Terms and Conditions

These Terms form an agreement between you and ByteSquish for your use of bytesquish.com, the Images Toolkit, ByteSquish Account, ByteSquish Authenticator and related APIs (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using a Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you use a Service for an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind it. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

You must be at least 18 years old or have legally valid authorisation from a parent or guardian. Provide accurate information, keep credentials confidential, use a strong password or passkey and promptly report suspected compromise. You are responsible for activity through your account except to the extent caused by ByteSquish's breach of duty. One ByteSquish Account may provide sign-in and logout across participating ByteSquish applications.

• Images: retain your originals and confirm that you have the rights and lawful basis needed to upload, process and download every image or prompt.
• Developer API: protect client secrets, keep them out of public client code, follow documented limits and do not circumvent rate controls.
• Authenticator: access is limited to a mobile browser and requires your ByteSquish Account plus the vault passkey or six-digit PIN you configure. Keep that credential secure, keep independent recovery codes for every third-party service and remove obsolete entries promptly.
• Account 2FA: keep your verified email secure and current. ByteSquish Account 2FA uses email codes; the separate Authenticator feature stores TOTP entries for third-party services.
• Push approvals: enable login notifications only on devices you control. Approve only requests you initiated, compare the displayed code and device details when available, and deny or report unfamiliar requests.

You must not use the Services to:

• break the law, infringe intellectual-property, privacy or other rights, or process content you are not authorised to use;
• create or distribute malware, exploitative or abusive material, unlawful sexual content, fraud, deception or instructions intended to cause harm;
• attack, probe, scrape, overload, reverse engineer or bypass security or usage restrictions, except where law expressly permits and cannot be waived;
• access another person's account, credentials, images or authenticator secrets without permission;
• misrepresent generated content as authentic where that would be deceptive or unlawful; or
• use automated access outside the documented API or resell the Services without written permission.

You retain ownership of your images, prompts and outputs to the extent the law recognises such rights. You grant ByteSquish and its processors a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, copy, transmit and process that content only to operate, secure and support the requested Service. The licence ends when the content is deleted, except for limited backup cycling and legal preservation. We do not claim ownership of your content or use it to train our own AI models without separate, explicit permission.

AI outputs can be inaccurate, incomplete, biased or similar to content generated for others. Review outputs before relying on or publishing them. Do not use an output as the sole basis for medical, legal, financial, employment, credit or other high-impact decisions. You are responsible for checking legality, accuracy, attribution and third-party rights in your use.

The Services, software, designs, text, logos and trademarks, excluding your content and third-party materials, belong to ByteSquish or its licensors. We give you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Services in accordance with these Terms. No other rights are granted. Feedback may be used without restriction or obligation to you.

Some features depend on third-party infrastructure or services, including AI processing and translation. Their own terms and privacy notices may apply. ByteSquish is not responsible for third-party services outside our control, but this does not reduce our obligations for processors we appoint under applicable data-protection law.

We may maintain, modify, rate-limit, suspend or discontinue all or part of a Service. We do not promise uninterrupted availability or a specific uptime unless a separate written service-level agreement says otherwise. We will use reasonable efforts to give notice of material changes where practicable. Keep copies of content and recovery information you cannot afford to lose.

You may stop using the Services and request account deletion at any time. Account deletion has the recovery and retention periods stated in the Privacy Policy. We may restrict or terminate access for a material or repeated breach, a credible security risk, non-payment where applicable, or a legal requirement. Where appropriate, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to appeal by emailing hello@bytesquish.com.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available". ByteSquish disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and accuracy. Nothing in these Terms limits any warranty, consumer right or remedy that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ByteSquish is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential loss, or for lost profits, business, goodwill or data, arising from use of the Services. This limitation does not apply to fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, breach of data-protection duties where liability cannot lawfully be limited, or any other liability that applicable law prohibits us from excluding. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

If you use the Services for business purposes, you will defend and indemnify ByteSquish against third-party claims caused by your unlawful content, your infringement of another person's rights or your material breach of these Terms. This does not apply to the extent a claim was caused by ByteSquish, and it does not limit rights available to consumers under mandatory law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts with competent jurisdiction in India may hear disputes, but this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer or data-protection law, including a right to bring a claim or complaint in another forum where that law requires. Before filing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

We may update these Terms for legal, security or Service changes. Material changes will be notified as required, and the updated date will be shown above. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer this agreement without our consent; we may transfer it as part of a reorganisation or sale while preserving applicable rights.
