Terms of Service

MIRA Subscription Services

MIRA is offered on paid subscription plans, currently Pro and Studio, at the recurring monthly price shown at checkout. Each plan's features are described on the Plans page at the time you subscribe.

What a subscription buys. A MIRA subscription raises the rate limits and throughput available to your account on the MIRA app, so that a higher-tier plan lets you work faster and run more generations in a given window. A subscription is not a bank of credits. It does not include any number of free asset generations, and it does not come with a credit allotment that rolls over or expires. To generate assets you purchase MIRA Generation Credits separately, as described in the MIRA Generation Credits section. Your subscription alone does not generate assets.

Recurring billing and automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each monthly billing period. We charge the payment method on file the price then in effect for your plan, on each renewal date, until you cancel. The recurring amount, the billing cadence, and the date of your next charge are shown to you at checkout before you subscribe, and your next billing date is displayed in your account at all times. We charge you for the recurring subscription only after you give your separate, affirmative consent to the recurring charge at checkout, presented clearly and next to the price, and we keep a record of the auto-renewal terms you accepted, as described in the IAA Terms Section 5.1. After you subscribe, we send you a subscription-confirmation email that you can retain, which states the recurring price, the billing cadence, the date of your next charge, and how to cancel, including the cancellation methods described under "How to cancel" below. The cancellation methods and the California Automatic Renewal Law protections in the IAA Terms Section 10.3 apply to your MIRA subscription in full, as described under "How to cancel" below. For subscribers on a founding rate, the renewal amount is the founding rate described in the Founding Author Pricing section, which remains a fixed percentage below the then-current standard price of your plan for as long as the subscription remains continuously active, subject to the limited price-adjustment right stated in that section.

How to cancel. You may cancel your MIRA subscription at any time, with no requirement to call or speak with anyone, by either of the following methods: an email to cancel@indieauthormedia.com from the email address on your account; or, for California residents, a written request mailed to the address in the IAA Terms Section 10.3. Where we provide a one-click cancellation in your account for your MIRA subscription, you may also cancel that way, and we will tell you in your account when that method is available to you. The cancellation methods and the California Automatic Renewal Law protections in the IAA Terms Section 10.3 apply to your MIRA subscription in full. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you are then in.

What happens when you cancel. After you cancel, you keep access to your paid features through the end of the billing period you have already paid for. We do not refund the current period or any prior period, and we do not prorate a voluntary mid-period cancellation, except where applicable law requires it. Any MIRA Generation Credits you have already purchased are governed by the MIRA Generation Credits section. They are not forfeited just because you cancel your subscription; cancelling your subscription does not erase credits you have already bought.

If a renewal payment fails. If we cannot charge your payment method on a renewal date, your account reverts to the free tier and your paid rate limits stop. We will attempt to charge again and will email you so you can update your payment method. To restore your plan, update your payment method and complete a successful charge. A lapse that you do not cure within the retry window releases any founding rate you held; see the Founding Author Pricing section. Your subscription is "continuously active" for purposes of these Terms only while each renewal is paid on time without an uncured lapse.

Changing plans. You may switch between Pro and Studio. The effective timing of a switch is as described at the point of the change. If you hold a founding rate and your subscription remains continuously active, your founding discount applies to whichever plan you are on after the switch.

Price changes for standard plans. Except for founding-rate subscribers, whose pricing is governed by the Founding Author Pricing section, we may change the standard subscription price, but only to reflect documented increases in our costs of providing the service, including the third-party model, image, and video generation costs we pay and general increases in our operating costs. We will email you at least 30 days before a standard-plan price change takes effect, and the new price applies on your next renewal after that notice. If you keep your subscription after the change takes effect, that is your acceptance of the new price.

No silent move from free to paid. If you use MIRA today on the free tier or under an alpha arrangement, we will not move you onto a paying plan without your fresh, affirmative opt-in at the paid checkout. Subscribing is always something you choose and confirm.

MIRA Generation Credits

What a Credit is. A MIRA Generation Credit is a prepaid unit that entitles you to make one generation request through MIRA, which consumes one Credit. It is the consumable you spend to actually generate an asset from your book. A Credit is a prepaid license to use the MIRA generation service. It is not money, not a deposit, and not a stored-cash balance. It has no cash value, is not redeemable for cash, and we show it to you as a counted number of Credits, never as a dollar amount in your account. Some asset types may consume more than one Credit; the number of Credits a given asset type consumes is always the number shown in the app at the time you generate.

Buying Credits. You buy Credits in advance at the price displayed at the time of purchase. We do not state Credit prices in these Terms; the price you pay is always the price shown to you at checkout when you buy.

How a Credit is spent. A Credit is consumed when you submit a generation request that MIRA accepts and processes. Credits are tied to your account. They are non-transferable and non-assignable, and you may not sell, share, barter, or otherwise dispose of them. They have no cash value.

Finality, and what happens when a generation fails. A completed Credit purchase is final, except as described in the next paragraph and except as applicable law requires. If a generation request fails for a reason attributable to MIRA or its generation systems, and no usable asset is produced, the Credit spent on that request is restored to your account. To get a failed-generation Credit restored today, contact support at support@indieauthormedia.com and we will review and restore the Credit. This remedy does not apply where a usable asset is produced and you simply do not like the creative result, where the failure was caused by the content you supplied, or where the request broke these Terms.

Credits do not expire. MIRA Generation Credits you have purchased do not expire. They remain available in your account until you use them.

What happens to unused Credits. If you cancel your subscription, the Credits you have already purchased remain usable in your account; they do not expire, they are not cash-refundable, and cancelling your subscription does not remove them. If we terminate or suspend your account for a violation of these Terms or the IAA Terms, your access to your unused Credits is suspended for as long as the violation or the termination stands. Where stored-value, gift-card, or unclaimed-property law requires us to honor or refund a prepaid balance, we will do so. We do not provide cash refunds for unused Credits on a voluntary cancellation, except where applicable law requires.

Changes to what a Credit gets you. The number of Credits required to generate a given asset type, and the standard price of Credits, may change over time as our costs change, including the cost of the third-party models that do the generating. If we increase the number of Credits required to generate an asset type, we will give notice before that increase takes effect. Some asset types may require more than one Credit; the number of Credits an asset type requires is always the number shown in the app at the time you generate, under the Credit-per-asset mapping then in effect.

Founding Author Pricing

Founding Author Pricing is an early-author offer. It gives you a fixed percentage discount off the standard price of your plan, in the amount shown to you at enrollment, and a founding price on MIRA Generation Credits. We do not restate dollar figures or percentages in these Terms; the discount and the price you see at checkout govern.

Who is eligible. Founding Author Pricing is available to eligible early authors whose first successful MIRA subscription payment is dated on or before July 15, 2026 at 23:59 in the time zone shown at checkout. After that cutoff, Founding Author Pricing is closed to new enrollments. "First successful subscription payment" means the first time we successfully charge your payment method for a paid MIRA subscription.

What it includes, while your subscription stays continuously active. While your MIRA subscription remains continuously active, you receive the founding discount off the standard subscription price of your current plan, and the founding price on MIRA Generation Credits, both as stated at your enrollment. The price you pay and renew at is always the price shown to you at checkout before you pay.

It follows your plan. If you switch between Pro and Studio while your subscription remains continuously active, your founding discount applies to the plan you switch to.

How long the founding discount holds. Your founding discount is held for as long as your subscription remains continuously active. It is permanent while you stay subscribed, and it is released only if your subscription lapses or you cancel. The discount is a fixed percentage below the standard price of your plan, and it stays the same percentage below the standard price even if the standard price changes.

How prices can change. Both the standard price of your plan and your founding price may change over time, but only to reflect documented increases in our costs of providing the service, including the third-party model, image, and video generation costs we pay and general increases in our operating costs. We will email you at least 30 days before any such change takes effect. Whenever the standard price changes, your founding price is recalculated so that it remains the same percentage below the then-current standard price that you received at enrollment. We do not raise your founding price for any reason other than a documented cost increase while your subscription stays continuously active.

If you cancel or lapse. If your subscription lapses or you cancel, Founding Author Pricing is released. If you later re-subscribe, the standard pricing then in effect applies, and Founding Author Pricing does not come back.

How this interacts with standard price changes. While you hold Founding Author Pricing and stay continuously active, the standard-plan price-change mechanism in the MIRA Subscription Services section, and any reserved fee-change right in the IAA Terms, do not raise your founding price except as expressly permitted in the paragraph above on how prices can change, and any such change keeps your founding price the same percentage below the then-current standard price. The 30-day email notice for price changes applies to founding and non-founding subscribers alike.

AI Processing and Generated Assets

This section supersedes the IAA Terms only as to how MIRA handles AI processing and the assets you generate with MIRA. For everything it does not specifically change, including the DMCA designated agent, the IAA trademarks, the no-training infrastructure commitments, and the authoritative list of sub-processors in the Privacy Policy, the IAA Terms and the Privacy Policy continue to control, and we do not restate them here.

You own your book. You keep full and exclusive ownership of your manuscript and the other source content you supply. Indexing or uploading your book to MIRA does not assign IAA any ownership of your source work. It only grants the operating license described below, so that we can run the service for you.

Consent to AI processing. Generating an asset transmits excerpts of your manuscript to third-party providers of large-language-model, image, and video generation, for example Anthropic and Google, named here only as illustrations. The authoritative, current list of these providers is the sub-processor list in the Privacy Policy. We use these providers only to generate the assets you ask MIRA to create.

Training. IAA does not train any AI or language model on your manuscripts or your generated assets. The third-party providers we currently use operate under agreements that prohibit them from training their models on your content, where those agreements apply.

Ownership of the assets you generate. To the extent any intellectual-property rights exist in an asset you generate with MIRA and are assignable, IAA hereby assigns those rights to you under these MIRA Terms. To the extent those rights exist but cannot be assigned, or do not exist, you receive the license described next. The license you receive to use your generated assets commercially, and the position on whether AI-generated output is protectable, are governed by the IAA Terms Section 8.4. Under that section you receive a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use the output generated for your account for any commercial purpose, subject to the terms of the underlying AI provider where applicable. Some elements of an AI-generated asset may not be owned by anyone under current law. We do not otherwise restate or replace that grant here.

No promise that an asset is protectable. Generated assets are produced using artificial intelligence. We do not warrant that any generated asset is protectable by copyright or any other intellectual property right.

The operating license you grant for generated assets. So that MIRA can run for you, you grant IAA a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to host, store, process, reproduce, and display the assets MIRA generates for you, and to show them back to you in the app. We transmit or publish a generated asset to any outside destination only when you explicitly initiate that action yourself, for example when you choose to push an asset to TikTok from within MIRA. IAA does not have a standing right to publish your generated assets on its own channels through MIRA.

Your responsibility for your source content. You represent that the manuscript and other content you supply, and from which assets are generated, is yours or that you hold the rights to use it, and that generating and publishing assets from it will not infringe anyone else's rights. Your indemnification of IAA under the IAA Terms Section 14 applies to your source content and to the assets you generate and publish from it.

Using the assets you paid for. You may commercially use and publish the paid assets you generate with Credits, with no royalty owed to IAA and no claw-back, subject only to two things: any IAA-supplied template, stock, or design elements built into an asset remain IAA's and are licensed to you for use with that asset, and the terms of the AI provider where applicable. This preserves the commercial-use grant in the IAA Terms Section 8.4.

Where IAA's reverse-IP indemnity reaches. The IAA Terms Section 8.5 reverse-IP indemnity covers IAA-supplied visual elements, templates, stock imagery, and design components. Output derived from your own source content is your responsibility under the paragraph above on your source content, while IAA-supplied design elements built into an asset stay covered by Section 8.5.

No guarantee of results. We do not guarantee any outcome from the paid assets you generate, including book sales, views, follower growth, Kindle Unlimited reads, viral reach, or any platform performance. AI output can contain errors and inaccuracies, and you are responsible for reviewing every generated asset before you publish or distribute it. The AI-output disclaimer in the IAA Terms Section 13.3 applies to all MIRA-generated assets, including assets generated using Credits.

How to Cancel and Where to Find the IAA Terms

How to cancel. You may cancel your MIRA subscription at any time, with no requirement to call or speak with anyone, by either of these methods: an email to cancel@indieauthormedia.com from the email address on your account; or, for California residents, a written request mailed to the address in the IAA Terms Section 10.3. Where we provide a one-click cancellation in your account for your MIRA subscription, you may also cancel that way, and we will tell you in your account when that method is available to you. The cancellation methods and the California Automatic Renewal Law protections in the IAA Terms Section 10.3 apply to your MIRA subscription in full. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you are then in, and any Credits you have already purchased remain available to use.

Questions. For any question about these MIRA Terms, your subscription, or your Credits, email support@indieauthormedia.com.

Where the IAA Terms live. These MIRA Terms incorporate the Indie Author Academy Terms of Service by reference. You can read the full IAA Terms, including arbitration, the limitation of liability, governing law, the cancellation and automatic-renewal procedures, and the DMCA policy, at indieauthormedia.com/terms. The version of the IAA Terms incorporated into this document is shown next to the MIRA version identifier in the footer of this page, so that any drift between the two layers is visible.
