Terms of Service Agreement

1. Agreement TL;DR

This Agreement covers what you're agreeing to when you use Yours to Color: your responsibility for the photos you upload, what we do with them, how orders and payment work, and what happens if you or we end the relationship. See our Privacy Policy for how we collect, use, and retain your data.

Please note that your use of the website, or the tools or services accessed from the website, denotes your acceptance of this Terms of Service Agreement.

2. What You Are Agreeing To

By uploading photos to the Service, you confirm, represent, and warrant that:

• You own or hold all necessary intellectual property rights, licenses, and permissions for every photo you upload.
• You have obtained explicit consent from every identifiable person depicted in your uploaded photos (or from a parent or legal guardian for any minor under 18 years of age) to submit their image to the Service.
• You grant Yours to Color LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to process, transform, and host your uploaded photos solely for the purpose of generating line art, assembling your preview, and rendering your custom coloring product.

3. Use of the Site

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service for its intended purpose: uploading your own photos and turning them into a custom coloring book. The Service (including its design, software, and all content on it other than what you upload) belongs to us or our licensors. You may not copy, reproduce, or create derivative works from any part of the Service outside of what this Agreement allows.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features of the Service at any time. We don't guarantee the Service will be available without interruption or free of errors.

Your use of the Service must comply with all applicable laws. §5 (Prohibited Content & Conduct) below sets out specific rules of conduct; violating them may result in losing access to the Service.

4. What We Do With Your Photos

We use automated image-processing and artificial intelligence tools to convert your uploaded photos into line art, assemble the pages into a custom coloring product, and show you a watermarked preview. See our Privacy Policy for how your photos are processed and by whom, and how long we keep them.

5. Prohibited Content & Conduct

You agree not to upload photos or content that:

• Is sexually explicit, or whose sole purpose is sexual arousal.
• Depicts or exploits a minor in any sexual or otherwise exploitative context, regardless of consent claimed.
• Shows graphic violence, real depictions of death or gore, or cruelty to people or animals.
• Threatens, harasses, or promotes discrimination or violence against people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, or immigration status.
• Is illegal to create, possess, or distribute, or instructs or encourages a crime.
• Infringes any third party's copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights.
• Contains malware, viruses, or code intended to disrupt or compromise the Service.

We reserve the right to refuse processing, remove any uploaded content, or terminate access immediately and without prior notice if these guidelines are violated.

6. Purchases & Refunds

Orders are paid at checkout through our payment processor. Pricing, sales tax, and shipping are shown before you confirm an order.

Each order is manufactured specifically for you once it's submitted; once your order enters production and can no longer be cancelled, modified, or refunded, except as set out below.

Because each book is printed on demand, we don't accept returns of physical books. If your book arrives damaged, contact us with photos of the damage and we'll replace it at our discretion.

7. Term and Termination

This Agreement stays in effect for as long as you use the Service. You may stop using the Service, or request account deletion (see our Privacy Policy), at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate this Agreement, including the Prohibited Content & Conduct rules in §5 above, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Data and content retention below, Indemnification, and Limitation of Liability) continue to apply after your access ends.

Data and content retention

Our full retention schedule is documented once, in Privacy Policy § Data Retention.

An unpurchased draft, and every file that belongs to it, will be deleted 12 months after your last access to it; last access meaning you signed in, reopened it, edited it, or added it to your cart.

Once a book has been ordered at least once, its print files are retained for reorder and account history.

If you discard a draft, its files are deleted 12 months after the discard; this clock does not reset even if your account stays active.

Closing your account is permanent and removes your personal data, with statutory and financial records held back as described below.

Order and payment records (orders, order items, print records, refunds, and order history) are kept as business and financial records. Stripe remains the ledger of record for payment details.

If your account has an order that has not yet shipped, or been refunded when you request deletion, the request is queued and completes automatically once that order reaches one of those states.

8. Third-Party Websites, Software, and Services

Third-party services (our AI generation provider, our print provider, our payment processor) process data under their own policies, which Yours to Color does not control. Deletion on our end applies to our own storage only.

9. Intellectual Property

The Yours to Color name, logo, site design, and software are owned by us or our licensors. The license you grant us over your own uploaded photos is described in §2 above and does not give us any ownership of them; the license you receive to use the Service is described in §3 above and doesn't give you any ownership of it.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Yours to Color LLC, our affiliates, and our officers, employees, and agents harmless from any claims, damages, losses, and reasonable costs (including attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your breach of this Agreement, including the rules in §2 and §5 above; (b) the photos and content you upload; or (c) your use of the Service.

If you lose the rights you need to grant us the license in §2 above, or receive a claim relating to content you've uploaded, you must promptly remove that content and reimburse us for any refund we issue as a result.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free, or secure, or that any defects will be corrected. Your use of the service is at your own risk.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so this disclaimer may not fully apply to you.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Yours to Color LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim arising out of this Agreement or the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow this kind of limitation, so this limitation may not fully apply to you.

13. Ideas, Suggestions & Requests

If you send us product ideas or suggestions, you agree we can use them without any obligation to you, and any rights to those ideas become ours. If you want to keep rights to an idea, don't send it to us without our prior written agreement.
