1. Introduction

This policy specifies the provisions contained in the GTC regarding the use of Framo and, in particular, the AI features. It defines which content is permissible, which is prohibited, and which measures Framo may take in the event of violations.

The use of Framo requires agreement to this policy.

Users are responsible for all content that they:

  • upload,
  • use as training data,
  • have generated by AI,
  • share or publish via Framo.

  • Content with terrorist, extremist, or comparable goals or symbols

4.4 Hate Speech & Discrimination

  • Content that incites or glorifies hatred, violence, or discrimination based on race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, or other characteristics

4.5 Depictions of Real Persons

The creation of AI-generated content that uses, reproduces, or is based on the likeness of real persons (living or deceased) is generally prohibited. This includes in particular:

  • Deepfakes and photorealistic depictions of real persons
  • Stylized or artistic representations that are recognizably based on real persons
  • The use of photos of real persons as training data for LoRA models or similar techniques
  • So-called "nudifying" workflows or tools designed to remove clothing from images of real persons

Exception: Content depicting the User themselves, created exclusively for personal use, is exempt from this prohibition.

4.6 Copyright Infringement

  • Uploads, training data, or generated content that use copyrighted material without permission
  • Reproduction of protected characters, trademarks, or other protected works without the appropriate rights

4.7 Illegal Activities

  • Support of fraud, identity theft, hacking
  • Creation of content that promotes or facilitates criminal offenses
  • Other illegal or security-threatening content

5. Permitted Content

The following is particularly permitted:

  • Own or licensed media
  • Legal content that is not harmful to minors
  • Content that does not infringe third-party rights and does not violate this policy

6. LoRA Training and Other Training Data

6.1

Users may only use data for training for which they have the necessary rights.

6.2

Training data is not automatically made public. Users remain legally responsible for its use and any publication of their own models.

6.3

When publishing models or content based on such training data, the User is solely responsible for compliance with copyright and other legal requirements.

7. Reporting Violations & Takedown

7.1

Suspected violations of this policy can be reported to contact@framo.app. The report should contain as precise information as possible (e.g., URL, description of the content).

7.2

Framo may immediately delete or block content in the event of clear violations and, where applicable, take measures against the responsible account.

8. Enforcement and Sanction System

8.1 Possible Measures for Violations

  • Notice or warning
  • Deletion of individual content
  • Temporary suspension of certain features or the entire account (at least 24 hours)
  • Permanent suspension of the account

8.2

As a rule, repeated violation of this policy (approximately three confirmed violations) leads to permanent suspension. In the case of particularly serious violations, immediate account deletion may occur.

8.3

Users may raise objections to measures by email to contact@framo.app. However, there is no entitlement to the lifting of lawfully taken measures.

9. EU AI Act-Oriented Principles

Framo is guided by the core principles of the European legal framework for AI (e.g., transparency, security, abuse prevention, documentation, and accountability) in the design of its AI features.

No statement is made that Framo fully meets a specific regulatory classification or all future detailed requirements of the EU AI Act in every respect.

10. Amendments to this Policy

We may adapt this policy, particularly if legal frameworks or technical circumstances change. The currently valid version is available on our website.
