Terms and Conditions
Last updated: September 9, 2025
The Ground Rules
Nobody likes reading terms and conditions, but they're important. We've tried to make ours as straightforward as possible. By using Stichbe, you're agreeing to play by these rules.
1. Acceptance of Terms
When you use Stichbe, you're agreeing to these terms. It's that simple. If something here doesn't work for you, then unfortunately our service might not be the right fit.
These rules apply to everyone who uses our site – whether you're just browsing around or actively enhancing images.
2. Description of Service
Stichbe is a free AI-powered image upscaler that works right in your browser. We use artificial intelligence to make your images bigger and sharper without the usual blurriness you get from traditional resizing.
Everything happens on your device – we don't see or store your images, which keeps your photos private.
We might need to update, change, or temporarily shut down the service for maintenance. We'll try to give you a heads up when possible, but sometimes tech stuff happens unexpectedly.
3. Acceptable Use
What you can do: Use Stichbe for personal projects, business needs, or any legitimate purpose. Enhance your own photos or images you have permission to modify.
What's not cool: Please don't:
- Upload anything illegal, harmful, or offensive
- Process images you don't own or have permission to use
- Try to hack our AI models or reverse engineer our technology
- Spam our servers with automated requests
- Do anything that breaks local or international laws
4. Intellectual Property Rights
Your stuff stays yours: Any images you enhance with Stichbe belong to you. We don't claim ownership of your photos or the enhanced versions.
Our stuff stays ours: The Stichbe service itself – our AI models, website code, and design – belongs to us and is protected by copyright law.
Use images responsibly: Make sure you have the right to process any images you upload. If it's not yours, get permission first.
5. Privacy and Data Processing
Your images never leave your device. Everything happens in your browser, so we literally cannot see what you're enhancing.
For the full scoop on privacy, check out our Privacy Policy – we've made it easy to understand too.
6. Service Availability
We work hard to keep Stichbe running smoothly, but we can't promise 100% uptime. Sometimes we need to do maintenance, fix bugs, or deal with unexpected technical issues.
How well the service works for you depends on your device, browser, and internet connection. Newer devices and browsers generally give better results.
7. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
About quality: Our AI is pretty good, but results can vary depending on your image. We can't guarantee every enhanced image will be perfect for your specific needs.
No promises: We provide Stichbe "as is" – meaning we can't make legal guarantees about how it will work for you.
Limiting our liability: If something goes wrong, we're not responsible for any indirect damages or losses. This is standard legal protection that lets us offer a free service.
8. User Responsibilities
We'll do our part to provide a great service. Here's what we need from you:
- Make sure you have permission to use any images you enhance
- Use a modern, up-to-date browser for the best experience
- Keep your device and browser secure
- Back up important images before processing (just to be safe)
9. Modifications to Terms
We might need to update these terms occasionally – maybe laws change, or we add new features. When we do, we'll post the changes here with a new date.
If you keep using Stichbe after we make changes, that means you're okay with the new terms.
10. Termination
If someone breaks these rules, we might need to block their access to protect our service and other users. We hope it never comes to that.
Want to stop using Stichbe? No problem – just close your browser tab. No accounts to delete or complicated processes.
11. Governing Law
These terms follow international laws and regulations. We try to make our service available worldwide while respecting local legal requirements.
If there's ever a legal dispute (which we hope never happens), it would be handled through appropriate legal channels.
12. Contact Information
Questions about these terms? We're happy to help clarify anything. Reach out through our support channels.
We believe in clear communication and we're always here to address any concerns you might have.
