Terms of Service

1. Agreement and service availability

By using Buddy the Unicorn, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not upload photos or use the generation service. Selecting a file creates a local preview; selecting Generate submits it for processing.

2. Your rights and responsibility

Use only photos you have the right to use. You must be at least 18, be the person shown in the photo, and hold the permissions needed to upload, edit and process it. Permission from the person shown does not replace any required permission from the photographer or other rights holder.

Do not upload photos to impersonate, harass or exploit someone, infringe rights, or create unlawful or non-consensual content. Keep your account credentials secure and report suspected unauthorized access through Support.

3. Limited authorization for your request

Uploading a photo and submitting a generation request grants us a non-exclusive, limited authorization to receive, store, copy, transmit and transform that photo, use necessary processing providers, and store and deliver the generated portraits to you.

This authorization is limited to operating the requested service during the applicable processing and retention period. It does not transfer your ownership or grant permission for public promotion, resale of your photo or training our own AI models. Processing that has already completed cannot be reversed by withdrawing a request.

4. Private storage and automatic deletion

Source photos and generated portraits are stored privately. They are not published in public galleries or submitted for search indexing. Uploaded photos expire 30 days after upload; generated photos expire 30 days after creation. Access ends at expiry and our scheduled cleanup automatically deletes the files.

You are responsible for downloading results you wish to keep before expiry. Purchases do not extend photo retention, and deletion of a photo does not delete separate transaction records. Do not share private processing or download links unless you intend the recipient to access the image.

5. AI results and permitted use

AI portraits are creative interpretations, not a guarantee of exact identity, anatomy, costume fit or a particular result. Style examples on this site are labeled illustrations, not verified customer outcomes. Review generated images before using or sharing them.

You retain rights you already hold in your uploads. Rights in generated material depend on applicable law and the selected model’s terms; we do not guarantee exclusivity or copyright eligibility. You remain responsible for your use of the results.

6. One-time purchases

Every user receives one free generation as a watermarked preview. Downloading requires a completed purchase of any photo pack. That purchase unlocks the existing free portrait without using a pack generation. Additional generations use the purchased pack. We offer one-time generation packs, not subscriptions or automatic renewals. The price, quantity, any expiry conditions and applicable refund terms must be shown before checkout. Payment is collected only through checkout. Pack generations do not expire, but stored photos expire after 30 days. Failed generations are returned to your balance. Email us using the contact page for billing or refund requests; statutory rights remain unaffected.

Do not assume that removing or deleting a photo automatically cancels an order or creates a refund. Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

7. Safety, service changes and support

We may reject requests or restrict accounts that misuse the service, compromise security or violate these Terms. Temporary outages and provider failures can occur. We may update these terms, marking the revised date and providing notice of material changes where required.

For service questions, photo-rights concerns or deletion requests, email us using the contact page or use account Support. These terms do not exclude rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

8. Contact us

For privacy questions, access or deletion requests, photo-rights concerns, billing or refunds, email support@buddytheunicorn.xyz. You do not need to sign in to contact us.

Include your account email and a task or order reference if available. Do not send passwords, full payment card details or private photos in your initial message. We may need to verify account ownership before making changes or deleting data.
