Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to both you and the organization.
We may refuse service, close accounts, or remove or edit content at our sole discretion.
Changes to these terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to notify you. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, to use the Service, and old enough to form a binding contract. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that your use does not violate any law that applies to you.
The service
Vectorizer converts raster images (PNG, JPG, and WEBP) into editable vector artwork. You upload an image, choose the colors you want to keep, preview the trace, and export the result as SVG, EPS, PDF, DXF, or PNG.
We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service — including features, export formats, and limits — at any time and without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for doing so.
Your images and content
You keep all rights you already hold in the images you upload and in the vector results you generate. We claim no ownership of them.
You represent and warrant that, for every image you submit, you own it or have all rights and permissions needed to upload it and to have it traced, and that neither the image nor your use of the result infringes any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other right, or violates any law.
You grant us and our service providers a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, transmit, process, and display your image and the result solely to operate and provide the Service to you. This license lasts only as long as needed to provide the Service to you.
Processing
We process your image only to produce the vector result you asked for. We do not use your images to build a gallery, a dataset, or a training corpus. For more detail, see the Privacy Policy.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- upload or process content you do not have the right to use, or that infringes or misappropriates anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
- upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually exploitative of minors, or that depicts or promotes violence or illegal activity;
- upload malware, or content designed to interfere with, compromise, or overload the Service;
- probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, or attempt to derive its source code or underlying models, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
- resell, sublicense, proxy, or multiplex the Service or its APIs, or present the Service as your own;
- use the Service in a way that violates any applicable law or regulation, or these Terms.
We may investigate and take action — including blocking access — against anyone we believe is violating this section.
Automated access and rate limits
Automated access to the Service is only permitted through interfaces we expressly provide for that purpose, and subject to any rate limits, quotas, and authentication requirements we set. You may not scrape the site, its scripts, its JSON, or its dynamically fetched data, and you must respect robots.txt.
You may not circumvent, disable, or defeat any access control, rate limit, or usage cap, including by rotating IP addresses or using multiple identities. We may throttle or suspend access we believe is abusive, insecure, or disproportionate.
No AI training or data mining
Without our prior written consent, you may not use the Service, its output, its interfaces, or any content, data, or assets obtained from it to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or develop any machine-learning model, or to build a competing vectorization or image-tracing service. You may not use the results you generate to reconstruct or approximate our vectorization technology.
Third-party services
The Service relies on third-party providers for infrastructure such as hosting, content delivery, and fonts. Your use of the Service is also subject to those providers’ terms where they apply.
We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or their handling of data beyond our contractual arrangements with them. Links from the Service to other websites are provided for convenience and are not an endorsement; we are not responsible for their content or practices.
Our intellectual property
The Service — including its software, models, design, text, graphics and logos — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted in these Terms, we grant you no license to our intellectual property.
We welcome feedback. If you send us suggestions or ideas about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or compensation to you.
Your results
The vector files you export (“Results”) are yours to use, including commercially, to the extent you hold the rights in the source image. We claim no ownership of and assert no license over your Results.
We do not warrant that a Result is unique, that it does not resemble another output, or that your use of it does not infringe a third party’s rights — that depends on your source image and how you use the Result, which are your responsibility.
Fees
The Service is currently provided free of charge. We may introduce paid features, subscriptions, or usage-based pricing in the future. If we do, we will disclose the price and terms before you incur a charge, and any fees will be non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing prospectively on notice.
Export compliance and sanctions
You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country or region subject to a comprehensive government embargo, and that you are not on any government restricted-party or denied-party list. You may not use or export the Service in violation of applicable export control or sanctions laws.
Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY CONTENT AND ANY RESULTS, IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT THE SERVICE OR ITS SERVERS ARE FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY RESULT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE.
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR USD $100. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: your use or misuse of the Service; the images or content you submit; your Results and how you use them; or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Your images and content, Our intellectual property, Disclaimer of warranties, Limitation of liability, Indemnification, and Governing law and disputes — continue to apply after termination.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Service operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Any claim arising out of or related to the Service must be filed within one year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred, unless applicable law requires a longer period.
Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any terms presented to you in the Service, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
