Terms of Service

The Services may include our websites, web and mobile applications, desktop software, APIs, developer tooling, cloud and platform engineering, AI-enabled features, enterprise delivery work, and the supporting digital infrastructure operated by Pixel Beat.

The Services are intended for lawful business, professional, and personal use that is consistent with these Terms. Particular products, engagements, or features may carry additional terms that we present at the point of use.

You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission.

Except where we indicate otherwise, the Services — including source code, software, interfaces, trademarks, logos, trade names, documentation, models, and related materials — belong to Pixel Beat or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property and unfair-competition laws.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services for their intended purpose and in line with these Terms.

Unless we expressly permit it or the law allows it, you may not copy, reproduce, aggregate, republish, upload, post, publicly display, encode, translate, transmit, distribute, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any part of the Services.

We may remove or restrict User Content that we reasonably believe breaches these Terms, breaks the law, or harms the rights or safety of others.

When you submit User Content through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, transmit, and display that content solely as needed to provide, secure, support, and improve the Services, carry out your requests, comply with the law, and enforce these Terms.

This license does not permit us to use your personal data or uploaded content to train general-purpose AI models without your separate, explicit consent.

If you use the Services through a mobile application, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use that application on devices you own or control, strictly in accordance with these Terms.

You may not make the application available over a network where multiple devices could use it at once, remove any proprietary notices, or use it for any purpose these Terms do not expressly permit.

Some Services or features may require payment, a subscription, prepaid credits, or usage-based billing. You agree to give current, complete, and accurate billing information and to pay all fees, taxes, and charges tied to your use.

We may adjust pricing, packaging, or feature availability over time. Unless we state otherwise, fees are non-refundable except where applicable law requires it or a separate product-specific policy provides for it.

Where payment runs through a third-party platform or app marketplace, that platform's additional terms may also apply.

The Services may link to, integrate with, or depend on third-party services, websites, payment processors, login providers, data providers, or infrastructure partners.

We neither control nor take responsibility for third-party services. Using them is at your own risk and may be governed by their separate terms and privacy notices.

We may present information about our own products, product updates, partnership campaigns, or other promotional materials within the Services or on our website.

Any dealings you have with third parties in connection with promotions, offers, or campaigns are solely between you and that third party unless we expressly say otherwise.

Where a product supports it, account deletion is available in-product. You may also send deletion, export, or other privacy-related requests to us directly.

You may stop using the Services at any time.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access or your account if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, created a security risk, behaved abusively, infringed rights, or failed to pay fees, or if the law requires us to.

On termination, the rights we granted you under these Terms end immediately, but any provisions that should survive by their nature will continue to apply.

We may change, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, unless notice is required by law.

We are not liable for any modification, suspension, unavailability, or discontinuation of the Services, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.

To the fullest extent the law allows, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

We disclaim all warranties, including those of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, availability, security, reliability, and accuracy.

We do not guarantee that the Services will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or suitable for every use case.

AI-generated outputs may be inaccurate or incomplete; you are responsible for reviewing and validating any such content before relying on it.

To the fullest extent the law allows, neither we nor our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, licensors, or service providers will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Services.

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the relevant Service in the six months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pixel Beat and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to your User Content, your use of the Services, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

You may not use, export, re-export, or transfer the Services except as permitted by the laws of Hong Kong and any other jurisdiction with authority over the transaction or over you.

You confirm that you are not located in, controlled by, or a resident of a restricted jurisdiction, and that you are not on any applicable sanctions or prohibited-party list.

Visiting our website, emailing us, completing online forms, or using digital workflows counts as electronic communication.

You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that electronic agreements, notices, disclosures, and records satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

If you live in a jurisdiction that grants non-waivable consumer, privacy, or platform rights, nothing in these Terms is meant to limit those rights to the extent such a limitation is prohibited by law.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable supplemental terms, make up the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services.

If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is severable and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign ours as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of assets.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these Terms of Service, understand them, and agree to be bound by them.
