Terms of Service

1) What These Terms Cover

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the CarShots websites, mobile/desktop apps, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

• "User Content" means photos, images, prompts, videos, text, metadata, and other materials you upload or submit to the Service.
• "Outputs" means images, videos, and other results generated by our models/processors based on your inputs.
• "Credits" are metered units used to run generation or editing tasks.

2) Eligibility & Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent where you live) and capable of forming a binding contract. You're responsible for your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

3) Plans, Billing & Credits

3.1 Subscriptions & Auto-Renewal. If you purchase a subscription (e.g., Sport/GTS/Turbo), your plan auto-renews each billing cycle until canceled. We may change pricing with prior notice for the next cycle. Taxes may apply.

3.2 Overages & Add-Ons. If you exceed included credits, you may purchase add-on credits at the then-current rate.

3.3 Credit Expiration. Unless we state otherwise in writing, included monthly credits expire at the end of each billing cycle; add-on credits expire 12 months after purchase. Credits have no cash value and are non-transferable.

3.4 Trials & Promotions. We may offer trials or promotional terms, subject to change or cancellation at any time. Trial periods convert to paid plans unless canceled before the period ends.

3.5 Refunds. Except where required by law or expressly stated otherwise, all purchases are non-refundable. If you purchased via Apple's App Store or Google Play, refunds are handled by those platforms.

3.6 Chargebacks. You agree not to file chargebacks without first contacting support. We may suspend or terminate accounts with improper chargebacks.

4) App Store Terms

Purchases made through third-party app stores are also governed by those stores' terms. Billing, cancellations, and refunds for in-app purchases must be managed through the applicable store.

5) Acceptable Use

You agree not to (and not to attempt to):

• Upload or generate content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, exploitative, or otherwise objectionable;
• Infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third-party rights (e.g., photos you don't own, trademarks, copyrighted backdrops, license plates or faces without permission);
• Upload CSAM or content sexualizing minors (zero tolerance);
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the Service;
• Bypass rate limits or use the Service to build competing datasets or models;
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or others' enjoyment of it.

We may remove content, suspend credits, or terminate accounts for violations.

6) Your Content & Responsibility

6.1 You Own Your User Content. As between you and us, you retain all rights in your User Content.

6.2 License to Us. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, modify, and display your User Content solely to provide and improve the Service (e.g., processing uploads, generating Outputs, troubleshooting, preventing abuse).

6.3 You Are Responsible. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and permissions to upload and use your User Content (including any vehicle images, locations, brands, license plates, faces, texts, or logos), and that your use of the Service and resulting Outputs will comply with all laws and third-party rights. You are solely responsible for securing any necessary permissions.

7) Outputs: Rights & Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and full payment, we assign to you all right, title, and interest we may own in the Outputs generated from your lawful User Content for your commercial or personal use, except for any third-party material embedded by you or inherent in scenes you choose that may carry their own rights.

• No Warranty of Non-Infringement. Outputs may resemble styles or public scenes and could incidentally depict third-party IP. You must review Outputs for legal/brand compliance before use (e.g., blur plates/faces, handle OEM trademarks).
• We retain rights in the Service, models, scenes, styles, and templates (see §8).

8) Our IP

We own all rights in the Service, including software, models, templates/scenes, documentation, and branding. Except for rights expressly granted, no licenses are implied. You may not use our marks without written permission.

9) Feedback

If you provide suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them without restriction or attribution.

10) Service Changes & Availability

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. We are not liable for outages, maintenance windows, or delays.

11) Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data and is incorporated by reference.

12) Third-Party Services

When you connect third-party services (e.g., payment processors, analytics, cloud storage), their terms govern their parts. We're not responsible for third-party services.

13) DMCA Policy (U.S. Copyright)

We respect IP rights and will respond to notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").

To submit a DMCA notice, send a written notice to our Agent with:

4. your contact info;
5. a statement of good-faith belief the use is unauthorized; and
6. a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you're authorized to act.

Counter-Notice. If your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, send our Agent a counter-notice including:

1. your signature;
2. identification of the removed material and where it appeared;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury you believe the removal was in error;
4. your contact info; and
5. a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or New York County, New York if outside the U.S.) and that you will accept service from the original complainant.

Upon valid counter-notice, we may restore the material unless the complainant files an action within 10–14 business days.

14) Beta & AI-Generated Content

You understand the Service uses probabilistic AI and may produce artifacts or inaccuracies. Human review is recommended before publishing or commercial use. Beta features are provided "as is."

18) Term & Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access (with or without notice) if you violate these Terms or risk harm to the Service or others. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends; certain sections survive (e.g., §§6–9, 11, 13–22).

19) International Use

You're responsible for compliance with local laws where you use the Service.

20) Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflict-of-laws rules.

You and we agree to binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its rules in New York County, New York, in English, with one arbitrator. Class or representative actions are not permitted. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for misuse of IP or violation of data-use restrictions. You may also bring individual claims in small-claims court in your county of residence or New York County.
