Terms of Service

Draft v0.1, written 2026-10-23. This text has not been reviewed by a lawyer and no operating entity has been chosen yet (see Open items at the end). It is published so that it can be reviewed, not so that it can be clicked.

1. What this service is

Avatar Studio is a tool. When you press Start, we forward your text, prompt or image to a third-party AI model operated by someone else, and we show you what comes back. We do not train or own those models, and we do not review what they produce before you see it.

We offer creation tools only. We do not sell access to another company's API, and you may not use your account to give anyone else access to it.

Binding on us, not a style choice: OpenAI §3.1 may not resell or lease access to its Account; fal do not expose any of the Services APIs directly to End Users; Together bans standalone resale; Alibaba Cloud and ByteDance ban reselling the service itself.

2. Your material

You keep the rights to what you upload. By uploading you confirm that you have permission for every face, voice and character in it that is not yours.

For each asset we record: which account uploaded it, which version of these terms was accepted at the time, and when. That record exists so a claim can be answered later. It is not proof that your claim was true, and we do not verify it.

3. What you cannot make here

Another person's voice. Not with their permission, not without it. We do not offer this and cannot turn it on. ElevenLabs: Even with their consent, you cannot clone someone else's voice.
Real people you are not. No celebrities, public figures, politicians or anyone presented as a real person without their own consent. HeyGen bans representing celebrities or public figures, without their explicit consent; Akool bans content that misrepresents, impersonates, or harms individuals, celebrities, or brands; ElevenLabs bans impersonating candidates.
Political material. Campaigning, advocacy or commentary about named candidates and parties. HeyGen lists political content as non-permissible; ElevenLabs requires prior written consent for political campaigning.
Anything presented as real when it is not. No fabricated evidence, no fake documents, no content intended to defraud or to humiliate a person.
Sexual content involving anyone under 18, and any content that harms a child. Reported, not merely removed.

4. AI labels stay on

Results carry machine-readable provenance and a visible label. You may not remove, hide, crop out or minimise either one, and we will not sell you a setting that does. Some models mark their output at the provider level, which means the mark is not ours to switch off even if you asked.

Google SynthID; D-ID shall not remove, hide or minimize its Synthetic Mark; OpenAI forbids removing source identifiers; Alibaba Cloud requires a prominent watermark; ByteDance forbids deleting, altering or hiding deep-synthesis labels.

What this does not restrict is ordinary presentation — you may crop a video to a different aspect ratio, and a paid tier may change which watermark of ours appears. It restricts passing AI output off as unassisted.

5. Money

Credits are the unit you buy. The credit cost of a job is shown on the create screen before you press Start, and that is the amount charged. If a job ends without producing a result for you — including where it is stopped by content screening — the credits are returned.

Prices move when the underlying model's price moves, or when a model is withdrawn. We do not promise a price for a period we have not quoted in writing.

6. Models come and go

We do not promise you a named model. Two flagship video APIs were withdrawn from developer access within 28 days of each other shortly before this draft was written, and we expect that to keep happening. Where a model disappears we substitute another that does the same job, or we refund.

Measured: OpenAI Sora 2 and its Videos API closed 2026-09-24; Google Veo 3.1 was removed from the Gemini API on 2026-10-22.

7. Availability, suspension, termination

This is a tool on the internet, not a utility. We do not guarantee uptime. We may suspend an account that breaches section 3 without notice, and we may shut the service down; if we do, we will tell you and refund unused credits.

8. Who is behind this

Not decided. See Open items. Until an entity exists, there is no one able to sign these terms with you, which is the main reason this page is marked as a draft.

Open items this draft cannot answer

Operating entity and jurisdiction — unresolved, and it also decides which model providers we may contract with at all. OpenAI's and Google's supported-region lists both exclude mainland China, and ElevenLabs requires a business entity for the tier we would need.
Refund window and the "stopped by screening" line in §5 — a policy choice, not a legal one. Whether providers bill us for screened requests is written in opposite directions by different upstreams and has not been measured. If we promise returns and are billed anyway, that gap is ours.
Age floor — not set. §3 bans child sexual content but the terms do not yet state who may hold an account.
Liability cap, warranty disclaimer, governing law, dispute venue — deliberately absent. These are the clauses most likely to be wrong if written without counsel.
Contact address — none exists yet, so nothing in these terms can actually be reached. See Rights holder notice.
