1. Acceptance of Agreement

By accessing and utilizing the suite of digital tools provided by Image Cub, you are entering into a legally binding agreement to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions. These terms govern your entire relationship with our platform, including all technical interactions, media processing, and communication with our support channels. If you do not agree with any specific part of these terms, you are strictly prohibited from using our services and should immediately exit the website. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time without prior individual notice, and it is your responsibility to review this page periodically for updates. Your continued use of the site following any changes constitutes your formal acceptance of the revised legal framework. Our platform is intended for users who are at least 13 years of age, and by using our tools, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. This agreement represents the entire understanding between you and Image Cub regarding the subject matter herein. We are committed to maintaining a professional and secure environment for all users who value digital excellence.

2. Local-First Processing Architecture

One of the core technical distinctions of Image Cub is our local-first, client-side processing model, which has significant legal and privacy implications for our users. Unlike traditional online tools that require you to transmit your data to a remote server, our platform executes all image conversion and optimization logic directly within your own web browser's isolated memory. This means that your original files and the resulting processed assets never leave your physical device and are never uploaded to our servers during the entire session. Consequently, Image Cub does not take possession of, nor does it have access to, any media you process on our platform, ensuring total data sovereignty for the user. From a legal standpoint, you remain the sole owner and custodian of your data at every stage of the workflow, and we do not claim any rights to your intellectual property. This architecture effectively eliminates our liability regarding the content of the files you process, as we never physically handle or store them. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions for any media you bring into our local sandbox environment. By using our tool, you acknowledge that the speed and stability of the process are partially dependent on your own hardware resources and browser configuration. We provide the technical interface, but you provide the data and the execution environment on your local machine.

Technical Metadata: While your media files remain entirely on your device, our platform may automatically generate and transmit anonymized, non-personal technical metadata (such as browser type, processing time, selected tool, and error reports) to our secure analytics server. This data is strictly used for service improvement, performance monitoring, and debugging. It cannot be used to identify you personally or reconstruct your original files. Detailed practices are outlined in our Privacy Policy.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

All content and technical logic found on the Image Cub website, including but not limited to the user interface design, logos, brand elements, and underlying JavaScript engines, is the exclusive property of Image Cub and its creators. These assets are protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws, and you are prohibited from copying, distributing, or reverse-engineering our software. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to use our tools for your personal or commercial projects as intended through our web interface. This license does not include the right to integrate our core logic into your own applications or use our brand name to mislead the public about your relationship with us. Any unauthorized use of our intellectual property may result in the immediate termination of your access and potential legal action to protect our proprietary rights. We respect the intellectual property of others and expect our users to do the same when utilizing our optimization tools for their creative assets. All trademarks not owned by Image Cub that appear on this site are the property of their respective owners, who may or may not be affiliated with us. We are proud of the innovation we have brought to the browser-based tool market and will vigorously defend our creative and technical achievements. Your support through ethical use of our platform is greatly appreciated by our development team.

4. Acceptable Use & Prohibited Activities

You are granted access to our tools for lawful, ethical purposes that align with our mission of empowering creators. You expressly agree NOT to use Image Cub to:

  • Process, generate, or optimize any content that is illegal, harmful, abusive, defamatory, or infringes upon the intellectual property or privacy rights of others.
  • Engage in any activity that attempts to disrupt, overload, or damage the functionality of our website or the browsers of other users.
  • Use automated scripts, bots, or scraping mechanisms to interact with our tools in a way that exceeds reasonable human use, potentially degrading service for others.
  • Misrepresent your identity or the origin of the content you are processing.
  • Process materials related to the exploitation or harm of minors, or any other content universally condemned as illegal.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to investigate and terminate your access if we suspect a violation of these terms. We may also be obligated to report unlawful activities to the relevant authorities.

5. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

Your Responsibility for Data: You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your original files. Image Cub shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use our service, including but not limited to data loss, corruption, business interruption, or the cost of procuring substitute services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Force Majeure: We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond our reasonable control (e.g., natural disasters, internet outages, war).

6. Termination of Access

You may stop using our services at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Image Cub platform immediately, without prior notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms of Service, engaged in fraudulent or abusive conduct, or if required to do so by law. Upon termination, your right to use our services ceases immediately.

7. Third-Party Links & Services
