Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using BlurShot ("the Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.

These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including visitors, registered users, and any other individuals who access or use the Service.

2. Description of Service

BlurShot is a free, browser-based image editing tool that allows users to blur, pixelate, and redact sensitive information in images. The Service processes all images client-side in your web browser and does not upload images to any server.

Key Features:

• Blur sensitive areas with adjustable intensity
• Pixelate faces, text, and identifiable content
• Redact information with colored boxes
• Client-side processing (no server uploads)
• Free to use with no account required

3. User Responsibilities

3.1 Acceptable Use

You agree to use BlurShot only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree NOT to:

• Use the Service to process images you do not have the right to use or edit
• Use the Service for any illegal, harmful, or fraudulent purposes
• Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features of the Service
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service without permission
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service
• Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm others
• Violate any applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights

3.2 Content Rights

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to the images you process using BlurShot
• Your use of the Service does not violate any intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of third parties
• You are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws when editing and sharing images

3.3 Verification of Edits

You are solely responsible for verifying that sensitive information is adequately protected before sharing edited images. BlurShot provides tools to assist with privacy protection, but you must ensure the final result meets your security requirements.

4. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

4.1 "As Is" Service

BlurShot is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:

• Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
• Warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
• Warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of the Service

4.2 Security Limitations

Important Notice: While blur and pixelation provide visual privacy, advanced forensic techniques may potentially recover some information from blurred or pixelated content. For highly sensitive information, we recommend using the redaction tool (solid color boxes) which permanently covers content.

You acknowledge that:

• No privacy protection method is 100% foolproof
• You are responsible for choosing the appropriate level of protection for your content
• BlurShot makes no guarantees about the irreversibility of blur or pixelation effects

4.3 Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BLURSHOT AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY:

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
• Loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses
• Damages resulting from unauthorized access to or alteration of your data
• Damages resulting from the use or inability to use the Service
• Damages resulting from inadequate privacy protection of edited images
• Damages resulting from third-party actions or services

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Service Ownership

BlurShot and all associated intellectual property rights (including but not limited to trademarks, logos, design, code, and content) are owned by BlurShot or its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights to use the BlurShot name, trademarks, or branding.

5.2 Your Content

You retain all rights to the images you process using BlurShot. We do not claim ownership of your images, and we do not store or have access to them (all processing is client-side).

5.3 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us the right to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the Service without compensation or attribution.

6. Privacy

Your use of BlurShot is subject to our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in our Privacy Policy.

Quick Summary: We never see your images. All processing happens in your browser. We collect only anonymized analytics to improve the Service. Read our full Privacy Policy for details.

7. Service Availability and Modifications

7.1 Availability

We strive to keep BlurShot available and functional, but we do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times or without interruptions. We may suspend, modify, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time with or without notice.

7.2 Modifications to Service

We reserve the right to modify, update, or change the features, functionality, or appearance of BlurShot at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes.

7.3 Modifications to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify users by posting a prominent notice on the Service or by updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

8. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to BlurShot immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

You may stop using the Service at any time. Since no account is required, simply closing the browser tab ends your session.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

9.1 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where BlurShot operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

9.2 Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service should be first directed to us via email at legal@blurshot.io for informal resolution. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, both parties agree to resolve disputes through binding arbitration or in the courts of competent jurisdiction.

10. Miscellaneous

10.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and BlurShot regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements.

10.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

10.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.

BlurShot may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party sites.
