123 Cheese Studio — Terms of Service
A common consumer baseline for customers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Mandatory rights where you live continue to apply.
Personal, non-commercial family portraits only
Do not use a portrait for commercial gain or claim a real meeting, relationship, affiliation, or endorsement involving a celebrity, public figure, or politician. Payment does not purchase another person's consent or rights. You are responsible for customer-caused misuse; mandatory consumer, privacy, and Studio obligations still apply where the law does not permit exclusion.

1. Who we are and when these Terms apply
123 Cheese Studio is operated by Intaglo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (we, us, or the Studio). It is a family-portrait service, not a celebrity-composite, endorsement, political-content, advertising, or identity-verification service. These Terms govern family portraits, VIP Solo Profiles, previews, paid unlocks, remote family uploads, and related services. They apply when you use the service and are expressly accepted when you continue to generation or complete payment after receiving a link to them. The Privacy Policy and Content Rights & Copyright Policy are incorporated into these Terms.
2. Eligibility and family organisers
You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter a contract. A family organiser may create a sitting for other people only after receiving their authority to upload and process their images. A parent or lawful guardian must act for a minor. The service is not directed to children, and a child may not create an account, upload an image, or give consent independently.
3. The same-person reference rule
The face photo and full-body photo for each subject must depict that same subject. You may not use another person's body as a shape reference, even if the face is hidden. Each subject must be the user or a person who expressly authorised the organiser to submit both photos for AI portrait generation and independent quality review. Internet images, scraped images, stock-model images, and images of celebrities, entertainers, athletes, influencers, public officials, candidates, politicians, royals, or other recognisable public figures are prohibited unless the uploader holds documented express authority from that person and all necessary copyright owners. Payment does not create that authority.
4. Your promises about uploaded content
You promise that you have all permissions, privacy consents, publicity, personality or likeness permissions, and copyright licences needed to upload each image and instruct us to process it. You also promise that the information you provide is accurate, including the subject's role, chosen visual presentation, and confirmed height. You must not upload confidential, unlawful, exploitative, deceptive, defamatory, election-related, or misleading content. If we request evidence of authority, you must provide it before processing continues.
5. Limited licence to process your content
You retain whatever rights you already hold in your reference photos. You grant the Studio a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, resize, transmit, analyse, combine, and otherwise process those photos only as reasonably necessary to provide the requested portrait, perform safety and quality checks, prevent abuse, provide support, and meet legal obligations. This licence ends when the relevant retention period ends, except for records we must lawfully retain.
6. AI processing and fail-closed quality review
OpenAI is used for portrait generation and Google Gemini is used for independent review of input references and generated candidates. The review may assess whether the photos appear to show the same subject, person count, apparent age or requested visual presentation, body consistency, likeness, and visible defects. If a check fails or is uncertain, we may refuse, retry, or withhold the result. Passing a check does not guarantee perfect identity, anatomy, or artistic similarity.
7. Service output and creative variation
AI portraits are synthetic creative outputs, not documentary photographs. Clothing, background, pose, lighting, gaze, and fine details may vary. We use safeguards to reduce identity, person-count, gender-presentation, cropping, and body-shape errors, but no AI system is error-free. Do not use an output as identity evidence, an official record, medical information, or proof of an event that did not occur.
8. Your permitted use of an unlocked portrait
After a valid paid unlock, we grant the payer a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to download, print, and privately display the delivered portrait solely for lawful personal, household, and non-commercial use, subject to the rights of every depicted person and applicable law. A genuine family portrait may be shared non-commercially only with every depicted person's authority and without a deceptive caption or presentation. The licence does not permit advertising, sponsorship, endorsements, fundraising, political advocacy, campaign use, paid posts, monetised content, merchandise, resale, licensing, brand promotion, business profiles, or any other direct or indirect commercial advantage. AI-generated material may not qualify for copyright protection in every country, and we do not promise that copyright exists or can be assigned. We retain no ownership claim over your underlying likeness or reference photos.
9. Public figures, false associations, and prohibited uses
You must not create, request, publish, post, caption, edit, or distribute an output that states or implies that you met, photographed, know, work with, are affiliated with, are endorsed by, or have a personal or commercial relationship with a celebrity, artist, band member, athlete, influencer, royal, public official, candidate, politician, or other recognisable person when that is untrue. This includes Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube, personal blogs, dating profiles, fundraising pages, advertisements, news-style posts, thumbnails, and monetised channels. You must not use the service to impersonate, deceive, defame, harass, exploit, discriminate against, manufacture a testimonial, create a false endorsement, solicit money, manipulate voters, create political misinformation, create sexual, intimate, violent, or humiliating content, evade identity or security checks, violate publicity, personality, privacy, copyright, moral or trademark rights, or suggest that a synthetic event actually occurred. An output involving an unauthorised public figure that is produced despite our safeguards may only be retained privately as evidence for a complaint and may not be posted or exploited. We may block, remove, suspend, preserve legally required evidence, and cooperate with rights holders or lawful authorities.
10. Payment, prices, discounts, and refunds
Prices and any discount are shown before payment. Discounts do not stack unless expressly stated. Payment purchases only the limited personal-use licence in section 8; it does not purchase another person's consent, publicity rights, copyright, endorsement, or permission to publish. Because previews and portraits are personalised digital content, cancellation rights may be limited after generation begins where local law permits and where you expressly request immediate performance. Nothing in these Terms removes a refund, repair, re-performance, chargeback, statutory guarantee, cooling-off right, or other remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded in your location.
11. Privacy and international processing
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we use it, retention, processors, international transfers, and your rights. Images may be processed in the United States or other countries where our contracted providers operate. Where required, we use contractual and organisational safeguards for international transfers, including safeguards relevant to UK GDPR and New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 Information Privacy Principle 12. Do not use the service if you cannot lawfully provide the required subject authorisation.
12. Availability and changes to the service
We may maintain, modify, suspend, or discontinue features for security, legal, provider, or operational reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or that a particular AI model will remain available. A material change does not retroactively change the Terms version recorded with an earlier payment.
13. Our responsibility
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws that apply in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, the Studio is not responsible for claims, disputes, loss, or damage caused by a customer's unauthorised upload; false statement of authority; infringement of copyright, privacy, publicity, personality, moral, trademark, passing-off, or likeness rights; prohibited use; deceptive caption; false endorsement; impersonation; political manipulation; alteration, publication, sale, or distribution of an output; a family dispute; or reliance on a synthetic portrait as a real meeting, relationship, event, testimonial, advertisement, or official record. This allocation applies only to matters caused by the customer and does not create absolute immunity for the Studio. We do not exclude liability or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer guarantees, reasonable-care obligations, privacy and data-protection duties, fraud, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where local law prohibits exclusion.
14. Your responsibility for misuse
Payment confirms that you accept responsibility for the references you supplied, the authority and consent of every depicted person, the instructions you selected, and every way you download, edit, caption, publish, print, sell, share, or otherwise use the delivered result. You are responsible for losses and third-party claims reasonably caused by your unauthorised upload, infringement, impersonation, false endorsement, misleading publication, political use, commercial exploitation, or prohibited distribution. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will reimburse the Studio for reasonable, documented losses and defence costs arising directly from your breach, after prompt notice and a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defence. This does not transfer responsibility for the Studio's own unlawful conduct or remove rights that a consumer cannot waive.
15. Governing law and mandatory local rights
These Terms are governed by Delaware law, without its conflict-of-laws rules. However, this choice does not deprive a consumer in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, or New Zealand of mandatory rights or the protection of laws that apply where that consumer habitually resides. Relevant rules may include US federal and state copyright, publicity, digital-replica, defamation, privacy, and deceptive-practices law; the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, data-protection law, passing off, Consumer Rights Act 2015, and Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024; Australia's Copyright Act 1968, Privacy Act 1988, defamation law, passing off, and Australian Consumer Law; Canada's Copyright Act, Competition Act, PIPEDA and substantially similar provincial privacy, consumer, and personality-rights law; and New Zealand's Copyright Act 1994, Privacy Act 2020, Defamation Act 1992, Fair Trading Act 1986, Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, and passing off. Consumers may bring claims in any court or tribunal that applicable law makes available. We do not require confidential arbitration or waive class rights through these Terms.
16. Complaints and regulatory rights
Please contact the Studio first so we can investigate a service, rights, or privacy complaint. Rights holders may report an unauthorised likeness, false association, or copyrighted work and request preservation or removal. You may also complain to the regulator available in your jurisdiction, including the UK Information Commissioner's Office or Competition and Markets Authority, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or Competition Bureau Canada, the New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner or Commerce Commission, the US Federal Trade Commission, a state attorney general, or a state privacy authority.
17. Severability and no waiver
If a court finds one provision invalid or unfair, the remaining provisions continue to the extent legally possible. A delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience. The English version controls unless local law requires otherwise.
18. Contact and version record
The operator is Intaglo, Inc., Delaware, United States. Current privacy and legal contact details are displayed on this page when configured by the operator. At payment we record the Terms version, session and product identifiers, payer name, amount, timestamp, IP address, browser user-agent, and relevant discount or add-on flags to demonstrate the transaction and the notice accepted.
This document is a multi-jurisdiction consumer baseline, not a certification that every state or provincial requirement has been satisfied. Intaglo should obtain launch review from qualified counsel in each active market.
