Terms of Service

Last updated: 11 November 2026

These terms govern your use of Shapesoda — the website, editor, API and MCP server, including the Shapesoda app in AI chats (together, the “Service”) operated by Individual Entrepreneur Ali Mameday, 15 Pavstos Buzand St, Kentron district, Yerevan 0018, Armenia (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms for it.

1. The Service

Shapesoda converts raster images (PNG, JPEG, WebP, BMP, GIF and TIFF) into vector graphics (SVG and other formats) and lets you edit the result. You can try tracing and editing without an account; downloading results from the website requires an account and uses credits or a plan (the MCP server also offers a few free images a month without an account, see section 6). We may change, improve or discontinue features; we will give reasonable notice of changes that materially reduce what you have paid for.

2. Your account

• You sign in with your email address (one-time code) or with Google, including when an AI app asks you to connect your account. Keep access to your email, your API keys and your connected apps secure — you are responsible for activity under your account and keys.
• One person may not create multiple accounts to obtain additional free credits. Accounts and personal plans are for one person and may not be shared.
• You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service.

3. Plans and payment

• Personal plan (Unlimited). Unlimited vectorization and downloads in the web app, billed weekly (every 7 days) or monthly; the price and the billing period are shown before you pay. It is for one person and does not include API access. It also works in AI chats (ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP clients) when you connect your account by signing in, for your own interactive use; MCP calls made with an API key use credits instead. “Unlimited” means no per-image charges and no monthly quota. To keep the Service fast for everyone and to prevent abuse, a fair-use cap of 500 images per day applies to each account, shared between the web app and AI chats, and unusual automated volume may be rate-limited. We will not lower this cap during a period you have already paid for.
• API plan. A monthly subscription with the number of credits you choose; one credit is one successfully vectorized image through the API, the MCP server or the website. Credits are added at each renewal and are used before any other credits on your account. Unused plan credits roll over, up to five times your monthly amount; credits above that limit are not added. Plan credits expire when the plan ends (after you cancel, at the end of the period you have paid for). If you change the number of credits in your plan, the new amount and price apply from your next renewal; no credits are added or charged for the rest of the current period.
• Free test mode and previews. The API has a free test mode, whose results carry a watermark and are for integration testing only, and a free low-resolution preview. They are subject to daily limits and use no credits.
• Without a plan, a download uses one credit. New accounts may receive a free credit, once per mailbox. Re-downloading the same image within the period shown in the Service is free.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, at the price then in effect, until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in your account; the plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, and no further payments are taken.
• We may change subscription prices. A new price applies to you only from a renewal at least 30 days after we notify you by email; if you do not agree, you can cancel before that renewal.
• Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle processes your payment, calculates and collects any applicable sales tax or VAT, and handles billing questions and returns; its own buyer terms also apply to your purchase. Prices are shown on our pricing page and at checkout.
• Refunds are described in our Refund Policy. Credits cannot be exchanged for cash. If processing fails on our side, the credit is returned automatically.
• You can set your own monthly spending limit in your account; neither the Service nor anyone using your API key can spend beyond it.

4. Your content

• You keep all rights to the images you upload and to the results you download. You give us only a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, process and transmit your images and results solely to provide the Service to you, which ends when they are deleted.
• You confirm you have the right to use the images you upload and that processing them does not infringe anyone else’s rights.
• We process images in memory and keep them only briefly, as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not use your images to train models.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• upload content that is illegal, infringes intellectual property or privacy rights, or depicts the sexual abuse of minors;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code, models, algorithms or parameters of the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
• systematically collect or scrape outputs of the Service, or use outputs, to build, train or improve a competing product, dataset or machine-learning model;
• resell, sublicense or provide the API or MCP server to third parties as a standalone or white-labelled service without our written permission (building your own product that uses the API for your end users is allowed);
• circumvent rate limits, quotas, bot protection, credit accounting or other security measures, or create accounts in bulk;
• interfere with or overload the Service, probe it for vulnerabilities without permission, or access other users’ data.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these rules. Where reasonable, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond.

6. API and MCP server

• API access requires an API key from your account. Keys are personal to your account; revoke a key immediately if it may have leaked.
• The MCP server can be used with an API key, with your account connected to an AI app by signing in and pressing Allow (OAuth), or without an account for a small number of free images a day. The current free limits are shown in the documentation and may change.
• API and MCP use is subject to rate limits, daily caps and file-size and resolution limits described in the documentation, and uses the same credits as the website.
• If you connect the Service to an AI agent, an AI app or another automated tool, you are responsible for the actions that tool takes with your key or connected account, within the spending limit you set. You can disconnect an app at any time in your account settings.
• We may change or retire API and MCP endpoints. For a paid API plan we will give at least 30 days’ notice of breaking changes, except where a faster change is needed for security or required by law.
• AI chats. When you use Shapesoda inside an AI app such as ChatGPT or Claude, that app is provided by its own operator under its own terms; we are responsible only for the Shapesoda part. We receive the image you share (in ChatGPT, through a one-time download link to the file you attached) and the settings, not your conversation. Nothing is sold inside the chat: plans are bought on our website.

7. Availability and warranties

We work to keep the Service reliable, but it is provided “as is” and “as available”. Vectorisation is automatic and may not be perfect for every image; check results before relying on them. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

8. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 50 if greater. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your statutory rights as a consumer. If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK, we are also liable under the statutory rules for breach of essential obligations of this agreement, limited to the damage typically foreseeable when the agreement was made.

9. Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time in your account settings. Deleting your account cancels your subscriptions immediately, with no further charges; refunds follow the Refund Policy. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms or if required by law. Unused credits are not refunded on termination for breach. If we end your access for any other reason, or discontinue the Service, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice where possible and refund the unused part of any subscription period you have paid for.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example to reflect changes in the Service or in the law. If changes are significant, we will notify you by email or in the Service at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you can cancel your subscription or delete your account before then; continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated terms. Changes do not apply retroactively to periods you have already paid for.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Armenia, and disputes are subject to the courts of Yerevan, Armenia, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rights in your country of residence.

12. General

• These terms, the Privacy Policy and the Refund Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
• If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
• You may not transfer your account or your rights under these terms without our consent. We may transfer them to a successor running the Service, provided your rights under these terms are not reduced.
• If we do not enforce a term right away, we do not give up the right to enforce it later.
• To report content that infringes your rights, email [email protected] with your contact details, the work you claim is infringed, the result link or other information identifying the content, a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised, and a statement that your notice is accurate. We will remove or disable access to the content and may close the accounts of repeat infringers. Other notices can be sent to the same address.
