IMPORTANT: BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF OUR WEBSITE OR SERVICES ("PLATFORM"), INCLUDING PORTRAIT STUDIO, ANIMATION STUDIOS, BANNER CREATION, AND ECARD SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE ("TERMS"). IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT EVERY PROVISION OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE PLATFORM.
SPECIAL NOTICE FOR IMAGE UPLOADS: BY UPLOADING ANY IMAGE TO OUR SERVICES, YOU ACCEPT FULL LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT CONTENT AND WAIVE ALL CLAIMS AGAINST SMART BANNER HUB LLC.
Smart Banner Hub LLC ("we," "us," or "our") provides a creative platform ("Platform") that enables you to create custom animations through our Typography Studio, Handwriting Studio, and Portrait Studio, generate banners, and send ecards. Our services include both instant-access tools and order-based animation generation.
Our Portrait Studio service allows you to upload images (up to 10MB, common formats like JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP) to create mathematical animations. The process involves:
Important: For best results, use high-contrast images with dramatic lighting. Results vary based on image lighting, contrast, and detail complexity. By uploading any image, you acknowledge that our service performs automated processing without human review, and you accept all risks associated with uploading personal content to an online service.
Portrait Studio animations (MP4 files) and associated order data are stored temporarily in our systems for 24 hours. Text-based animation orders are stored for 24 hours (single purchase) or 30 days (pro packages when available). After these periods, all data is automatically and irreversibly purged. You are solely responsible for downloading your animations within the applicable timeframe.
BY UPLOADING ANY IMAGE TO OUR PLATFORM, YOU REPRESENT, WARRANT, AND AGREE THAT:
You may NOT upload images containing:
LEGAL WARNING: Uploading prohibited content may result in immediate service termination and reporting to appropriate authorities, including law enforcement.
NO HUMAN REVIEW: Uploaded images are processed entirely by automated algorithms without human review. We do not and cannot verify the appropriateness, ownership, or legality of uploaded content.
NO CONTENT MODERATION: We do not pre-screen, monitor, or moderate uploaded images. You are solely responsible for ensuring your uploads comply with these Terms and all applicable laws.
NO LIABILITY FOR IMAGE PROCESSING: We are not liable for how our algorithms process your images, including any distortions, color changes, or unexpected results in the generated animations.
ORIGINAL IMAGE DELETION: Your original uploaded image is converted to point cloud data and immediately discarded. We only retain the generated MP4 animation for 24 hours.
NO DUTY TO MONITOR BUT RIGHT TO ACT: While we do not monitor uploaded content, we reserve the right to remove content and terminate accounts if violations come to our attention through user reports, legal notices, or other means. If we become aware of CSAM or other illegal content requiring legal reporting, we will comply with all applicable reporting obligations and cooperate with law enforcement authorities.
By uploading any image, you expressly waive and release Smart Banner Hub LLC from any and all claims, damages, or liabilities arising from or related to:
Any material you create, upload, generate, or otherwise transmit through the Platform (collectively, "User Content") is entirely your responsibility. This includes uploaded images, animation text, drawings, banner content, ecard messages, recipient information, and anything else you input. If your User Content offends, infringes, is illegal, or causes any harm, you bear full and exclusive responsibility.
By uploading content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license solely to process your content for the requested services and deliver the resulting animations. This license automatically terminates when your content is deleted from our systems.
You waive all claims against Smart Banner Hub LLC arising out of or related to any decision not to block, remove, screen, or otherwise act on any User Content or generated animations.
YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS Smart Banner Hub LLC, its owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against ANY AND ALL claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debts, fines, penalties, and expenses (including attorney's fees and court costs) arising from or related to:
When you purchase animations through our Studios, we process your order and provide a unique access link. For Portrait Studio:
For text-based animations, the process is similar but with text input instead of images.
You are responsible for downloading your animations within the applicable access period. We provide no extensions, recovery options, or re-generation services after the access period expires. All data is permanently and irreversibly deleted after the specified timeframe.
Your order access link is unique and should be kept secure. Anyone with access to this link can download your animations during the access period. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your order links and bear all consequences of shared or compromised links.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SMART BANNER HUB LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, PRIVACY, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES) RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO:
IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR $10, WHICHEVER IS LESS.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES REGARDING:
All payments are handled by third-party payment processors. You agree to abide by their terms of service. We are not responsible for payment issues, disputes, or errors caused by those third parties.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Animation orders are processed immediately upon payment, and image processing begins instantly. We do not provide refunds under any circumstances, including but not limited to:
We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated data about website usage, including pages visited, time spent, browser information, user interactions with features, and general geographic location. This helps us improve our services. You may opt out using browser settings or Google's opt-out tools.
Google Analytics does not have access to or collect data about your uploaded images. Image processing occurs separately from analytics tracking.
You agree not to use the Platform for any unlawful, harmful, or abusive purposes. Violations may result in immediate termination of service and reporting to law enforcement.
You may not use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to access the Platform or attempt to download other users' content.
Smart Banner Hub LLC provides tools for users to create animations from their own uploaded content. We do not host a public gallery or sharing platform. Generated animations are accessible only via private links to the purchasing user and are automatically deleted from our systems after 24 hours. Once downloaded, users are solely responsible for their use and distribution of the animations.
While our limited access model and automatic deletion significantly reduce copyright concerns, we respect intellectual property rights and maintain DMCA compliance. If you believe someone has used your copyrighted work to create an animation through our service, contact us at [email protected].
Please understand:
If we receive a valid copyright complaint:
Users are solely responsible for any copyright infringement in their downloaded animations. By using our service, users agree to indemnify us against any copyright claims arising from their uploads or their subsequent use of downloaded animations.
Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Oregon, not through court proceedings. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. You waive your right to a jury trial. If you initiate any claim against us and do not prevail, you agree to pay all our costs and attorney's fees. Each party shall otherwise bear its own costs and attorney's fees, except as provided in Section 4 (Indemnification).
You waive any right to bring claims as a class action or in a representative capacity.
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
We may modify these Terms at any time. Modified Terms will be posted with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use after modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Smart Banner Hub LLC regarding the Platform and supersede all prior agreements.
You must be at least 13 years old to use our services. Users under 18 must have parental consent. By uploading images of minors, you warrant that you have proper legal authority.
The following sections shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms and continue in full force and effect: Section 2.4 (Complete Waiver of Claims), Section 4 (Comprehensive Indemnification), Section 6 (Disclaimer of All Liability), Section 7 ("As Is" and "As Available"), Section 8.2 (Absolutely No Refunds), Section 11 (Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy), Section 12 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), Section 13 (Governing Law), and this Section 18 (Survival). These provisions survive because they address matters that may arise after termination, including disputes about past use of our services.
