You must create an account to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.
4. Credit System and Billing
- Credits are consumed when images are processed through the pipeline. Sample previews do not consume credits.
- Subscription plans refill credits monthly on the billing cycle date. Unused credits do not roll over between billing cycles unless specified by your plan.
- Credit pack purchases are one-time additions to your balance and do not expire.
- Lifetime deal (LTD) credits refill monthly at the plan's specified rate for the lifetime of the Service.
5. Acceptable Use

- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the processing algorithms.
- Use automated tools to abuse the API beyond your plan's rate limits.
