These Terms apply to all users of the Service, including visitors, registered users, and paying customers. By creating an account through any method (including email registration, Google OAuth, or other third-party authentication services) or using our Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years old or have parental consent and that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

PureCut provides AI-powered background removal services for digital images. Our Service allows you to:
- Upload images for background removal processing

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, with reasonable notice to users.
3. User Accounts and Registration
Account Creation
To access certain features, you must create an account by providing accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
Account Responsibilities
You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.
Account Termination
You may terminate your account at any time through your account settings. We may terminate or suspend accounts that violate these Terms.
4. Pricing and Payment Terms
Pricing Plans
We offer various pricing plans with different credit allowances. Current pricing is available on our pricing page and may be updated from time to time with reasonable notice.
Payment Processing
Payments are processed through secure third-party payment providers. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees.
Refunds
Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact our support team within 7 days of processing if you're unsatisfied with results. Unused credits from cancelled subscriptions are not refundable.
Credit System
Credits are consumed based on image size: 1 credit for images up to 12MP, 2 credits for 12-24MP, and 4 credits for larger images. Free plan balances are topped up to 5 credits each month; if you already have 5 or more, no additional credits are added.
Unused paid-plan credits remain in your balance. When a new billing cycle begins or you upgrade mid-cycle, we only add additional credits if your current balance is lower than the monthly allowance for your plan. Downgrading never removes previously earned credits, but future monthly top-ups follow the lower plan limits.
