Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least thirteen (13) years of age to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

2. Description of the Service

The Service enables users to upload photographs and receive short video files generated by artificial-intelligence models that synthesize motion from the uploaded still image (each, a "Generated Video"). The Service may also provide storage, sharing, account management, and related features.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, including the availability of any feature or content, with or without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation, except as expressly provided in these Terms or required by applicable law.

3. Accounts and Security

To use most features of the Service you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You must notify us promptly at info@animemories.com of any unauthorized use of your account or other breach of security.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, present a security risk, or have been inactive for an extended period, subject to applicable law.

4. Your Content; License to Us

"User Content" means the photographs you upload and the Generated Videos created from them. As between you and the Company, you retain all right, title, and interest in and to your User Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership of your User Content to us.

You grant the Company a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable (solely to our service providers) license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, modify (solely as necessary to render the Generated Video and operate the Service), and display your User Content, in each case solely for the purpose of operating, providing, securing, and improving the Service and as otherwise permitted by our Privacy Policy. This license terminates when your User Content is deleted from the Service, subject to a reasonable period for removal from backups.

We will not use your User Content to train artificial-intelligence models except with your express opt-in consent.

5. Your Representations and Warranties

By uploading any photograph or other content, you represent and warrant that:

• you own the photograph or have obtained all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to upload it and to have it processed as described in these Terms;
• where the photograph depicts identifiable living individuals, you have obtained any consent from those individuals required under applicable law, including laws governing rights of publicity, personality, and biometric or image data;
• where the photograph depicts deceased individuals, you have the lawful authority or a legitimate personal connection appropriate to memorial use;
• the photograph and its processing will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party's intellectual-property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or any applicable law; and
• your User Content does not contain any material that violates Section 6 (Acceptable Use).

You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of uploading it. We have no obligation to prescreen User Content, but we reserve the right to review, refuse, or remove any User Content at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not upload, create, generate, share, or distribute through the Service any content that:

• constitutes child sexual abuse material or sexualizes minors in any way, whether real or synthetic;
• depicts any identifiable person in a sexual or intimate manner without that person's express consent;
• is intended to harass, defame, threaten, intimidate, or incite violence against any person or group;
• impersonates any person or entity for fraudulent or deceptive purposes, or misrepresents a Generated Video as authentic footage of real events;
• constitutes deceptive political media, election misinformation, or synthetic media designed to mislead the public;
• depicts graphic violence or gore intended to shock or disturb;
• violates any applicable law or regulation, including export-control, sanctions, privacy, and intellectual-property laws; or
• attempts to probe, scan, overload, reverse engineer, scrape, or otherwise interfere with the Service, its security features, or its underlying models and infrastructure.

We may remove content, withhold or cancel generations, suspend or terminate accounts, and, where appropriate, report unlawful content to relevant authorities. Credits consumed by generations blocked for violation of this Section are not refundable except where required by law.

7. AI-Generated Content

Generated Videos are synthetic media produced by artificial intelligence. Motion, expressions, and details in a Generated Video are algorithmic interpretations and may differ materially from how the depicted persons actually appeared, moved, or behaved. Generated Videos are provided for personal, commemorative, and creative purposes.

You agree not to present any Generated Video as authentic, unaltered, or historical footage, and to preserve any content-provenance metadata or disclosures embedded in Generated Videos. Additional information is available in our AI Disclosure.

8. Credits, Subscriptions, and Payment

Certain features of the Service require payment, whether through one-time credit purchases ("Credits") or recurring subscription plans. Prices, included allowances, and plan features are described at the point of purchase and may change prospectively at any time. Price changes to subscriptions take effect at the next renewal following reasonable notice.

Payments are processed by third-party payment processors (currently Stripe, Inc.). We do not store full payment-card numbers. By providing a payment method, you authorize us and our processor to charge that method for the purchases you make, including recurring subscription charges until you cancel.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless canceled before renewal. You may cancel at any time through your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period. Except as set forth in our Refund Policy or required by applicable law, all fees are non-refundable and Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and expire as stated at purchase. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, which may be collected in addition to the stated price.

9. Refunds

Refunds and automatic credit returns are governed by our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable statutory refund or withdrawal rights you may have under the consumer-protection laws of your jurisdiction.

10. Intellectual Property of the Company

The Service — including its software, models, prompts, interfaces, design, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks (including "AniMemories") — is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no license or right is granted to you by implication or otherwise. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works of any part of the Service, or access the Service to build a competing product.

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or compensation.

11. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers, including cloud infrastructure, authentication, payment processing, and AI model providers, to deliver its functionality. Your use of the Service is also subject to any terms that those providers impose on end users where applicable. We are not responsible for third-party services that we do not control, and links to third-party websites do not constitute endorsement.

12. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information in connection with the Service is described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described there.

13. Term; Termination

These Terms apply from your first use of the Service and continue until terminated. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, including for violation of these Terms, upon notice where practicable and required by law.

Upon termination: (a) your license to use the Service ends; (b) your User Content will be deleted in accordance with our data-deletion practices described in the Privacy Policy and the Delete My Data page; and (c) Sections 4 (with respect to the wind-down license), 5, 7, 10, and 14 through 19 survive termination.

14. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL GENERATED VIDEOS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT ANY GENERATED VIDEO WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR ACCURATELY DEPICT ANY PERSON, PLACE, OR EVENT; OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY, ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO THE COMPANY FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your User Content, including any claim that it infringes or violates the rights of a third party; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (c) your misuse of any Generated Video, including presenting synthetic media as authentic. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

17. Dispute Resolution; Governing Law

Before filing any formal claim, you agree to first contact us at info@animemories.com with a written description of the dispute and to work with us in good faith for at least thirty (30) days to resolve it informally. Most concerns can be resolved this way.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the state in which A2M Technologies, LLC is organized, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United States. Subject to any non-waivable consumer rights to bring claims in your local courts, the state and federal courts located in that state will have exclusive jurisdiction, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date and, where appropriate, by additional means such as email or in-product notice. Changes apply prospectively. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

19. General Provisions

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and AI Disclosure, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements on that subject. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control. Notices to the Company must be sent to info@animemories.com.
