AI Content Policy

Effective 21 September 2026. Last updated 21 September 2026.

Tenet generates images, video, speech and music from your prompts, and edits media you supply. This policy covers what you may and may not make with it, who owns the result, and what we do when the rules are broken. It forms part of the Terms of Service.

1. You are responsible for what you make

Tenet is a tool. You choose the prompts, the references and the models, and you decide what to do with the output. That makes the result yours in both senses: yours to use, and yours to answer for.

Before you upload anything as a reference — a photograph, a clip, a voice — make sure you have the right to use it that way. A picture you found is not a picture you may feed to a model.

2. What you must not generate

Never, under any circumstances:

• Sexual content involving minors. Any depiction of a minor in a sexual context, generated or edited, real or synthetic. There is no artistic, fictional or research exception, and this is the one item on this page that we report to the authorities as well as acting on.
• Non-consensual intimate imagery. Sexual or nude depictions of a real, identifiable person who has not agreed to it, including by placing someone's face onto such material.
• Content sexualising a real person who has not consented.

Also prohibited:

• Deceptive depictions of real people. Putting words in a real person's mouth, or showing them doing something they did not do, where a viewer could reasonably take it for real. Satire and commentary are legitimate, but they need to be evidently what they are.
• Election and civic deception — fabricated statements from candidates or officials, false voting information, forged results.
• Fraud and impersonation — synthetic voice or likeness used to impersonate someone in order to obtain money, credentials or access; forged documents, identification, receipts or records.
• Violence and extremism — content promoting, glorifying or inciting terrorism, mass violence or violence against a person or group; graphic violence made to shock or traumatise.
• Harassment and hate — content attacking a person or a group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation, or made to demean a specific person.
• Harm instructions — usable guidance for weapons, explosives, or materially dangerous acts.
• Malicious software and content designed to compromise systems.
• Unlawful content in any jurisdiction where you or your audience are.

3. Real people, and the line we care most about

The likeness and voice of real people is where this technology does the most damage, so it gets its own rule:

Do not generate a realistic depiction of an identifiable living person without their consent, and never in a sexual, humiliating or deceptive context.

Public figures may be depicted for genuine commentary, criticism, satire or reporting — but not in a way designed to be mistaken for the real thing, and never sexually.

If someone's likeness or voice has been used in Tenet without their agreement, contact max@strivehaus.com and we will act.

4. Adult content

Sexually explicit material may not be created or uploaded, whatever its subject and whoever is depicted. This is a flat rule, not a judgement about the material — it keeps this policy simple to state and simple to enforce, and it keeps our payment processing uncomplicated.

Note that this is not only our decision. Several model providers refuse such content under their own terms regardless of ours, so requests of this kind will commonly fail at the provider as well.

5. The providers have rules too

Generations run on third-party models — including those operated by ByteDance, Google, Kuaishou, MiniMax, Alibaba, Tencent, xAI, Black Forest Labs, ElevenLabs and Anthropic — reached through Sume, fal.ai and ElevenLabs.

Each has its own content policy, and each enforces it. A request may be refused, filtered or blocked by a provider even when this policy permits it. Those refusals are theirs, not ours, and we generally cannot overturn them. Where a provider bills for a refused request, that cost may still reach your account — we release the hold where we are not charged, and charge where we are.

6. Who owns the output

As between you and us, output you generate is yours. We claim no ownership of it. You grant us only the licence needed to store, process, render and deliver it to you, which is described in the Terms of Service.

Three honest caveats:

1. Your rights depend on the model's terms, which vary by provider and sometimes by plan. Some restrict commercial use. Check the terms of the model you used before you rely on output commercially.
2. AI output may not be copyrightable. In several jurisdictions, including the United States, material generated without sufficient human authorship cannot be registered for copyright. We make no promise about the status of anything you generate.
3. Output is not unique. The same prompt may produce near-identical results for someone else, and a model may produce something resembling its training data. We do not warrant that output is original or that it infringes nobody's rights.

7. Disclosure

Where you publish synthetic media in a context that could mislead — particularly anything depicting real people or real events — label it as AI-generated. Some jurisdictions now require this. It is good practice everywhere.

8. Enforcement

We may review content where we have reason to believe this policy has been broken, including on report, and we may remove it, suspend generation, suspend or terminate an account.

Serious breaches — anything in the "never" list in section 2 — result in immediate termination without refund, and reporting to law enforcement where the law requires or the circumstances warrant. Credits attached to a terminated account are forfeit where the termination is for a serious breach.

We aim to be proportionate about everything else. If you think we've got it wrong, reply to the notice and a human will look again.

Report a violation: max@strivehaus.com.

9. Changes

Models change, capabilities change, and the law here is moving quickly. We will update this policy as that happens, and tell you before material changes take effect.
