These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of totalkto.ai (the "Service"), an application that lets you create AI-generated talking avatars from photographs, optionally clone a voice, attach knowledge documents, and hold AI-generated conversations. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

totalkto.ai uses third-party artificial intelligence services to (a) generate an animated, lip-synced talking avatar from a still photograph, (b) optionally create a synthetic "clone" of a voice from an audio sample, (c) extract text from documents you upload to ground the avatar's responses, and (d) generate conversational replies. The output is synthetic, AI-generated media and does not represent the real statements, opinions, or actions of any real person.

2. Eligibility & accounts

  • You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Service.
  • You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information and for keeping your credentials secure.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

3. Your content, rights & consent

You may upload only content that you have the full legal right and consent to use. It is illegal in many jurisdictions to create an AI likeness or a voice clone of a person without their consent. You — not us — are responsible for ensuring you have that right.

By uploading or submitting any photograph, image, audio recording, voice sample, document, file, name, or other content ("User Content"), you represent, warrant, and agree that:

  • You own the User Content, or you have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and explicit, informed, verifiable consent from every identifiable person whose face, likeness, image, voice, biometric data, or personal information appears in or is derived from it.
  • This requirement applies to both living and deceased persons. For a deceased person, you confirm you hold, or have the authorization of, the rightful estate, heirs, or other parties who control that person's likeness, voice, and publicity/personality rights under applicable law.
  • Creating a voice clone requires the consent of the person whose voice is being cloned; you confirm you have it.
  • Any document or file you upload does not infringe any copyright, trade secret, privacy, or confidentiality right, and you are authorized to use its contents.
  • Your User Content and your use of the Service comply with all applicable laws, including privacy, data-protection, biometric-data, right-of-publicity, intellectual-property, and consumer-protection laws.

You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant us and our third-party processors a limited license to host, process, transmit, and transform it solely to provide the Service to you (for example, sending a photo to the avatar provider, or an audio sample to the voice provider).

4. Prohibited uses

You must not use the Service to:

  • Impersonate any person or entity, or create deceptive media intended to mislead (e.g., to defraud, spread misinformation, or manipulate elections);
  • Create an avatar or voice clone of any person without their consent (or, for a deceased person, the consent/authority of their estate or rights holders);
  • Produce harassing, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit, or non-consensual intimate imagery;
  • Violate any person's privacy, publicity, biometric, or intellectual-property rights;
  • Upload malware, or attempt to breach, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service;
  • Do anything unlawful or that facilitates unlawful activity.

5. Your sole responsibility & indemnification

You are solely and fully responsible for all User Content you provide and for everything you do with the Service. No one else is responsible.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless totalkto.ai, its owners, officers, employees, and partners from and against any and all claims, demands, investigations, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your breach of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or of any third party's rights, including any person whose likeness, voice, or data you used without proper consent.

6. AI & synthetic media

  • All avatars, voices, and replies are artificially generated and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unexpected. They are not real recordings of, or statements by, any real person.
  • When a knowledge document is attached, the avatar is instructed to answer from that document; however, AI output cannot be guaranteed to be accurate and should not be relied upon for important decisions.
  • You are responsible for clearly disclosing, where appropriate or legally required, that media created with the Service is AI-generated.

7. Third-party providers

The Service relies on third-party providers to function, and your User Content is transmitted to them to deliver features you request. These currently include the avatar/streaming provider (D-ID), the voice and speech-to-text provider (ElevenLabs), the language-model provider (OpenAI), and the authentication, database, and storage provider (Supabase). Your use is also subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy for details on data handling.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any output will be accurate.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, totalkto.ai and its owners, officers, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or for any legal claims, fines, or penalties arising out of or related to your use of the Service or your User Content, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD $50.

10. Suspension & termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or used the Service unlawfully. You may stop using the Service and request deletion of your data at any time (see the Privacy Policy).

11. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
