Attempts to circumvent or violate this policy will not be tolerated. Violations of this policy may result in the removal of violative content or the suspension or termination of access to our Services.
2. Avatars
Avatars created on the Avatarco inc Services, including the content used to create such avatars, must respect the rights of others, including individuals depicted and only be used for permissible purposes. We offer a variety of avatar creation options, including public avatars from our library, photo avatars, and custom avatars, which include both instant and studio avatars.
2.1. Ownership, Consent and Violations
Ownership: As between us and you, you own the rights to photo, or custom avatars you create. You are responsible for ensuring that your creation, use, or sharing of the avatar does not violate any laws or rights of third parties or our Terms or Acceptable Use and Moderation Policy. This includes ensuring that the avatar is only created, used, or shared, in a manner consistent with the rights you have obtained to use the Avatar, including the consent of the person depicted in the Avatar or the holder of any rights in the depiction.
Consent for Custom Avatars: In the case of creating custom avatars, you are required to obtain the explicit consent of the individual being represented (the “Actor”). Unless explicit consent has been provided, creating avatars of other individuals is strictly prohibited. You are also responsible for ensuring that you have the consent of the Actor for your use or sharing of the avatar and any content generated based on the avatar. The Actor reserves the right to request removal of their likeness from our Services at any time. You are responsible for honoring any request by or on behalf of an Actor to remove content depicting the Actor wherever you have published such depictions. An Actor may also contact our moderation team at support@superdupe.ai to request removal of content depicting them from our Services.
