Terms of Service

Effective: September 18, 2026

These Terms govern swiftimg.com and its image hosting, galleries, delivery, API, CLI, SDKs, and integrations (the "Service"). The Service is operated by Tabula Rasa Development, LLC, operating in New York, United States ("we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account, uploading content, subscribing, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The essentials

1. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 and meet any higher minimum age required by local law. If you are below the age of legal adulthood, your parent or guardian must agree to these Terms and supervise your use. If you act for an organization, you must have authority to bind it.

Provide accurate account and billing information. Protect passwords, API keys, signed links, and team access, and tell us promptly about suspected unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity you authorize and for your team and applications following these Terms.

2. Commercial use requires Business

You must maintain an active Business account to use the Service for commercial purposes. Free, Pro, and Developer accounts are for personal and non-commercial use only. A paid Pro or Developer subscription does not grant commercial-use permission.

Commercial use includes hosting or delivering images for a business website or app, online store, paid or client work, advertising or marketing, monetized or sponsored content, or an organization's internal business operations. This applies even if your project has not earned revenue. Personal projects, hobbies, and non-commercial learning or development may use the other plans. Simply viewing someone else's public images does not require a Business account.

The account hosting commercial content must be on Business; a team member's separate subscription does not change that requirement. Upgrade before starting commercial use. If you downgrade or your Business subscription ends, stop commercial hosting and delivery. We may restrict non-compliant use, but will not automatically enroll you in a more expensive plan without your authorization. Business accounts remain subject to all content rules and usage limits.

3. Prohibited content and conduct

These rules apply to every plan, anonymous uploads, public and private content, metadata, galleries, and uploads through any interface. Do not upload, store, embed, distribute, or link through the Service to:

Do not bypass authentication, privacy controls, moderation, billing, rate limits, or account limits; create accounts or rotate keys to evade restrictions; disrupt the Service; or access others' accounts or private content without permission. Do not resell access to the Service itself without our written agreement. Automation using our documented API, CLI, SDKs, and integrations is allowed within your plan and these Terms.

4. Your content and our service

You retain ownership of your content. You confirm that you have the rights, licenses, and permissions needed to upload, process, and share it, including any necessary permission from people depicted. Public availability does not give other people a copyright license or make content free to reuse.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, copy, transform, transmit, and display your content only as needed to operate and provide the Service, follow your sharing settings, prevent abuse, and comply with law. We may allow service providers to do this on our behalf. This does not grant us a general right to sell your content, use it in advertising, or train AI models on it. The license ends when your content is removed from our systems, except for legally required retention and temporary backup copies handled under our Privacy Policy.

We and our licensors retain rights in the Service, branding, and software, subject to any applicable open-source licenses. These Terms grant access to the Service, not ownership of it.

5. Public content and gallery privacy

Public content can be viewed, linked, downloaded, indexed, and copied by others. Private access depends on your settings, plan, team permissions, and any access links you share. Keep those links secure. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.

Images in a gallery inherit that gallery's privacy. Moving a private image into a public gallery makes it public; moving a public image into a private gallery makes it private. Changes that alter image visibility require confirmation. Changing a gallery's privacy also changes its images. Removing an image from a gallery preserves its last visibility setting. Making content private or deleting it cannot recall copies already obtained by others. Private content is still subject to these Terms and may be reviewed for abuse or legal compliance.

6. Plans, renewals, cancellation, and refunds

Features, quotas, and prices are described on Pricing and at checkout. Paid subscriptions automatically renew monthly or annually, according to your selection, until canceled. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges for the selected plan, applicable taxes, and usage charges disclosed before purchase. Base subscription fees are billed in advance; eligible storage overages are billed based on usage. You are responsible for authorized usage by your team and API keys.

Cancel future renewals through the billing controls in your account before the next renewal. Unless stated otherwise at checkout, cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period and you retain paid access until then. Contact support if you cannot access cancellation. Fees already paid are generally non-refundable and cancellation does not erase accrued usage charges, except where law or an express refund commitment requires otherwise. Nothing here limits statutory cancellation, withdrawal, or refund rights.

Monthly upload quotas reset on the first of each calendar month in UTC, independently of your billing date. Deleting images does not restore uploads already used. Storage, file-size, rate, and other limits still apply; paying for storage overages does not remove the upload cap. No plan includes unlimited resources unless expressly stated. When a plan expires or is downgraded, the new plan's feature and usage restrictions apply. We will give advance notice of paid price changes and obtain consent where required by law; changes do not retroactively alter charges already incurred.

7. Moderation, reporting, and account closure

We may review, quarantine, restrict, or remove content and suspend or close accounts for violations, nonpayment, security threats, or legal obligations. We may use automated tools and human review, but do not promise to review or detect every violation. We terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may report illegal activity and preserve or disclose information as required by law.

Where practical, we will explain restrictions and allow you to respond. Immediate action may be necessary for safety, legal, or security reasons. Report abuse or appeal a moderation decision to support@swiftimg.com, including the relevant URLs or image IDs and your explanation. Do not attach illegal imagery to a report.

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion through support. Cancel paid renewals before closing your account. Export important content first: removed or closed accounts may lose access to their files, subject to legal retention requirements and any applicable notice obligations. Accrued payment obligations and terms that by their nature must survive will continue after closure.

Send copyright complaints to support@swiftimg.com. Identify the copyrighted work, the exact URLs of the allegedly infringing material, your name and contact information, and your physical or electronic signature. Include a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or law, and a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, you are the rights holder or authorized to act for them. We may share the complaint with the uploader as necessary to handle it. If you believe removal was mistaken, contact us to contest it. Knowingly false claims can have legal consequences.

9. Availability and backups

Keep independent backups. Hosting is not a substitute for archival storage, and "permanent storage" does not mean an unconditional promise to retain files forever after an account closes or content violates these Terms. We may change features or discontinue the Service, with reasonable advance notice of material reductions to a paid service where practical and any remedies required by law. Express commitments included in your purchased plan still apply.

To the extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free delivery, or freedom from data loss. This does not override an express service-level commitment or a warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Liability and business responsibility

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, revenue, or data. Our total liability arising from the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of US $100 or the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

If you use the Service for an organization or commercial purpose, you agree to indemnify us for third-party claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs caused by your unlawful content, infringement of others' rights, or material breach of these Terms, except to the extent caused by our own wrongdoing. We will promptly notify you of such claims and reasonably cooperate in their defense. No settlement may impose an obligation or admission on us without our consent.

11. Governing law and disputes

New York law governs these Terms, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to mandatory consumer protections, disputes will be heard in state or federal courts with jurisdiction in New York, United States. If your local law gives you non-waivable protections or the right to bring a claim in your home courts, those rights remain. You may contact support to seek an informal resolution; this does not prevent you from exercising legal rights.

12. Changes and general terms

We will publish updated Terms with an effective date and give reasonable advance notice of material changes through the Service or your account email, except where a legal or urgent security need requires faster action. Changes apply prospectively. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law; we will request separate consent where required. If you disagree, stop using the Service and cancel renewals.

These Terms and any expressly agreed additional service terms form our agreement about the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot be waived under applicable law.
