# Content rules

> What this API won't make, and what happens when a request asks for it.

Source: https://docs.nocamclub.com/rules

## What we don't make

- **Sexual content.** Nudity, sexual acts, fetish content, or removing someone's clothes.
- **Anything sexualising a minor.** A person who looks under 18 in any sexual, romantic or revealing context. Never, in any form.
- **Real people without their consent.** Use photos of yourself, or of people who agreed to it.
- **Public figures made to say or do something.** Named celebrities and politicians.
- **Gore and graphic injury.**
- **Hatred against a protected group.**
- **Fake IDs, documents or money.**

Ordinary portraits, fashion, jokes and flirting without nudity are fine. A photo of a person is fine by itself.

## What happens

Every request is checked three times:

1. **At the door.** A short list of words that are never legitimate here answers at once with [`input_refused`](https://docs.nocamclub.com/errors/input_refused.md). You're charged nothing.
2. **By our check.** A model looks at the prompt and the photos before any work starts. A refusal ends the generation with [`content_refused`](https://docs.nocamclub.com/errors/content_refused.md), and the credits come back.
3. **By the model.** Models have rules of their own, and some refuse more than we do, including photos they take for real people. That also ends in `content_refused` or `input_refused`, with the credits back.

Refusals count. **Twenty refused requests within 24 hours pause the account**, and every call then answers [`account_suspended`](https://docs.nocamclub.com/errors/account_suspended.md).

## If you're an agent

Tell the person what was refused. Don't reword a request to get past the rules: a refused idea stays refused, and each try counts toward the pause.

## What you're responsible for

You need the right to use every file you send. When your own customers use your product, pass a pseudonym in `end_user` (never an email), so that one misbehaving customer can be told apart from the rest.
