Terms of Service

Last updated: 13 July 2026

These Terms govern your access to and use of Snipbud, an image upload and sharing service operated by apoiolabs ("apoiolabs", "we", "us", or "our"). Please read them carefully. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms.

Plain-language summary (not a substitute for the full text): you own the images you upload; you are responsible for what you upload and share; do not upload illegal or infringing content; public links are visible to anyone who has them; paid plans renew until cancelled; the Service is provided "as is". The sections below control if there is any conflict with this summary.

1. Agreement to these Terms

By registering for, accessing, or using Snipbud (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf, and "you" refers to that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Definitions

Service: the Snipbud website, dashboard, application programming interfaces, and any companion applications (including the macOS app).
Account: the credentials and profile you use to access the Service.
Team (or Organization): a shared workspace with one or more members and a shared library.
Content: images and any other material you upload, store, or share through the Service, together with associated metadata.
Shared link: a URL that serves an image, which may be public or restricted depending on the image's visibility.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country if higher, to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that your use does not violate any law or regulation that applies to you.

4. Accounts and security

To use most features you must create an Account with a valid email address and a password. During signup we send a verification code to your email; you must enter it to confirm the address. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account and for keeping your password confidential. Passwords are stored only in hashed form and we cannot recover them for you.
Notify us promptly at the contact address below if you suspect unauthorized use of your Account.
You may not share your Account, sell it, or transfer it except through features we provide (for example, transferring ownership of a Team).
One person or entity may not maintain more than one free Account for the purpose of evading limits.

5. Teams and roles

A Team provides a shared library that its members can contribute to and view. Team members hold roles (Owner, Admin, Member, or Viewer) that determine what they can do. The Owner controls billing and may transfer ownership to another active member. Team invitations are tied to a specific email address and require the recipient to verify that address; where a Team is created with a custom email domain, invitations may be restricted to addresses on that domain. Content uploaded in a Team context belongs to the Team library and is governed by the Team's settings and plan.

6. Your content and ownership

You retain all ownership rights you have in your Content. We do not claim ownership of your Content. You are solely responsible for the Content you upload and for ensuring you have all rights necessary to upload, store, and share it through the Service.

7. License you grant us

To operate the Service, you grant apoiolabs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, and create technical modifications of your Content (for example, generating thumbnails, transcoding, or applying watermarking where the feature is enabled) solely as needed to provide, secure, and improve the Service and to serve your Content to the people and links you designate. This license ends when your Content is deleted from the Service, except for residual copies retained for a limited period in backups or as required by law, and except for Content you have made public that others have already copied.

8. Visibility and shared links

Each image has a visibility setting. A public image can be viewed by anyone who has its link, without signing in, and may be cached or indexed by third parties outside our control. A private image is served only to its owner (and, for Team images, to the Team according to its settings). You are responsible for choosing the appropriate visibility. Do not treat a public link as secret. Deleting an image removes it from our systems, but copies that others have already downloaded, cached, or reshared may persist.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to upload, store, share, or link to Content, or to engage in conduct, that:

is unlawful, or infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property, privacy, or other right of any person;
depicts child sexual abuse material or the sexual exploitation of minors (we report such material to the appropriate authorities and terminate the Account immediately);
is harassing, defamatory, threatening, or incites violence, or promotes discrimination or hatred against protected groups;
contains malware, or is used for phishing, fraud, or to distribute unsolicited bulk messages (spam);
violates the privacy of others, including sharing intimate images without consent or exposing others' personal data;
attempts to probe, scan, or breach the security of the Service, to bypass rate limits, quotas, or bot protection, or to access data not intended for you;
imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure, uses the Service as a general-purpose file host or content delivery network in a manner inconsistent with its intended use, or resells the Service without authorization;
uses automated means to access the Service other than through interfaces we provide.

We may remove Content or restrict access that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, with or without notice.

10. Copyright and takedowns

We respect intellectual property rights and expect users to do the same. If you believe Content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to the contact address below that includes: identification of the copyrighted work; the URL or enough detail to locate the allegedly infringing Content; your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act; and your physical or electronic signature. We may remove the Content and, where appropriate, terminate repeat infringers.

11. Plans, billing and renewals

The Service offers a free plan and paid plans (for example, Pro and Max) with different storage, upload size, retention, and feature limits. Paid Team plans may be billed per active seat.

Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider (PayPal). We do not store your full payment card details.
Paid plans are offered on a recurring subscription basis (monthly or annual) and automatically renew at the then-current price until cancelled. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges.
Prices are shown at checkout and may exclude taxes, which are added where required. We may change prices on a prospective basis with notice; changes take effect at your next renewal.
If a payment fails or a subscription lapses, paid features may be downgraded to the free plan, which can trigger the retention rules in Section 13.

12. Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel a subscription at any time; cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep paid features until then. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial periods, unused storage, or downgrades. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us and we will review it in good faith.

13. Free plan and retention

Images uploaded under the free plan may be automatically deleted after a defined retention window (for example, 30 days from upload). Upgrading to a paid plan removes this expiry for eligible images while the plan is active; downgrading or lapsing to the free plan may re-apply it. It is your responsibility to keep your own copies of important Content. We are not liable for Content deleted in accordance with the applicable plan's retention policy.

14. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the Service available and reliable, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. We may impose or adjust limits on storage, file sizes, upload rates, and other usage to protect the Service.

15. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your Account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, remove Content, or close your Account if you breach these Terms, if required by law, to protect the Service or other users, or if your Account is inactive for an extended period. On termination, your right to use the Service ends and we may delete your Content, subject to Section 13 and applicable law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and governing law) will survive.

16. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service and all content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that Content will be preserved without loss, or that defects will be corrected. You use the Service at your own risk and are responsible for maintaining backups of your Content.

17. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, apoiolabs and its officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or Content, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the Service, even if advised of the possibility. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amounts you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or fifty United States dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

18. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless apoiolabs from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected with your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

19. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Philippines, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You and apoiolabs agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the Philippines for any dispute that is not subject to arbitration or a small-claims process, except that either party may seek injunctive relief to protect its intellectual property or confidential information in any competent court. Nothing here deprives consumers of protections that cannot be waived under the mandatory law of their country of residence.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you through the Service or by email. Changes take effect when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

21. General

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and apoiolabs regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the unenforceable provision is modified to the minimum extent necessary.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
