Acceptable Use Policy

Last Updated: April 9, 2026

Purple Squirrel Media LLC and its affiliates (the "Company" or "PSM" or "We") offers generative AI models and services (collectively the "Products"), which are made available on cloud-hosted basis and/or on-premises deployments ("you", "your"), for the purpose of creating, editing, and producing videos, images, and audio content using, among other things, artificial intelligence ("AI") tools.

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to anyone who uses PSM's Products, and is intended to help our users stay safe and ensure our Products are being used responsibly.

We aim for our Products to be used safely and responsibly, while maximizing your control over how you use them. By using our Products, you accept and agree to adhere to this AUP.

We have established universal policies applicable to all our Products, as well as specific policies for users who use our PSM Video ("PSMV") API (the "API") to create applications for themselves or others. Violating our policies could result in action against your account, up to suspension or termination. We also work to make our models safer and more useful, by training them to refuse harmful instructions and reduce their tendency to produce harmful content.

We believe that learning from real-world use is a critical component of creating and releasing increasingly safe AI systems. We cannot predict all beneficial or abusive uses of our technology, so we proactively monitor for new abuse trends. Our policies will evolve based on what we learn over time.

  • Don't misuse our API to cause harm by intentionally deceiving or misleading others, including: (i) generating or promoting disinformation, misinformation, or false online engagement (e.g., comments, reviews); (ii) impersonating another individual or organization without consent or legal right; (iii) failing to ensure that automated systems (e.g., chatbots) disclose to people that they are interacting with AI, unless it's obvious from the context.
