Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ShieldShot ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of any changes.

2. Description of Service

ShieldShot is a photo monitoring and intellectual property protection platform operated by Saints Touch Photography. We provide tools to help photographers and content creators detect unauthorized use of their images online, generate DMCA takedown notices, and manage licensing demands. We do not provide legal advice, and use of our generated documents does not constitute an attorney-client relationship.

3. User Accounts and Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information when creating your account
• Only upload images that you own or have the legal right to monitor
• Not use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Not attempt to circumvent any security features of the platform
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

4. Intellectual Property

You retain all ownership rights to the images you upload. By uploading images, you grant ShieldShot a limited, non-exclusive license to process, fingerprint, and use those images solely for the purpose of providing the monitoring service. We do not claim any ownership over your content.

The ShieldShot platform, including its software, design, and documentation, is owned by Saints Touch Photography and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute our platform without written permission.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

Paid plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. All fees are non-refundable except where required by law. You may cancel your subscription at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you will retain access to Pro features until then. We reserve the right to change our pricing with 30 days' notice.

6. DMCA and Legal Notices

ShieldShot provides tools to help you draft DMCA takedown notices and licensing demand letters. These are provided as templates only. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of any notices you send. ShieldShot makes no warranty that use of our templates will result in removal of infringing content or successful legal outcomes. Submitting false DMCA notices may subject you to legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that all infringing uses of your images will be detected. Image monitoring relies on third-party APIs and technologies that may have limitations.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Saints Touch Photography shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including lost profits, lost data, or missed infringement detections. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months prior to the claim.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms. You may terminate your account at any time from your Settings page. Upon termination, your data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida.
