S. Sanctions

Because we're based in the U.S., we must follow U.S. sanctions and export laws. You may not use Maker1 if you're located in a country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions or if you're on a U.S. government list of restricted parties. We may restrict access where needed to comply with these laws.

18. General Terms

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. For any matter not handled through arbitration, the state and federal courts in Travis County, Texas will have jurisdiction.

International use. Maker1 is operated from the United States. If you use it from elsewhere, you're responsible for following your local laws.

Transferring these Terms. You may not transfer your account or these Terms to someone else without our permission. We may transfer these Terms if Maker1 is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Entire agreement. These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and any policies referenced here, are the full agreement between you and Maker1 about the Platform.

Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect.

No waiver. If we don't enforce part of these Terms right away, that doesn't mean we've given up the right to do so later.
