“User Content” means text, images, video, audio, prompts, captions, and other material you upload to or generate via the Services.

• Ownership. You retain all rights in your User Content, subject to any third-party rights.
• Your license to us. You grant Payless Images and our processors a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use User Content solely to operate, maintain, support, and improve the Services you use (e.g., to generate captions, deliver outputs, provide support, apply abuse/spam detection, and perform security/diagnostics).
• No third-party model training. We do not use your content to train third-party generalized AI models. If you connect Google services, we do not use Google Workspace/Drive data to develop or train generalized AI/ML models.
• Your responsibilities. You represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions to upload and use User Content, that it complies with these Terms and applicable laws, and that it does not infringe others’ rights.

5) AI Outputs & Non-Exclusivity

The Services may produce AI-generated outputs (e.g., captions). Outputs can be similar or identical for different users due to common inputs or statistical generation; we do not promise uniqueness or exclusivity. You are solely responsible for how you use outputs, including ensuring compliance with laws and third-party rights.

6) Acceptable Use

Do not use the Services to:

• violate laws or infringe IP, privacy, or publicity rights;
• generate or share illegal, exploitative, or hateful content, including sexual content involving minors or non-consensual activity;
• upload malware or attempt to gain unauthorized access;
• engage in harassment, doxxing, or spam;
• reverse engineer, benchmark to compete, or misuse rate limits.
  We may remove content, limit features, or suspend/terminate accounts for violations.

7) Third-Party Services, Links & Sign-In

The Services may integrate or link to third-party platforms (e.g., Apple/Google sign-in, app stores, cloud storage). Their terms and privacy policies apply to your use of those services. We are not responsible for third-party sites/services and do not control their content or practices.

8) Subscriptions, Trials, Billing & Taxes

• Plans. Some features are free; others require a paid subscription. Pricing, plan features, and promotions may change.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions auto-renew each billing cycle until cancelled. You can cancel anytime via platform settings (e.g., App Store/Google Play) or in-app; access continues through the period you paid for.
• Refunds. Unless required by law or the platform’s policies, payments are non-refundable. App-store refunds (if any) are handled by the relevant store.
• Taxes. Prices may exclude taxes/duties; you’re responsible for applicable taxes.

9) Intellectual Property

We and our licensors own the Services and all related materials, including software, interfaces, features, templates, documentation, and trademarks. Except for the limited license above, no rights are granted. You may submit feedback; we may use it without restriction or compensation.

10) Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, create risk, or where required by law. Upon termination, your license ends and you must stop using the Services. Sections that by nature should survive (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, governing law) survive termination. You may continue to use outputs and content you created before termination to the extent permitted by these Terms and applicable law.

11) DMCA / Copyright Complaints

If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@paylessimages.com with: (a) your contact details; (b) identification of the work(s) claimed infringed; (c) identification of the material and its location; (d) a statement of good-faith belief; (e) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are authorized; and (f) your signature. We may remove content and, for repeat infringement, terminate accounts as appropriate.

12) Privacy

Your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy (available in-app or at our website). It explains what we collect, how we use/share data, retention, security, and your rights. For privacy requests, email support@paylessimages.com.

13) No Warranties (Services “AS IS”)

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services and all outputs are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or availability. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that outputs will meet your needs.

14) Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Payless Images and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to the Services or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility. Our aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the amounts you paid to us for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to liability (or USD $50 if you paid nothing). Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations; those limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted.

15) Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Payless Images and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your: (a) use of the Services or outputs; (b) User Content; (c) breach of these Terms; or (d) violation of law or third-party rights.

16) Export & Sanctions

You must comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws. You may not use the Services if you are located in, or are a resident of, a country embargoed by Japan, the U.S., EU, UK, or other applicable authorities, or if you are on a prohibited-party list.

17) App Store Terms

If you downloaded the app from an app store (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play), the store is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms but is not responsible for providing maintenance or support. You must comply with the store’s terms (e.g., usage rules). In case of conflict, these Terms govern the relationship between you and Payless Images.

18) Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflicts-of-law rules. Unless prohibited by consumer-protection laws in your country, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services. Consumers’ mandatory rights under local law are not limited by this clause.

19) Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Payless Images regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements.
• Severability & waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Failure to enforce is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer.
• Language. These Terms are in English. Translations may be provided for convenience; the English version prevails in case of conflict.
• Electronic communications. You consent to receive notices electronically and agree that such notices satisfy legal requirements for written communications.
