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 art style of Assets, 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. Dino 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.

We reserve the right to suspend or ban Your access to the Services, as well as delete user Assets, 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.

We try to make the Services PG-13 and family friendly, but the Assets are generated by an artificial intelligence system based on user queries. This is new technology and it does not always work as expected. No guarantees are made as to the suitability of the Assets for the Customer.

Our Services include a feature (‘NSFW Mode’) that allows users to access content that our artificial intelligence has flagged as Not Safe for Work (‘NSFW’). This content is unfiltered and may include mature or explicit material. NSFW Mode is deactivated by default to maintain a PG-13 and family-friendly environment.

Please be aware that our AI-based classification system is not infallible. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all NSFW content will be identified and filtered out consistently. As such, there may be occasions when explicit or mature material is not flagged as NSFW and may be inadvertently accessible outside of NSFW Mode. We accept no liability for any failures of our AI to detect and hide NSFW content, and we make no guarantees that NSFW content will be detected and hidden in every instance. Users should exercise their discretion when using the Services.

To activate NSFW Mode, You must be at least 18 years old or of legal age in Your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. By enabling NSFW Mode, You affirm that You meet these age requirements and that You wish to access content that may include mature themes.
