8. AI Output Moderation

Portrait Generation Safety Review

Every AI-generated portrait image is automatically reviewed before you see it using Claude Vision moderation. LaneParty flags and discards images that:

Automatic rejection criteria:

  • Explicit sexual content (NSFW)
  • Violence or gore
  • Celebrity likeness detection (to prevent unauthorized deepfakes)
  • Trademarked logos or brand marks
  • Hateful symbols or extremist content
  • Weapons

What happens when an image is flagged:

  • The flagged image is not shown to you
  • The image is permanently deleted
  • You receive a free retry with your same selfie and style selection
  • No cost; retries are unlimited
  • This is not counted toward your one $0.99 mid-season regeneration

Moderation is not perfect:

  • AI moderation may incorrectly flag safe content or miss unsafe content
  • You may report a moderation decision (incorrectly flagged image) via in-app support
  • LaneParty will review and may manually override an automated flag
  • Please allow 24-48 hours for manual review

AI Photo Score Import has no age restriction — available to all Pro users, regardless of age.

What You Acknowledge

By uploading a selfie for AI Portrait Generation, you acknowledge:

  • Transmission to third party: Your selfie will be transmitted to [SERVICE NAME]'s servers for processing

  • No guarantee of likeness: Generated portraits may not accurately resemble you; results vary by style and AI capability
  • Deletion after generation: Your selfie file will be deleted from LaneParty after generation completes

- Deletion does NOT guarantee deletion from [SERVICE NAME]'s systems; see Section 6 for third-party retention

  • Generated images are your property: You own the right to use the generated portrait on your LaneParty card
  • Consent to processing: You consent to AI processing of your likeness for the purposes of generating your trading card portrait

Opting Out of AI Features

You may stop using AI features at any time without penalty:

  • Scores you've already imported remain in your game history

AI Portrait Generation:

  • You may delete your AI-generated portrait at any time
  • Your portrait reverts to another avatar type (default, illustrated, or uploaded photo)

  • Once you select and accept a generated portrait, it cannot be changed for the remainder of the season
  • Season boundaries: Each calendar year (January 1 – December 31) is a new season
  • You may generate a NEW portrait at the start of each season

[ATTORNEY REVIEW NEEDED: Confirm season reset mechanics and consider early-season reset policies for edge cases]

  • Cost: $0.99 per regeneration
  • Limit: One additional generation per season (beyond your first free generation)
  • Use case: Change your mind about your portrait or want a different style variant

Your notice:

  • LaneParty will provide 30 days' written notice of any material changes

Your choice upon notice:

  • You may delete your AI portrait(s) and discontinue using the feature
  • You may continue using the feature under the new terms
  • If you do not delete your portrait or opt out within 30 days, continued use implies acceptance of the new terms

[ATTORNEY REVIEW NEEDED: Confirm 30-day notice period is sufficient; consider if material changes require explicit re-consent vs. acceptance-by-inaction]

14. Dispute Resolution & Liability

Limitation of Liability

LaneParty's maximum liability for any AI feature dispute, data loss, or misprocessing is limited to:

  • The amount you paid for your Pro subscription in the immediately preceding 30 days

  • [ ] Section 9 (Age Restriction): Confirm age verification mechanism meets legal standards. If any users under 13, assess COPPA compliance requirements.
  • [ ] Section 4 (Consent Mechanisms): Review exact consent flow wording for legal sufficiency. Confirm "explicit opt-in" meets definition under applicable state laws (e.g., California's AIMA).
  • [ ] Section 12 (Season Lock): Clarify mechanics and policy if user disputes arise mid-season (e.g., account deletion, subscription cancellation).
  • [ ] Section 14 (Liability Cap): Confirm $30-day liability cap is enforceable in applicable jurisdiction(s). Consider if unconscionable under state law.
  • [ ] Service Provider Terms: Link to and reference [SERVICE NAME]'s actual Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (currently placeholder). Ensure compatibility with LaneParty's terms.
  • [ ] Selfie Consent (Section 10): Confirm language is sufficient for AI likeness processing consent. May require explicit consent to face-recognition and deepfake considerations.
