Terms of Service

1. Who we are

SketchWish ("SketchWish", "we", "us") is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY]. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and [LEGAL ENTITY].

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use SketchWish, and at least 18 to purchase credits or a subscription. If you are between 13 and 18, you may use the service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

3. Your account

You sign in through Google. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account and for keeping your Google credentials secure. Notify us promptly at hello@sketchwish.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

4. Credits, purchases, and refunds

SketchWish runs on credits. New accounts receive a small number of free trial credits. Each generation consumes credits based on the output resolution you select, and the cost is shown before you generate.

• Credits have no cash value, are not transferable, and cannot be exchanged for money.
• If a generation fails on our side, the credits for it are automatically returned to your balance.
• Purchased credits and subscription fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law. If something has gone wrong, contact us — we would rather fix it than argue about it.
• We may change pricing prospectively. Changes never apply retroactively to credits you have already purchased.

5. Your images and AI processing

You keep the rights to the images you upload. We do not claim ownership of your photos, and uploading to SketchWish does not transfer any ownership to us.

To actually produce a sketch, we need a narrow, temporary permission. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, copy, transmit, and process your uploaded images solely for the purpose of operating the service for you — that is, generating your sketch, storing your generation history, and delivering your downloads.

This licence exists only for as long as we need it to provide the service, and it ends when you delete the relevant image or your account. It does not permit us to use your images to advertise SketchWish, to train AI models, or to sell or license them to anyone. We do not do those things.

Generating a sketch requires sending your image to our AI processing provider. See our Privacy Policy for the specific third parties involved and what they may do with the data.

You are responsible for having the right to upload what you upload. Do not upload images you do not own or have permission to use, and do not upload images of other people without their consent.

6. Your generated sketches

As between you and us, you own the sketches you generate from your own images, subject to your having paid any applicable credits and to your compliance with these Terms.

Note that AI-generated output may not be eligible for copyright protection in some jurisdictions, and that similar inputs can produce similar outputs for different users. We cannot and do not guarantee that your output is unique.

Watermarks and Pro accounts

Free accounts receive watermarked downloads. Accounts with an active Pro entitlement receive clean, unwatermarked downloads at the resolution generated. Removing, obscuring, or circumventing the watermark on a free download — including by technical means — is a breach of these Terms.

7. AI-generated content — what we do and do not promise

Every sketch produced by SketchWish is generated by an artificial intelligence model, not drawn by a human artist. We say this plainly because you are entitled to know how the output is made before you rely on it or publish it.

AI output is probabilistic. The same photo can produce different results on different runs, and the model can misread faces, hands, text, proportions, or fine detail. It may drop features you considered important, invent detail that was not in your photo, or simply produce a result you do not like.

All generated output is provided on an "as-is" basis. We do not warrant that it will be accurate, faithful to your original photo, free of artefacts, fit for any particular purpose, or of any particular artistic quality. We make no guarantee of perfection and none should be inferred from our marketing, our examples, or any sample images shown on this site. Examples are illustrative of the kind of result the tool can produce, not a promise of the result you will get.

You are responsible for reviewing output before you use it — especially anywhere accuracy matters, such as identification, journalism, legal or medical contexts, or any use where a viewer might reasonably take the image to be a photograph. If you publish or distribute a generated image, we encourage you to disclose that it is AI-generated.

Spending credits pays for the generation attempt, not for a result that meets your expectations. See section 4 for how failed generations are handled.

8. Copyright, DMCA, and takedown requests

You are solely responsible for the content you upload to SketchWish. By uploading, you represent and warrant that you own the image or otherwise have all rights and permissions necessary to upload it and to have it processed, and that doing so does not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, publicity, or privacy rights.

We do not pre-screen uploads and we do not monitor what users convert. SketchWish operates as a service provider hosting content at the direction of its users, and we intend to act consistently with the safe harbour provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent laws elsewhere.

Reporting infringement

If you believe content on SketchWish infringes your copyright, send a notice to legal@sketchwish.com including:

• a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorised to act for them;
• identification of the work you claim has been infringed;
• identification of the material you are asking us to remove, with enough detail for us to locate it;
• your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.

We will investigate promptly and remove or disable access to material we determine to be infringing.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address with your contact details, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed in error.

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the rights of others.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to use SketchWish to:

• create sexual content involving minors, or any content that sexualises a real person without their consent;
• harass, defame, impersonate, or create deceptive imagery of a real person;
• infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, or privacy rights;
• generate content that is unlawful in your jurisdiction or ours;
• circumvent credit limits, watermarking, rate limits, or authentication;
• scrape, resell, or provide access to the service as your own product without a written agreement with us.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, and we may do so without notice where the violation is serious.

10. Availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of SketchWish at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to give notice of material changes that affect paid features. The service is provided on an "as available" basis and we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation.

11. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SketchWish is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that output will meet your expectations or be error-free.

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

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data, arising out of or related to these Terms or the service.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty US dollars (US$50).

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [LEGAL ENTITY] from claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs arising from your uploads, your generated content, or your breach of these Terms — except to the extent the claim arises from our own wrongdoing.

14. Binding arbitration and class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to bring a lawsuit in court and to participate in a class action.

Informal resolution first

Before starting a formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at hello@sketchwish.com and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally. Most problems are resolved at this step, and it costs neither of us anything.

Agreement to arbitrate

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and [LEGAL ENTITY] agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by [ARBITRATION FORUM] under its then-current consumer arbitration rules, rather than in court. The arbitrator, and not any court, has authority to decide the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.

Exceptions

This agreement to arbitrate does not apply to:

• claims that qualify for small-claims court in your jurisdiction, which either of us may bring there instead;
• claims for injunctive relief relating to intellectual property or unauthorised access to the service.

Class-action waiver

You and [LEGAL ENTITY] agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim — and only that claim — will proceed in court.

Your right to opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hello@sketchwish.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including the email address on your account. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms, and it will not affect your access to the service in any way.

Costs

Arbitration fees will be governed by the rules of [ARBITRATION FORUM] applicable to consumer disputes. Where those rules require it, we will pay the filing and administrative fees.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Where arbitration does not apply, the courts of [JURISDICTION] will have exclusive jurisdiction — except that consumers resident in the EU, UK, or other jurisdictions with mandatory consumer-protection venue rules retain any rights those rules give them.

16. Language

17. Termination

You may stop using SketchWish and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including content licences already granted, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and arbitration — survive.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will give reasonable notice before it takes effect, such as by email or an in-app notice. Continuing to use SketchWish after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the service and contact us about any unused credits.
