These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you (the "User" or "you") and Obvious Bubbles LDA, a private limited company incorporated in Portugal under NIPC 516 517 350 ("Obvious Bubbles", "we", "us" or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website and web application provided under the name Restore Old Photos App (the "Service"). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you confirm you have read, understood and agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use the Service, in line with Article 8 GDPR and Portuguese law. By accepting these Terms you represent that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
The Service offers AI‑assisted digital restoration of photographs. You upload an image, we process it using a combination of proprietary and third‑party artificial‑intelligence models, and we return a restored version. The Service is provided on an "as‑is" and "as‑available" basis. We do not guarantee any particular aesthetic or forensic result, nor that any specific defect (e.g. severe tears, missing regions, heavy blur) will be perfectly reconstructed.
You sign in via a one‑time magic link sent by email. You must:
You are responsible for all activity under your account.
You agree not to upload, transmit, generate or attempt to generate any material that:
You further agree not to use the Service to process photographs of other people where you do not have the legal basis to do so.
Reports. If you encounter material on the Service that violates these rules, please report it immediately to [email protected]. We review reports promptly and cooperate with the competent authorities. We report confirmed child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to Portuguese law enforcement and, where required, to NCMEC.
Enforcement. We may suspend or terminate your account, remove content, and refuse service, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. We may preserve data we reasonably believe is evidence of a crime.
You retain all ownership rights in the photographs you upload and in the restored outputs the Service generates for you. You represent and warrant that:
You grant Obvious Bubbles a worldwide, royalty‑free, non‑exclusive license to host, store, process, transmit, and display your photographs and restored outputs strictly for the purpose of operating the Service for you (including fallback processing by the sub‑processors listed in our Privacy Policy). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except as necessary for backup rotation or to comply with legal obligations.
We will never use your photographs to train artificial‑intelligence models, ours or a third party's, beyond the immediate restoration you request.
The Service, including its source code, user interface, trademarks, designs, text, logos, typography, and compilation of content, is owned by Obvious Bubbles LDA or its licensors and is protected by Portuguese, EU, and international intellectual property law. Except for the limited rights these Terms grant you to use the Service, no rights are transferred. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the Service without our prior written consent.
Registered users receive a limited number of free restorations. Beyond that, the Service offers two recurring subscription plans (Family and Pro), each available on monthly or yearly billing. Current pricing is displayed in the in‑app paywall. Prices are in USD and include applicable VAT where we are required to collect it.
Billing. Payments are processed by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. on our behalf. By subscribing, you authorise Stripe and us to charge your chosen payment method for the recurring subscription fee, any applicable taxes, and any one‑off purchases you initiate.
Auto‑renewal and cancellation. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. You may cancel at any time from the in‑app account page or by emailing [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no pro‑rata refund is provided for the unused portion unless required by applicable law.
Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, we may suspend paid features until the payment is resolved. Repeated failure may result in downgrade to the free tier.
Fair use of "unlimited" plans. Where a paid plan is described as offering "unlimited" restorations, that means unlimited for ordinary personal and household use, that is, restoring photographs from your own family albums, archives, or those you have permission to process. We reserve the right to apply reasonable rate limits, queue lower-priority processing, suspend, or downgrade an account where we determine, acting reasonably, that usage patterns indicate: (i) automated or scripted access not initiated by a human user; (ii) commercial resale of the Service or its outputs to third parties without a separate written agreement with us; (iii) volumes materially inconsistent with personal or household use (for example, sustained processing of tens of thousands of unique images per month); or (iv) any attempt to circumvent fair-use measures. Where reasonably practicable, we will notify you before taking such action and give you an opportunity to discuss your use case, including by emailing [email protected] to arrange a custom plan.
If you are a consumer domiciled in the European Union, you normally have a 14‑day right of withdrawal from distance contracts under Directive 2011/83/EU and Portuguese Decree‑Law 24/2014. However, because the Service consists of digital content that is supplied and consumed immediately (each restoration is performed on demand and made available to you right away), you expressly request performance during the withdrawal period and acknowledge that, in accordance with Article 16(m) of the Directive, you lose the right of withdrawal once performance has begun with your prior express consent. For subscriptions that have not yet been used to perform any restoration, you may still withdraw within 14 days for a full refund.
Except as expressly set out in these Terms and to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non‑infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error‑free, free of harmful components, or that the results of any restoration will meet your expectations.
AI‑generated outputs may contain artefacts or inaccuracies. Do not rely on restored images for forensic, legal, medical, or identification purposes.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or gross negligence, nor any statutory rights you have as a consumer under Portuguese or EU law that cannot be waived.
You agree to indemnify and hold Obvious Bubbles, its directors, employees, and agents harmless from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to (a) content you upload or actions you take through the Service in breach of these Terms, (b) your violation of any applicable law, or (c) your violation of any third‑party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights.
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from the in‑app account page. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you materially breach these Terms, or with 30 days' notice for any other reason. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5 to 6, 9 to 13) will survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Portugal, without regard to conflict‑of‑law rules. The courts of the district of the registered office of Obvious Bubbles LDA in Portugal have non‑exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, subject to any mandatory jurisdiction afforded to consumers by their law of residence.
Consumers in the EU may also use the European Online Dispute Resolution platform available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Material changes will be notified to signed‑in users by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account.
