Terms of Service

By accessing or using PIXIR.IN ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and PIXIR.IN ("we," "us," or "our"), an independent web software application developed and operated by Sudhanshu Kumar (Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India - 603103).

PIXIR.IN is a free, browser-based tool that uses artificial intelligence to remove backgrounds from images. The Service operates entirely client-side, processing images locally in your web browser without uploading them to our servers.

2.1 Service Features

• AI-powered background removal
• Manual refinement tools (erase, restore, crop)
• Background color and preset customization
• High-resolution PNG export with transparent alpha channel
• 100% in-browser processing with zero server uploads

3.1 Your Images

You retain full ownership and all intellectual property rights to the images you upload and process using PIXIR.IN. We claim no ownership, rights, or licenses over your original or processed images.

3.2 Commercial & Personal Use

You are granted a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use PIXIR.IN web tools for both personal and commercial projects. Output cutouts created using PIXIR.IN belong entirely to you, and may be used in commercial products, marketing, e-commerce storefronts, and advertising without attribution to Pixir.

Third-Party Model Notice: Pixir executes open-weight neural segmentation models directly in your browser, including BRIA RMBG-1.4 (developed by BRIA AI, under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0; enterprise/commercial model licensing subject to BRIA AI guidelines) and open-source models via @imgly/background-removal (AGPL-3.0 / commercial terms).

3.3 Our Intellectual Property

The PIXIR.IN name, logo, site design, code, interface elements, and brand assets are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may not copy, modify, or reverse-engineer our software without explicit permission.

By using PIXIR.IN, you agree NOT to:

• Upload images that infringe upon third-party copyrights, trademarks, or privacy rights
• Process illegal, abusive, defamatory, or harmful content
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service
• Use automated scripts or scrapers to overload our website infrastructure
• Attempt to bypass authentication, brute force credentials, or gain unauthorized access to the restricted administrative studio (`/admin`) or backend database tables

Our data handling practices are governed by our Privacy Policy. Key principles include:

• 100% client-side processing: Images are processed entirely within your web browser
• Zero server uploads: Images are never transmitted to or saved on any remote server
• No account creation required for public users: Use PIXIR.IN without registration or personal details
• Privacy-friendly analytics: Unique visits and processed image counters use anonymous cryptographic hashes without storing raw IP addresses

PIXIR.IN provides self-serve and direct promotional advertising placements to brands, creators, and business partners ("Advertisers"). By submitting an advertising campaign or purchasing impression packages on PIXIR.IN, you agree to the following terms:

6.1 Ad Placements & Formats

• In-Studio Processing Banner: High-engagement ad unit displayed during local neural background removal while the client-side AI processes an image.
• Brand Logo Marquee Slider: Continuous rotating brand ticker displayed across prominent site sections (under the Online Studio).

6.2 Impression Measurement & Fair Deduction Rules

To ensure accurate and transparent campaign delivery, PIXIR.IN utilizes authoritative server-side Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) combined with client-side IntersectionObserver visibility verification:

• Processing Unit Deductions: Each verified display during image processing consumes exactly 10 impressions from the campaign balance, reflecting full-focus foreground engagement during active AI rendering. Deductions occur strictly when the ad achieves at least 50% viewport visibility and successfully renders.
• Continuous Slider Deductions: Marquee slider rotations deduct 1 impression per unique user. Continuous looping rotations on the same page view or session do not repeatedly charge the advertiser.
• Idempotency Protection: Ad candidate queries and API fetches are strictly read-only (zero deductions on mount). Impression deductions use cryptographic idempotency tokens and deduplication keys, preventing double-counting caused by page refreshes, retries, or network interruptions.

6.3 Content Guidelines, Administrative Review & Rejection

All submitted campaigns undergo administrative review and manual payment verification before activation. We reserve the absolute right to reject, suspend, or remove any advertising campaign without refund if it contains:

• Malicious software, deceptive/misleading content, phishing, or scam schemes
• Adult, sexually explicit, hate speech, or defamatory content
• Unauthorized trademark or intellectual property infringement
• Broken destination URLs or landing pages that violate local laws

Delivered impressions are considered fully rendered and non-refundable once served to site visitors according to these verified rules.

The Service may display links, sponsored partner logos, or promotional notices directing to external websites or our official social media channels. These third-party websites and platforms are governed by their own independent terms and privacy practices. PIXIR.IN does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, products, policies, or practices. Accessing any external links is at your sole discretion.

Advertisers purchasing promotional campaign impressions on PIXIR.IN agree to authoritative billing at the specified rate (₹1.00 per 50 impressions / ₹0.02 per show). All electronic payment processing is handled securely through our RBI-authorized payment aggregator, Razorpay.

All campaign cancellations, impression reconciliations, duplicate transaction handling, and refund requests are governed by our dedicated Refund & Cancellation Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms. For questions regarding tracking tokens, cookies, or storage keys, please consult our Cookie Policy.
