Please read these terms carefully before using our platform.
Last Updated: March 2, 2026
Welcome to Fanz. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Fanz LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
IMPORTANT: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 18. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
- You meet the minimum age requirement
- You have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements
- You are not prohibited from using the Platform under applicable laws
- You are not located in, or a citizen or resident of, any country subject to U.S. trade sanctions or embargoes

2. The Platform
Fanzis an AI companion platform that enables users ("Fans") to interact with AI-generated characters ("Companions") through messaging, AI-generated images, video calls, and other content. Creators can build and manage AI Companions on the Platform. All characters on the Platform are entirely AI-generated and fictional. They are not real people.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. We make no guarantees regarding availability, functionality, uptime, accuracy, or the behavior of AI-generated content. AI outputs may be unpredictable, inaccurate, or inappropriate.
AI-generated content is not professional advice. Do not rely on AI-generated content for medical, legal, financial, psychological, or any other professional guidance. Always consult qualified professionals.
3. Account Registration
To use certain features, you must create an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information
- Maintain and update your information
- Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
- Not share your account or credentials with others
- Not create multiple accounts
- Accept responsibility for all activities under your account, whether or not authorized by you
We reserve the right to reject, suspend, or terminate any account at our sole discretion.
4. Credits and Payments
CREDITS ARE DIGITAL TOKENS FOR USE SOLELY WITHIN THE PLATFORM. THEY ARE NOT CURRENCY, HAVE NO CASH VALUE, AND CANNOT BE EXCHANGED FOR CASH EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR CREATOR PAYOUTS.
- Credit pricing, packages, and exchange rates may change at any time
- ALL CREDIT PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, except where required by applicable law
- Credits cannot be transferred between accounts
- Credits may be forfeited upon account termination or Platform discontinuation
- Unused Credits have no expiration unless your account is terminated
- We are not liable for loss of Credits for any reason, including technical issues, fraud, or unauthorized access
Cryptocurrency and Payment Processing: We use third-party payment processors for fiat and cryptocurrency transactions. By making purchases, you agree to the terms of our payment processors. We do not store or have access to your complete payment card information. For cryptocurrency transactions, you acknowledge the inherent volatility and risks of digital assets.
5. Creator Accounts and Earnings
Creators earn Credits through Fan interactions including messages, calls, content sales, tips, and gifts. Revenue share percentages are determined by the Company and may change at any time with notice.
IMPORTANT CREATOR PAYOUT TERMS:
- Payouts are subject to minimum thresholds, review periods, and verification requirements
- The Company may hold, delay, reduce, or cancel payouts for any reason, including suspected fraud, chargebacks, Terms violations, legal compliance, or investigation
- Holds may be indefinite pending resolution of any issues
- Earnings may be forfeited upon Terms violation, account termination, or Platform discontinuation
- Credit-to-currency conversion rates are set by the Company and may differ from Fan purchase rates
- The Company may deduct chargebacks, refunds, and fees from Creator balances
THE COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT CREATORS WILL RECEIVE ANY PAYMENT. You acknowledge and accept the risk of not receiving some or all anticipated earnings.
Creators are independent contractors, not employees. You are solely responsible for all applicable taxes, including income tax, self-employment tax, VAT, and any other taxes in your jurisdiction. You agree to provide accurate tax information upon request.
6. Fan Accounts
Fans use Credits to interact with AI Companions, including messaging, content unlocks, AI-generated images, video calls, and gifts. All transactions are final. Spending Credits grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to view content—not ownership.
All Companions are AI-generated fictional characters. We make no guarantees about any Companion's availability, response quality, personality consistency, or continued presence on the Platform. Companions may be modified or removed without notice.
7. Prohibited Content and Conduct

- Create content depicting real people (celebrities, public figures, private individuals) without authorization
- Create content promoting violence, terrorism, self-harm, or illegal activities
