1. No unauthorized identity use
No user, creator, admin, or platform operator may publish an AI mentor using a real YouTuber's, CEO's, influencer's, celebrity's, public figure's, coach's, expert's, creator's, or brand's name, photo, voice, face, likeness, channel content, logo, videos, scripts, podcasts, course content, or identity — unless that person or brand has officially joined TubeMentor AI, verified ownership, and accepted the Creator Agreement.
2. US right of publicity
Most US states (including California Civil Code § 3344, New York Civil Rights Law §§ 50–51, Tennessee's ELVIS Act, Florida § 540.08, and Illinois 765 ILCS 1075) protect a person's name, image, likeness, and voice from unauthorized commercial use — including AI clones. TubeMentor AI enforces these rights globally on the platform, regardless of where the impersonator is located.
3. Deepfakes and voice clones
Synthetic voice and face generation is permitted only for the creator's own identity, with explicit opt-in consent and a stored voice/image-rights release. We watermark or label synthetic media where feasible and disclose its synthetic nature in-product.
4. Required disclaimers
On every mentor profile: “This AI mentor is trained on creator-approved content. It is not the creator speaking live. Answers may be incomplete or imperfect and may not represent the creator's current personal views.”
Inside the chat: “You are chatting with an AI mentor trained on approved creator content, not the real creator in real time.”
5. No real-person examples in demo data
We never seed demo or marketing data with real celebrity, influencer, CEO, or YouTuber names. Sample mentors are fictional only (e.g., Alex Carter, Maya Singh, Daniel Brooks, Sara Kim, Ryan Patel).
6. Enforcement
Violations result in immediate removal, account termination, payout forfeiture, and — where appropriate — referral to law enforcement or the affected rights-holder. Repeat or willful violations may trigger civil liability under state right-of-publicity and federal Lanham Act § 43(a) (false endorsement) claims.
7. Reporting impersonation or unauthorized use
Email tubementorsupport@gmail.com with subject “Identity / Impersonation Report.” Include the mentor URL, your full legal name, a description of the unauthorized use, proof of identity (or authority to act on behalf of the rights-holder), and a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate. We act within 1–3 business days; urgent celebrity or executive impersonation is reviewed same-day.
