Terms of service

By using RoundCut, you agree to these terms. They're short, plain, and exist to keep the service usable for everyone.

1. The basics

These terms govern your use of RoundCut (the “service”), reachable at roundcut.com.br. By using the service you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the service.

RoundCut is a personal project. The service is provided as-is, free of charge, with no warranty of any kind. We aim to keep the tools working and useful, but we can’t promise uptime, error-free behavior, or that any specific result will work for your use case.

2. What you can do

You may use every tool on RoundCut for any lawful purpose — personal or commercial — free of charge. We don’t claim any rights over the images you process. Whatever license you have on the source image, you keep on the result.

You may also bookmark the site, share it, link to it, or use it offline after the initial page load. The tools are designed to work without a server connection.

3. What you can’t do

Some uses are off the table:

  • Don’t use the service to process images you don’t have the right to process. If you don’t own the image, make sure you have permission.
  • Don’t use the service to create content that’s illegal where you live or where the affected people live — for example, content that’s defamatory, infringes copyright, sexualizes minors, or is otherwise unlawful.
  • Don’t try to break the service. No automated scraping at a rate that affects other users, no attempting to bypass security or rate limits, no probing for vulnerabilities outside a responsible-disclosure context.
  • Don’t redistribute RoundCut as your own product. The site, its design, its branding, and its source code are not in the public domain.

4. Your content stays yours

RoundCut runs entirely in your browser. We don’t receive your images, we don’t store them, and we don’t have a copy. There is nothing for us to license, sell, or publish, because we never had it in the first place.

The output of any tool is yours. RoundCut does not watermark exports and does not embed identifying metadata in the result.

5. Service availability and changes

We may add tools, remove tools, change how an existing tool works, change the URL structure of the site, or take the service offline temporarily for maintenance. When we make a meaningful change to a tool’s capability or to these terms, we’ll update the relevant page. Significant policy changes will be announced on the home page.

We don’t guarantee that any specific tool, format, or feature will remain available forever, although we try not to remove things people rely on.

6. Premium tier (when launched)

We plan to introduce an optional paid “RoundCut Pro” tier in the future, processed through Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record. Until that tier launches, the entire service is free with no exceptions.

When Pro launches, the additional terms covering billing, refunds, and license validity will be added here in the same commit that activates the tier. Free tools that exist today will remain free indefinitely — Pro adds capability, it doesn’t gate what’s already shipped.

7. Advertising (when enabled)

RoundCut may display advertising served by Google AdSense on tool pages, below the tool surface. Ads are not currently active. When they are, the home page, satellite pages, and legal pages will remain ad-free, and Pro subscribers will not see ads at all.

We have no control over the specific ads served by AdSense, although Google operates AdSense under its own content policies. If you see an ad you believe violates Google’s policies, you can report it through Google’s tools.

8. Ownership and third-party names

The site’s design, copy, branding, and custom illustrations belong to the project. The site’s source code is private.

Third-party names, logos, and trademarks mentioned on the site (e.g. “Discord”, “LinkedIn”, “Instagram”, “iPhone”, “HEIC”) belong to their respective owners and are referenced only descriptively, to explain what the tools do.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We don’t guarantee that the tools will produce a specific result, that they will work in every browser, that they will be available at any specific time, or that they will be error-free. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all implied warranties — fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, non-infringement, accuracy.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, RoundCut and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the service — including loss of data, lost profits, or business interruption — even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability arising from these terms is limited to USD 100, or the amount you’ve paid us in the past twelve months for the Pro tier (whichever is greater). For free use, our cumulative liability is limited to USD 100.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the service in violation of these terms — for example, processing content you don’t have the right to process, or using the service for an illegal purpose.

12. Privacy

How we handle data is described in detail in our privacy policy. The summary: we don’t upload your images, we don’t set tracking cookies, and we don’t collect personal data tied to you.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Brazil, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. If a dispute arises that we can’t resolve informally, the courts of São Paulo, Brazil will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where local consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring a claim in your own jurisdiction.
