1. Agreement

By using Game Avatar Studio you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old in every country. By uploading a photo you confirm you are 18+.

The service is not offered to residents of Illinois, USA. Uploads from Illinois are blocked, and before each upload you confirm that you are not an Illinois resident and not in Illinois.

The service and purchases are not available in: CN, CU, IR, KP, RU, SY, XK (sanctions and payment restrictions), or in other places where our payment partner does not operate.

3. Your photos and biometric consent

• Only upload photos of yourself. Never upload photos of other people, children, or public figures.
• Before each generation you give explicit, informed consent to the processing of your facial features for the sole purpose of creating your images. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Selfies are deleted within 24 hours. Generated images are deleted after 30 days. Nothing you upload is used to train AI models.

4. Prohibited use

• Creating sexual, nude or intimate imagery, or any imagery of minors.
• Impersonation, harassment, defamation, deceptive deepfakes, or content that violates anyone’s rights.
• Removing or obscuring the “AI-generated” mark or metadata label to mislead others.
• Attempting to bypass moderation, rate limits, credits or security controls.

5. Intellectual property

• All archetypes and styles are original works of Game Avatar Studio. They are inspired by game genres, not by any specific game, character or company, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by any game developer, publisher or platform. Any resemblance to third-party characters is unintentional — report it and we will review it.
• You keep your rights in your selfie. Subject to these terms, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use your generated images for personal, non-commercial purposes (profiles, streams, social posts). Commercial use requires a separate licence.
• You grant us a limited licence to process your uploads only to provide the service.
• AI-generated images may not be protected by copyright in some countries and similar images may be produced for other users.
• To report IP infringement, email abuse@example.com.

6. Reporting and takedown

Use “Report this image” or email abuse@example.com. We remove reported non-consensual intimate images, including AI deepfakes, within 48 hours of a valid request (US TAKE IT DOWN Act) and take reasonable steps to remove copies.

7. Credits and payments

Reseller of record. Payments are processed through Stripe Managed Payments. Purchases are sold through Link: Link (operated by Stripe) acts as the merchant and reseller of record for your purchase, calculates and collects any applicable sales tax, VAT or GST, sends your receipt and invoice, and handles payment-related support, refunds and disputes. Your card statement shows “LINK.COM*”. Payment-related requests can be made at support.link.com; product questions go to support@example.com. Game Avatar Studio remains responsible for the service itself.

• Credits are sold in packs through Stripe, do not expire, have no cash value and are non-transferable.
• If a purchase is refunded or charged back, the matching unused credits are removed and the account may be reviewed.
• Credits are only consumed for successful images; failed or moderated generations are refunded automatically.
• Free accounts receive 2 low-resolution watermarked previews. HD export without watermark requires credits.
• Each image includes one free re-roll if the likeness looks off. Photos must show exactly one face; photos that fail this check are not charged.
• Prices are shown in US dollars excluding tax; local tax is added at checkout and you may be offered your local currency.
• Refunds for unused credits are available within 14 days of purchase on request, from us or through Link support (which may refund within 60 days in some cases). Statutory consumer rights (including EU withdrawal rights) are unaffected.

The service is provided “as is”. AI output can be inaccurate or unexpected. To the extent permitted by law our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
