Acceptable use policy

Last updated October 14, 2026

Clapping Cat AI turns a photo of your own cat or dog into a short clapping video. These rules apply to every photo you upload and every video you create, and are part of our terms of service.

Prohibited content

You may not upload photos for, or use generated videos to create or share:

1. Sexual or NSFW content: nudity, sexual acts, sexually suggestive content or fetish content.
2. Violence or gore: graphic injury, blood, animal cruelty, or content that promotes violence or self-harm.
3. Hate speech: content that attacks or demeans people based on race, ethnicity, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, disability or similar traits, including hateful symbols.
4. Child safety: any photo of a child, and anything that sexualises, exploits or endangers children. We report child sexual abuse material to the relevant authorities.
5. Deepfakes and impersonation: photos of any person, including public figures and celebrities, and videos presented as real footage or used to deceive, harass, defame or commit fraud.
6. Copyright and trademark infringement: photos you don't have the rights to, and adding protected logos, characters, songs or clips owned by others.

How we keep the service safe

• There is one fixed template written by us. You can't type your own prompt, so the service can only make the clapping pet video shown on the site.
• Only pet photos are accepted. You must confirm the photo is of your own cat or dog before paying, and we record when you confirmed it.
• Uploads must be real JPG, PNG or WebP photos. Before a video is generated, every photo goes through our AI provider's automatic content-safety check, and the AI video model (ByteDance Seedance 2.0) applies its own safety filters to every generation.
• We review every report and remove content that breaks these rules.
• Every video is labelled as AI-generated on the site, and we ask you to use the AI-generated label when you post it.
• Uploaded photos are deleted automatically: after 2 days if you don't buy, after 30 days otherwise.

What happens if you break these rules

We block the generation or cancel the order, delete the photo and any videos, and may refuse further orders from you. Serious violations, including anything involving children, are reported to law enforcement.
