1. Description of Services
1.1 SwapFans Services Overview:
SwapFans offers an array of AI-powered tools for creating and editing visual content. The services provided include:
Face Swap: AI-driven face replacement in images, GIFs, and videos.
Background Changer: Instantly change backgrounds in images using AI technology, allowing users to customize visual settings.
Image Generator: AI-based image creation from scratch based on user input, generating unique visuals.
Background Remover: Effortlessly remove backgrounds from images, isolating subjects for further use or editing. To use these services, you can either select a pre-set or upload your own photo, image, GIF, or video from your mobile device ("Uploaded Materials"). Our AI processes these inputs to generate the final content ("Created Content").
1.2 Payment Model (Credits-Based):
SwapFans operates on a credits-based system. You do not need to subscribe to any service. Instead, you purchase credits, which can be used to access various features of the App, including Face Swap, Background Changer, Image Generator, and Background Remover.
Purchasing Credits: Credits can be bought directly within the App, and each service has a specific credit cost associated with it. You are responsible for any charges, fees, or taxes associated with credit purchases.
Using Credits: Once you purchase credits, they will remain in your account until used. Credits can be applied to any service, and there is no expiration for unused credits unless specified otherwise.
Refunds are available only under specific conditions, which are outlined in the Refund Policy section.
