JOYFL, operated by GoForth Foundation, a Utah nonprofit corporation doing business as Saints and Neighbors, supports responsible creative tools without allowing users to misappropriate other people's rights or identity. This policy supplements the General Platform Terms and each work-specific upload or Challenge agreement. It does not independently convey copyright or likeness rights.
At each song, fragment or Challenge upload, provide accurate answers to whether generative AI materially created or changed the lyrics, melody, composition, instrumentals, vocals, master, artwork or video. Identify the tool, relevant contribution, and any external licenses or restrictions when requested. Ordinary audio cleanup, pitch correction, noise reduction, and non-generative mastering need not be labeled generative AI merely because software automates them; disclose when a tool materially fabricates a creative performance or composition. JOYFL may request evidence of human contribution, licensed training/input rights, and consent.
You may not clone or synthesize an identifiable person's singing voice, speaking voice, face or other likeness without that person's documented authorization and any other required rights, including after their death where applicable. A copyright license in a song does not automatically authorize a synthetic imitation of the recording artist. Do not fabricate a collaboration, celebrity endorsement, real singer credit, or live performance. A minor's voice/likeness requires heightened scrutiny and appropriate guardian and individual permission; JOYFL may decline voice cloning involving minors entirely.
AI-generated material may have ownership or protectability limitations. You may license only rights that you actually hold and must identify third-party datasets, stock loops, generated outputs, samples, or platform restrictions that conflict with the selected JOYFL license. Uploading AI-created material does not guarantee copyright ownership or award eligibility. A Challenge may set an express human-contribution eligibility rule or reject uncopyrightable/unassignable elements if JOYFL cannot secure the required final rights. The legal extent of copyrightable human authorship is assessed separately from whether a tool was used.
A viewer's access to another creator's Work does not grant permission to scrape it, create datasets, fine-tune or train models, conduct automated bulk analysis, or extract stems for AI cloning. Separate authorization is required from each necessary rights owner. JOYFL's licensed ability to edit, arrange, re-record, promote or distribute a Work does not itself grant unrelated users AI training rights, and does not automatically grant JOYFL authority to clone a particular performer's voice. Any future JOYFL-operated AI training program requires separate, affirmative scope-specific consent and a technical/data use disclosure.
JOYFL may label material as AI-assisted, human-performed, or disputed; request credits/permissions; reject an upload; pause releases; remove unauthorized synthetic performances; and disqualify Challenge entries that violate Challenge-specific AI rules. JOYFL may preserve records needed to investigate a rights or impersonation complaint while following its Privacy Policy. Report unauthorized synthetic replicas using the removal-request form on the artist's profile page or contact@joyfl.music.
Platform-only permissions remain Platform-only; Expanded Distribution is separately accepted; Challenge winning-song ownership requires a signed final assignment. This Policy never replaces those agreements or authorizes a user to sublicense someone else's work commercially.
