Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: July 6, 2026
Pamba ("we," "us," or "our") offers an AI-powered platform and related services for creating and distributing short-form video content (collectively, the "Services"). Users create videos featuring AI avatars and can publish them to social media platforms. Our mission is to amplify and expand human creativity. To achieve this, we believe in building a safe, civil, and diverse community that inspires and fosters creativity, while preserving individuals' freedoms of expression and respecting each other's protected rights.
Pamba generates content using AI models developed by third parties. While these providers may apply their own safeguards, you remain subject to this acceptable use policy (this "AUP"). By using the Services, you agree to comply with this AUP, which we may update from time to time. Violation of this AUP can result in action against you or your account, including without limitation legal action or suspension or termination of your account.
You acknowledge and agree that you are fully responsible for your use of the Services - including the content you generate and the content you publish through the Services - and will only use them in a safe, responsible, and lawful manner in accordance with the rules set forth below.

Don't use the Services - including any inputs you submit or outputs you generate - to promote, engage in, generate, contribute to, or further any illegal, unlawful, or exploitative activities or content, including without limitation:

Likeness and Consent
Pamba is built around AI avatars and AI-generated video. Because of that, we hold likeness rights to a high standard:
- Don't create an avatar from, or generate content depicting, the name, image, voice, or other likeness of a real person without their consent.
- Don't use avatars or generated content to impersonate any real person or organization in a deceptive or harmful manner, or to falsely imply that a real person endorses a product, service, or viewpoint.
