Terms of Service

These terms apply when you use Paper Animator ("we") at paperanimator.org. By using the service you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

The service

Paper Animator is a browser-based tool that turns pictures and text into paper-style animations. Editing, previewing and downloading with a watermark are free and need no account. We may change, add or remove features, and we will give reasonable notice of significant changes where we can.

Accounts

You need an account to remove watermarks or buy anything. You must be at least 13, or the minimum age required in your country. You are responsible for what happens under your account, so let us know at support@paperanimator.org if you think someone else has accessed it.

Your content

You keep all rights to the pictures and text you use, and to the animations you make. Clean exports can be used for personal and commercial projects. Your content is processed on your device and is not uploaded to us. You are responsible for having the rights to whatever you use.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use content that is illegal, or that infringes someone's copyright, trademark or privacy.
• Create content that sexualizes minors, harasses people, or impersonates someone to deceive others.
• Remove or hide the watermark on free downloads, other than through the paid options.
• Get around credits, payments or usage limits, including by creating multiple accounts to collect free credits.
• Attack, overload or reverse engineer the service.

Credits

One credit removes the watermark from one picture. After that you can save that picture in any format as often as you like until you change it. A changed picture counts as a new one.

New accounts may receive free welcome credits. These are limited per network and expire after a set period.

Credits from a pack last 2 years from purchase. Credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged for money, except as described under Refunds.

Unlimited plan

The Unlimited plan costs $8.99 per month and renews automatically until you cancel. While it is active your exports have no watermark and use no credits. Prices are shown before you pay, and we will tell you before changing the price of an active plan.

You can cancel anytime in Settings under Billing. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for, and you will not be charged again. If a renewal payment ultimately fails, the plan ends.

Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. Prices are in US dollars. Taxes may apply depending on where you live.

Refunds

• Credit packs. If you have not used any credits from a pack, you can ask for a full refund within 7 days of purchase.
• Unlimited plan. Cancelling stops future charges. We do not refund a billing period that has already started.
• Mistakes. If you were charged in error, or a technical problem on our side stopped you from getting what you paid for, contact us and we will put it right.

To ask for a refund, email support@paperanimator.org. Nothing here limits refund rights you have under the law where you live.

Our rights

The Paper Animator software, site, templates and branding belong to us. Using the service does not give you any rights to them beyond these terms.

Suspension and closing your account

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. You can stop using the service at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account by email. Unused credits are lost when an account is closed for breaking these terms or at your request.

Disclaimer

The service is provided "as is". We do not promise that it will always be available, error free, or work on every device or browser.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we will update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes we will also let you know through the service. Continuing to use the service means you accept the new terms.
