Stability Terms of Service for using Stable Diffusion Image generation
These terms of service (and any other terms or information incorporated into them by reference) (collectively the “Terms”) govern your access and use of DreamStudio (the “Services”).
The Services are provided by Stability AI Ltd (“Stability,” ”we,” or “us”) to provide creative generative tools for our users to express their creativity to produce user-generated images from text prompts (“Content”). The Services use an artificial intelligence (“AI”) tool to generate this Content. This use of AI is relatively new and still evolving. As a result, while we have taken — and continue to take — efforts to preclude your creation of extreme content, we cannot guarantee the suitability or appropriateness of the resulting images you generate. You are solely responsible for your use of the Services, including your text prompts, generation of Content, and the consequences of your Content Sharing (as defined below).
By clicking “Yes,” you are representing that you are of a legal age to enter into a binding contract in your legal jurisdiction and agreeing to these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of a business or other entity, you also represent that you have authority to bind them to these Terms. If you are not of legal age, do not agree to these Terms, or do not have that authority, you must not access or use the Services and any use would be wholly unauthorized and in violation of these Terms.
As a valued member of our user community, the contribution of your near-boundless creativity plays an important part in creating a dream-worthy environment to produce incredible Content. We like to say “near-boundless” because your contributions must be safe, legal, and in accordance with these Terms. We want to be very clear about what we expect from you, and how we may respond if you do not meet our expectations. The Community Guidelines apply to your Content and use of the Services, including any Content Sharing (as defined below). Please review them carefully.
Before posting, publishing, or otherwise sharing Content with others (collectively, “Content Sharing”), you must give careful consideration to the potential physical, emotional, mental, financial, and reputational harm that it may have on others. Content that may be acceptable, harmless, satirical, artistic, or humorous to you might be perceived as harassing, threatening, intimidating, upsetting, disturbing, embarrassing, distressing, or hateful to someone else.
ANY VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS (INCLUDING THE COMMUNITY GUIDELINES) MAY RESULT IN THE SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION BY US, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING A PERMANENT BAN AND YOU WILL FORFEIT ANY REMAINING CREDITS AND FEES PAID FOR THE SERVICES). WE MAY CHANGE THE SERVICES IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION. WE WILL ENDEAVOR TO PROVIDE REASONABLE NOTICE OF ANY SUSPENSION, TERMINATION, OR CHANGE TO YOU, BUT MAY DO SO WITHOUT NOTICE IF IN OUR SOLE JUDGMENT, WE NEED TO MAKE CHANGES TO COMPLY WITH LAW, PROTECT OR ENFORCE LEGAL RIGHTS, AVOID OR MITIGATE MISUSE OF THE SERVICES OR ADVERSE LEGAL OR REGULATORY IMPACTS ON US, OR OTHERWISE TO ADDRESS OR PREVENT AN EMERGENCY. IF WE DISABLE YOUR ACCOUNT FOR A VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OR ANY OTHER REASON BASED ON YOUR CONDUCT, YOU MAY NOT CREATE ANOTHER ACCOUNT WITHOUT OUR EXPRESS PERMISSION, WHICH WE MAY WITHHOLD IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION. IF WE LET YOU CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT, IT DOES NOT IMPLY THAT OUR PRIOR DECISION TO DISABLE YOUR ACCOUNT WAS WRONG OR WITHOUT CAUSE. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES WILL NOT TERMINATE STABILITY’S RIGHTS TO YOUR CONTENT.
Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Stability may preserve your text prompts and Content and may also disclose your text prompts and Content if required to do so by law or in Stability’s good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process, applicable laws or government requests; (b) enforce these Terms; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Stability, its officers, employees, directors, shareholders, licensors, service providers, agents, and the public.
We want you to use the Services to express yourself and to develop Content that you find interesting, but not at the expense of the safety and well-being of others. Accordingly, you may not, or assist any other person to:
The Services may block certain text prompts and blur resulting Content if we find (in our sole judgment) the prompt or resulting image too graphic, offensive, insensitive, or hurtful, even in circumstances where you may not have had any ill intent or where the Content does not otherwise violate the prohibitions described above. We may also block text prompts or block or remove Content that we otherwise find objectionable or that we believe in our reasonable judgment may expose us or others to any harm or liability.
As between you and Stability, you own the Content that you generate using the Services to the extent permitted by applicable law.
With respect to images you upload to the Services, you represent and warrant that you own all right, title, and interest in and to such images, including without limitation, all copyrights and rights of publicity contained therein. You are responsible for the Content, including for ensuring any Content Sharing does not violate any applicable law, intellectual property right of any third party, or these Terms.
You agree that Stability and our affiliates may use the Content to develop and improve the Services, including by storing your Content and associated metadata (i.e., image specifications, seeds, and text prompts) in a “history” section of your account so that you may browse and retrieve Content you previously have generated using the Services.
We have implemented the procedures described in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, regarding the reporting of alleged copyright infringement and the removal of or disabling access to infringing material. If you have a good faith belief that copyrighted material on DreamStudio is being used in a way that infringes a copyright over which you are authorized to act, you may make a Notice of Infringing Material.
Before serving a Notice of Infringing Material, you may wish to contact a lawyer to better understand your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other applicable laws. For example, if your Notice fails to comply with all requirements of sections 512(c)(3), your Notice may not be effective.
We will terminate or disable your use of the Services in appropriate circumstances if you are deemed by us to be a repeat copyright infringer.
Notices must be sent to:
