PixVerse Platform Terms of Service

This platform (hereinafter referred to as the “Platform”) aims to provide users with the API (Application Programming Interface) of the video generation technology service of PixVerse Platform. Users are required to carefully read these usage rules before using the platform services. By using this platform, users agree to be bound by these rules. If users do not agree to these rules, they should not use this platform.

The ownership and operation rights of the platform belong to PixVerse. These rules may be revised according to changes in laws and regulations, the development of the platform business, and the evolution of API technology. The platform will notify users of the rule changes through reasonable means such as announcements on the platform’s official website and developer email notifications. After the rules are revised, users’ continued use of the platform API services will be deemed as their acceptance of the modified terms.

1. General Agreements

1.1 Currently, the platform API only provides services to developers (hereinafter collectively referred to as “users”) who have legal development and use qualifications. Moreover, the regions where users are located and their usage behaviors should comply with relevant laws and regulations. Before applying to use the API, users need to submit necessary qualification certification documents and related information to the platform. The platform has the right to review them, and if it is found that users do not meet the requirements, the platform has the right to refuse to provide API services.

1.2 The platform API mainly provides AI content generation (text-to-video, image-to-video, audio and video generation, etc.) and related basic processing functions, such as generating video content based on specific inputs and adjusting the generated videos. The specific API functions and invocation methods will be detailed in the technical documentation provided by the platform. The platform has the right to adjust and expand the API functions according to business development and technological upgrades, but will notify users in advance.

1.3 To improve the performance and security of the API, the platform will update the API version irregularly. New versions may introduce new functions, optimize performance, or fix bugs. The platform will strive to ensure the backward compatibility of the API. However, in some cases, users may need to make appropriate adjustments to their applications to adapt to the new API version. The platform will inform users of the update content and possible impacts through developer documentation, email notifications, etc. before the update. Users should pay attention in a timely manner and upgrade as required.

1.4 The video generation and related data generated through the API can only be used by users in legal application scenarios and cannot be used for any illegal, infringing, or activities that violate public order and good customs. Specifically, users shall not use the API to create or disseminate illegal information, infringe on the intellectual property rights or privacy of others, engage in malicious competition, or interfere with the normal operation of the platform. Without the written authorization of the platform, it is prohibited to use the API for any commercial profit-making activities, such as directly selling API invocation services or using the API to generate videos for advertising without legal authorization.

2. User and Account Management

2.1 Users should ensure that they have full capacity for civil conduct. During the registration process, users should provide real, accurate, and complete registration information, including but not limited to name, contact information, email address, company name (if registering in the name of an enterprise), etc. The actions of users creating an account through the registration process provided by the platform, logging in by associating with an existing third-party account (such as a social media account), and applying for access to the API by providing company information to the platform are all regarded as user registration/login and agreement to the platform agreement.

2.2 Users are responsible for properly safeguarding the username and password of their accounts and are responsible for all activities conducted under the account. If any unauthorized use of the account is discovered, users should immediately notify the platform. The platform has the right to suspend or terminate the use of the account when necessary to protect the security of the account and the normal operation of the platform.

2.3 Users guarantee that the email addresses used for registering user accounts and/or other associated accounts are legal and accurate. They also guarantee that all activities carried out on this platform using the aforementioned email addresses, such as registering user accounts, submitting corresponding qualification materials, confirming and agreeing to relevant agreements and rules, and selecting specific service categories, are either carried out by themselves or authorized by them and are binding on them. Users should also bear the legal responsibilities for all actions identified by the aforementioned email addresses or accounts.

2.4 Before using the API, users need to apply to the platform for an API account and key. The key is the identity credential for users to invoke the API and is associated with the user’s account registered on the platform. Users should properly safeguard the API key and not disclose it to any third party. The platform has the right to assign different API invocation permissions to users based on factors such as user account type, qualification certification status, and payment level, such as limiting the number of daily invocations and the scope of available API functions. Users shall not bypass the platform’s permission management mechanism by any means to obtain API resources beyond their authorized scope. The platform has the right to monitor and audit the use of the API key. If any abnormal use behavior is found, the platform has the right to immediately suspend or terminate the use of the key and require users to take measures to ensure security.

2.5 The ownership of the user account belongs to the platform. Users only obtain the permission to use the account on the premise of complying with these terms.
