Enforcement

Enforcement of this Policy is at ElevenLabs’ discretion, and failure to enforce this Policy in every instance does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in other instances. This Policy does not create any right or private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation that the Services will not contain any content that is prohibited by this Policy or that objectionable material will be promptly removed after it has been posted.

We use a combination of automated systems, user reports, and human review to assess content that may violate this Prohibited Use Policy. For users who violate this Prohibited Use Policy, we may remove the violating content and/or suspend access to the service. For certain content that poses a real-world risk of harm, we reserve the right to contact or cooperate with relevant law enforcement authorities.
