Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Amal Antony ("the developer," "we," "us") governing your use of the PixWiz mobile application and any content, templates, or features provided through it (collectively, "PixWiz" or "the App").

By downloading, installing, or using PixWiz, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

PixWiz is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Your use is also subject to the terms of whichever store you obtained it from, and in the event of a direct conflict on a matter the store governs (such as payment or refunds), the store's terms control.

Eligibility. PixWiz is not directed at children under 13, and you must be at least 13 years old to use it. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use PixWiz only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

2. What PixWiz is

PixWiz is an on-device photo and poster editor. It provides editing tools (background removal, object erasing, filters, masks, overlays, text, stickers, shapes, collage layouts) and export features.

PixWiz has no user accounts and no sign-in. It does not provide cloud storage, cloud backup, or sync between devices. Your projects exist only in the App's local storage on the device where you created them.

This has a practical consequence you should understand before relying on PixWiz for important work: if you uninstall the App, lose your device, reset it, or delete a project, that work is gone. There is no server-side copy and no way for the developer to recover it. Export anything you want to keep.

3. Your content

You keep ownership. You retain all rights to the photos you import into PixWiz and the designs you create with it. The developer claims no ownership of your content, acquires no license to it, and does not have access to it — your content is stored on your device and is not uploaded to any server operated by the developer. See the Privacy Policy for details. The developer will never use your designs for promotion, training, or any other purpose, because the developer never receives them.

You are responsible for the rights to what you import. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the necessary rights to every image, photograph, logo, font, or other material you bring into PixWiz, and for how you use what you create. In particular:

• Do not import copyrighted images, trademarks, or brand assets you do not have permission to use.
• Do not import photographs of other people in ways that violate their privacy or publicity rights, or any applicable law.
• Custom fonts you add to the App must be ones you are licensed to use.

If you distribute, publish, sell, or commercially use a design you made in PixWiz, obtaining the necessary rights for its contents is your responsibility, not the developer's.

Stock photos. PixWiz's stock photo search is powered by the Pexels API. Photos obtained through it are supplied by Pexels under Pexels' own license terms, which govern what you may do with them — including any restrictions on commercial use, redistribution, or depictions of identifiable people, brands, or property. The developer does not grant you any rights to Pexels content and is not a party to that license. Review Pexels' license before using those photos in anything you publish or sell.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use PixWiz to create, store, or distribute content that:

• Infringes the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person or entity;
• Is unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, or deceptive, including content designed to impersonate a real person or organization, or to fabricate documents, identification, receipts, or official records;
• Harasses, threatens, bullies, or incites violence or hatred against any person or group;
• Is sexually explicit material involving minors, or any other content that sexually exploits or endangers children;
• Depicts or promotes serious violence, terrorism, or self-harm;
• Violates the content policies of the App Store or Google Play.

You also agree not to:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• Circumvent, disable, or tamper with the App's premium entitlement checks, watermarking, advertising, or any other technical restriction, or use modified or tampered builds of the App;
• Use automated means to interact with the App or with the third-party services it calls, or make excessive or abusive use of those services (for example, the stock photo search API);
• Redistribute, resell, sublicense, or repackage the App or its bundled assets (see section 5).

5. Intellectual property in the App

The App itself — its software, name, logo, user interface and design, and the creative assets provided with it, including templates, backgrounds, stickers, overlays, shapes, effect presets, and bundled fonts — is owned by the developer or by the developer's licensors, and is protected by copyright and other laws.

Subject to these Terms, you are granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App and its provided assets for the purpose of creating your own designs. Designs you create may be used freely, including commercially, subject to section 3 and to the asset license notes below.

You are not granted any right to extract, redistribute, resell, or sublicense the App's templates, stickers, overlays, fonts, or other bundled assets as assets, separately from a design you have made with them.

Third-party components, including open-source libraries and the open-licensed fonts bundled with the App, remain subject to their own licenses.

6. Free tier, advertising, and premium

PixWiz is free to download and use. The free tier is supported by advertising and includes certain limitations, such as a watermark on exported designs and restricted access to some premium features.

By using the free tier, you agree to the display of advertisements, which may include banner, interstitial, rewarded, and app-open ad formats. The developer does not control which specific advertisements are shown; ads are selected and served by Google AdMob and its mediation partners. The developer does not endorse advertised products and is not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements or for anything you obtain from an advertiser.

PixWiz may offer rewarded ads: you may voluntarily watch an ad to temporarily unlock a feature, or to remove the export watermark for a project. A watermark removed this way stays off for every future export of that same project; starting a new project, or duplicating one, still shows the watermark until you watch another ad. This is not a purchase, and it is not a device-wide or account-wide unlock — see the Privacy Policy for how it's scoped.

Premium features are available by purchase or subscription, as described in section 7.

7. Purchases and subscriptions

Billing is handled by Apple and Google, not by PixWiz. All purchases and subscriptions are processed through the in-app purchase system of the store you installed the App from (the Apple App Store or Google Play). Payment is charged to your store account at confirmation of purchase. The developer does not process payments and never receives your payment card details.

Prices are displayed in the App before purchase, are set per store and per region, and may change. Any price change affecting an existing subscription will be handled according to the applicable store's rules, which generally require notice and, in many cases, your consent before the new price takes effect.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, and your store account is charged the then-current price for the next period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends (or within whatever window the store specifies).

Cancellation — important, because there is nowhere in PixWiz to do it. Because PixWiz has no accounts, the developer cannot cancel, pause, refund, or modify your subscription, and there is no cancellation control inside the App. Subscription management lives entirely in your store account:

• iOS: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, or the App Store app → your profile → Subscriptions.
• Android: Google Play Store app → your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.

Cancelling stops future renewals. Unless the store's policy provides otherwise, you keep access to premium features for the remainder of the period you have already paid for, and cancelling mid-period does not generally produce a partial refund.

Refunds. Refunds are governed by Apple's and Google's refund policies and are issued at their discretion. The developer has no ability to issue, approve, or reverse a refund for a store purchase. Direct refund requests to the relevant store. If you believe something in the App failed and caused the problem, contact [email protected] and the developer will try to help with the underlying issue, but the refund decision itself is not the developer's to make.

Restoring purchases. Premium entitlements are tied to the store account that made the purchase and can be restored using the App's "Restore Purchases" action, which asks the store to re-verify your entitlements. Because there is no PixWiz account, a purchase cannot be transferred between store accounts, and purchases made on one platform's store generally cannot be restored on the other.

Consumer rights. Nothing in this section limits any statutory right of withdrawal, cancellation, or refund you may have under consumer protection law in your jurisdiction.

8. Third-party services

PixWiz integrates third-party services to function, including Google AdMob (and its mediation partners, including Meta Audience Network), RevenueCat, Firebase, Pexels, Expo, and content delivery networks. These services are operated by independent companies under their own terms and privacy policies. The developer does not control them and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, or practices.

Features that depend on a network — stock photo search, downloadable templates and stickers, advertising, purchase verification, and app updates — may be unavailable or degraded if the relevant service is down, if your connection fails, or if a service's terms change. The App's core on-device editing is designed to keep working offline.

See the Privacy Policy for what data these services receive.

9. Availability and changes to the App

PixWiz is provided on an ongoing but not guaranteed basis. The developer may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features — including premium features, bundled asset packs, and downloadable content — at any time, and may stop supporting older app or OS versions.

If a paid premium feature is discontinued during a subscription period you have paid for, the developer will make a reasonable effort to provide notice and to handle it fairly, including through the relevant store's refund mechanisms where appropriate.

PixWiz receives updates through the App Store, Google Play, and over-the-air JavaScript updates. Some updates may be required for the App to continue working correctly.

10. Disclaimers

PixWiz is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, or non-infringement.

Without limiting the above, the developer does not warrant that:

• The App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;
• Editing results — including automated background removal, object erasing, and other machine-learning features — will meet your expectations or be accurate for any particular image. These features are automated and imperfect by nature; always review the result before using it.
• Locally stored projects will be preserved. PixWiz stores your work on your device only. Device loss, failure, reset, OS behavior, uninstallation, or a bug in the App can result in permanent loss of unexported work. Export and back up anything you cannot afford to lose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing here is intended to exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• The developer will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, loss of designs or unexported work, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) PixWiz, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not the developer was advised of the possibility of such damages.
• The developer's total aggregate liability for all claims relating to PixWiz will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you actually paid for the App and its in-app purchases in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) ten US dollars (USD $10.00).

These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law — for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud — and they do not limit your statutory consumer rights.

PixWiz is an independent app. Apple and Google are not parties to these Terms, provide no warranty for PixWiz, and have no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for it. To the extent either store's terms require it, those terms' provisions regarding third-party beneficiaries and end-user license agreements apply in addition to these Terms.

12. Termination

You may stop using PixWiz at any time by uninstalling it. Uninstalling removes the App and its locally stored projects from your device; it does not cancel an active subscription — see section 7.

The developer may terminate or suspend your license to use the App if you materially breach these Terms, in particular sections 4 (Acceptable use) or 5 (Intellectual property). Because PixWiz has no accounts and no server, the developer has no technical ability to remotely disable an installed copy or a specific user's access; in practice, enforcement would occur through the relevant app store or through legal channels.

Sections 3 (your ownership of your content), 5 (intellectual property in the App), 10 (disclaimers), and 11 (limitation of liability) survive termination.

13. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated as PixWiz changes. When they are, the effective date at the top of this document will be updated, and the published version linked from the App Store and Play Store listings will be replaced.

For material changes — particularly to purchase terms, acceptable use, or dispute resolution — the developer will make a reasonable effort to provide notice in the App or in the release notes. Continued use of PixWiz after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the App and, if you wish, cancel any subscription through your store account.

14. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding PixWiz, and supersede any prior understandings.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions stay in full effect.

No waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms. The developer may assign them in connection with a transfer of the App or the business operating it.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

15. Contact

Questions about these Terms, support requests, bug reports, and intellectual-property or content complaints:

[email protected]

For an intellectual-property complaint, please include enough detail to identify the material concerned and the basis of your claim. Note that because the developer has no access to users' designs or any server hosting them, takedown of a specific user's content is not technically possible — such complaints are generally a matter for the platform where the content was published.
