Last updated: June 24, 2025

1. Agreement to Terms

By using our website, https://captionthisai.com, and the services provided therein (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you and CaptionThis ("we", "us", "our").

2. Description of Service

CaptionThis is a web-based application that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate creative captions for images uploaded by users. The Service is offered on both a free, usage-limited basis and a paid subscription basis.

3. User Accounts

To use the Service, you must register for an account using Google OAuth. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account and for keeping your account credentials secure. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. User Content

You are solely responsible for the images and any other content you upload to the Service ("User Content").

Ownership: You retain all ownership rights to your User Content. We do not claim any ownership over your images.
License Grant: By uploading User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, process, and transmit your User Content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service. This license is necessary for us to, for example, send your image to our AI provider (OpenAI) to generate a caption. This license ends when you delete your User Content or your account.
Prohibited Content: You agree not to upload any User Content that: (i) is illegal, hateful, defamatory, pornographic, or obscene; (ii) infringes on any third party's copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights; (iii) violates the privacy of others; or (iv) contains viruses or other malicious code. We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

Free Tier: The Service may be used for free up to a certain usage limit as specified on the website.
Paid Subscriptions: For unlimited usage, you may purchase a subscription. Payments are processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. By providing a payment method, you agree that we (through Stripe) are authorized to charge you on a recurring basis for your subscription until you cancel.
Trials: We may offer a free trial period for subscriptions. If you do not cancel before the end of the trial period, you will be automatically billed for the subscription.
Cancellations: You may cancel your subscription at any time. The cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. No refunds will be provided for the current billing period.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to: (i) engage in any illegal activity; (ii) attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise discover the source code of the Service; (iii) use any automated system, such as "bots" or "scrapers," to access the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to our servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period; or (iv) interfere with the proper working of the Service.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service itself, including all software, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks (excluding User Content), is the property of CaptionThis and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. The captions generated by the AI are provided for your use, but we make no claims or warranties regarding their originality or suitability for any purpose.

8. Third-Party Services

Our Service relies on third-party services, including Google, OpenAI, and Stripe. Your use of our Service is also subject to the terms and policies of these third parties.

9. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service at our sole discretion, without prior notice, for any reason, including a breach of these Terms. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE AND YOUR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Malaysia, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms will be brought exclusively in the courts located in Malaysia.

13. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
