4. IMAGE SAFETY, CONTENT STANDARDS & MINOR PROTECTIONS

Stylofuze prioritises the digital safety, privacy, and integrity of its platform. This section sets out the standards governing user-submitted content, data handling, and the protection of minors.

  • 4.1 Age Restrictions on Sales and Accounts: Stylofuze is intended for use by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age. Individuals under the age of 18 may only access or use the platform with the supervision and involvement of a parent or legal guardian. Where applicable, account creation, purchases, and the submission of project materials must be completed by a parent or legal guardian.

  • 4.2 Child Online Privacy Protections: In accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), guidance issued by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), and other applicable privacy laws, Stylofuze does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18 without appropriate consent. If Stylofuze becomes aware that such information has been collected without the required consent, it will take reasonable steps to restrict access to or delete that information in accordance with applicable legal obligations and record retention requirements.

  • 4.3 Image Safety and Protection of Minors: Stylofuze does not accept, process, or knowingly handle user-submitted content depicting minors in unlawful, exploitative, or otherwise unsafe circumstances. If such material is identified, Stylofuze may immediately suspend or terminate the relevant project, remove associated files from its active systems in accordance with its security and compliance procedures, and, where required or permitted by applicable law, report the matter to the appropriate authorities. Any financial treatment of the affected project, including the retention of deposits or fees, will be determined in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.

  • 4.4 Content Categorisation (Acceptable and Prohibited Material): To maintain a safe, lawful, and consistent service, Stylofuze distinguishes between acceptable artistic content and prohibited material. These standards apply equally to photographs, digital artwork, AI-generated imagery, composite images, and all other visual media submitted to Stylofuze.

    • (a) Acceptable Content (Subject to Review): Stylofuze may accept the following categories of material, provided that all submissions and subsequent acceptance remain strictly subject to review and compliance with all applicable laws and these Terms:

      • (i) fine-art photography;

      • (ii) artistic nudity;

      • (iii) boudoir photography;

      • (iv) fashion, editorial, or commercial imagery containing non-explicit nudity; and

      • (v) other lawful artistic or commercial imagery that complies with these Terms.​

    • (b) Prohibited Content: Stylofuze will not process content that:

      • (i) depicts pornography or sexually explicit material intended primarily for sexual arousal;

      • (ii) contains non-consensual intimate imagery;

      • (iii) depicts or promotes child exploitation or abuse;

      • (iv) contains unlawful, violent, hateful, threatening, discriminatory, or abusive material;

      • (v) promotes or facilitates criminal activity;

      • (vi) infringes the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights of any person; or

      • (vii) otherwise violates applicable law or these Terms.

  • 4.5 User Representations and Warranties: By submitting any images to Stylofuze, including, without limitation, images containing artistic nudity or intimate photography permitted under clause 4.4(a), the user represents and warrants that:

    • (a) where the submitted content contains nudity or intimate imagery, all identifiable individuals depicted are adults (18 years of age or older);

    • (b) the user possesses all necessary rights, licences, permissions, and consents required to submit the images to Stylofuze for processing;

    • (c) where required by law, the user has obtained the consent of any identifiable individuals depicted in the submitted material;

    • (d) the submitted content complies with all applicable local, national, and international laws; and

    • (e) the submission does not infringe the rights of any third party.

  • 4.6 Right to Refuse or Remove Content: Stylofuze reserves the right to refuse, suspend, remove, or cease processing any submission that it reasonably considers to be explicit, exploitative, unlawful, harmful, misleading, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms, its internal policies, or the safe operation of the platform. Such decisions may be made before, during, or after commencement of a project. Stylofuze is not obliged to process any submission merely because it appears to comply with these Terms.

  • 4.7 Content Review Appeals: If you believe your submission has been incorrectly flagged or rejected under these content standards, you may request a manual review by contacting Stylofuze at support@stylofuze.com.au. Please include your order number together with a brief explanation of why you believe the decision should be reconsidered. Stylofuze will review the request in good faith as soon as reasonably practicable. Stylofuze is under no obligation to disclose its internal moderation procedures, security systems, or detailed reasons for its determination. Following manual review, Stylofuze's decision will be final.

  • 4.8 Parental Requests and Minor Information: If a parent or legal guardian believes that a minor has submitted personal information or uploaded content without appropriate consent, they may contact Stylofuze through its official support channels. Stylofuze will take reasonable steps to investigate the request and, where appropriate, restrict access to or delete the relevant information in accordance with applicable privacy legislation and its data retention policies.
