Summary

This document establishes the terms of service for Kling AI, a video and image generation platform, and governs user access, content submission, and resource package purchases. The agreement grants Kling AI a license to use uploaded content for platform operations and model development. The terms establish that prepaid credits expire according to specified timelines and are non-refundable upon expiration, with unused credits cleared without carryover provisions.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document governs use of the Kling AI platform (operated by Kuaishou Technology or an affiliated entity), covering AI-generated video, image, and virtual try-on services delivered via web interface and API, with the agreement stated to bind users upon registration or use of the service. The terms authorize Kling AI to collect user-submitted content including images, videos, and text prompts, grant the platform a broad license to use submitted content for service operation and improvement, and establish a subscription and resource-package-based billing model where unused credits expire and do not carry over. Notable provisions include a content license that appears broad in scope relative to commonly observed AI platform practices, a non-refundable and non-carry-over policy for prepaid resource packages, and content moderation obligations imposed on users that may shift liability for AI-generated outputs onto the submitting party; the agreement asserts these terms but applicable law, particularly in the EU and California, may constrain enforcement of certain provisions such as broad content licenses and liability exclusions. The document engages GDPR and China's Personal Information Protection Law given the platform's Chinese origin and global user base, the EU AI Act given its AI-generation capabilities, the FTC Act regarding unfair or deceptive practices in billing and data use, and CCPA for California residents; the platform's cross-border data transfer practices from China to international users represent a material compliance consideration requiring jurisdiction-specific evaluation.
