Terms of Use

By using clearkit.sh (the “Site”), operated by the operator of ClearKit, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.

1. The service

The Site provides free browser-based tools for inspecting, removing and editing image metadata, geotagging images, and cleaning text. Processing happens on your device. Features may change or be discontinued at any time.

2. Your content and responsibilities

• You keep all rights to the files and text you process. We receive no copy and claim no license to them.
• Use the tools only with content you have the right to process. Don’t use them to break the law, infringe intellectual property, remove copyright management information where the law prohibits it, misrepresent where or when a photo was taken in order to deceive or defraud, or invade anyone’s privacy.
• Keep your originals. The Site never overwrites them, but you are responsible for your own backups and for checking outputs before relying on them.

3. No guarantees about results

The tools report what they remove, retain and verify, but they can’t detect every proprietary or unknown data block or any watermark embedded in pixels. They don’t verify C2PA signatures, and they don’t detect AI-generated text or make text undetectable.

4. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

5. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, the operator of ClearKit WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS OR PRIVACY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE. Some jurisdictions don’t allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you.

6. Third-party services

The Site may display third-party advertisements and link to third-party websites. We aren’t responsible for their content or practices.

7. Open-source components

The Site includes open-source software (including libheif under LGPL-3.0, ExifReader, UTIF.js, fflate and emoji-regex), each governed by its own license.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the operator’s place of establishment, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

9. Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
