This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs what you may and may not generate, upload, request, or distribute using HiDream AI (the "Service"). It forms part of, and is incorporated by reference into, our Terms of Service. By using the Service you agree to comply with this AUP in full.
We operate HiDream AI as an AI-powered image generation platform. Because generative AI can be misused to create harmful or illegal content, we apply the following restrictions to every prompt, uploaded asset, and generated output on the platform — including paid and free users, API callers, and any third party acting on your behalf.
You may not use the Service to generate, upload, store, request, attempt to obtain, or distribute any of the following. This list is non-exhaustive; we reserve the right to treat content of a similar nature as prohibited.
- Sexually explicit content, pornography, or material that depicts or is primarily designed to cause sexual arousal ("NSFW" content), in any artistic style, including photorealistic, illustrated, anime, 3D, or otherwise.
- Non-consensual intimate imagery, including so-called "revenge porn."
- Content that sexualizes any real identifiable person without their verifiable consent.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for content that sexually exploits or endangers minors. You may not generate, attempt to generate, upload, or share any sexualized content involving minors (under 18), whether real or AI-generated, photorealistic or stylized. Suspected CSAM will be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant law-enforcement authorities, and your account will be permanently terminated.
- Realistic depictions of an identifiable real person (including public figures and celebrities) that could plausibly be mistaken for authentic photography or video, without that person's verifiable consent.
- Deepfakes intended to deceive viewers, including for fraud, election interference, defamation, harassment, or to impersonate a specific individual or entity.
- Content that places real people in sexual, violent, or degrading scenarios.
- Graphic violence, torture, or gore created to shock, glorify, or incite harm.
- Content that targets, harasses, bullies, or degrades an individual or group based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, disability, or serious disease.
- Hate symbols, terrorist iconography, or content promoting violent extremist organizations.
- Instructions, blueprints, or visual depictions that meaningfully aid the creation of weapons (including firearms, explosives, chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons).
- Content promoting or facilitating the manufacture, sale, or use of controlled substances, illegal drugs, or counterfeit medications.
- Content that facilitates human trafficking, smuggling, or other serious crimes.
- Counterfeit currency, fake identification documents, forged signatures, fraudulent certificates, or phishing material.
- Impersonation of government agencies, financial institutions, or known brands for deceptive purposes.
- Malware, exploit code, or visuals designed to assist cyberattacks.
- Content that infringes copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, publicity rights, or any other intellectual-property right of a third party.
- Reproductions of copyrighted characters, logos, or artworks used in a manner not permitted by the rights-holder.
- Medical, legal, tax, or financial advice presented as authoritative and intended to be relied upon, where such reliance could cause harm.
- Fabricated news, manipulated evidence, or disinformation intended to deceive the public.
- Prompts designed to bypass, disable, or manipulate our safety systems, content filters, or moderation APIs ("jailbreaks").
- Attempting to probe, reverse-engineer, or exhaust the moderation or generation APIs in ways that harm availability.
- Using the Service to train competing models without written permission, or scraping generated content at a scale that violates our rate limits.
You may use HiDream AI for lawful creative, educational, commercial, and personal projects, including concept art, marketing visuals, product mockups, editorial illustration, game and storyboard assets, personal avatars, and research — provided the output and any uploaded inputs do not fall into the categories above.
- Pre-generation screening. Every prompt submitted to HiDream AI is screened through a content-moderation pipeline, including Creem's Moderation API. Prompts flagged or denied by moderation will not be generated.
- Image screening. Uploaded images are screened with additional automated moderation before they are processed by image-to-image or editing models.
- Consequences of violations. Violations of this AUP may result in, without limitation:
- Refusal to process a prompt or upload;
- Removal of generated or uploaded content;
- Suspension or permanent termination of your account;
- Forfeiture of unused credits or subscription time;
- Reporting to law-enforcement or regulatory authorities where legally required;
- Civil or criminal referral for the most serious violations.
- Preservation of evidence. We may preserve prompts, uploaded files, generated outputs, moderation logs, and account metadata as needed to investigate suspected violations, comply with legal requests, or defend legal claims.
If you believe content generated, uploaded, or distributed on HiDream AI violates this AUP, or if you are the subject of non-consensual content, please contact us at support@hidream.org with as much detail as possible (URLs, account identifiers, screenshots). Reports involving CSAM or imminent threats of harm will be prioritized.
We may update this AUP from time to time to reflect new risks, new capabilities, or legal requirements. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised AUP.
