Terms of Service

Last updated: May 8, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of PixelGuard, an iPhone and iPad app provided by AIXion. By downloading or using PixelGuard, you agree to these Terms.

1. Service Overview

PixelGuard is an iPhone and iPad app for iOS / iPadOS 17+ that helps you check photo information before sharing and remove privacy-risk information locally on your device. PixelGuard does not require account registration and does not upload your photos to AIXion servers. The app includes a free tier and optional Pro subscriptions.

2. Your Photos, Videos, and Cleaned Media

You keep all rights you already have in the photos, videos, metadata, cleaned copies, and other media you process with PixelGuard. AIXion does not claim ownership of your media.

You are responsible for the media you choose to process, save, replace, export, publish, or share using PixelGuard. This includes confirming that you have any required rights, permissions, and consents; keeping backups where needed; reviewing cleaned media before sharing it; and complying with applicable laws, platform rules, and third-party rights.

PixelGuard helps remove privacy-risk metadata, but it does not review your media for you and does not guarantee that any processed image, video, or cleaned copy is safe or suitable for every legal, professional, privacy, or sharing context. Except where caused by AIXion's intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or liability that cannot be excluded by law, consequences from your selection, processing, saving, publication, or sharing of media are your responsibility.

3. Eligibility and Platform Terms

You must comply with applicable laws and with Apple's platform terms when using PixelGuard. Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA) also applies in addition to these Terms: Apple Standard EULA .

4. Free Tier and Subscription Plans

PixelGuard currently offers the following plans:

• Free: remove photo information from up to 3 photos per day.
• PixelGuard Pro Monthly: USD $4.99 per month.
• PixelGuard Pro Yearly: USD $29.99 per year.

Prices may vary by country/region and tax rules. The price displayed in the App Store for your region controls.

Free tier limits are enforced on-device. Pro removes privacy-risk information from multiple photos with no app-imposed photo limit.

Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under Apple's policies. AIXion does not directly issue App Store billing refunds.

8. Privacy and Data Handling

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use PixelGuard for unlawful, abusive, or infringing activity.

• Bypass subscription limits or paid features through unauthorized methods.

All intellectual property rights in PixelGuard and related content remain with AIXion. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for personal or internal professional purposes in accordance with these Terms.

11. Disclaimer of Warranty

PixelGuard is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the maximum extent allowed by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation or complete metadata removal in every image format, iOS / iPadOS environment, or third-party sharing workflow.

12. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability caused by AIXion's intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

For claims based only on AIXion's ordinary negligence, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, AIXion is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or business opportunities arising from use of PixelGuard. For those ordinary-negligence claims, AIXion's total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the app subscription, if any, during the 12 months preceding the claim.

13. Act on Specified Commercial Transactions (Japan) Disclosure

For users in Japan, commercial disclosures required under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions are available at /tokushoho.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to PixelGuard if you materially violate these Terms or if required by law. You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it and canceling subscriptions through Apple.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or PixelGuard use shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court, unless otherwise required by mandatory consumer protection law.
