Terms of Service#
Last updated: 26 October 2025
1) Agreement & Parties#
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the image background removal services, APIs, websites, and related materials provided by withoutbg.com ("Service"). The contracting party is Imran Kocabiyik, Dudenstr. 24, 10965 Berlin, Germany ("Provider").
By using the Service, you confirm that you are acting for business purposes (B2B) and have authority to bind your organization.
2) The Service#
We provide automated background removal via web app and API. We may improve, modify, or discontinue features at any time.
3) Accounts & Access#
You must keep credentials (including API keys) confidential and are responsible for activity under your account. Do not share credentials outside your organization.
4) Fees, Credits & Taxes#
You may purchase usage-based credits. Unless expressly stated, credits are non‑refundable. Unused credits do not expire unless a specific product page states otherwise at purchase time. Prices are exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for applicable taxes. If you are a German Kleinunternehmer per §19 UStG, this will be indicated on invoices.
5) Service Level Objective (SLO) - Not an SLA#
We target high availability and fast processing times as a Service Level Objective (SLO) only. This is not a service level agreement; no service credits are provided. This SLO statement replaces and supersedes any other SLO/SLA wording.
6) Acceptable Use#
You will not: (a) reverse engineer or attempt to extract the models; (b) interfere with or overload the Service; (c) upload unlawful content; (d) use the Service for biometric identification, face recognition, or surveillance; (e) use the Service to violate laws or rights of others.
7) Content & IP#
You retain all rights to your inputs and outputs. You grant Provider a limited license to process inputs and outputs solely to provide and secure the Service. Provider does not use your content to train models unless you opt in.
8) Data Protection#
Provider acts as processor and you as controller for personal data you submit. The parties will enter into a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement (DPA) (Art. 28 GDPR). The DPA (including technical and organizational measures and subprocessors list) is incorporated by reference and made available as a separate document.
9) Warranties & Disclaimers#
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Provider disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement. You are responsible for reviewing outputs before production use.
10) Limitation of Liability (Consolidated)#
To the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) Provider will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill; and (b) Provider’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms will not exceed the amounts you paid in the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to liability.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or where liability cannot be limited under applicable law.
11) Term & Termination#
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach, legal risk, or security reasons. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends; Sections 7–15 survive.
12) Changes to the Service or Terms#
We may update the Service and these Terms. Material changes will be notified by email or in‑product. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
13) Governing Law & Venue#
These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany. Exclusive venue is the courts of Berlin, Germany.
14) Notices#
Notices to you may be sent to your account email. Email notices are deemed received when sent if no bounce is returned within 24 hours.
15) Assignment; Severability; Export; Entire Agreement#
You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign to an affiliate or in connection with a merger or sale. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. You represent that you are not subject to sanctions and will comply with applicable export laws. These Terms, together with the DPA and any order forms, are the entire agreement regarding the Service.
Changelog: Consolidated duplicate liability clauses into a single Section 10; kept a single SLO statement in Section 5; removed overlapping/duplicated wording elsewhere; aligned cross‑references and headings.
