Terms of Service
Last updated: [DATE]
TEMPLATE — replace everything in [brackets] and have it reviewed by a lawyer before going live.
These terms apply to your use of [WEBSITE DOMAIN] (the "Service"), operated by [COMPANY NAME], [COMPANY ADDRESS] ("we", "us"). By using the Service or buying a photo you agree to them.
1. What the Service is
The Service is a private photo tool that helps you create passport, visa and ID photos from your own photo. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with any government. We do not issue documents, submit applications or decide whether a photo is accepted.
2. Requirements and acceptance
We size and check photos against published requirements, but requirements change and authorities may apply their own judgement (for example about lighting, expression, glasses or head coverings). You are responsible for checking the current official requirements for your document and for the photo you submit. Some documents require photos taken by an approved photographer or at the application office; the document information in the Service notes this where we know of it.
3. Your photos
Your photos are processed on your device and are not uploaded to us. You must have the right to use any photo you process, and you may only create photos of yourself or of people who have authorised you (for example your children).
4. Purchases
- Previews are free. Prices are shown before you pay and include [any applicable taxes / taxes calculated at checkout].
- Payments are processed by Stripe. Your purchase is completed when Stripe confirms the payment.
- Purchased files are digital content delivered immediately in your browser. By buying, you request immediate delivery [and acknowledge that, where the law allows, this means you lose the statutory right to withdraw once the download is available — EU/UK customers: have this wording checked].
- Refunds are described in our Refund Policy.
5. Acceptable use
Do not use the Service to make photos for fraudulent documents, to impersonate anyone, or to misuse someone else's photo. Do not attempt to disrupt the Service or to obtain paid files without paying.
6. Intellectual property
The Service, its design and software belong to us or our licensors. The photos you create are yours. Open-source components are used under their licences (including MediaPipe and MODNet, Apache-2.0).
7. Disclaimer
The Service is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that a photo will be accepted by any authority, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
8. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for the photo concerned. We are not liable for indirect losses such as missed travel, appointment fees or delays. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory consumer rights.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION]. [Disputes are subject to the courts of [JURISDICTION], without affecting any mandatory consumer protection rights where you live.]
