Photobooth terms
AI Photobooth – Terms of Use and Privacy Notice (Comwrap Reply UK)
Who we are
· Service: The “AI Photobooth” is an event application that captures your photo on an tablet, sends it to an AI image processor to create a cartoon-style image and short avatar video, and optionally emails you the generated image if you provide an email.
· Provider: Reply Limited trading as Comwrap Reply (“we”, “us”, “our”), registered in England and Wales at [address]. Contact: [privacy@reply.com] for privacy matters; [t.asary@reply.com] for service issues.
· Role under data protection law: For the AI Photobooth, we act as an independent data controller. If we are running the booth solely on behalf of a specific client, we may act as a processor and the client will be the controller; where that is the case we will display the client’s name and contact details.
Eligibility and participation
· You must be 16 or over to use the Photobooth. If you are under 16, a parent/guardian must give consent on your behalf.
· By tapping “I agree” you accept these Terms and confirm the information you provide is accurate and that you have authority to grant the permissions in section 4.
· The Photobooth is for entertainment only. Do not use it to upload content that is illegal, offensive, or infringes others’ rights.
What you provide and what we produce
· You may provide: your name (required to personalise the output), your email (optional, used only to send you your generated image), and your photo (required to generate the avatar).
· We produce: a cartoon‑style still image and a short avatar video derived from your photo. Outputs are stylised and for fun; they are not intended to depict reality.
Permissions and intellectual property
· Users’ responsibility: the Photobooth is for entertainment purposes only. You are solely responsible for the content you choose to create, upload, or share, and for ensuring that your use complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
· Consent and Permissions: By using the Photobooth, the user declares and warrants that they have the necessary rights and permissions to upload any photo. This includes ensuring that, if the photo contains the image of another person, the user has obtained that person’s prior consent to upload, share, or otherwise use their likeness. The operator shall not be held responsible for any unauthorized use of third-party images.
· Restrictions: You shall not use it to upload content that is illegal, offensive, or infringes upon the intellectual property, privacy, or other legal rights of any third party. You are also forbidden to upload others’ photos without permission; attempt to reverse engineer or attack the system; generate content that is unlawful, hateful, defamatory, pornographic or infringes third‑party rights; or interfere with other participants’ experience. We may remove content or suspend the service to protect participants or comply with law.
· Event marketing (optional): With your separate, explicit consent (unticked by default), we and/or the event organiser may display your generated image/video on event screens or social channels. You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us; withdrawal does not affect prior lawful use.
Intellectual property
· Your content: You retain all rights in your photo and likeness. You grant us a limited, revocable, non‑exclusive licence to use your photo and likeness solely to generate your stylised image/video and to deliver the service (including temporary storage, transmission to our AI processor, and email delivery if requested).
· Our content: We (or our licensors) own the application and model assets used to generate outputs. We grant you a personal, non‑exclusive licence to use, download and share your generated image/video for your personal and non‑commercial use. For any commercial use, please contact us at t.asar@reply.com
These Terms do not limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
6. Liability Disclaimer
· Service availability and limitations: We aim to set up, run and dismantle the Photobooth during stated event hours. The service may be unavailable due to venue connectivity, maintenance, security requirements or technical faults. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and we exclude implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for purpose.
· No Warranties – While the system uses artificial intelligence to generate images, the results are produced automatically and may not always be accurate, appropriate, or reflective of reality. By using the Photobooth, you acknowledge and agree that we make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, quality, or suitability of any generated images.
· No Liability – To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be held liable for any claims, damages, losses, or consequences arising from the use or misuse of the Photobooth, including but not limited to reputational harm, infringement of third-party rights, or emotional distress. In any case, our liability total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount of £ 10,000.
· Indemnification – You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us against any claims or liabilities resulting from your use of the Photobooth in violation of these terms.

Where your data goes (recipients and transfers)
· Within our group: authorised staff operating the booth and support teams with a need to know.
