1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using OrsonCraft (accessible at https://orsoncraft.com/, including all related subpages, tools, guides, and utilities), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to all provisions of these Terms, you may not use our services.

2. Description of Service & Client-Side Operation

OrsonCraft provides browser-based utilities designed for digital creators, including graphic resizers, image compressors, audio converters, tempo calculators, social media aspect ratio croppers, and snippet previewers.

You expressly acknowledge that:

• Files loaded into our tools are processed entirely using your personal computer or mobile hardware's resources (CPU, RAM, GPU) via web browser APIs (HTML5 Canvas, Web Audio API, Web Workers, and WebAssembly).
• Your files are not transmitted to or stored on any remote cloud server operated by OrsonCraft.
• Processing performance, rendering time, and memory limits depend directly on your device specifications and web browser capabilities.

3. Creator Intellectual Property & Licensing

We strongly advocate for creators' rights. Unlike traditional online media software that buried aggressive licensing clauses into terms of service:

• Full Retention of Rights: You retain complete, unrestricted copyright, trademark, and all other proprietary rights to any and all material you input into or produce using OrsonCraft.
• No Implied License: Because our servers do not ingest your media files, you grant no license (express or implied) to OrsonCraft to host, display, reproduce, distribute, or modify your files.
• Software IP: All code, visual UI elements, stylesheets, logos, vector icons, tool logic, documentation, and editorial guides produced by OrsonCraft remain the exclusive intellectual property of OrsonCraft and are protected under international copyright and intellectual property laws.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

When using OrsonCraft, you agree not to:

• Process content that violates applicable local, national, or international laws, including materials depicting child sexual abuse, unauthorized non-consensual imagery, terroristic content, or violent extremist propaganda.
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or bypass security or rate-limiting measures implemented on our static web delivery infrastructure.
• Deploy automated scripts, bots, spiders, or scrapers in a manner that degrades service availability for other users or circumvents ad delivery frameworks.
• Frame, hotlink, or embed OrsonCraft tool logic inside commercial web applications without prior written licensing authorization.

5. YouTube & Third-Party Platforms

Certain OrsonCraft utilities (such as the YouTube Thumbnail Downloader, YouTube Safe Zone Resizer, or Instagram Crop Tool) facilitate workflows for third-party platforms.

• OrsonCraft is an independent software project and is not affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by YouTube, Google, Meta, Instagram, Spotify, Apple, or ByteDance.
• When extracting thumbnails or preparing assets for these platforms, you are solely responsible for complying with the respective platform's terms of service and community guidelines.
• You warrant that you hold appropriate copyright or authorization for any content you download or transform using our tools.

6. Advertisements & Affiliate Links

OrsonCraft displays programmatic advertisements provided by Google AdSense and may feature affiliate marketing recommendations for creator-related audio gear, distribution platforms, or software.

• We are not responsible for the products, guarantees, or fulfillment provided by third-party advertisers or affiliate partners.
• Your transactions with third-party vendors found through OrsonCraft are strictly between you and the respective third party.

BECAUSE OUR TOOLS EXECUTE WITHIN YOUR CLIENT-SIDE ENVIRONMENT, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING LOCAL BACKUPS OF YOUR MASTER DIGITAL MEDIA FILES PRIOR TO INITIATING COMPRESSION OR RESIZING.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OrsonCraft, its operators, and affiliates against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or legal expenses arising out of or related to your breach of these Terms or your infringement of any intellectual property or privacy right of a third party.

10. Modifications to Terms and Services

We reserve the right to modify these Terms or modify, suspend, or discontinue any tool or feature at any time without notice. Continued use of OrsonCraft following updates signifies acceptance of the amended Terms.
