Acceptable use

Make what you want, as long as it is legal where you are, honest about who is in it, and not designed to hurt somebody. Nearly everything below follows from those three.

• Sexual content involving anyone under 18, real or generated. This is reported, not just removed.
• Intimate or sexual imagery of a real person who did not agree to it.
• Content made to deceive about a real person or event — a fake statement from a public figure, a fabricated news clip, a fake endorsement.
• Political advertising that hides who paid for it, or synthetic media of a candidate presented as real footage.
• Harassment of a specific person, threats, or content whose purpose is to make somebody a target.
• Instructions for building weapons, synthesising harmful substances, or breaking into systems.
• Fraud: fake reviews, fake receipts, fake identity documents, impersonating a business.
• Anything illegal where you are, or where the people seeing it are.

A real person’s face or voice may only be used with a consent record on file, carrying evidence and terms. This is enforced by the product: a render against a cast member whose consent is missing, expired, withdrawn, out of territory, or silent about voice is refused before it costs you anything. Do not attempt to work around it — by describing somebody in a prompt instead of adding them as cast, by using a lookalike, or by chaining tools.

Public figures are not an exception. Being famous is not consent, and satire that a reasonable viewer would read as real footage is deception whatever it was meant as.

If a person withdraws consent, stop using what was made with them. The product will delete their data on your instruction and we will act on a request that comes from the person directly.

VODOO can take an ad apart and show you how it is built — the beat structure, the pacing, the shot order, where the claim lands. That is legitimate and it is one of the reasons the product exists.

Structure travels. Wording never does. You may learn the shape of somebody else’s ad; you may not reproduce their script, their headline, their brand or their footage. The product checks the output against the source and refuses a remake that has copied text through, and that check is a floor rather than permission for everything it does not catch.

• No reselling raw engine access. Building a product on our API is welcome; reselling a pass-through to the engines behind it is not.
• No scraping the site, no automated sign-ups, and no working around rate limits. The public API exists and is documented.
• No probing, overloading or reverse-engineering the service, and no using it to attack anything else.
• No sharing one account between people who each need one. Workspaces have seats for that reason.
• Do not upload files you do not have the rights to, including material a client gave you under terms that forbid it.

If you find a security problem, tell us before you tell anybody else. We will not pursue somebody who reports one in good faith and gives us a reasonable chance to fix it.

Most of the time: the render is refused and you see why. For something that got past the automatic checks, we remove the work and tell you which rule it hit.

For a repeat or a serious breach, we suspend the workspace. For the items in section 2 that are criminal, we close the account, preserve what the law requires us to preserve, and report it.

You can appeal to [contact address] and a person will look at it. We are more interested in fixing a misunderstanding than in closing accounts.

If something made here is about you, or you have seen something on a published page or in the shop that breaks these rules, write to [contact address]. You do not need an account. Tell us what you saw and where, and we will look the same day where we can.

The terms of use make this policy part of the agreement.
