Terms of Service

1. Agreement

By using HeyBlinki you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you use HeyBlinki for a company, you confirm you can bind that company.

2. The service

HeyBlinki lets you describe an idea and generate images or short video from third-party and first-party models. Early access features may change, break, or be withdrawn. Outputs can be wrong, unexpected, or similar to existing work. You must review them before you publish or sell them.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18. You may not use the service if the law in your country bars you from using generative AI tools.

4. Your account

Keep your login details secret and tell us if you think the account was used without you. We can suspend or close accounts that break these Terms, create risk, or are inactive.

5. Inputs, outputs, and who owns what

You keep any rights you already have in the prompts and files you submit. You grant HeyBlinki a limited license to process that material so we can generate media, show it in your workspace, moderate it, and keep the service running.

To the fullest extent the law allows, you own the outputs you generate. That ownership is subject to these Terms and to other people's rights. We do not claim copyright in your outputs except for that operating license.

Copyright agencies in the United States and the UK have been clear that a machine cannot be an author. Text prompts alone usually do not create copyright. Protection, if any, covers the human-made parts you add, such as your own photos, edits, selection, and arrangement. Do not assume a raw generation is a registered copyright you can enforce against others.

6. Real people, faces, and consent

You must have the legal right to use every person, brand, and work that appears in a prompt, upload, or output. If the output shows a real, identifiable person, you need their permission where publicity, privacy, or biometric law requires it. That includes private people and public figures.

You may not create or share a deepfake, face swap, or false scene of a real person in order to deceive, harass, defame, or exploit them. Sexual or nude depictions of a real person without their explicit consent are banned. This tracks US deepfake and non-consensual intimate imagery rules and similar laws elsewhere.

7. You must label AI media when the law requires it

The EU AI Act requires providers of systems that generate synthetic image, video, or audio to mark that content in a machine-readable way where it is technically feasible. Deployers who publish deepfakes or other synthetic media generally must disclose that the content was AI-generated or manipulated, at or before first viewing, unless a narrow exception applies.

If you publish HeyBlinki outputs, you are responsible for any visible or audible disclosure the law requires, including political ads, commercial claims, and depictions of real people. We may add watermarks, C2PA metadata, or other provenance marks. Do not strip required marks.

8. Acceptable use

You may not use HeyBlinki to request, create, upload, or share:

• Child sexual abuse material, or any sexual, romantic, or exploitative depiction of anyone 17 or under. This covers real, fictional, illustrated, and AI-generated people. We report confirmed or suspected CSAM as the law requires.
• Non-consensual intimate imagery, undressing tools, or sexual deepfakes.
• Content that impersonates a real person to commit fraud or cause harm.
• Copies of other people's copyrighted characters, photos, logos, or trademarks that you have no right to make.
• Violent crimes, terrorism, or other illegal activity.
• Attempts to bypass safety filters or steal another user's account or files.

9. Your responsibility

You are responsible for your prompts, uploads, and how you use the outputs. If an output looks like a protected brand, a copyrighted work, or a real person, you must not use it in a way that infringes those rights. HeyBlinki does not guarantee that an output is original, unused, or clear for commercial use.

10. Models and third parties

Generation may run on models we do not own. Those providers can apply their own safety filters and usage rules. If a provider refuses a request, we may refuse it too.

11. Early access and paid plans

Free early access can be limited, paused, or changed. If we add paid plans, fees, refunds, and taxes will be shown at checkout. Credits or generations that you do not use may expire as stated at purchase.

12. Copyright complaints

If you believe material on HeyBlinki infringes your copyright, email legal@heyblinki.com with a description of the work, the URL or file, your contact details, and a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized. We will review valid notices.

13. Disclaimers

The service is provided as is. We do not warrant that generations will be accurate, available, or fit for a particular purpose. Outputs can invent faces, facts, or styles. Do not use them as the only basis for identity, medical, legal, or safety decisions.

14. Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, HeyBlinki is not liable for lost profits, lost data, or indirect damages. Our total liability for a claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or £100 if you have not paid us. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited, including death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud.

15. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify HeyBlinki against claims that arise from your prompts, uploads, outputs, or your failure to get consent or to disclose AI-generated media when the law requires it.

16. Termination

You can stop using HeyBlinki at any time. We can suspend or end access if you break these Terms or if we shut down the service. Sections that should survive, including ownership limits, acceptable use, disclaimers, and indemnity, will survive.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may seek an injunction anywhere to protect the service. If a mandatory consumer law in your country gives you other rights, those rights still apply.

18. Changes and contact

We may update these Terms as the product and the law change. The date at the top is the latest version. Continued use after a change means you accept the new Terms.
