If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, see Section 12 of the Terms of Use for our notice procedure and the contact details for our designated Copyright Agent.
6.2 Likeness, voice, and rights of publicity
You are responsible for obtaining all rights, permissions, releases, and consents required for any material you upload that depicts, records, or is used to replicate a real person, including their image, likeness, or voice. You may not:
● Upload or submit material depicting or recording another person without that person's permission.

● Creating profiles or dossiers on individuals without consent.

The Services are designed for storytelling and creative production. You may not use them for:

● Political campaigning. Creating synthetic content to support or attack candidates, parties, or ballot measures, or to interfere with democratic processes.
● Military and weapons development. Generating content for use in weapons systems, targeting, or combat operations.
● Professional services. Substituting Outputs for licensed professional advice in medicine, law, finance, tax, or mental health. The Services may produce general information on these topics, but Outputs do not constitute professional advice and must not be relied upon as such.
8. Competitive use and model training
You may not use the Services or Outputs to develop, train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve any competing generative AI model, service, or technology, or systematically extract Outputs to build training datasets. This restriction is set out in Section 4.7 of the Terms of Use, which permits limited internal, non-commercial use.
For the avoidance of doubt, this restriction runs in one direction only. We do not use your Inputs or Outputs to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve any model. See Section 4.4 of the Terms of Use.
9. Your responsibilities
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services complies with this Policy, the Terms of Use, all applicable laws, and the policies of any third-party platform on which you distribute Outputs.
Disclosure and labelling. You must comply with any applicable legal requirement to disclose or label AI-generated content in the jurisdictions where you publish. Several jurisdictions now impose such requirements for advertising, political content, and synthetic depictions of real people.
Before using the Services for sensitive, high-risk, or novel applications, you should conduct appropriate risk assessments, implement safeguards and human oversight, obtain legal advice as appropriate, and secure necessary permissions and authorizations.
Effect on indemnification. Use of the Services in breach of this Policy is a breach of the Agreement, and Outputs generated or used in breach are excluded from the indemnity in Section 9.2 of the Terms of Use. See Section 9.4 of the Terms of Use.
10. Context and exceptions
Storytelling explores difficult subject matter. We may permit content that would otherwise fall within Sections 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 where it is clearly intended for artistic, educational, documentary, journalistic, or scientific purposes, or where the public benefit substantially outweighs the potential harm.
In evaluating an exception we consider the context and intent of the generation, its educational or artistic value, the public interest served, and whether appropriate safeguards are in place.
No exception is available under any circumstances for: child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate imagery, real-world harassment of identifiable individuals, content designed to interfere with civic processes, or the security and system integrity prohibitions in Section 3.
If you believe your use case merits an exception, contact us at legal@FilmSpark.ai before generating potentially prohibited content.
11. Enforcement
11.1 Detection and review
We use a combination of automated systems and human review to detect activity suggesting misuse of the Services, including attempts to circumvent safety measures. Our review of Content is limited as described in Section 3.2 of the Terms of Use and is subject to the confidentiality obligations in Section 4.8.
11.2 Actions we may take
Depending on the severity and frequency of the violation, we may issue a warning, remove Content, restrict access to features, suspend your Account, terminate your Account and access to all Services, report the violation to law enforcement, or pursue legal remedies.
11.3 Zero tolerance
Violations involving child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate imagery, or attacks on critical infrastructure result in immediate permanent termination and a report to law enforcement, without warning and without appeal.
11.4 Repeat infringers
Consistent with Section 12 of the Terms of Use, we maintain and reasonably implement a policy of terminating the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others. We record valid notices of claimed infringement against the relevant Account. An Account that accumulates three valid notices within a six month period will be terminated. We may terminate sooner in cases of egregious or willful infringement.
11.5 Appeals
If you believe enforcement action was taken in error, you may appeal within thirty (30) days by writing to legal@FilmSpark.ai. Include your account information, the Content or activity at issue, why you believe the action was incorrect, and any supporting documentation. We will review and respond within a reasonable time. Appeals are not available for the violations listed in Section 11.3. Nothing in this Section limits your rights under Section 16 of the Terms of Use.
12. Reporting violations
To report misuse or content that violates this Policy, contact legal@FilmSpark.ai. Please include a description of the violation, the location or identification of the Content, any relevant documentation, and your contact information if you are willing to provide it.
To report content that infringes your copyright, follow the notice procedure in Section 12 of the Terms of Use and send your notice to our designated Copyright Agent.
13. Outputs may be imperfect
Outputs are produced by machine learning models and may be inaccurate, unexpected, or offensive. You are solely responsible for reviewing Outputs and ensuring that any content you publish complies with applicable law and this Policy before distribution. This Section does not limit the warranty disclaimers in Section 10 of the Terms of Use.
14. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to address new risks, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make material changes we will update the date at the top of this Policy and notify users by email or in-product notification as appropriate, and provide a reasonable period for review before the changes take effect, except where an urgent security or legal issue requires immediate action. Your continued use of the Services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
15. Relationship to other agreements
This Policy forms part of the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Policy and the Terms of Use, the Terms of Use control. If you have entered into a separate written enterprise agreement with us, that agreement controls over both to the extent of any conflict.
