1. Who we are
StyleEssence ("the house", "we") provides a private online wardrobe, an AI creative director called Stella, a studio for generated images and short clips, a shared community floor called the Circle, and a marketplace where independent stylists ("architects") offer paid hours.
By opening an atelier you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the House Rules. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
2. Your atelier
You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent where you live if higher. You are responsible for your sign-in details and for everything done through your account.
Keep your information accurate. One person, one atelier. You may close your atelier at any time from Settings; closing removes your account and what you filed, and cancels any subscription immediately.
3. Your content
You keep ownership of the photographs, text and other material you file or post. You grant the house a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to store, process and display that material only to operate the service for you and, for Circle posts, for other members.
You confirm you have the right to upload what you upload, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights or break the House Rules.
4. Stella and the studio
Stella's suggestions and studio images are generated automatically. They are offered for inspiration, may be imperfect, and are not professional advice. Generated images may not be used to impersonate a real person or to mislead.
Use of Stella, stills and motion studies is rationed by plan as shown on the Plans page. Unused daily or monthly allowances do not carry over. Bonus stills from invitations are capped at thirty.
5. Plans and billing
Starter is free. Gold and Platinum are subscriptions billed monthly or yearly in US dollars at the prices posted on the Plans page at the time you subscribe. Local taxes may be added at checkout.
Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You may cancel at any time; access continues to the end of the paid period. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are non-refundable. If a renewal payment fails, paid features may be paused until payment succeeds.
We may change prices for future periods with at least 30 days' notice. Invitation rewards, including a one-time Gold grant after three qualified invitations, have no cash value.
6. Architects and hours
Architects are independent professionals, not employees or agents of the house. A named human reviewer checks each practice and credential before it is shown; review is not a guarantee of results.
An hour is requested by a member and confirmed by the architect. Either side may release it before the member marks it kept. The member pays the posted rate, or 85% of it on Platinum. The house keeps 20% of what the member paid; the architect receives the rest. Refunds reverse the payout and the house fee.
Architects set their own rate between US$40 and US$800 an hour, write their own words, and are responsible for their own taxes and professional obligations.
7. Acceptable use
Do not misuse the service: no harassment, hate, sexual content involving minors, illegal goods, spam, scraping, reverse engineering, attempts to break security, or use of the service to train competing models. The House Rules give more detail.
We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these Terms or the House Rules.
8. Intellectual property
The StyleEssence name, coin emblem, design, software and text are the property of StyleEssence. All rights reserved. Nothing in these Terms grants you a right to use them except to use the service as offered.
9. Disclaimers and liability
The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, the house disclaims implied warranties and is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or US$50 if greater.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.
10. Changes and law
We may update these Terms. When we do, we change the version number and ask you to accept again before continuing. These Terms are governed by the laws of the place where StyleEssence is established, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections where you live.
