- Synthesia's Customer Terms of Service, in the section on Responsibilities To, and For, Authorized Users, require that when a customer authorizes the creation or use of a Custom Avatar using an individual's voice or likeness, that individual must be over the applicable statutory legal age and must have provided free and informed consent.

- Distinct from elevenlabs-voice-clone-policy by pairing an explicit legal-age gate with an informed-consent standard covering both voice and likeness together, rather than ElevenLabs' account-verification mechanism scoped to voice cloning only.
- notes
- Same clause also requires the individual be 'over the applicable statutory legal age.' Synthesia's separate Acceptable Use Policy (synthesia.io/legal/acceptable-use-policy) carries a thinner, older line permitting Custom Avatar impersonation-adjacent uses 'only with appropriate consent from the individual,' last updated February 23, 2024; that page's date is confirmed but the Customer Terms of Service page carries no visible last-updated date. Not confirmed as a change within the 2026-07-27 to 2026-08-05 window. Included as backfill given the catalogue currently tracks only one provider-policy entry.
