Terms of Use

Last updated: 25 August 2026

The short version: your work is yours. Use the App for your own ceramics, be decent to other makers in the Community feed, and treat anything the App generates for you — ideas, materials, firing suggestions, assistant answers — as a starting point to check, not instruction to follow. Kilns and glaze materials are genuinely hazardous, and only you can judge what is safe in your own studio.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Clay Studio (“we”, “us”, the “App”). They apply when you download, open or use the App. By using Clay Studio you accept these Terms; if you do not accept them, please do not use the App.

How we handle your information is set out separately in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

1. Who can use Clay Studio

Clay Studio is not directed to children under 13, and you may not use it if you are under 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the App with the involvement of a parent or guardian. Ceramics involves kilns, dust and chemicals; adult supervision matters.

2. Your account

You can use much of the App without signing in. Creating an account gives you backup and sync across devices, and access to the Community feed. You are responsible for keeping access to your email or sign-in provider secure, and for activity that happens under your account. Tell us at hello@claystudio.pro if you believe someone else is using it.

3. Your studio content

Your work stays yours. Your pieces, photos, notes, glazes and recipes belong to you, and nothing here transfers ownership of them to us. You grant us only the permission we need to operate the App for you: to store your content, to sync it between your devices, to back it up, and — if and only if you choose to post something to the Community feed — to display it there to other Clay Studio users.

You are responsible for the content you add: that you have the right to use it, and that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights.

You can delete your account and your content at any time from Profile → Delete account, or via our Data Deletion page.

4. AI features, and studio safety

Parts of Clay Studio are produced by an automated AI service: the ideas on the Inspiration grid, the technique, materials and tools listed for an idea, and — where it is available to you — the answers given by Sage, the in-app studio assistant.

This content is generated automatically. No person reviews it before you see it, and it can be incomplete, outdated or simply wrong. It is a prompt for your own judgement, not instruction to follow unchecked. Where Sage cites sources from the web, those pages are third-party content that we neither wrote nor verified.

This matters more in a ceramics studio than in most places, because some mistakes are dangerous rather than merely disappointing. In particular:

Firing. Cones, temperatures and firing schedules must come from the manufacturer’s data for your actual clay body and glazes, and from your kiln’s own manual. A schedule that is wrong for your materials can ruin a load, damage a kiln, or start a fire.
Materials and dust. Some ceramic materials are hazardous to breathe or handle — silica dust and certain colourants and fluxes among them. Follow the safety data sheet for every material you use, and your local rules on ventilation, dust control and protective equipment.
Ware that holds food or drink. Whether a glazed surface is safe to eat or drink from depends on the glaze recipe, how it was applied and how it was fired. It can only be established by proper testing — never by a suggestion from the App.

Clay Studio does not provide professional, safety, health or laboratory advice, and nothing in the App is a substitute for it. You remain responsible for your own studio, kiln, materials and finished work, and for verifying anything you act on. If a suggestion in the App conflicts with your material’s documentation, your kiln’s manual, or the rules where you work, follow those and not the App.

5. The Community feed

Posting is optional. When you post, be a decent studio-mate: no harassment, hate, threats, sexual content, spam or advertising, no impersonation, and nothing you do not have the right to share. Do not post advice you know to be unsafe.

You can block another maker and report a post or an account. We may remove content or suspend an account that breaks these Terms. We do not pre-screen posts, and posts are the responsibility of whoever wrote them.

6. Subscriptions, trials and payment

Clay Studio is free to use, with an optional paid subscription that unlocks additional features. Where a subscription is offered:

Prices are shown in the App before you buy, in your local currency.
Payment is taken by the Apple App Store or Google Play, not by us. We never see your card details.
Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings; cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves the current period running.
Refunds are handled by the store you bought through, under that store’s policy.
A new account may receive a free trial of the paid features. Where we offer one it requires no payment details, and it simply ends — it does not turn into a paid subscription unless you choose to subscribe.

If a subscription lapses, your existing work stays yours and stays readable. Paid features stop being available.

7. Acceptable use

Please do not: use the App unlawfully; attempt to access another maker’s account or content; reverse-engineer, scrape or automate against the App or our servers; interfere with its operation; or resell access to it. We rate-limit the AI features per account, and circumventing those limits is not permitted.

8. The App will change

We add, alter and remove features as the App develops, and a feature available today may not be tomorrow. We will not knowingly make your existing work unreadable.

9. Disclaimers

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any content it generates will be accurate or suitable for your purpose.

The App is offline-first and keeps your work on your device, and we back up synchronised content — but no system is perfect. Please keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, work, profit or opportunity, arising out of your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or ten (10) US dollars.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and you may have rights under your local consumer law that these Terms do not affect.

11. Ending your use

You can stop using Clay Studio at any time, and delete your account from inside the App. We may suspend or end access to an account that breaks these Terms, or where we are required to. Sections that by their nature should survive — ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law — continue to apply afterwards.

12. The app stores

These Terms are between you and Clay Studio, not with Apple or Google. Clay Studio, and not Apple or Google, is solely responsible for the App and its content, for support, and for any claim that the App infringes someone’s rights or fails to conform to a warranty. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the App must also comply with the terms of the store you obtained it from.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the competent courts of the State of Israel will have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. This does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-law rules in the country where you live, or of the right to bring a claim before your local courts where the law where you live gives you that right.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, give notice in the App. Continuing to use Clay Studio after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
