The rules of the darkroom

01 Who we are

CoverDrop (coverdropai.com) is run by codearchive, operated by Taner Tombaş, Kuzguncuk Mah., İcadiye 9, Üsküdar, İstanbul, Türkiye (“we”). You can reach us at support@coverdropai.com.

By creating an account or using CoverDrop you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.

02 What CoverDrop does

CoverDrop makes cover images for videos: 16:9 for YouTube and 9:16 for Shorts and Reels. You pick a template or a blank page, type a title and describe the picture. We send the description, the template’s instructions and, if you add one, your photo to an AI image model (OpenAI’s), set your title on the result as real type, and give you a sheet of variants to choose from and download.

Generated pictures are made by a machine and can be wrong, odd or similar to other images. Look at a cover before you publish it.

03 Your account

• You can sign in with Google, or with an email address and a password.
• An account is for one person. Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account.
• You must be at least 18 years old to use CoverDrop.
• You can ask us to close your account and delete your data by writing to support@coverdropai.com. We handle these requests by hand and answer within 30 days.

04 What you may and may not make

You may only give CoverDrop material you have the right to use. In particular:

• Photos of people: only of yourself, or of people who have agreed to it. You confirm this each time you add a photo.
• No face swaps and no deepfakes. No likeness of a real person without that person’s consent: no celebrities, no one you are imitating, no lookalikes, whether from an upload or a description.
• No logos, trademarks, brands or copyrighted characters that aren’t yours to use.
• Nothing sexual, nothing that harasses or demeans people, nothing illegal, and nothing meant to deceive people about who made it.

The image model has its own safety checks and may refuse a picture; when it does, the variant is marked as spoiled and its credits are returned. We may also refuse, remove or stop serving anything that breaks these rules, and close accounts that keep breaking them.

05 Your covers

We claim no rights in what you make. Whether the law gives anyone copyright in an image made with AI depends on the country, so we make no promise about that; you are free to use your covers, including commercially, as far as the law where you use them allows.

You allow us to store and process your titles, descriptions, photos and covers only to run CoverDrop for you: to generate, show, keep in your gallery and let you download them.

06 Credits and payments

• CoverDrop runs on credits. Each variant costs the number of credits shown before you generate; current prices are on the pricing page.
• If a variant fails, its credits go back to your balance automatically.
• The monthly plan adds its credits each time a month’s payment goes through; if a renewal payment fails, no credits are added for that month. Credits you don’t use roll over. Credit packs add their credits once, when the payment goes through. Packs can be bought with or without the plan.
• Credits have no cash value and can’t be transferred to another account.
• Paddle is our merchant of record. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Paddle sells to you, takes the payment, handles sales tax or VAT and issues your receipts and invoices, and its Buyer Terms apply to the purchase.
• You can cancel the plan at any time; it stops at the end of the month you have paid for, and the credits you have stay yours.
• Refunds are described in the refund policy. If a purchase is refunded, the credits it added are taken back (in proportion, for a partial refund), and your balance can go below zero until more credits are added.

07 Availability and changes

We work to keep CoverDrop running, but we can’t promise it will always be available or that a variant will be ready by a certain time: generation can wait in a queue when it is busy. We may change, add or remove features and templates.

08 Warranty and liability

CoverDrop is provided as it is and as available. We don’t promise that it will be uninterrupted or free of errors, or that a generated image will suit your purpose. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profits, lost views or lost data, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

09 Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, and disputes go to the courts of Istanbul. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in.

10 Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we will update the date at the top and tell signed-in users at least 14 days before a change that matters takes effect.
