3. Eligibility and age
You must be at least 13 years old, or the higher minimum age that applies where you live, to use the Service. The Service is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly allow anyone under that age to use it or to provide us with personal information. If you are under 13, do not use the Service. If you believe a person under 13 has used the Service in a way that involves their personal information, contact us at support@imagespeckit.com and we will delete what we hold.
If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
4. What the Service does
imagespeckit.com is a set of image specification and batch-processing tools. Depending on the tool, the Service can:
- compress images and reduce file size;
- convert between image formats (including formats such as HEIC, AVIF and RAW);
- crop and resize images to passport, ID and visa photo specifications;
- prepare images to the size and format requirements of e-commerce marketplaces and social platforms;
- rename files in bulk;
- remove backgrounds from product images;
- add watermarks.
Availability of tools. Not every tool described above is live yet, and we add tools over time. What is available to you at any moment is what the Service actually offers on the site at that moment; this section describes the scope of the Service, not a promise that a particular tool exists today. The same applies to the Developer API and to Paid Services generally (see section 5).
How processing happens.
- The free browser tools for image compression and format conversion run entirely inside your browser, using WebAssembly and JavaScript modules that run on your own device, with the open-source encoders listed in section 10. The image file itself is processed on your own device and is not uploaded to our servers.
- If in-browser processing fails, we do not silently fall back to uploading your file. No image file leaves your device unless you explicitly choose a server-side option or use the Developer API.
- Where a tool needs server-side processing to work at all, the tool says so on its own page before you use it, and using it is your choice. We will not quietly move a tool from your device to our servers.
- "Not uploaded" refers to your image files. Using any website involves ordinary network traffic — your browser requests pages, program files and fonts from our hosting provider, which necessarily involves your IP address. Our Privacy Policy explains what that traffic involves.
Server-side processing. Server-side processing happens only (a) when you explicitly choose a server-side option, or (b) through the paid Developer API. Neither is available today: the server-side processing service is not live, and it will launch together with the Developer API. When it does, we will process the file in order to return a result to you, and the following applies:
The files you upload are processed in memory only and are never written to disk or stored. The result files we return are retained for at most one hour so that you can download them, and are then deleted automatically. Neither is backed up or archived.
We are a processing tool, not a storage, hosting or backup service: we do not keep your files for you, and you must keep your own copies of anything you care about.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data.
Not legal or official advice. Our ID, visa and marketplace presets are built to publicly available specifications and are provided for convenience only. Requirements change, and the accepting authority or platform has the final say. We do not guarantee that any output will be accepted by any government body, embassy, marketplace or other third party, and you remain responsible for checking the applicable requirements.
5. Accounts
Parts of the Service can be used without an account. Where we make accounts available, you agree to provide accurate information, to keep your credentials confidential, and to be responsible for activity that takes place under your account. Tell us promptly at support@imagespeckit.com if you believe your account has been compromised.
Accounts, Paid Services and the Developer API described in these Terms are not yet available. Sections that refer to them take effect when we launch them, and nothing in these Terms states or implies that any of them is live today.
6. Free tier, paid plans and usage limits
6.1 Free Service
The Free Service can be used without an account. It is offered subject to fair-use limits on batch and file size: up to 20 images per batch and up to 5 MB per image. These limits are shown in the drop area before you select or drop a file, so you know them before you start rather than after.
We may also apply reasonable limits on how often a tool may be used, as described in section 6.3.
6.2 Paid Services
Paid Services and their prices are described on our pricing page at https://imagespeckit.com/pricing, which is linked from the main navigation of every page. We deliberately do not repeat prices here, so that a price change never makes this document wrong. The line-up is:
- Pro subscription (monthly or annual) — ongoing access to the paid tool set and to the higher batch, file-size and usage allowances shown on the pricing page, billed monthly or annually as you choose. The annual option is billed once for a 12-month period at a lower effective rate.
- 7-day pass — a single payment giving the same full access as Pro for seven days, with no subscription and no automatic renewal.
- Credit packs — a single payment for a quantity of credits, used for features that carry a per-file processing cost. Credits are spent as you use those features. Pack sizes and what a credit covers are shown on the pricing page.
- Developer API (coming soon) — usage-based programmatic access, billed on consumption. It is not yet available; see section 6.4.
What each of these includes is set out on the pricing page as it stands at the time of your purchase. Refund windows for each of them are set out in the Refund Policy, which uses the same names for the same products.
6.3 Changes to features, limits and prices
We may change the features, limits or prices of the Service. If a change materially reduces what Paid Services you have already bought provide, or increases their price, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email (if we hold your email address) and by a notice on the Service, and you may cancel before the change takes effect. Changes to the Free Service may be made with notice on the Service.
We may impose reasonable technical limits — for example rate limits — to protect the availability of the Service for everyone.
6.4 Developer API
The Developer API is not yet available. Requests to our /api/* endpoints currently return a "coming soon" response rather than processing anything. The following applies once we make the Developer API available to you:
- We issue you one or more API keys. The keys are confidential; you must not publish or share them. You are responsible for all calls made with your keys until you tell us at support@imagespeckit.com that a key is compromised and we revoke it.
- Calls are subject to the rate and volume limits stated on the pricing page and in the API documentation. We may throttle or reject calls that exceed them.
- We may change the API, but we will give at least 90 days' notice before removing a documented endpoint or making a breaking change to one, and we will publish a migration note.
- We may suspend a key immediately where it is being used in breach of section 8, where a key is compromised, or where its use threatens the stability of the Service. We will tell you why, and restore access once the cause is resolved.
- You must not use the Developer API to circumvent the limits of a lower-priced plan.
6.5 Beta features
We may label a tool as beta, preview or experimental. Such a tool is provided for evaluation, may change or be withdrawn at any time, and is excluded from any availability commitment. If you are a Consumer, your mandatory rights still apply to anything you paid for.
7. Orders, payment and tax — Paddle will be our merchant of record
Please read this section carefully, because it determines who you are contracting with when you pay.
Not live yet. Paid Services are not yet available for purchase, and our Paddle account is still subject to Paddle's own onboarding and review. Nothing in these Terms claims that any particular payment method, plan or checkout is live before we make it available on the Service. This section describes how purchases will work once we launch them.
We will supply the Service. Paddle will sell it. Our orders and payments will be handled by Paddle. When you buy Paid Services:
- Paddle is the merchant and seller of record. The contract of sale for that purchase is concluded between you and Paddle, not between you and us. Paddle is the authorised reseller of the Paid Services.
- Paddle handles the transaction. Paddle takes the payment, issues the invoice or receipt, and calculates, collects and remits any VAT, GST or sales tax due in your jurisdiction.
- We are the supplier of the underlying service. We provide the Service itself, its functionality, support and availability, on the terms of this document.
- Paddle's own terms also apply. Any purchase is additionally governed by Paddle's buyer terms and related policies, published at paddle.com. If Paddle's buyer terms conflict with these Terms in relation to the sale transaction itself — payment, invoicing, tax, chargebacks and the processing of refunds — Paddle's terms govern that transaction. These Terms continue to govern your use of the Service.
- Prices and currency. Prices are shown on our pricing page and at checkout. The final amount payable, including tax, is the amount shown by Paddle at checkout. Paddle may present prices in your local currency; your bank or card issuer may apply its own conversion or fees.
- Payment data. We do not receive or store your full card or bank details. Paddle processes payment data as described in its own privacy notice.
7.7 Right of withdrawal (Consumers in the EU, the EEA, the UK and comparable jurisdictions)
If you are a Consumer, you have 14 days from the conclusion of the contract to withdraw from a purchase, without giving a reason. Whether and when you lose that right depends on what you bought, and the distinction matters:
- Digital services — a Pro subscription, a 7-day pass or Developer API access. Under Article 16(a) of Directive 2011/83/EU (and regulation 36 of the UK Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013), you lose the withdrawal right for a digital service only once the service has been fully performed, and only where performance began at your express request and you acknowledged that you would lose the right once it was fully performed. A subscription, a pass or API access that is still running has not been fully performed, so your 14-day right survives. If you withdraw while it is running, you pay only a proportionate amount for what was actually supplied up to the moment you told us.
- Digital content supplied without a tangible medium. Where what you bought counts as digital content rather than a digital service, Article 16(m) of the Directive (and regulation 37(1) of the UK Regulations) applies instead, and the withdrawal right is lost only where you gave express prior consent to performance beginning during the withdrawal period, and acknowledged that you would thereby lose the right, and we (through Paddle) confirmed that agreement on a durable medium.
Where the checkout asks you to confirm those things before your payment is taken, that confirmation is what the law requires, and Paddle's receipt serves as the record. If you were not asked for that consent, or you did not give it, your 14-day withdrawal right remains fully intact.
Because Paddle is the merchant of record, Paddle handles withdrawal requests, and you may also send one to us at support@imagespeckit.com. Our Refund Policy sets out in full when the right is lost, how to exercise it, how the proportionate amount is calculated, and the reimbursement deadline; it also contains a model withdrawal form you may use but do not have to. Nothing in these Terms or in our Refund Policy removes a statutory right of withdrawal you have.
7.8 Automatic renewal and cancellation
If a plan renews automatically, the checkout page and your receipt state the renewal period, the renewal price and the date of the next charge, and Paddle sends you a renewal reminder where the law requires one. The 7-day pass and credit packs are single payments and do not renew. You may cancel a subscription at any time, and cancelling is at least as easy as subscribing: use the cancellation link in any Paddle receipt or subscription email, use the cancellation control in your account once accounts are available, or email support@imagespeckit.com and we will cancel for you. Cancellation stops future renewals; your plan continues until the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not require you to telephone us, or to sit through a retention offer, in order to cancel.
7.9 Refunds
Refunds and cancellation are covered by our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Refunds are executed by Paddle because Paddle took the payment. We never state or imply that sales are final or non-refundable.
8. Acceptable use
You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You are responsible for Your Content and for having the rights necessary to process it.
You must not:
- upload, process or distribute content that infringes anyone's copyright, trade mark, design right, database right, image rights, privacy rights or other intellectual property or personal rights;
- use the Service to circumvent, remove or defeat technical protection measures, digital rights management (DRM), watermarks placed by a rights holder, paywalls, access controls or licensing restrictions, or to process material you obtained by doing so;
- process content that is unlawful where you are or where we operate, including child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate imagery, content that incites violence or terrorism, or content that infringes applicable sanctions or export-control rules;
- process images of other people in breach of the data-protection or publicity laws that apply to you;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, its systems or another user's data; probe, scan or test the vulnerability of our systems except under a written agreement with us;
- interfere with the Service, including by overloading it, by automated scraping beyond what our published API and rate limits allow, or by circumventing usage limits, authentication or billing;
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the Service except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
- resell, sublicense or redistribute the Service as your own product, except through an integration expressly permitted by a licence we grant you in writing;
- use the Service to build or train a competing product, or to develop, train, fine-tune or evaluate any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence model using the Service's outputs. We expressly reserve our rights under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 in respect of the Service and its outputs;
- misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or organisation, or use the Service in a way that could reasonably mislead others about the authenticity of an image where authenticity matters (for example in an official identity, insurance, evidentiary or journalistic context).
Sanctions. You confirm that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, a country or territory subject to comprehensive trade sanctions applicable to us, and that you are not a person or entity designated on an applicable sanctions list. You must not make the Service available to any such person.
We may investigate suspected breaches and take the measures described in section 20.
9. Your Content and your rights
You keep everything. You retain all rights, title and interest in Your Content. We claim no ownership of Your Content whatsoever.
We do not train models on your content. We do not use Your Content — your images, your files or their outputs — to train, fine-tune or evaluate any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence model, whether our own or a third party's, and we do not sell or licence Your Content to anyone for that purpose or any other.
The limited permission we need. Where the Service processes a file on our servers (that is, where you explicitly choose a server-side option, or where you use the Developer API), you grant us a narrow, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to receive that file, hold it only for as long as the operation and the delivery of its result require, and to copy, transmit and modify it solely to the extent technically necessary to perform the operation you asked for and return the result to you. The file you upload is processed in memory only and is never written to disk or stored; the result file we return is retained for at most one hour so that you can download it, and is then deleted. That licence ends when the operation completes and the result file is deleted. It covers nothing else. No licence at all is needed — or granted — for images processed entirely in your browser, because those never reach us.
Your responsibility. You confirm that you own Your Content or have all the rights and permissions needed to process it through the Service, and that processing it will not breach any law or any third party's rights.
10. Our intellectual property
The Service itself — the website, its interface, its presets and specification data, its text, graphics and the software we wrote — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose, in accordance with these Terms. Where you have paid for the Service, we may revoke that licence only in accordance with section 20.
The Service incorporates third-party open-source components (including, among others, mozjpeg, libwebp, libaom, oxipng, UPNG.js and sharp). Those components remain subject to their own licences, which prevail over these Terms in respect of those components.
Any feedback or suggestion you send us may be used by us without restriction or obligation to you. Feedback is not confidential, and you should not include confidential information in it.
11. Output files
Subject to the rights of any third party in the source material, we make no ownership claim over the files the Service produces from Your Content. As between you and us, output produced from Your Content belongs to you.
12. Reporting illegal content or infringement (voluntary notice and action)
We operate a voluntary notice-and-action mechanism for reports of illegal or infringing content. Its structure is modelled on Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (the Digital Services Act) because that is a sensible template, not because we assert that the Regulation obliges us to run one.
We operate this mechanism voluntarily and without prejudice to whether the Service constitutes a hosting service within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065.
Anyone — you do not need an account, and you do not need to be in the EU — may notify us of content they consider illegal or infringing.
12.1 How to submit a notice
Send an email to abuse@imagespeckit.com with the subject line "Notice — illegal content" or "Notice — copyright". To let us act, your notice should include:
- a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why you consider the content illegal or infringing;
- a clear indication of the exact electronic location of the content — for example the precise URL or, where the content reached you through a link generated by the Service, that link, together with any further information needed to identify it;
- your name and email address, unless the notice concerns child sexual abuse material, where you may remain anonymous;
- a statement confirming your good-faith belief that the information in the notice is accurate and complete;
- for a copyright or trade mark claim, a description of the work or mark, and a statement that you are the rights holder or are authorised to act on their behalf.
We treat a notice containing items 1 to 4 as putting us on notice of the content concerned, and we act on it as described below.
12.2 What we do with a notice
- We send an acknowledgement of receipt to the email address you gave us, without undue delay and normally within 5 business days.
- We assess the notice in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner. We do not currently use automated means to decide notices; a person reviews each one. If we introduce automated processing, we will say so in our decision.
- We notify you of our decision and the reasons for it, including the redress options available, and we tell you if automated means were used.
- If the notice concerns content that is present on our systems, we may remove or disable access to it, restrict or suspend the account or access involved, or decline to act where the notice is unsubstantiated. Because the free tools process images inside your browser, and because a file sent to our servers is processed in memory only and never stored — with only the result file retained, for at most one hour — in many cases there will be no stored copy for us to act on; where that is so, we will say so and, where appropriate, take account-level measures instead.
- Repeat infringers. We may suspend, for a reasonable period and after prior warning, the provision of the Service to users who frequently provide manifestly illegal content, and the handling of notices from persons who frequently submit manifestly unfounded notices or complaints.
- Abuse of the mechanism. Submitting a notice you know to be materially false may expose you to liability. Please do not use this channel for complaints that are not about illegal or infringing content — use support@imagespeckit.com for those.
12.3 Counter-notice and redress
If we act against your content or your account, we will tell you and give the reasons. You may contest the decision by replying to abuse@imagespeckit.com within 6 months of being notified, explaining why you consider the decision wrong and providing any supporting evidence. We will review your complaint in the same timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective way, reverse our decision where it was wrong, and tell you the outcome.
These internal steps do not limit your other options. You remain free to use any out-of-court dispute settlement body available to you under the law that applies to you, or to bring court proceedings. An out-of-court body's decision is not binding on either of us.
12.4 Copyright notices from the United States
Notices under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act may be sent to the same address, abuse@imagespeckit.com, and should include the elements listed in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). We handle them through the process in this section. We do not claim to have registered a DMCA designated agent with the US Copyright Office.
12.5 Point of contact
abuse@imagespeckit.com is our single electronic point of contact for reports under this section, from users and from authorities alike. Communications in English or Chinese are accepted. We have not appointed a legal representative in the European Union for the purposes of the Digital Services Act, and we do not claim the status that such an appointment would go with; see the opening of this section.
13. Privacy
How we handle personal data — including the legal bases on which we process it, international transfers, retention and your rights — is set out in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. In short:
- the free browser tools process your images on your own device, and the image files are not uploaded to us — except where you explicitly choose a server-side option or use the Developer API, in which case the files you upload will be processed in memory only and never written to disk or stored, and the result files we return will be deleted from our servers within one hour of processing; neither is backed up or archived;
- we run no advertising, no third-party analytics scripts and no tracking cookies. The only browser storage we set ourselves is a
localStorageentry that remembers your language preference, which is why the Service does not show a cookie consent banner. Where Cloudflare's protection features are active, Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary security cookie (for example a bot-management cookie) to tell automated traffic from human visitors; that is a security measure, not tracking, and it is not used for advertising or analytics. If we later introduce analytics, advertising or any other non-essential storage, we will update the Privacy Policy first and obtain your consent where the law requires it; - we do not use your content to train, fine-tune or evaluate any model.
Our representatives under Article 27 of the GDPR and under the UK GDPR have not yet been appointed; the current status is stated in the Privacy Policy and we will update it there as soon as an appointment is in place.
13.1 Business customers and data protection roles
For the free browser tools, your images are processed on your own device and we are neither a controller nor a processor of them. Where you use a server-side option or the Developer API in the course of your business, and the files you send contain personal data, you act as the controller and we act as your processor for that processing.
We do not yet have a standard data processing agreement in place. Before you begin any such processing, we will make data processing terms available to you and agree them with you — terms containing the commitments required by Article 28(3) of the GDPR (processing only on your documented instructions, confidentiality, security, sub-processors, assistance, deletion and audit). Contact us at support@imagespeckit.com and we will settle them with you; we will not start processing personal data on your behalf without them. Our sub-processors are listed in the Privacy Policy.
14. Third-party services and links
The Service relies on third parties:
- Cloudflare — hosting, CDN and DNS. The Service runs on Cloudflare Workers with Cloudflare Static Assets, and our static files and WebAssembly encoders are delivered from Cloudflare's edge network; the larger AVIF encoder (libaom) is stored in Cloudflare R2 object storage. TLS for imagespeckit.com is issued through Cloudflare.
- Paddle — checkout, payment and tax. Paddle will be engaged when Paid Services launch (see section 7); it is not processing payments for us today.
- Alibaba Cloud (阿里云), Singapore — compute for server-side image processing. This is not live: server-side processing is not yet available, and when it launches together with the Developer API it will run on Alibaba Cloud infrastructure located in Singapore.
Their services are governed by their own terms and privacy notices. The Privacy Policy describes what personal data each of them processes. The Service may also link to third-party websites; we do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices.
15. Availability and changes to the Service
We aim to keep the Service available and working, but we do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may suspend the Service temporarily for maintenance, security or technical reasons, and we will try to give advance notice where that is practical.
We may add, change, or withdraw features. If we discontinue Paid Services you have bought, we will give reasonable notice and refund the unused portion of what you paid, calculated pro rata from the date the Paid Services stop. The refund is executed through Paddle, and our Refund Policy describes how refunds are processed and how long they take.
16. Disclaimers
Nothing in this section or in section 17 excludes or limits any right you have that cannot be excluded or limited by law. If you are a Consumer, you keep the full benefit of the mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live, including statutory rights and guarantees relating to conformity, defects, remedies and quality. Where those rights conflict with anything in this section, those rights prevail. In some countries — including the member states of the European Union, the United Kingdom and Australia — statutory guarantees about digital content and digital services cannot be excluded at all; there, nothing in this section applies to them, and we do not represent otherwise.
Subject to that, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement, to the extent those warranties may lawfully be excluded.
- We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that output will be accepted by any third party (see section 4), that operation will be uninterrupted, or that defects will be corrected.
- You are responsible for keeping your own copies of your files. We do not store them for you.
17. Limitation of liability
Nothing here excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — including, for Consumers, liability under mandatory consumer protection law in the country where you live.
Nothing here limits our liability for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for breach of an obligation whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of these Terms and on whose fulfilment you may reasonably rely. Where we breach such an essential obligation by ordinary negligence, our liability is limited to the loss that was foreseeable and typical for a contract of this kind.
Subject to the above, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business opportunity, or loss or corruption of data, however caused — except where the loss results from our gross negligence or wilful misconduct or from breach of an essential obligation as described above.
- Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service and these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for Paid Services through Paddle in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) USD 100.
- Because the Free Service is provided without charge, our liability in relation to it is limited to the amount in (b) above, again subject to the opening paragraphs of this section.
If you are a Consumer, these limits apply only to the extent that the law of your country of residence allows them; where it does not, the limit permitted by that law applies instead.
18. Indemnity
If you are not a Consumer, you agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss, liability and reasonable cost (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, from Your Content, or from your use of the Service in breach of law or of a third party's rights. This section does not apply to Consumers.
Where we seek indemnity, we will notify you of the claim without undue delay, will not settle it without your prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), and will allow you to participate in the defence at your cost.
19. Term
These Terms apply from the moment you first use the Service and continue while you use it. A Pro subscription continues for the billing period you selected, and renews as described at checkout, in section 7.8 and in the Refund Policy, until cancelled. A 7-day pass runs for its seven days and then expires. Credit packs last until the credits are spent, subject to any expiry stated on the pricing page at the time of purchase.
20. Suspension and termination
By you. You may stop using the Service at any time. If you have an account, you may close it, and you may cancel a subscription at any time using any of the routes in section 7.8; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for.
By us. We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, if:
- you materially breach these Terms, in particular section 8;
- we are required to do so by law or by a valid order from a competent authority;
- your use poses a security, legal or operational risk to us or to other users; or
- we discontinue the Service.
Where it is practical and lawful to do so, we will give you notice and the reasons, and — other than for serious or repeated breaches, or where the law or an authority requires immediate action — an opportunity to fix the problem first. If we terminate Paid Services for a reason that is not your breach, we will refund the unused portion through Paddle.
If we terminate Paid Services because you materially breached these Terms, we may retain the fees attributable to the period during which the Service was actually provided to you. We do not retain fees for a period you paid for and did not receive unless retaining them is a proportionate response to the loss your breach caused us, and nothing in this paragraph affects your mandatory rights as a Consumer.
Effect. On termination, your licence to use the Service ends. Because the free tools process your files on your own device, and because a file sent to our servers is processed in memory only and never stored — with only the result file retained, for at most one hour — there is normally nothing for you to retrieve on termination and nothing further for us to delete beyond what our Privacy Policy describes. Sections 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23 and 24 survive termination, as do any payment obligations that had already arisen under section 7.
21. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms — for example to reflect new features, a change in our operations, or a change in the law. We will post the updated version here with a new "Last updated" date.
If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will give at least 30 days' notice before it takes effect, by email where we hold your address and by a prominent notice on the Service. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept a change, it does not apply to you: stop using the Service before it takes effect and, if you hold Paid Services you have not fully used, cancel and tell us. Where you cancel because you do not accept a change of this kind, we will refund the unused portion of what you paid, pro rata from the date of cancellation, executed through Paddle as described in the Refund Policy.
Changes never apply retroactively to a dispute that arose before they took effect.
22. Governing law and disputes
22.1 Talk to us first
Most problems are resolved quickly. Please contact us at support@imagespeckit.com — or by telephone on +86 182 7962 2556 (Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 China Standard Time (UTC+8)) — before starting formal proceedings, and we will try in good faith to sort the matter out within 30 days. This step is not a precondition to your right to go to court.
22.2 Governing law
These Terms and any dispute arising from them or from your use of the Service are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (mainland), excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
Consumer carve-out. If you are a Consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you habitually reside. Where the consumer law of your country of residence gives you rights or protections that cannot be derogated from by agreement, those rights and protections apply to you in full and prevail over this section to the extent of any conflict.
22.3 Jurisdiction
If you are not a Consumer, the courts of Jizhou District, Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, China have exclusive jurisdiction.
If you are a Consumer, nothing in these Terms limits where you may sue or be sued under the law that applies to you. You may bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, and we will bring any proceedings against you in those courts. In particular, consumers in the European Union and the United Kingdom keep the protections of the applicable rules on jurisdiction in consumer contracts.
22.4 No class actions, where permitted
To the extent permitted by the law that applies to you, disputes will be resolved on an individual basis and not as a class, collective or representative action. This paragraph does not apply where the law of your country of residence gives you a right to collective redress, including under Directive (EU) 2020/1828. This paragraph does not waive any right to seek public injunctive relief, which cannot be waived in advance under the law of some jurisdictions, including California. If this paragraph is held unenforceable in whole or in part, that holding does not affect the rest of section 22, which continues in force.
22.5 Sale transactions
Disputes about the sale transaction itself — payment, invoicing, tax, chargebacks and the processing of refunds — are between you and Paddle as merchant of record, and Paddle's own terms and dispute procedures apply to them. We will help you deal with Paddle wherever we can.
23. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Refund Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service, and replace any earlier understanding on that subject. This does not limit liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, and, if you are a Consumer, it does not prevent you from relying on a statement we made to you before you contracted that influenced your decision to contract.
- Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in force, and the invalid provision is treated as modified to the least extent necessary to make it enforceable.
- No waiver. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, provided your rights are not reduced; if you are a Consumer and the assignment affects your rights, you may terminate.
- No third-party rights. No one other than you and us may enforce these Terms, except that Paddle may rely on section 7 and section 22.5.
- Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except for payment obligations.
- Notices. We may give you notice by email, or by posting on the Service. You may give us notice at support@imagespeckit.com.
24. Language
These Terms are written in English, and the English version is the authoritative text. We may provide a Chinese translation for convenience. If there is any discrepancy between the English version and a translation, the English version prevails, except where the mandatory law of your country of residence requires otherwise.
