Terms of Service
Website Terms of Service
Effective date: October 28, 2026
These terms apply to the IAMHUMAN website, Android APP, Human ID, and community services. Read and understand them in full before registering an account, having a Human ID issued, or using community features.
1. Acceptance of Terms and Service Scope
By using the service, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not register, log in, request issuance, or use community features. When viewing public pages that do not require registration, you must still follow the provisions on content access, intellectual property, and lawful use. →
The service includes Human ID challenges, issuance, and public verification, together with accounts, username-and-password login, a chronological community feed, comments, likes, friends, reporting, and one-to-one chat. Available features may change with product versions.
2. Adults only
- You must have the legal capacity appropriate to your use of the service and be able to take responsibility for your account and published content.
- You must be at least 18 years old, have the legal capacity required for your use, and truthfully confirm adult eligibility during registration. The service is not directed to children and an account may be restricted or deleted if the confirmation is false.
- If you use the service on behalf of an organization, you should ensure that you have obtained legal and sufficient authorization.
3. The meaning and limitations of Human ID
Human ID identifies a challenge result and holder relationship within IAMHUMAN products. It is not an identity document, real-name verification, electronic signature, credit reference, or government-recognized credential. Current technology also cannot prove with certainty that every participant or piece of content has never used AI. “A human community without AI” is a product-governance goal and participation rule, not an unconditional guarantee.
What the recognition engine can and cannot do
The recognition engine looks at how interactions unfold and at a few writing statistics. It gives probabilistic signals: it is not biometric identification, it cannot prove that someone is a natural person, and it cannot detect AI-generated content with certainty. It can be wrong in either direction.
So no single signal decides anything permanently: you can re-check yourself at any time and appeal a decision in the safety centre. A Human ID, a physical card and the Human Commitment show that the relevant check or commitment was completed; none of them is an identity document or a guarantee that a person or a piece of content never used AI. The physical card is not a government, travel or payment ID.
Physical-card intent terms
Physical cards are a prelaunch physical product. Production PayPal checkout is disabled by default and Sandbox is test-only. Submitting an intent while disabled takes no payment, reserves no stock and starts no production. Live requires inventory, production, return, webhook and reconciliation gates plus confirmation at the moment of a real charge. Returning from PayPal is not proof of payment; only server-verified PayPal COMPLETED plus internal captured is paid. Payment is not currently enabled, and Sandbox activity is not a sale. Live PayPal checkout may be enabled only after inventory, production, return terms, HTTPS callbacks, verified webhooks and reconciliation all pass; an actual charge still requires your confirmation at the time of payment. The card is a physical good, so Google Play Billing is not used. Returning from PayPal is not proof of payment: only a server-verified PayPal COMPLETED capture is paid, and refund, reversal or dispute states can stop fulfilment.
The card is not a government identity, travel, financial/payment or real-name document, and online Human ID status remains authoritative. You must have the right to print uploaded artwork. Custom designs and shapes are subject to content, rights and manufacturability review. Custom-item change, cancellation and return terms will be confirmed before payment is enabled; quality remedies and mandatory legal rights remain unaffected.
4. Account, Credentials and Login
- Before registering a community account, you must hold a valid Human ID and link it using the APP private holder credential or a five-minute one-time pairing code. Each Human ID can be linked to only one community account.
- Keep your passwords, devices, APP private credentials, and login sessions secure. Do not sell, lend, share, misuse, or help others bypass holder verification.
- The website and APP only support login with IAMHUMAN community username and password, and do not provide third-party account login or binding.
- If a device is lost, a credential is exposed, or you notice an unusual login, sign out of the session as soon as possible and stop presenting the affected Human ID.
5. Human Community Participation Rules
Human Commitment · Website Rules
- Participate as your own person and do not use bots, scripts, batch accounts, generative AI ghostwriting, or unattended tools to automatically sign up, challenge, post, comment, like, add friends, or send messages.
- Do not forge Human IDs, impersonate others, manipulate interaction data, or bypass pairing, login, rate limiting, reporting, or community-governance mechanisms.
- Do not post unlawful, fraudulent, harassing, hateful, violent, pornographic, maliciously promotional, or spam content, or content that infringes another person’s intellectual property, personality, or privacy rights.
- Do not scrape community data without permission or disclose one-to-one messages, personal information, identity credentials, or other non-public material.
6. User Content and Authorization
You retain all rights the law gives you in your original content and warrant that you have the rights required to publish it. To store, display, transmit, back up, review, and maintain the service, you grant the operator a non-exclusive, limited license to use that content only as necessary to provide and govern the service. The current product does not sell private-chat content or use posts, comments, or private chats to train generative AI models. If that purpose changes, the rules will be updated first and any legally required authorization will be obtained.
7. Friends and Chat
One-to-one chat is available only between accounts that are friends. Chat content is stored on the server and is not end-to-end encrypted. Participants and personnel with strictly authorized operational, troubleshooting, or legally required governance access may see relevant content. Do not use the service to transmit passwords, payment details, identity documents, medical records, or other highly sensitive information.
8. Community governance and account measures
To maintain authentic communication and service stability, the operator may investigate content or accounts suspected of violating the rules and take necessary measures, including warnings, reduced visibility, content removal, feature restrictions, account suspension, or revocation of the related Human ID status. Urgent action may be taken first and reviewed later, where practicable, in light of the evidence and any appeal. Do not misuse reporting to harass or retaliate against others.
9. Third-party services and data processing locations
The service uses an operator-managed website and database server within Tencent Cloud's mainland-China network, Google Fonts, and a default-disabled PayPal integration whose Sandbox is test-only; it does not use third-party account authentication. Provider availability and data processing are governed by their terms. See the Privacy Policy for processing locations and cross-border transfers. →
10. Service changes, interruptions and boundaries of responsibility
The operator may modify, suspend, or discontinue features because of product improvements, maintenance, security, compliance, or changes to third-party services, with reasonable advance notice where practicable. We aim to keep the service reliable but do not guarantee uninterrupted service, permanent retention of all content, detection of every automated interaction, or any legal effect for Human ID outside the product.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, responsibility for losses caused by force majeure, network operators, cloud-service failures, or improper management of user devices or credentials will be allocated according to each party’s fault and applicable law. Nothing in this section limits or excludes liability where the law does not allow it.
11. Discontinuation of use, deletion and update of terms
You may stop using the service at any time and may permanently delete the APP account through the in-app path or the public web deletion page. Deletion covers associated account data as described in the Privacy Policy, but does not automatically erase or revoke the independently issued Human ID registry record. Eligible moderation actions provide one appeal; urgent protective measures may remain during review. Payment is not currently enabled, and Sandbox activity is not a sale. Live PayPal checkout may be enabled only after inventory, production, return terms, HTTPS callbacks, verified webhooks and reconciliation all pass; an actual charge still requires your confirmation at the time of payment. The card is a physical good, so Google Play Billing is not used. Returning from PayPal is not proof of payment: only a server-verified PayPal COMPLETED capture is paid, and refund, reversal or dispute states can stop fulfilment. Community stomp signals are deleted with the account. A pending-review or confirmed-AI case retains the affected Human ID and decision metadata after account deletion only to complete review, enforce a confirmed permanent sanction, and prevent deletion-and-re-registration abuse. An overturned case is not an active registration barrier.
12. Applicable rules and contacts
Formation, performance, and dispute resolution under these Terms are subject to the mandatory laws applicable where the service operator and its users are located. The parties should first try to resolve disputes amicably; unresolved disputes may be submitted to a competent authority or court with jurisdiction. The operating entity and contact details are listed below.
- Operator name in Chinese: 南京定义未来科技有限公司
- Operator name in English: Nanjing Define the Future Technology Co., Ltd
- Registered and contact address: Building T2, Tianji Industrial Park, No. 2 Huachuang Road, Jiangbei New Area
- Contact email: panda@deffuture.com
13. Third-party Auth and relying applications
IAMHUMAN Auth v1 is compatible with the OIDC Authorization Code flow with PKCE but is not OpenID Certified. Client approval is discretionary and may be suspended or revoked. Clients must use exact registered redirects, validate state, nonce, PKCE, issuer and signatures, request minimum scopes, protect credentials, publish accurate privacy and terms documents, and provide disconnection and deletion channels.
A relying application must not present HA1, pairwise sub, or any IAMHUMAN claim as real-name verification, government identity, legal capacity, credit, a globally unique natural-person account, or proof that a person or content is AI-free. It remains responsible for its own decisions, notices, lawful basis, retention, security and user remedies. Users may deny or revoke authorization without losing their IAMHUMAN account.
