Terms of Service

Last updated: April 12, 2023

Thank you for using the KNSL.io platform (the “Services”). These Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) explain what rights you have with respect to images and other assets which you might use with the Service (the “Assets”), and your use of the Services. Please read it carefully. Our privacy policy outlines how we handle your data.

This Agreement is entered into by KNSL.io and the entity or person agreeing to these terms (the “Customer,” “You” or “Your”) and govern the Customer’s access to and use of the Services.

This Agreement is effective when the Customer is presented with this Agreement and proceeds to use the Services (the “Effective Date”) or to receive or distribute Assets. These terms may be updated and presented again to the Customer from time to time. Continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If You do not agree to this Agreement, please stop using the Services.

Other documents referenced here may also bind Customer’s use of the Services, including the Community Guidelines below.

1. Service Availability and Quality

We are constantly improving the Services to make them better. The Services are subject to modification and change, including but not limited to the algorithms used to generate the Assets, and features available to the Customer. No guarantees are made with respect to the Services’ quality, stability, uptime or reliability. Please do not create any dependencies on any attributes of the Services or the Assets. We will not be liable to You or Your downstream customers for any harm caused by Your dependency on the Service.

Both the Services and the Assets are provided to Customer on an “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or redistributing the Assets and assume any risks associated with use of the Services.

KNSL.io reserves the right to suspend or ban Your access to the Services at any time, and for any reason. You may not use the Services for competitive research. You may not reverse engineer the Services or the Assets. You may not use automated tools to access, interact with, or generate Assets through the Services. Only one user may use the Services per registered account. Each user of the Services may only have one account.

We reserve the right to investigate complaints or reported violations of our Terms of Service and to take any action we deem appropriate including but not limited to reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties and disclosing any information necessary or appropriate to such persons or entities relating to user profiles, e-mail addresses, usage history, posted materials, IP addresses and traffic information.

2. Age Requirements

By accessing the Services, You confirm that You are at least 13 years old and meet the minimum age of digital consent in Your country. If You are old enough to access the Services in Your country, but not old enough to have authority to consent to our terms, Your parent or guardian must agree to our terms on Your behalf.

Please ask Your parent or guardian to read these terms with You. If You are a parent or legal guardian, and You allow Your teenager to use the Services, then these terms also apply to You and You are responsible for Your teenager’s activity on the Services.

KNSL.io tries to make its Services PG-13 and family friendly, but the Assets are generated based on content submitted. No guarantees are made as to the suitability of the Assets for the Customer.

3. Your Information

Rights You give to KNSL.io

By using the Services, You grant to KNSL.io, its successors, the permission to process, store and make accessible to You images You input into the Services, or Assets produced by the service at Your direction. This license does not survive termination of this Agreement by any party, for any reason, except to honor legal requirements.

Your Rights

Subject to the above license, You own all Assets You create with the Services, to the extent possible under current law. KNSL.io makes no representations or warranties with respect to the current law that might apply to You.
