2. Terms of sale

1 — Service

Ninth Salon transforms images: you upload a photograph and receive an automatically generated painterly reinterpretation of it. The service is sold as prepaid credits, each credit entitling you to one generation.

2 — Prices

Prices are shown inclusive of all taxes, in euros or US dollars depending on the language of the site. The price that applies is the one displayed at the time of order. Prices may change at any time, with no effect on orders already placed.

3 — Payment

Payment is processed by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. Ninth Salon never receives your card details: they are sent directly to Stripe and never pass through our servers.

4 — Delivery

Credits are added to your account immediately after payment is confirmed. Generated artworks appear in your gallery as soon as processing completes.

5 — Right of withdrawal

Under Article L221-28 13° of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to digital content not supplied on a tangible medium where performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent and express acknowledgment that the right of withdrawal is thereby lost.

By ticking the box provided before payment, you expressly request immediate delivery of your digital content and waive your fourteen-day right of withdrawal from the moment your credits are used.

Unused credits remain refundable for fourteen days from purchase, on request to contact@ninthsalon.com.

6 — Credits

  • Credits are personal and non-transferable.
  • They do not expire.
  • A credit spent on a completed generation is not refundable.
  • If a generation fails for technical reasons, the credit is automatically returned.

7 — Uploaded content

You warrant that you hold the necessary rights to the photographs you upload, and undertake not to submit images depicting other people without their consent, nor any unlawful content. Uploads are screened automatically before processing, and non-compliant images are rejected without consuming a credit.

8 — Ownership of artworks

You retain all rights to your original photograph and may use the generated artwork freely, including commercially. Ninth Salon claims no rights over the artworks produced and will not use them for promotional purposes without your prior written agreement.

9 — Liability

The service relies on generative models whose output is inherently variable. Ninth Salon does not guarantee any particular aesthetic result or exact likeness. Our liability is in all cases limited to the amount you actually paid.

10 — Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law. Consumers in the European Union may refer a dispute free of charge to the consumer mediator: [mediator name and contact], or use the European online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

3. Privacy policy

What we collect

  • Account: email address and name from your Google account.
  • Uploaded photographs, for the duration of processing.
  • Generated artworks, kept in your gallery.
  • Transactions: amount, currency, date. No card data.

Why, and on what legal basis

This data is processed to perform the contract: providing the service, managing credits and issuing invoices. Nothing is sold or used for advertising.

Processors

The photograph you upload is sent to OpenAI (United States) to generate the artwork. This transfer outside the European Union is covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. We also use Google Ireland (authentication and database), Stripe (payments) and Hostinger (file hosting).

How long we keep it

  • Original photograph: deleted immediately after processing.
  • Locked artworks belonging to users who never purchased: 90 days.
  • Unlocked artworks: kept while the account remains active.
  • Accounting records: ten years, as required by law.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, erase and port your data, and to object to its processing. Write to contact@ninthsalon.com and we will reply within thirty days. You may also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL.

Cookies

This site uses no advertising or analytics cookies. Only the identifiers strictly necessary to keep you signed in are stored, which are exempt from prior consent.
