Terms and Conditions

Last updated: Aug 21, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using StudioGenie.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms form a binding agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and StudioGenie.app (“StudioGenie,” “PortraitsGenie,""we,” “us,” or “the Company”).

By creating an account, accessing, or using StudioGenie (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service includes the StudioGenie website, as well as any mobile application we operate that links to or incorporates these Terms — regardless of the name, branding, or app store listing under which that mobile application is published. Publishing a mobile app under a different consumer-facing name does not create a separate agreement; these Terms govern your use of that app as well.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The Service is not directed at, and we do not knowingly permit use by, anyone under 18.

3. Description of the Service

StudioGenie is an AI image-generation platform that lets you generate and edit images using tools including, but not limited to:

  • Text-to-image generation — creating images from text prompts.
  • Photo upgrade — enhancing or restoring uploaded photos.
  • Style transfer — applying a style to an uploaded image.
  • Outfit try-on — visualizing a person wearing different clothing.
  • Image-to-image transformation — transforming an uploaded image into a different style or representation.

These tools are powered in part by third-party AI models (see Section 8, Third-Party Services). Available tools, credit costs, and output quality may change over time at our discretion.

4. Accounts

You authenticate and manage your account through our identity provider (Clerk). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support [at] studiogenie.app if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

5. Credits, Payments & Refunds

  • Credits. The Service operates on a credit system. Credits are consumed each time you generate or process an image. You may receive credits through account signup, daily login bonuses, or by purchasing a credit plan.
  • Purchases. Credit plans are sold as one-time, non-recurring purchases processed by Stripe. We do not store your payment card details — Stripe processes and stores that information under its own terms and privacy policy.
  • No expiration. Purchased and bonus credits do not expire and do not reset.
  • Failed generations. Credits are deducted when you submit a generation, before it runs. If that attempt then fails — for example the AI provider is unavailable or times out, or we cannot store the finished image — the credits for that attempt are automatically returned to your credit balance. A generation that completes successfully has been delivered and its credits are not refundable, whether or not you are satisfied with the result.
  • No refunds on purchases. Apart from the automatic credit returns described above, all purchases are final. Payments are non-refundable, including for unused credits remaining on your balance, except where required by applicable law. If you were charged in error — a duplicate charge, the wrong plan, or a payment that did not result in credits being added to your account — contact us at support [at] studiogenie.app and we will correct it, including a refund where appropriate.
  • AI photo packs. AI photo packs are a separate one-time purchase rather than a credit deduction, and a pack that fails to train or to generate images is refunded through its own process.
  • Refund Policy. Our Refund Policy describes the above in full and forms part of these Terms. Where it gives you more detail on how a specific refund is handled, that detail applies.
  • Pricing changes. We may change credit costs or plan pricing at any time; changes do not affect credits you have already purchased.

6. User Content & Your Consent

“User Content” means any image, photo, prompt, or other material you upload to or submit through the Service.

6.1 Your representations

By uploading User Content, you represent and warrant that:

  1. You own the content or otherwise have all necessary rights and consents to upload it and to have it processed by the Service (including by our third-party AI processors);
  2. If the content depicts a real, identifiable person other than yourself, you have that person’s explicit consent to upload their likeness and to generate derivative images of them using the Service;
  3. You will not upload content of any person under 18 years of age, in any context;
  4. The content does not infringe any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.

6.2 Prohibited content and use

You may not use the Service to upload, generate, or attempt to generate:

  • Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content sexualizing minors, in any form;
  • Non-consensual intimate or sexual imagery of any real person;
  • Content that impersonates a real person or falsely depicts them saying or doing something they did not, in a way intended to deceive, defame, harass, or cause harm (“deepfakes” used maliciously);
  • Content that infringes another’s intellectual property or violates their publicity/privacy rights;
  • Content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, or intended to incite violence;
  • Any material that violates applicable law.

We reserve the right to review, remove, refuse to process, or report any content that violates this section, and to suspend or terminate accounts that violate it, without refund of any consumed or unused credits.

7. Ownership & License

  • Your content. You retain ownership of the User Content you upload. You grant us, and our third-party AI processing providers, a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to store, process, and transmit that content solely to operate and provide the Service to you.
  • Generated output. As between you and us, you own the images generated for you through the Service (“Output”), subject to (a) your compliance with these Terms, (b) any rights of third parties depicted in or referenced by your input, and (c) the terms of the underlying third-party AI model providers, which may impose their own restrictions on use of generated content.
  • We do not use your content or output to train models. We do not use your uploaded photos or generated Output to train our own AI models. Content is transmitted to third-party model providers (see below) solely to generate your requested Output; how those providers process data is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
  • The Service itself. All software, design, branding, and other elements of the Service (excluding User Content and Output) are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property law. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to our trademarks, branding, or underlying technology.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers to function, including:

  • Replicate — processes uploaded images and prompts to generate Output using AI models.
  • Stripe — processes payments for credit purchases.
  • Clerk — manages account authentication and identity.

Your use of the Service means your relevant data (e.g., images, prompts, payment details) will be transmitted to these providers as necessary to deliver the Service. We are not responsible for the practices, availability, or output of third-party providers beyond our reasonable control. See our Privacy Policy for more detail on data sharing.

9. AI Output Disclaimer

Image-generation models are probabilistic and can produce output that is inaccurate, low-quality, unexpected, or that unintentionally resembles real people, trademarks, or copyrighted works. We do not guarantee the accuracy, quality, originality, or fitness of any Output for a particular purpose. You are responsible for reviewing Output before using or distributing it, including confirming it does not infringe third-party rights before any commercial or public use.

10. Acceptable Use

In addition to Section 6, you agree not to:

  • Reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract the underlying models or source code of the Service;
  • Use automated means (bots, scripts) to access the Service outside of any API we officially provide;
  • Resell or redistribute access to the Service without our written consent;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service;
  • Circumvent credit limits, rate limits, or access controls.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR 100 USD IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE ANY PAYMENT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your User Content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any third party’s rights.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms. You may stop using the Service and request account closure at any time by contacting us at support [at] studiogenie.app. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately; Sections 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, and 13 survive termination.

15. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada. Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us at support [at] studiogenie.app to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make a material change, we will provide reasonable notice (e.g., by email or a notice on the Service) before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
