Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: September 29, 2026. The account and refund rules added in this version take effect on October 13, 2026.

This policy is part of our Terms of Service. It exists to protect real people – the subjects of photos – and to keep Photolaria safe and legal. We enforce it strictly.

Absolute prohibitions

These are zero-tolerance. Violations lead to immediate account suspension (our Refund Policy explains what then happens to payments and credits), and where the law requires or permits it, a report to the relevant authorities.

No content involving minors. You may not upload photos of anyone under 18, and you may not create any image depicting a minor – whether by editing or generating. There are no exceptions.
No sexual or intimate imagery of real people. The creation or generation of nude, semi-nude, or sexually explicit imagery of any real, identifiable person is prohibited – regardless of claimed consent. Non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) is prohibited in every form.
No deepfakes or impersonation. You may not create images intended to deceive others into believing a real person said or did something they did not, and you may not impersonate any person or organization.

You also may not

Upload photos of any person without their explicit consent – see the consent rules in our Terms of Service.
Use Photolaria for anything unlawful: fraud, harassment, threats, defamation, or the promotion of violence or discrimination.
Forge or alter documents and records – tickets and betting slips, receipts, invoices, payment or transfer confirmations, IDs, certificates, or screenshots of apps and accounts – or create images meant to mislead someone for money or any other gain.
Generate misleading political content or material designed to interfere with elections.
Probe, disrupt, or overload the service; upload malware; or attempt to access other users' accounts or data.
Scrape the service or use bots or automation to bulk-generate beyond your account's intended use, or reset guest sessions to collect extra bonus credits.
Create or use more than one account, or create a new account after one of yours was suspended – one person, one account, see section 2 of our Terms of Service.
Remove, alter, or obscure invisible watermarks or provenance metadata embedded in generated images (such as SynthID), or misrepresent an AI-generated image as an authentic photograph where the law requires disclosure.
Use the service or generated images in ways that violate the usage policies of the AI model providers whose models power Photolaria.
Resell or sublicense access to the service itself (your generated images are yours to use as your plan allows – see Terms of Service, sections 5–6).

Enforcement

Every generation request runs through our AI providers' automated safety systems, which block sexual, abusive, and other prohibited content at generation time. Reported content is additionally reviewed manually.
We may remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate this policy. For absolute prohibitions, suspension is immediate.
Abuse of free usage (session resets, bots, bulk farming) may result in free creation being blocked for sessions, IP addresses, or IP ranges.
If one person operates more than one account, we may suspend or terminate all of their accounts, not only the additional ones.
When an account is suspended or terminated for breaking this policy or our Terms, its subscription is cancelled, its free credits lapse, and only the paid-for credits it had not yet spent are refunded, minus the value of credits obtained through the violation – see our Refund Policy.
If you believe we suspended your account by mistake, email [email protected]. We review every appeal and restore accounts suspended in error.
We cooperate with law enforcement on content involving minors and other criminal matters.

Reporting

If you find content generated with Photolaria that violates this policy – or that uses your likeness without consent – email [email protected]. We review every report.
