Responsible Use Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Flat AI Inc. ("FlatAI", "we", "us"). Our mission is to provide powerful and creative AI tools while prioritizing user privacy, safety, and compliance with applicable law. This Responsible Use Policy ("Policy") outlines the acceptable and prohibited uses of our services ("Services"), including any AI tools that generate text, images, audio, video, or other content, whether safe-for-work (SFW) or not-safe-for-work (NSFW).

By accessing or using our Services, you agree to comply with this Policy and our Terms of Service. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use the Services, and you must not allow minors to access your account, especially any NSFW features.

2. Acceptable Uses

We encourage you to use our Services for creative, productive, and innovative purposes. Acceptable uses include, but are not limited to:

  • Generating unique text, images, audio, video, code, or other content for personal, educational, or commercial projects (subject to this Policy and our Terms of Service).
  • Utilizing our AI chat and tools for research, brainstorming, learning, entertainment, and assistance with various tasks.
  • Exploring the capabilities of AI through our diverse range of tools in a respectful manner that does not harm others.
  • Creating lawful adult content involving only fictional or AI-generated characters presented as adults and clearly not based on identifiable real individuals, where such content is legal in your jurisdiction and compliant with this Policy.
  • Using the Services in a way that does not place an unreasonable or abusive load on our infrastructure (beyond typical usage patterns for your subscription level).

3. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use the Services for any unlawful, harmful, or otherwise objectionable purpose. The following activities are strictly prohibited. Examples are illustrative, not exhaustive:

  • Illegal Activities: Generating, promoting, or facilitating content related to illegal acts, including hate crimes, terrorism, human trafficking, or other criminal conduct, or encouraging others to commit illegal activities.
  • Exploitation or Sexualization of Minors: Creating, uploading, or distributing any sexual, nude, intimate, or exploitative content involving minors, or individuals who appear to be minors, whether real or fictional. This includes any depiction that could reasonably be interpreted as child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or child exploitation.
  • Non-Consensual Sexual or Intimate Content: Generating explicit, intimate, or sexual content depicting real individuals (including private individuals or public figures) without their explicit, verifiable consent, including deepfake pornography or revenge pornography, or content simulating non-consensual acts, sexual assault, or coercion.
  • Other Prohibited Sexual Content: Content that depicts or glorifies sexual violence, coercion, or exploitation; incest, bestiality, necrophilia, or other extreme sexual content that is illegal or widely considered abusive or exploitative; or any sexual content that is illegal under applicable laws or financial-institution rules.
  • Hate, Harassment, and Harmful Content: Generating or promoting hate speech or violent content directed at individuals or groups based on protected characteristics (such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability); harassment, bullying, targeted abuse, or threats of violence; or defamatory or highly abusive content intended to cause serious harm.
  • Misinformation and Deception: Generating or disseminating knowingly false or misleading information with the intent to deceive, manipulate, or cause harm, including impersonating any person or entity or misrepresenting your affiliation with any person or entity.
  • Infringement of Rights: Violating intellectual property rights (copyright, trademark, patent) or other proprietary rights, as well as rights of publicity or privacy. This includes using the likeness of real people in ways that infringe their rights or portray them in explicit or harmful contexts without consent.
  • Malicious Use and Security Abuse: Attempting to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to our Services, servers, networks, or user accounts, including distributing malware, phishing content, or engaging in denial-of-service attacks, or attempting to bypass technical measures or usage limits.
  • Spam and Unsolicited Communications: Using the Services to generate or distribute spam, bulk unsolicited commercial messages, or content primarily designed for spam or search engine manipulation.
  • Excessive/Abusive Usage: Engaging in automated or high-volume use that significantly exceeds normal user patterns for your plan (for example, running continuous automated scripts that place an undue burden on resources), particularly in ways that attempt to circumvent limitations, quotas, or fair use principles, even on "Unlimited" plans.
  • Impersonation: Impersonating any person or entity, or falsely stating or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, including through generated content.

4. Monitoring and Enforcement

We prioritize user privacy and generally do not monitor the specific content you generate (as stated in our Privacy Policy). However, we reserve the right to investigate potential violations of this Policy and to act where we have reason to believe our Services are being abused or our security is at risk.

This may involve reviewing usage patterns, metadata, or samples of content when necessary, and acting on credible reports or complaints from users, partners, or authorities.

If we determine that you have violated this Policy, we may, at our sole discretion, take one or more of the following actions:

  • Issuing a warning.
  • Temporarily suspending access to some or all Services.
  • Permanently terminating your account and access to the Services without refund.
  • Blocking or filtering certain prompts, outputs, or features for your account.
  • Reporting the activity to law enforcement authorities where appropriate.
  • Taking legal action against you.

The actions we take will depend on the nature, severity, and frequency of the violation.

5. Your Responsibilities

As a user of our Services, you are responsible for:

  • Ensuring your use of the Services complies with this Policy, our Terms of Service, and all applicable laws and regulations.
  • Being at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and ensuring that no minors access your account or any adult content features.
  • The prompts you submit and the content you generate, upload, or share using our Services.
  • Maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account information.
  • Promptly reporting any suspected violations of this Policy or security issues to us.

6. Our Rights
