Acceptable use policy: the page most vendors point to

An acceptable use policy is the document a vendor uses to list what its service may not be used for. Below, Grok Imagine, Pika and Synthesia show how the wording varies. From 3 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.

An acceptable use policy is the document a vendor uses to list what its service may not be used for. In this register it is usually shorter than the terms of service and more concrete: named categories, examples, and a line about what happens on a breach.

The name is not consistent. The same job is done by pages called usage policy, prohibited use policy, content policy or community guidelines, and some vendors keep the rules inside their terms instead. Where a vendor has both, the more specific page is the one quoted for a label.

2The making side of the policy

Policy wording in “Acceptable use policy” meets production here; SceneMixer's pages describe its side like this:

It is the reference every later segment points at, which is what keeps a character's face and a location consistent across an episode.

A SceneMixer segment comes out with its sound already in it: each line spoken in that character’s voice, the speaker’s lips moving with the words, and the ambience of the place — rain, traffic, a clock.
