2. Camera Kit

a. All Lenses for Camera Kit must only be developed using Lens Studio or any other means provided by Snap. Depending on your use case of Camera Kit, additional terms may apply and Snap will communicate such terms to you separately.

b. Without limiting your obligations in the Snap Developer Terms, you will include Snap branding within the Application in the form as required under the Snap Kit Docs or as agreed to in writing between you and Snap.

Prior to a user of the Application accessing Camera Kit, you will ensure that the user has affirmatively agreed to the Snap Terms of Service and acknowledged Snap’s Privacy Policy, including any updates, through either functionality Snap provides or by other means approved by Snap. The foregoing does not apply to internal evaluations of Camera Kit that are closed to users. If you are an agency or are otherwise accessing Camera Kit on behalf or for the benefit of a client or a third party, you must ensure that such client or third party expressly accepts and is bound by these Terms.

d. You are solely responsible for all content you approve or make available via the Business Services, and for all Lenses that you run, including any Lenses made available in the Application, and will ensure that all such content and Lenses comply with the Lens Studio Submission GuidelinesCommunity Guidelines, and all technical requirements Snap makes available, and are appropriate for people ages 13+.

h. You will not integrate any tracking technology into a Lens, such as cookies, pixels, javascript, images, beacons, code, identifiers, or tags, or collect any personal data via Camera Kit relating to a user’s use of the Services except solely to comply with Applicable Law or as necessary to offer Camera Kit or other Services in the Application.

i. You may only make Lenses available to users in the Services and in the Application via Camera Kit.
