IMPORTANT NOTICE — PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING

ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you agree that any disputes arising from or related to this Agreement or the Services shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration and not through class action litigation. Please review Sections 21 and 22 carefully.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK. The Services provide access to artificial intelligence models that may generate content that is inaccurate, biased, or otherwise unexpected. You acknowledge and accept all risks associated with the use of AI-generated content, including but not limited to inaccuracies, errors, or unintended outputs. Please review Section 12 carefully.

LIABILITY DISCLAIMER. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company disclaims all liability for any damages, losses, claims, or injuries arising from or related to your use of the Services, the content generated through the Services, or any actions taken in reliance on such content. Please review Sections 13, 14, and 15 carefully.

INTERMEDIARY STATUS. The Company provides access to third-party AI models and does not generate content itself. The Company acts as an intermediary platform. The applicability of any safe harbor or intermediary liability protections (including but not limited to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act) to AI-generated content is an evolving area of law, and the Company makes no representation that such protections will apply in any particular circumstance. Please review Section 10 carefully.

2.1 Binding Agreement

This Agreement becomes binding when you affirmatively accept it by checking the "I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy" checkbox during account registration (a "clickwrap" acceptance). By checking this box and creating your Account, you irrevocably and unconditionally agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety. The Company logs the timestamp and associated account identifier of your acceptance for recordkeeping purposes. If you do not agree to all terms and conditions contained herein, you must not create an Account and must immediately cease all use of the Platform.

2.3 Electronic Agreement

You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a legally binding contract, and that your electronic acceptance (whether by clicking, tapping, or otherwise indicating acceptance) constitutes your electronic signature and carries the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature. You waive any objection to the enforceability of this Agreement based on its electronic form.

2.4 Continued Use as Acceptance

Your continued use of the Platform following any modification, amendment, or update to this Agreement constitutes your acceptance of such changes. It is your sole responsibility to review this Agreement periodically for changes.

3.4 One Account Per User

Each User may maintain only one Account unless expressly authorized by the Company in writing. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, evade bans, or manipulate the Platform is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

Section 4: Description of Services

4.1 Platform Overview

The Platform provides Users with access to AI Models capable of generating text, images, video, code, and other forms of Content in response to User Inputs. The Platform integrates third-party AI Models via API connections and may offer varying levels of content moderation or filtering depending on the configuration and User preferences.

4.1A Third-Party API Dependency

The Platform depends on specialized third-party API providers (its "upstream providers") to deliver its core AI functionality. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) these upstream providers may change their terms of service, acceptable use policies, pricing, or technical capabilities at any time without notice to you; (b) if an upstream provider restricts, suspends, or discontinues functionality, the Company is not liable for any resulting reduction, modification, or discontinuation of Platform features; (c) the Company does not control the content filtering, safety mechanisms, or output quality of third-party AI Models; and (d) you must comply not only with this Agreement but also with the terms and acceptable use policies of all upstream providers whose services are accessed through the Platform. Violation of an upstream provider's terms through your use of the Platform constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

4.2 No Guarantee of Availability

The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted, continuous, timely, secure, or error-free access to the Platform. The Platform may be subject to scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, updates, upgrades, or outages. You acknowledge that the Company shall not be liable for any interruption, delay, or unavailability of the Platform for any reason whatsoever.

4.3 Modifications to Services

The Company reserves the right to modify, update, suspend, discontinue, or eliminate any feature, functionality, or aspect of the Platform at any time, with or without notice, and without any liability to you. This includes, without limitation, changes to AI Models, API integrations, user interface, available features, pricing, and Content moderation policies.

4.4 Beta and Experimental Features

The Platform may include beta, experimental, or preview features that are provided "as-is" and "as available" without any warranties whatsoever. Use of such features is at your sole risk, and the Company makes no commitments regarding their continued availability, performance, or functionality.

4.5 Credits and Payments

Certain features of the Service, including image generation, image editing, and video generation, require credits. Credits can be purchased through the Service via Stripe, our third-party payment processor.

  • Credits are non-refundable once purchased, except as required by applicable law. Unused credits remain in your account and do not expire under normal circumstances.
  • We reserve the right to change credit pricing, consumption rates, credit packages, and the availability of any credit-based features at any time without prior notice.
  • Failed or incomplete AI generations due to technical issues, model capacity limits, content policy violations by the AI provider, or any other reason may still consume credits. We are not obligated to refund credits for failed generations.
  • You are responsible for all applicable taxes associated with your purchases.
  • Any fraudulent, unauthorized, or suspicious payment activity may result in immediate account suspension and forfeiture of all credits.
  • Refund Policy: If you experience a technical issue attributable to the Platform (not the upstream AI provider) that prevents you from using purchased credits, you may request a refund within fourteen (14) days of purchase by contacting support@dolphy.chat. Refund requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Credits that have been consumed are not eligible for refund. For EU/EEA consumers, the 14-day withdrawal right under the Consumer Rights Directive applies to unused credits.

Section 5: Acceptable Use Policy

5.1 General Obligations

You agree to use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in accordance with this Agreement, all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances, and all policies incorporated herein by reference. You are solely and exclusively responsible for ensuring that your use of the Platform complies with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, regulations, and standards.

5.2 User Responsibility for Outputs

You acknowledge and agree that you bear sole and complete responsibility for any and all Generated Outputs that you request, receive, use, distribute, publish, share, or otherwise make available. The Company provides the AI Model as a tool; you, as the User, are the operator of that tool and are solely responsible for how you employ it and what you do with its outputs.

5.3 Professional and Specialized Use Prohibition

Generated Outputs are not intended to constitute and shall not be relied upon as professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to legal advice, medical advice, financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, engineering advice, psychological or therapeutic advice, or any other form of licensed professional guidance.

The Company reserves the right to cooperate fully with law enforcement authorities and comply with court orders requesting or directing the disclosure of the identity or other information of any User.

Section 7: User Responsibilities and Obligations

7.1 Complete Responsibility for Use

You acknowledge, agree, and accept that you are solely, completely, and exclusively responsible for: (a) all Prompts and User Inputs you submit to the Platform; (b) all Generated Outputs you receive, regardless of their content; (c) any and all uses to which you put Generated Outputs; (d) verifying the accuracy, legality, safety, and appropriateness of all Generated Outputs before any use; (e) ensuring that your use of the Platform and Generated Outputs complies with all applicable laws; and (f) any and all consequences arising from your use of the Platform.

7.2 Duty to Review and Verify

You acknowledge that AI Models may produce outputs that are inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, biased, offensive, harmful, or otherwise unreliable. You accept an affirmative and non-delegable duty to independently review, verify, fact-check, and validate all Generated Outputs before relying on them or making them available to third parties. Failure to exercise this duty constitutes negligence on your part for which the Company shall bear no responsibility.

7.3 Compliance Program

If you use the Platform for business or commercial purposes, you agree to implement and maintain reasonable internal policies, procedures, training programs, and compliance measures to ensure that all individuals accessing the Platform through your Account understand and comply with this Agreement.

7.4 Record Retention

If you use the Platform for business or commercial purposes, you agree to maintain accurate records of your use of the Platform, including Prompts and Generated Outputs, for a minimum period of two (2) years or such longer period as required by applicable law. Individual consumers are encouraged, but not required, to maintain their own records.

7.5 Reporting Obligations

If you become aware of any violation of this Agreement by any User, any illegal activity conducted through the Platform, any security vulnerability, or any other matter that may affect the safety, integrity, or legality of the Platform, you agree to promptly report such matter to the Company at support@dolphy.chat.

7.6 CSAM Reporting

The Company maintains a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The Company will report any apparent violations involving the sexual exploitation of children to the appropriate authorities, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline, and will cooperate fully with law enforcement investigations. The Company retains relevant records as required by federal law for law enforcement purposes. If you encounter or become aware of any CSAM or content that sexually exploits minors on or through the Platform, you must immediately report it to the Company at support@dolphy.chat and to NCMEC at CyberTipline.org. Failure to report known CSAM may itself constitute a violation of federal law.

Section 8: Content and Output Ownership

8.1 User Input Ownership

As between you and the Company, you retain ownership of your Prompts and User Inputs, subject to the licenses granted herein. By submitting Prompts to the Platform, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, process, display, distribute, and create derivative works of your Prompts for the purposes of: (a) providing, maintaining, and improving the Platform and Services; (b) complying with legal obligations; and (c) any other purpose related to the Company's business operations. This license continues for as long as needed to fulfill the above purposes, but is subject to your data deletion rights under applicable law (including GDPR Article 17 for EU/EEA/UK Users). Upon a valid erasure request, the Company will delete your identifiable Prompts from its systems within the timeframes required by law, except where retention is required for legal compliance or the exercise or defense of legal claims.

8.2 Generated Output

The ownership, intellectual property status, and legal rights associated with AI-Generated Outputs are subject to evolving and unsettled law. The Company makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding your ownership of, intellectual property rights in, or exclusive rights to any Generated Output. You acknowledge that: (a) identical or substantially similar Generated Outputs may be produced for other Users; (b) Generated Outputs may not qualify for intellectual property protection under applicable law; (c) the Company does not claim ownership of Generated Outputs but also does not warrant that you will have exclusive rights thereto; and (d) you use Generated Outputs entirely at your own risk with respect to any intellectual property claims.

8.3 License to Company

You grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, display, distribute, and create derivative works of any Generated Outputs for the purposes of improving the Platform, research, and business operations. As noted in Section 10.5, Generated Outputs are stored locally on your device and not retained on the Company's servers.

8.4 Feedback

Any Feedback you provide to the Company shall become the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You hereby irrevocably assign to the Company all right, title, and interest in and to any Feedback, including all intellectual property rights therein, and waive any and all moral rights you may have in such Feedback.

Section 9: User-Generated Content

9.1 Responsibility for User Content

You are solely responsible for all content you create, submit, upload, transmit, or make available through the Platform, including all Prompts and any content derived from Generated Outputs. The Company does not pre-screen, monitor, edit, endorse, or guarantee User content and shall not be responsible or liable for any User content.

9.2 Content Representations

By submitting content to the Platform, you represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to submit and use such content; (b) the content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; (c) the content does not violate any applicable law or regulation; and (d) the content does not contain any viruses, malware, or other harmful code.

9.3 Right to Remove Content

The Company reserves the right, but not the obligation, to review, monitor, refuse, remove, or disable access to any content available through the Platform, at its sole discretion and without notice or liability.

9.4 Likeness Content and Real-Person Media Certification

Certain features of the Platform allow you to upload photographs, images, or videos that may depict real, identifiable individuals ("Likeness Content") for use in content generation. Each time you upload Likeness Content — whether through the Platform interface or the API — you certify, represent, and warrant that:

  • the likeness in any media you upload — and in any content the Platform generates from it — is your own, or you have obtained explicit, legally valid consent from every individual depicted, covering this specific use;
  • you are eighteen (18) years of age or older, and every person depicted in the media is eighteen (18) years of age or older;
  • you own or have all necessary rights and permissions to use all media you upload for content generation;
  • you will not use the Platform to create intimate, sexual, or otherwise exploitative content depicting any real person without that person's explicit consent, including but not limited to content prohibited by the TAKE IT DOWN Act, state non-consensual-intimate-imagery statutes, and equivalent laws in your jurisdiction; and
  • you understand that a violation of any of the above is a material breach of this Agreement that may result in immediate account termination, forfeiture of credits, and referral to law enforcement where required by law, and that you bear sole legal responsibility for any such violation.

Use of the API to submit Likeness Content constitutes the same certification for each submission, without a separate interface prompt.

9.5 Likeness Consent Records

For compliance, audit, and legal-defense purposes, the Company retains a record of each Likeness Content certification consisting of: the certifying account identifier (or request IP address for non-authenticated trials), a timestamp, the certification version accepted, the feature used, and a one-way cryptographic hash (fingerprint) of the uploaded media. This record does not contain the media itself, is not biometric data, and cannot be used to reconstruct the uploaded media or any individual's likeness. The uploaded media itself is processed transiently to fulfill your generation request and is not retained by the Company beyond what is required to deliver the feature. You may request a copy of, or the deletion of, your certification records by contacting support@dolphy.chat; note that the Company may retain records where required for legal compliance or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Section 10: Third-Party Services and APIs

10.1 Third-Party Integration

The Platform incorporates, integrates with, or provides access to third-party services, APIs, models, tools, or technologies (collectively, "Third-Party Services"), including but not limited to upstream AI inference providers for AI generation, Google OAuth via Firebase Authentication, and Stripe for payment processing. Your use of any Third-Party Services is subject to the terms, conditions, and policies of the respective Third-Party Providers, in addition to this Agreement.

10.2 No Endorsement or Warranty

The Company does not endorse, guarantee, warrant, or assume responsibility for any Third-Party Services, including their accuracy, reliability, safety, legality, availability, or suitability for any purpose. The Company shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or claims arising from your use of or reliance on Third-Party Services.

10.3 Third-Party Terms

You acknowledge and agree that: (a) Third-Party Services are governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies; (b) it is your sole responsibility to review and comply with such terms; (c) the Company is not a party to any agreement between you and a Third-Party Provider; and (d) any dispute regarding Third-Party Services must be resolved directly with the Third-Party Provider.

10.4 Chain-of-Liability and Upstream Claims

The Company acts as an intermediary that provides access to third-party AI services. You acknowledge that if the Company is held liable, penalized, or incurs any costs by an upstream Third-Party Provider as a result of your actions, Prompts, use of Generated Outputs, or any violation of the upstream provider's terms caused by your conduct, your indemnification obligations under Section 13 specifically extend to and cover all such upstream claims, penalties, costs, and damages. This includes, without limitation, any API access revocation, fines, legal claims, or financial losses the Company suffers as a consequence of your use of the Platform.

10.5 Content Ownership Pass-Through

Any rights in Generated Outputs that the Company conveys or assigns to you are limited to and contingent upon the rights actually granted to the Company by the applicable upstream Third-Party Provider. The Company makes no representation or warranty that the rights granted by upstream providers are sufficient for any particular use. You acknowledge that output ownership rights are passed through from the upstream provider and are subject to whatever rights, limitations, and conditions the upstream provider actually grants.

Section 11: AI-Generated Content Disclaimers

11.1 Nature of AI-Generated Content

You acknowledge and understand that Generated Outputs are produced by artificial intelligence models using statistical pattern matching and probabilistic algorithms. AI Models do not understand, comprehend, verify, or fact-check the content they generate. Generated Outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, fabrications, hallucinations, biases, outdated information, offensive material, or content that is otherwise unreliable or inappropriate.

11.2 No Endorsement

The Company does not endorse, verify, guarantee, or adopt any Generated Output as its own expression, opinion, or statement. Generated Outputs do not represent the views, opinions, beliefs, or recommendations of the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, or affiliates.

11.3 AI Limitations Acknowledgment

You expressly acknowledge and accept that: (a) AI Models may "hallucinate" — generating content that appears factual but is entirely fabricated; (b) AI Models may generate biased, discriminatory, or stereotypical content reflecting biases in training data; (c) AI Models may produce content that violates laws, regulations, or third-party rights; (d) AI Models may generate content that is harmful, offensive, or dangerous if acted upon; (e) AI Models may produce inconsistent outputs for identical or similar inputs; (f) the quality and reliability of Generated Outputs may vary significantly; and (g) AI technology is rapidly evolving and inherently unpredictable.

11.4 No Reliance

You agree not to rely on Generated Outputs as the sole basis for any decision, action, or inaction that could have legal, financial, medical, safety, or other significant consequences. Any reliance you place on Generated Outputs is strictly at your own risk.

Section 12: Assumption of Risk

12.0 Safety Measures Disclaimer

The Company may implement certain content filtering, safety mechanisms, or automated detection systems (collectively, "Safety Measures") in connection with the Platform. Any such Safety Measures are provided on a best-efforts basis only and are not guaranteed to prevent, detect, or filter all harmful, illegal, offensive, or otherwise objectionable content. The existence of Safety Measures does not create a duty of care, warranty of safety, or guarantee of effectiveness. You acknowledge that no automated content moderation system is capable of intercepting all potentially harmful outputs and that the ultimate responsibility for the use of Generated Outputs rests solely with you.

12.1 Voluntary Assumption

BY USING THE PLATFORM, YOU VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH USE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (a) EXPOSURE TO CONTENT THAT MAY BE OFFENSIVE, DISTURBING, INACCURATE, HARMFUL, OR OTHERWISE OBJECTIONABLE; (b) THE POSSIBILITY OF ENCOUNTERING AI-GENERATED MISINFORMATION OR FABRICATED CONTENT; (c) POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN GENERATED OUTPUTS; (d) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACTING ON AI-GENERATED ADVICE OR INFORMATION; (e) POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO SECURITY VULNERABILITIES; (f) RISKS OF DATA LOSS OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS; AND (g) ANY OTHER RISKS INHERENT IN THE USE OF AI-POWERED TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS.

12.2 Informed Consent

You confirm that you have been fully informed of the risks associated with the use of the Platform and that you freely and voluntarily choose to accept those risks. You agree that the Company has provided adequate notice of such risks through this Agreement and that this informed consent constitutes a valid defense to any claims you may bring against the Company.

12.3 Release of Claims

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, losses, costs, expenses, and liabilities of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, that you now have, have ever had, or may in the future have, arising out of or in any way related to your use of the Platform. THIS IS A GENERAL RELEASE. You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code Section 1542, or any similar statute in any other jurisdiction, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

Section 13: Indemnification

13.1 User Indemnification

13.3 Upstream Provider Claims

Without limiting the generality of Section 13.1, your indemnification obligations specifically include any claims, penalties, fines, API access revocations, or losses that the Company incurs from any upstream Third-Party Provider as a direct or indirect result of your use of the Platform, your Prompts, your Generated Outputs, or your violation of the upstream provider's terms of service or acceptable use policies.

The full indemnification obligations of Section 13.1 apply to all Business Users (as defined in Section 1.1).

If any part of this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, the remainder of the arbitration provision shall still apply.

The unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its original intent.

Section 26: Waiver

The Company's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by the Company.
