Terms of Service

Welcome to Imperial V3

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Imperial V3's image hosting services, website, API, and related applications (collectively, the "Services"). By creating an account or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our Services.

1. Account Registration and Eligibility

1.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use our Services. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian.

1.2 Account Security

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your password and API keys
• All activities that occur under your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access

1.3 Account Accuracy

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update this information as necessary.

2. Use of Services

2.1 License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use our Services for your personal or commercial purposes.

2.2 Your Content

You retain all ownership rights to the images and content you upload ("Your Content"). By uploading content to our Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to:

• Store, process, and deliver Your Content
• Create backups and copies for redundancy and performance
• Use metadata for analytics and service improvement

This license ends when you delete Your Content from our Services.

Where you use the URL upload feature to fetch and store content from an external source, you are solely responsible for ensuring you have the right to import, store, and share that content. We are not liable for content ingested via URL upload.

You may set individual uploads to automatically expire after a chosen period (1, 3, 7, 14, or 30 days). Expired uploads are moved to Trash and permanently deleted thereafter. We are not responsible for content lost due to a user-configured expiry.

2.3 Restrictions

You may not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from our Services
• Use our Services to violate any laws or regulations
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of our Services
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other user accounts
• Use our Services to transmit malware, viruses, or malicious code
• Resell or redistribute our Services without written permission

3. Billing and Payments

3.1 Access Plans

Paid tiers of our Services are offered through time-based access keys. Pricing and features are described on our Pricing page. Keys are sold via SellAuth and grant access for a fixed period (e.g., 30 days) from the date of redemption.

3.2 Purchasing Access

When you purchase an access key:

• Payment is a one-time charge processed by SellAuth — there are no recurring charges
• Your access period begins when you redeem the key in your account settings
• All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or stated in these Terms
• You are responsible for all applicable taxes

3.3 Refunds

Because access keys are delivered digitally and grant immediate access upon redemption, all purchases are final and non-refundable unless required by applicable law. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at [email protected].

3.4 Access Expiry

Access keys expire after their stated period. Upon expiry your account reverts to the Free tier. Your content is not deleted at expiry — only paid-tier features become unavailable. You may purchase a new key at any time to restore access.

4. Content Guidelines and Prohibited Use

You may not upload, store, or share content that:

• Violates any laws or regulations
• Infringes on intellectual property rights of others
• Contains malware, viruses, or harmful code
• Depicts or promotes illegal activities
• Constitutes spam, phishing, or deceptive content
• Violates our Acceptable Use Policy

We reserve the right to remove content that violates these guidelines and to suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly violate our policies.

5. Service Availability and Support

5.1 Uptime

We strive to maintain 99.99% uptime, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance will be announced in advance when possible.

5.2 Support

Support levels vary by plan. Business plan users receive priority support with faster response times.

6. Intellectual Property

The Services, including all software, designs, graphics, and trademarks, are owned by Imperial V3 and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

"Imperial" and our logo are trademarks of Imperial V3. You may not use our trademarks without prior written permission.

7. Termination

7.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your account at any time through your account settings.

7.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your account if you:

• Violate these Terms or our other policies
• Fail to pay fees when due (after the grace period)
• Engage in fraudulent or illegal activity
• Pose a security or legal risk to us or other users

7.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately. Your Content will enter a 7-day grace period, after which it may be permanently deleted.

8. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

8.1 Service "As Is"

Our Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
