Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms govern your use of SantaPhoto (https://santaphoto.app), run by an individual operator ("we", "us"). By using the service you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

The Service

SantaPhoto turns photos you upload into AI-generated Christmas photos, cards and profile pictures, and offers ready-made images to download. We may change, suspend or end any part of the service, with reasonable notice where possible.

Accounts

You must be an adult (at least 18, or the age of majority where you live) to create an account. You sign in with your Google account; keep it secure, as you are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us at hello@santaphoto.app if you suspect unauthorized use.

Credits, Payments and Refunds

• Credits: generating an image uses credits, depending on the resolution you choose. The cost is shown in the generator before you create anything. New accounts may receive free starter credits.
• Credit packs: paid credits are sold as one-time packs, not subscriptions. Credits are valid for one year from purchase. Payments are processed by Waffo.
• Failed generations: if an image cannot be created, its credits are returned to your balance automatically.
• Refunds: a credit pack with no credits used can be refunded within 14 days of purchase; email us with your order details. Used credits and finished images are not refunded because you did not like the result, but contact us if something went wrong and we will look at it. This does not limit any rights you have under consumer law.

Your Photos

You may only upload photos of yourself, of adults who agreed to it, of children you are the parent or legal guardian of, and of your pets. Do not upload photos of other people's children, of public figures, or photos you have no right to use. You keep all rights to your photos and give us only the permission needed to process them to create your images, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Acceptable Use

Our Acceptable Use Policy is part of these Terms and explains how we moderate content, how to report it and what we do about violations. You may not use the service to generate:

1. pornographic, nude or sexually suggestive (NSFW) images;
2. violent or gory images, or images that glorify harm or self-harm;
3. hate speech or hateful symbols;
4. any sexualized or harmful depiction of a minor (CSAM);
5. deepfakes or impersonation of real people: face swaps, "nudify" images, real people placed in a kiss, hug or other intimate scene, or real people shown saying or doing things they never did, whether or not they consent;
6. content that infringes copyright or trademarks, such as copyrighted characters, logos or brands you have no right to use.

You also agree not to break the law, get around content checks, rate limits or credit costs, access systems and data that are not yours, or resell or automate access to the service without our written permission.

Your text, your photos and every generated image are checked automatically. We may refuse requests, remove content, suspend or close accounts, and forfeit the unused credits of an account closed for a violation. Report violations to hello@santaphoto.app.

Images You Create

As far as the law allows, the images generated from your photos are yours to use, for personal or commercial purposes, as long as you have the rights of the people and pets shown. We do not claim ownership of them. AI results vary: we do not guarantee that an image looks exactly like the person in the photo or is free of errors.

Free Gallery Images

The ready-made profile pictures and card designs in our galleries are free to download for personal use, such as your own profile picture or cards you send. You may not resell them, offer them as stock, or claim them as your own work.

Intellectual Property

The service, its design, software, brand and the gallery images remain ours or our licensors'. These Terms do not give you rights to them beyond what is stated here.

Termination

You may stop using the service and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms; unused paid credits on an account closed for a breach are not refunded.

Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The service is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. The date at the top shows the latest version; for material changes we will also tell signed-in users in the service. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
