Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs your use of the GOGUL platform ("Service") and forms part of our Terms of Service. By using the Service, you agree to comply with this AUP.

GOGUL is designed for creative and professional use — storyboarding, image generation, character design, and visual storytelling. We are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and lawful environment for all users.

We reserve the right to update this AUP at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

You may use the Service to:

• (a) Create storyboards for films, advertisements, music videos, social media content, and other creative projects;
• (b) Generate images for personal or commercial projects (commercial use requires a paid subscription);
• (c) Create and manage character references, visual concepts, and style guides;
• (d) Export storyboards and visual content for production meetings, pitches, and presentations;
• (e) Generate prompts and visual references for use with other creative tools;

3.3 Violence and Gore

Realistic depictions of extreme violence, graphic gore, torture, mutilation, or gratuitous cruelty toward humans or animals.

GOGUL uses a combination of automated systems and human review to detect and enforce compliance with this AUP.

• (a) Automated filters may block certain prompts or generated content that violate this policy. A prompt not being automatically blocked does not mean it is permitted.
• (b) We may review content that is flagged by automated systems, reported by users, or otherwise comes to our attention.
• (c) We may remove or restrict access to content that violates this AUP at our sole discretion, with or without notice.
• (d) Decisions regarding content moderation are made at our sole discretion and are final.

Violations of this AUP may result in one or more of the following actions, at our sole discretion:

• (a) Warning: A notice that your content or behavior violates this AUP;
• (b) Content Removal: Removal of or restriction of access to the violating content;
• (c) Temporary Suspension: Temporary suspension of your account for a specified period;
• (d) Permanent Termination: Permanent termination of your account and access to the Service;
• (e) Legal Action: Referral to law enforcement or initiation of legal proceedings where appropriate.

The severity of enforcement action will depend on the nature, severity, and frequency of the violation. Severe violations — including CSAM, terrorism, and threats of real-world violence — will result in immediate account termination without prior warning and may be reported to law enforcement.

No refund will be issued for accounts terminated due to violations of this AUP.

If you believe that enforcement action was taken against your account in error, you may submit an appeal to support@gogul.ai within 14 days of the action. Your appeal should include your account email, a description of the action taken, and your explanation of why you believe the action was in error.

We will review appeals in good faith and respond within 14 business days. Our decision on appeals is final.

If you encounter content or behavior on the Service that you believe violates this AUP, please report it to us at:

Email: support@gogul.ai

When reporting, please include:

• (a) A description of the violation;
• (b) Any relevant screenshots or links;
• (c) The username or account information of the user involved (if known).

We take all reports seriously and will investigate promptly. Reporters will not be penalized for making good faith reports.

By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with this Acceptable Use Policy. You understand that violations may result in enforcement action up to and including permanent account termination and referral to law enforcement.
