1. Nature of Service

Echoshot AI is a research-based multi-shot portrait video generation framework built upon video diffusion transformer architecture. The system uses shot-aware position embedding mechanisms to generate multiple video shots featuring the same person with identity consistency and content controllability. This technology is provided for academic research and educational purposes.

2. Research Software Limitations

Echoshot AI is experimental research software with inherent limitations. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, quality, identity consistency, or appropriateness of generated video content. The output depends on input quality, system configuration, available computational resources, and the inherent limitations of current video generation technology.

3. User Responsibility and Content Generation

Users are solely responsible for the content they generate using Echoshot AI and how they use such content. This includes ensuring that input materials (text prompts, reference images) are legally obtained and that generated content complies with applicable laws and ethical standards. Users must clearly identify AI-generated content when sharing or publishing.

4. Technical Requirements and System Dependencies

Echoshot AI requires specific hardware configurations, including CUDA-compatible GPUs, substantial computational resources, and proper software dependencies. The system relies on third-party models including Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B and may have compatibility issues with certain hardware or software configurations. Users are responsible for meeting these technical requirements.

5. Intellectual Property and Model Rights

a. Users retain rights to specific video content they generate, provided their input materials do not infringe existing rights.
b. Echoshot AI framework, algorithms, and models remain the intellectual property of the research team and affiliated institutions.
c. Generated content may be subject to licensing terms of underlying models and training data.
d. Users must have legal rights to any input materials used in the generation process.

6. Identity and Privacy Considerations

Generating portrait videos raises important considerations about identity, privacy, and consent. Users must ensure they have appropriate rights and permissions before generating videos featuring recognizable individuals. The technology should not be used to create misleading content, deepfakes without disclosure, or content that violates privacy rights.

7. Research and Academic Context

Echoshot AI is developed within an academic research context to advance understanding of multi-shot video generation. The technology is intended for research, educational, and experimental purposes. Commercial applications require separate consideration of licensing, liability, and regulatory compliance.

8. Computational Resource Usage

Video generation using Echoshot AI is computationally intensive and may consume significant system resources, electricity, and processing time. Users are responsible for managing their computational resources and understanding the environmental impact of large-scale video generation tasks.

9. Quality and Performance Variability

The quality and performance of generated videos may vary significantly based on input complexity, system configuration, model parameters, and other factors. Identity consistency and attribute controllability, while advanced, are not perfect and may produce unexpected results in certain scenarios.

10. Limitation of Liability

The Echoshot AI research team, affiliated institutions, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages resulting from the use or inability to use the software, including but not limited to damages from loss of data, computational resources, or legal consequences arising from content generation.

11. Experimental Nature and Updates

Echoshot AI is experimental software that may be updated, modified, or discontinued without notice. Users should not rely on the continued availability of specific features or capabilities. Updates may change system behavior, requirements, or output characteristics.

12. Ethical Use and Professional Standards

Users are expected to adhere to appropriate ethical standards when using Echoshot AI. This includes respecting individuals' rights, avoiding harmful applications, contributing positively to research communities, and following professional guidelines relevant to their field of work or study.

13. No Professional or Medical Advice

Generated video content should never be construed as professional advice of any kind. The technology is purely for research and creative applications and should not be used as a substitute for professional consultation in any domain.

14. Data Usage and Privacy

By using Echoshot AI, users acknowledge that anonymized usage data may be collected for research purposes to improve video generation technology. This contributes to advancing the field of computer vision and benefits the broader research community.

15. Agreement and Acknowledgment

By using Echoshot AI, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this disclaimer. You understand the experimental nature of the technology and accept responsibility for its appropriate use within legal and ethical boundaries.
