Terms of Service
Last updated 2026-07-25
Effective date: These terms take effect when published at boudoircentral.com. Last updated: 25 July 2026
The short version
We want you to actually read this, so here's the whole thing in a paragraph.
- Boudoir Central is for adults. You must be 18 or older to use it. If you buy a paid service, we verify that with a government ID and a selfie before any work starts — and until that check passes, the photos you upload stay sealed: our staff tools don't display them, and every access is logged.
- The free side never requires a photo of you. Guides, the look library, the shoot planner — all usable without uploading anything, and without an account.
- If you do upload photos, they have to be photos of you. Virtual You exists to make images of you. Not a partner, not a celebrity, not a friend. Ever.
- A real human does your paid work. Every order is handled by a digital artist who uses professional tools — many of them AI-assisted, as every modern photo editor is — inside their own workflow. There is no button anywhere on this site that generates images automatically.
- You own your likeness, your photos, and your finished images. We don't take a broad licence to your pictures, because we don't need one.
- Nothing here is explicit. Tasteful boudoir only — no explicit nudity anywhere in the product, in the library, or in what we produce for you.
- You see proofs before you commit. We send low-resolution, watermarked proofs first. Until you approve them and receive the full-resolution files, your order is fully refundable — no deduction, no questions asked.
- We delete by default. 30 days after your order is delivered, unless you tell us to keep it longer. Details in the Privacy Policy.
The rest of this page is the careful version of those same promises.
1. Who we are, and what this agreement covers
Boudoir Central (boudoircentral.com) is operated by Clarovi Technologies, LLC ("Boudoir Central," "we," "us," "our"), a US limited liability company. These Terms are governed by Tennessee law (Section 19). Our services are directed to residents of the United States and the United Kingdom; we do not market to or offer our services in the EU or EEA.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are the agreement between you and us covering the website, your account, our free tools, and every paid service we deliver. Our Privacy Policy is part of this agreement — it explains exactly what happens to your photos and your personal information, and you should read it alongside this.
By creating an account, placing an order, or using the site, you're agreeing to these Terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use Boudoir Central — and if something here worries you, write to us first. We'd genuinely rather answer the question than lose you over it.
2. You have to be an adult
You must be 18 years of age or older to use any part of Boudoir Central. There is no under-18 version of this site, and there is no circumstance in which we will knowingly process a photo of a minor.
By using the site you confirm that you are 18 or older, that everyone appearing in any photo you submit is 18 or older, and that you have the legal capacity to enter this agreement.
For paid services, we go further: we verify your age and identity with a government-issued ID document and a selfie liveness check, and no work starts on your photos until that check has passed — no training, no generation, and no artist opening your order (see Section 8).
If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, or that a submitted photo shows a minor, we will close the account, delete the content, and — where a photo appears to depict the sexual exploitation of a minor — report it to the relevant authorities as the law requires. This is the one place in these Terms where there is no discretion and no appeal.
3. What Boudoir Central offers
The free side
Everything on the free side works without ever uploading a photo. That's deliberate.
- Articles and guides — how to plan, light, style, and shoot boudoir at home.
- The look library — a catalogue of "looks" with instructions for recreating each one with the room and gear you already have.
- A free account — your equipment and space profile, your body profile and comfort boundaries, a shoot planner with checklists, and a guided step-by-step walkthrough built around what you told us.
About the people in the library: the women in our look library are not real people. They are fictional characters we created and rendered with AI, on purpose — so that a library about your body doesn't run on a stock-photo industry's idea of one. See Section 5.
The paid side
- Professional Retouching — you upload your photos and choose what you'd like done: lighting and background correction, plus a level of skin and body work you select yourself. Nothing happens that you didn't ask for.
- Virtual You — professional posed looks in artist-created clothing and settings, produced from a set of guided source photos of you. This requires ID verification and an identity match, because we only ever process photos of you.
- White-label for photographers — the same services delivered under a photographer's own brand at wholesale rates (see Section 13).
Every paid photo order goes through a watermarked proof stage before final delivery, and stays fully refundable until you approve those proofs. See Section 9.
Prices, package contents, delivery targets, and revision allowances are shown at the point of purchase and form part of this agreement. Current packages, prices and turnaround targets are published on our pricing page. Our stated turnaround is typically 2–5 business days, which is a target, not a guarantee — if an order is going to run late we tell you within 48 hours.
4. Your account
You don't need an account to use the free side — browse the guides and the look library, take the quiz, plan a shoot. An account is how you save that work and pick it up later, and it's required for anything we hold on our side: paid orders, messages to our team, and anything involving a photo.
If you do create one: keep your login details to yourself, use a password you don't use elsewhere, and tell us promptly if you think someone else has got in. You're responsible for what happens under your account.
Give us accurate information and keep it current — particularly your email address, because that's how we deliver your images and tell you when something is about to be deleted.
One account per person. Don't share an account, don't sell one, and don't create a new one to get around a suspension.
5. How AI fits in — honestly
We're not going to tell you "we don't use AI." That claim is fashionable and it isn't true of anybody: essentially every modern photo-editing tool has AI somewhere inside it, and has for years. The question worth answering isn't whether AI is in the toolbox. It's what we do and don't do with your likeness and your data. So:
The look library is AI-generated. The women in our template images are fictional characters we invented and rendered with AI. They are not photographs of real women, and no real person's likeness was used to create them. Nothing in that library comes from a customer, and no customer photo has ever contributed to it.
If you order Retouching, we do not train any AI model of you. Your photos are worked on by an artist using professional editing tools. That's it. Nothing about you is learned, stored as a model, or reused.
If you order Virtual You, we do train a private model of you — that's the service. It can't work any other way: to make new images that genuinely look like you, something has to learn what you look like. So we train a small, private model (a "LoRA") using only the photos you submitted. That model:
- is trained solely from your own photos, and nothing else;
- is used only to produce your images, for you;
- is stored encrypted and separately from every other customer's;
- is never pooled with other customers' data, and is never used to train any shared, public, or cross-customer model;
- is a working tool that exists to fill your order, not an asset we build a business on;
- never leaves our control — where a rented GPU has to load it to make your images, it travels there encrypted and exists only in that machine's memory for the length of the job. It is never sold, licensed, published, or handed to anyone else;
- is deleted along with your photos — on our retention schedule, or when you ask, completed and confirmed within 48 hours (see Section 11). If you'd like to order more looks later without redoing the guided photo set, you can choose to keep your model on file instead: that's free and optional, you can still delete your source photos, and a kept model is deleted automatically after 90 days without a login and whenever you close your account.
A human being does the work. There is no customer-facing "generate" button anywhere on this site, in any app, or in any API we offer. Every paid order is picked up, worked, reviewed, and released by a real digital artist, and a human looks at every image before it reaches you. We built it this way on purpose: it keeps quality accountable to a person, and it makes the service useless to anyone hoping to bulk-generate images of people who aren't themselves.
AI-assisted text. Some copy on the site, and the personalised guidance in your shoot walkthrough, is generated with the help of a large language model. It's guidance, not gospel — see Section 15.
6. Only your own photos
This is the rule the whole service is built around, so it gets its own section.
When you submit any photo to Boudoir Central, you promise us all of the following:
- It's you. Every person depicted is you, and only you. If a photo contains anyone else, you must have their clear, informed, written permission — and they must be 18 or older.
- You're allowed to submit it. You either took the photo yourself, or you hold the rights you need to hand it to us and have us work on it.
- Nobody's copyright is in the way. This one catches people out, so plainly: if a professional photographer took the picture, they usually own the copyright in it, even though it's a picture of you. Your consent covers your likeness; it does not convey their copyright. If you want us to work on a professional shot, you need written permission from the photographer. We will decline photos where the rights aren't clear, and we'd rather ask than assume.
- It isn't unlawful or abusive. No images obtained without the subject's consent, no images shared to harass, embarrass, or coerce anyone, and no images that break any law that applies to you.
We may ask you to confirm any of the above, and we may decline an order if the answer isn't clear. Every order is reviewed by a human before work starts, which is also how we catch this.
The permission you give us
Your likeness is yours, and you keep all ownership of your photos and of the finished images we make for you (Section 11). Nothing here transfers copyright to us.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, encrypt, reproduce, adapt, and create derivative works from your submitted photos — solely to deliver the service you ordered, to run quality checks on it, and to provide support. That licence includes training the private, per-customer model described in Section 5.
That licence exists for one purpose and lasts as long as it takes to serve it. It ends when your photos are deleted. It does not let us publish your images, market with them, sell them, share them, or use them to train anything that touches another customer.
If you want your photos used publicly
We may sometimes ask whether you'd be willing to let us show your before/after work as an example. That is always opt-in, always separate, and always revocable — never buried in these Terms and never a condition of buying anything. If you don't opt in, the answer is simply no, and nothing changes about your order.
Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw your permission and have everything deleted at any time, by emailing [email protected] or using the delete control in your account. When you do, we delete your source photos, your finished images, and any per-customer model trained from them. Most of it leaves our live systems straight away, and we complete the deletion and confirm it to you in writing within 48 hours; any copy inside an encrypted backup ages out within 35 days (see the Privacy Policy for the mechanics, including backups).
Two honest caveats. First, if you withdraw mid-order, we may not be able to finish or refund that order — we'll tell you before we act. Second, if you have already downloaded your images, we can't recall copies that have left our systems.
7. What we won't do — content standards
Boudoir Central is a tasteful boudoir service. That word is doing real work here, so let's define it.
We do not produce, host, or accept explicit nudity — anywhere in the product. Not in the library, not in what you upload, not in what we deliver. Lingerie, implied coverage, bare backs and shoulders: yes. Explicit or sexually graphic content: no. This is a fixed product boundary, not a squeamishness about bodies — we are unreservedly body-positive, and none of this is about shame.
You also agree not to submit or request:
- images of anyone under 18, in any context;
- images of anyone other than yourself without their informed written consent;
- images of a public figure, or of anyone whose likeness you are trying to imitate, place, or fake;
- anything intended to deceive, harass, defame, coerce, or sexualise a person without their consent;
- anything that is illegal where you are or where we operate.
If an order crosses these lines we will decline it. Depending on what we find, we may cancel the order, close the account, retain a record for legal reasons, and — where the law requires — report it.
8. ID verification (why we ask)
For any paid service, we verify that you are who you say you are, and that you're over 18, using a government-issued ID document and a selfie liveness check handled by a specialist verification provider, named in our Privacy Policy subprocessor list.
We know this is a big ask on a site about intimate photos, so here's the reasoning: identity verification is the single control that makes "we only process photos of you" true rather than aspirational. It protects you from someone else uploading your pictures far more than it inconveniences you.
When it happens. Verification is a gate on work starting, not on ordering. You can pay and upload your photos straight away — but nothing happens to them until the check has passed. No model is trained, no image is generated, and no artist opens your order. Until it passes, your uploads are sealed: our staff tools do not display them, and every access to them is recorded in an audit log. To be straight with you about what that is — it's a control we operate and record, not a lock we couldn't open. Reference images you send us for inspiration are a separate, staff-visible bucket; the sealed bucket is photos of you. If verification never passes, your order is refunded in full under Section 9.
What we keep is the result of that check and the minimum record we need to prove we did it — not a copy of your ID document, and not the biometric data used to match your selfie, which stays with the verification provider under its own retention rules. We keep that result for the minimum period required to show we complied with age-verification law, and then delete it. The Privacy Policy sets out the detail.
If the automated check fails, or if you'd simply rather a person did it, ask us and a member of our team will review the same documents by hand. You never have to accept an automated decision about who you are.
We may also compare the name on your payment card as a secondary signal. It is never sufficient on its own.
The check costs you nothing extra — it's part of the price of the service, and it stays covered by the refund in Section 9 like everything else.
9. Orders, proofs, payment, and refunds
Payment. Prices are shown at checkout in US dollars unless stated otherwise, and are payable in advance. Payments are handled by our payment processor, Stripe — we never see or store your full card number. You're responsible for any taxes that apply where you live.
Proofs first. When your order is ready, we don't just hand it over and hope. We send you low-resolution, watermarked proofs to review. You look at them properly, in your own time, and tell us what you think.
Your refund right — this is the important part. Until you approve your proofs and receive the full-resolution, unwatermarked images, your order is fully refundable. No deduction, no fee, no questions asked. Ask, and we refund it in full. You don't have to justify it, you don't have to have found a fault, and you don't have to like the reason you give us. If the photos aren't what you hoped for, you shouldn't be paying for them.
We know some of the cost is already spent by then — verification, compute, an artist's afternoon. That's our risk to carry, not yours. You're being asked to trust us with something personal, sight unseen; the least we can do is make walking away free.
Once you've approved the proofs and the final files are delivered, the sale is complete — at that point you have the images, and we can't unsend them. If something is wrong with what you received, tell us anyway and we'll put it right.
Revisions. Proofs are the natural moment to ask for changes, and every package includes one round of revisions, whichever size you bought. Ask — we'd much rather adjust something than have you quietly disappointed, and in practice we're not going to count to one and stop helping you. And if it still isn't right, your order stays fully refundable until you approve the proofs.
Delivery. We deliver finished images to your account and email you when they're ready. Delivery times shown on the site are honest targets, not guarantees — this is bespoke work by a person, not a machine with a queue. If something is going to be late, we'll tell you rather than let you wonder.
A note for UK customers. Because each order is bespoke digital work made to your instructions, statutory "cooling off" rights can work differently once work has begun with your agreement. Our proof-stage refund right above is written to be at least as generous as anything the law would give you, and nothing in these Terms takes away a statutory right you have where you live.
Chargebacks. If something's wrong, please talk to us first — the refund above is easier and faster than your bank. We're a small team and we will make it right.
10. Your photos, your privacy, and how long we keep things
The full detail lives in the Privacy Policy. The commitments that belong in this agreement:
- Your images are encrypted in transit and at rest.
- We never sell or share them.
- They are never used to train shared, public, or cross-customer models. Your Virtual You model is built from your photos alone, used only for you, stored isolated, and deleted with your data — unless you choose to keep it on file for future orders, which is free, optional, and reversible at any time. If you order retouching only, no model of you is trained at all.
- Your photos and finished images are automatically deleted 30 days after delivery by default. You control that: you can extend retention, opt in to a private gallery that keeps them longer, or purge everything on request — completed and confirmed within 48 hours.
- Your data is processed only by us and by a published list of named subprocessors, each bound by contract to act only on our instructions. That list is in the Privacy Policy and we update it with notice.
11. Who owns what
Read this section even if you skip the rest. Most photo services — and nearly every AI photo app — ask you to grant them a broad, perpetual licence to your images, and keep whatever model they build from you. We don't, and we won't.
Your photos are yours. Always were.
Your finished images are yours. On full payment for your order, we assign to you all rights we hold in the finished images — every right, worldwide, for as long as those rights last — and you may use them however you like: print them, gift them, post them, sell them. Where any right can't be assigned in your country, we grant you an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to it instead, which comes to the same thing in practice. We take no ongoing licence, no portfolio right, and no marketing right (unless you separately opt in — see Section 6).
Your likeness is yours. This is the one that matters, and it's the one most AI photo services quietly take from you. Your face, your body, your image: we make no claim on any of it, ever, for any purpose beyond the order you placed.
So what about the Virtual You model? It's a working tool we build to fill your order — nothing more. We don't sell it, license it, share it, publish it, or point it at anyone else, and we don't keep it as a company asset. When your images go, it goes with them: we delete your photos, any model trained from you, and any stored descriptions or metadata derived from you — either on the retention schedule you chose, or whenever you ask us to — completed and confirmed in writing within 48 hours. The one exception is the one you choose: if you ask us to keep your model on file for future orders, we hold it (encrypted and isolated) until you delete it, until you close your account, or until 90 days pass without a login — whichever comes first.
Two narrow carve-outs, so this is honest rather than magic: we keep ownership of our own underlying tools, base models, presets, and workflows (they aren't made from you and weren't part of what you bought), and if an order is unpaid or charged back, the right to use the delivered images is suspended until that's sorted out.
Our stuff is ours. The site, the written guides, the brand, the look library and the fictional characters in it, and all the software behind it belong to Clarovi Technologies, LLC. You may read, use, and follow our guides for your own shoots — that's what they're for. You may not scrape the site, republish our guides or library images, resell access, or use our content or images to train your own AI models.
Feedback. If you send us an idea for improving the service, we may use it without owing you anything. Please still send them.
12. Acceptable use
Don't do things that break the service or endanger other people. Specifically: no scraping or bulk downloading; no attempts to break, probe, or overload our systems; no reverse engineering or extraction of our models; no reselling or white-labelling our services without an agreement (see Section 13); no impersonating anyone; no uploading malware; and no using the service to build a competing dataset or model.
13. Photographers and white-label work
If you're a photographer using our white-label service, extra terms apply and are set out in a separate signed agreement. Nothing on this page is an offer of white-label terms, and no wholesale arrangement exists until that separate agreement is signed — if you're interested, talk to us and we'll put one in front of you. In summary, and non-negotiably:
- You are responsible for obtaining your client's informed, written consent to have their photos processed by an external service, and for their 18+ verification and identity match.
- You warrant you have the rights to the images you send us, including copyright in the photographs themselves.
- With respect to your clients' personal data, you are the controller and we act as your processor, on your documented instructions and under a data processing agreement.
- Our privacy commitments — no sale, no sharing, no shared or cross-customer model training, per-client models, deletion on request — apply to your clients' images exactly as they do to our own customers'.
14. Suspension and termination
You can close your account at any time, from your account settings or by emailing us. Closing your account triggers deletion as described in the Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or close an account if you breach these Terms, if we're required to by law, or if we believe someone is at risk of harm. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to explain or export your images. For a breach of Section 2 or Section 7, removal may be immediate.
We may also stop offering the service, or any part of it. If we do, we'll give you reasonable notice and a window to download anything of yours that we still hold.
15. What we're not promising
Everything below is offered in good faith, and none of it is a guarantee of a particular result.
Our guides, checklists, and personalised walkthroughs are educational content and suggestions, not professional advice — photographic, medical, psychological, or otherwise. Some of that guidance is AI-generated and may occasionally be plain wrong; use your judgement, especially around anything involving your physical safety (lights, cables, ladders, heaters, water, and props all deserve care).
Retouching and Virtual You are creative services, and creative work is subjective. We'll tell you honestly what we can and can't achieve with a given set of source photos, and we'd rather turn an order down than take money for something we can't deliver well.
Except where the law says otherwise, the service is provided "as is" and "as available," and to the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of every defect.
Your statutory rights come first. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, warranty, or right you have that cannot lawfully be excluded — including rights under US federal and state consumer-protection law and, for our UK customers, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Where a disclaimer or limit in these Terms is not permitted where you live, it simply doesn't apply to you, and the rest of these Terms still stands.
16. Limits on our liability
Here's the deal, in one sentence: if we get the work wrong, you get your money back.
To the extent the law allows, our total liability for the service itself — the photos, the editing, the delivery, anything about the quality or timing of what we made for you — is limited to a full refund of what you paid us for the order concerned, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost opportunity.
That cap does not apply to your privacy. If we fail to protect your images — a security breach, a wrongful disclosure, a misuse of your photos or of a model trained from them — the refund cap does not apply, and your remedies are whatever the law gives you. It would be absurd to price a breach of intimate photographs at the cost of one order, so we don't.
None of this excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for our gross negligence or wilful misconduct, for any statutory data-protection compensation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited where you live. If a court finds any part of this section unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest continues to apply.
17. When something's your fault
You agree to cover us for claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these Terms — in particular from submitting photos you had no right to submit, or that depict someone other than you without their consent.
18. Changes to these Terms
We'll update these Terms as the service grows. When we make a material change, we'll email account holders and post the new version with an updated effective date at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless a change has to happen sooner for legal or security reasons. If you don't like a change, you can close your account before it takes effect and we'll delete your data as usual.
19. Legal odds and ends
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
Talk to us first. Before anything formal, email [email protected] and give us 30 days to sort it out. Most things end here, and we'd like yours to.
Binding arbitration. If we can't resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by these Terms), seated in Tennessee or — if you'd rather — conducted remotely or in the federal judicial district where you live. The arbitrator decides the dispute; there is no judge or jury. We pay the AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any consumer claim brought under these Terms, and each of us otherwise pays our own legal costs unless the arbitrator awards them.
Three deliberate softeners, because a boudoir customer shouldn't be worse off than a bank customer:
- Small claims stays open. Either of us may bring a claim that qualifies in small claims court instead of arbitration, and nothing in this section prevents that.
- You can opt out. You may reject this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out changes nothing else about your account or your service.
- Individual claims only. You and we agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may award relief only in favour of the individual party seeking it. This waiver is severable: if it is found unenforceable, or unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, then that claim or remedy is decided in court rather than in arbitration, and the rest of this section — including the agreement to arbitrate every other claim — remains in force.
Consumers in the UK and in some US states keep the right to bring claims locally and to rely on their own consumer-protection law regardless of this section, and nothing here removes that.
Severability. If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
No waiver. If we don't enforce something straight away, we haven't given up the right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You can't transfer this agreement. We may transfer it to a successor if the business is sold or reorganised — and if that happens, your privacy rights and retention settings travel with your data.
Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any package terms shown at checkout are the whole agreement between us on this subject.
