1. Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of doubao.photos ("Service"), operated by Lustermount LLC ("we", "us", "our"). The Service is an AI image generation tool powered by ByteDance Doubao Seedream models via Volcengine Ark.
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility and Accounts
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you may only use the Service with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
The Service uses Google sign-in via Supabase for authentication. By signing in, you authorize us to access your Google profile information (name, email address, and profile picture) to create and maintain your account.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account and for all activity that occurs under your doubao.photos account.
3. Service Description
doubao.photos provides AI-powered image generation capabilities, including:
- Text-to-image generation from text prompts
- Image-to-image transformation using reference images
- Prompt-based image editing
- Prompt enhancement
- Image download and generation history
Image generation is performed by ByteDance Doubao Seedream models accessed through the Volcengine Ark API. The quality, accuracy, and content of generated images depend on the underlying model and your input prompts.
4. Credits, Payments, and Pricing
The Service operates on a credit-based system. Each image generation consumes credits based on the model tier selected.
- Free tier: Signed-in users receive a limited number of free daily credits. Guest users may receive limited trial generations.
- Credit packs: Additional credits can be purchased through our pricing page. Current plans include Starter (80 credits), Creator (200 credits), and Pro (500 credits).
- Payment processing: All payments are processed by Creem (Armitage Labs OU), which acts as the Merchant of Record. Creem handles payment processing, invoicing, and applicable tax collection on our behalf.
Pricing is subject to change. We will provide reasonable notice of pricing changes. Existing purchased credits remain valid regardless of pricing changes.
5. Refund Policy
No refunds after credit deduction. Once a generation job has started and credits have been deducted from your balance, those credits are non-refundable. This applies regardless of whether you are satisfied with the generated result.
- Failed generations: If a generation fails due to a provider or system error, the reserved credits are automatically refunded to your balance.
- Unused credit packs: If you have purchased a credit pack and have not consumed any credits from it, you may request a refund by contacting support@doubao.photos within 7 days of purchase.
For disputes regarding charges, contact us at support@doubao.photos. We will review each case individually and respond within 14 business days.
6. User Content and Intellectual Property
Your content: You retain ownership of the prompts you write and the images you upload to the Service. By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service (including transmitting prompts and images to the Volcengine Ark API for generation).
Generated images: Subject to these Terms and the Volcengine Ark acceptable use policies, you receive usage rights to the images generated through your use of the Service. We do not claim ownership of your generated outputs.
No guarantee of uniqueness: AI-generated images may be similar to images generated for other users using similar prompts. We do not guarantee that generated images are unique or free from resemblance to other works.
Platform IP: All rights in the Service itself, including its design, code, branding, and documentation, remain the property of Lustermount LLC.
