AI Usage & Rights Policy

Where you have complied with our Terms, we assign to you whatever rights we hold in the output you generate, and you may use it personally and commercially — thumbnails, social posts, ads, client work, print. We claim no royalty. We may display anonymised examples only with your permission.

• Section 9(3) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 recognises “computer-generated works” with no human author; the author is the person who made the arrangements necessary for creation — in practice, you as the prompting user. Protection lasts 50 years from creation (s.12(7)).
• Purely machine-made output with no human creative input may still be challenged for lack of originality following Infopaq/THJ v Sheridan reasoning. Meaningful prompt, edit and selection work strengthens your position.
• Text and data mining is only permitted for non-commercial research under s.29A. We do not mine your uploads to train models.
• Ads and marketing must comply with the CAP/BCAP Codes and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 — do not present synthetic imagery as a genuine photograph of a real product or person.

• The U.S. Copyright Office (2023 guidance; 2025 Part 2 report) will not register material produced solely by a machine. Human-authored elements — your selection, arrangement and edits — can be registered; disclose the AI-generated portions when you file.
• Thaler v. Perlmutter confirmed human authorship is required, so raw output may sit in an uncertain public-domain position. Add substantive human editing before relying on exclusive rights.
• Do not generate a real person's face, voice or persona for endorsement — that risks right-of-publicity claims, FTC deception rules, the ELVIS Act (Tennessee), California AB 602/1836 and the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act for intimate imagery.
• Fair use is decided case by case; generating output that closely mimics a living artist's protected work or a trademarked character is not permitted on Vidoodle.

• Section 2(d)(vi) of the Copyright Act 1957 treats the person who causes a computer-generated work to be created as its author, which supports user ownership of Vidoodle output. The Copyright Office has, however, questioned registrations naming an AI as author.
• Moral rights under s.57 belong to human authors only.
• The IT Act 2000 and the Intermediary Guidelines 2021 require synthetic media that impersonates a real person to be labelled and permit rapid takedown; India's 2025 labelling proposals expect visible marking of significantly synthetic media.
• Personality-rights orders from the Delhi High Court protect celebrity name, voice, image and likeness. Do not generate or publish celebrity likenesses for promotion.
• Advertising must follow ASCI guidelines, including disclosure of virtual influencers and digitally altered claims.

• Label significantly synthetic media as AI-generated where your platform, jurisdiction or audience expects it.
• Never depict a real, identifiable person doing or saying something they did not, without written consent.
• Do not upload photos of other people for enhancement or re-shooting without their permission.
• Do not recreate trademarks, logos, packaging or copyrighted characters for commercial use.
• Verify factual claims in AI-written copy before publishing; you are the publisher, not us.

Your prompts and uploads are sent to third-party model providers solely to produce your result. We do not train our own models on your content and do not license your library to anyone. Provider-side handling is governed by their own terms.

Report content that violates this policy — deepfakes, non-consensual imagery, or infringement — to bigmindoffical@gmail.com. Confirmed violations lead to removal and account termination.
