Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: June 2026
1. Introduction
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the imageoffload.com website, the Image Offload & Optimize WordPress plugin, and the associated managed API processing server (collectively, the "Service").
The Service is owned and operated by WPCrafters, a division of Tharwa Consulting Private Limited ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing our website, downloading the plugin, or purchasing a subscription, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
2. The Service
Image Offload & Optimize provides two distinct components:
- The WordPress Plugin: A software tool installed on your WordPress site designed to offload media to your personal cloud storage (Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3, or Backblaze B2).
- The Managed API Server: A premium cloud infrastructure that processes and converts your images to next-generation formats (WebP/AVIF).
3. License Grant & Structure (Split License)
Because our product integrates with WordPress, we utilize a "split license" model:
- Plugin Code (GPL): The public PHP and frontend code of the WordPress plugin is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2 or later. You are free to use, modify, and redistribute this specific code.
- Managed API Service (Proprietary): The cloud processing server, the API endpoints, and the API keys required to access premium conversions are proprietary SaaS products owned by Tharwa Consulting Private Limited. The GPL does not apply to our server-side infrastructure.
License Tiers: Access to the premium API service is granted strictly on a per-site basis and is non-transferable without written permission.
- Solo: Valid for 1 website.
- Agency: Valid for up to 25 websites.
- Enterprise: Valid for unlimited websites.
4. Account and API Key Security
When you purchase a subscription, you are issued an API key to access our processing server.
- You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your API key.
- You are responsible for all usage and activity conducted under your API key.
- Sharing, distributing, or utilizing your API key across more websites than your purchased license tier explicitly permits is a material breach of these Terms.
5. Acceptable Use Policy
You agree not to misuse the Service. Specifically, you shall not:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of our API server or proprietary infrastructure.
- Attempt to bypass, disable, or circumvent license checks and usage limits.
- Use the Service to process, upload, or transmit illegal, copyrighted, or malicious content.
- Resell, lease, or sub-license access to the managed processing service or your API key to unauthorized third parties.
6. Payments and Subscriptions
All payments, tax calculations, and subscription renewals are securely processed by our Merchant of Record, Polar.sh.
- Pricing: Solo ($49/year), Agency ($129/year), and Enterprise ($249/year). Prices are subject to change. We will provide reasonable notice of any pricing changes before your next billing cycle.
- Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions are billed annually and will automatically renew unless canceled prior to the renewal date.
- Taxes: You are responsible for all applicable local, state, or national taxes associated with your purchase, which Polar.sh calculates and collects at checkout.
7. Refund Policy
We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with the Service, you may request a full refund within 14 days of your initial purchase date. After 14 days, all sales are final. Please review our full Refund Policy page for exact procedures.
8. Service Availability and Cloud Storage
- Uptime: We provide no uptime or performance guarantees for the free tier. For paid tiers, we utilize reasonable commercial efforts to maintain API server availability, but do not guarantee 100% uninterrupted service.
- Third-Party Storage: The plugin offloads media to your own Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3, or Backblaze B2 accounts. We are not responsible for the uptime, billing, or data integrity of these third-party storage providers.
9. Intellectual Property
- Your Content: You retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the images and media you process through our Service.
- Our Assets:The plugin's proprietary API, the imageoffload.com website, brand assets, logos, and trademarks remain the exclusive property of Tharwa Consulting Private Limited.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- We are not liable for any data loss, data breaches, or configuration errors resulting from your use of third-party cloud storage (R2/S3/B2).
- We are not liable for any subjective image conversion quality issues beyond the 7-day refund window.
- Our total, aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms shall not exceed the total amount you paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
11. Termination
- By You: You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account portal. Cancellation stops future billing, but no prorated refunds are provided for the remainder of the billing cycle after the initial 14 days.
- By Us: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and deactivate your API key immediately, without refund or prior notice, if you violate the Acceptable Use Policy or exceed your license limits. Upon termination, no further image processing will be permitted.
12. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes via email or through a prominent notice on our website. Your continued use of the Service following such notice constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
