terms of service

1. acceptance

By accessing or using Movlee ("the Service"), you ("you," "user") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the operator of the Service ("we," "our," "us"). The operator is based in Singapore.

Together with our Privacy Policy, these Terms govern your use of the Service.

2. eligibility

• You must be at least 18 years old to make a purchase through the Service.
• You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service at all. Users between 13 and 18 may use the free tier with parental consent but may not make purchases.
• You may not use the Service if you are barred from receiving the Service under any applicable law (including but not limited to applicable sanctions regimes).

3. description of service

Movlee is a browser-based tool that allows users to:

• Upload an image (a photograph or logo) into their browser.
• Apply a chosen visual animation style to that image.
• Download the result as an animated GIF file.

All image processing — including background removal, animation rendering, and GIF encoding — occurs entirely on your device. The Service does not transmit, view, or store your image at any point.

The Service offers:

• A free tier — selected animation styles at brand-default colors download for free.
• Paid tiers — animation styles with customized colors, including premium styles, are available via one-time purchase through Lemon Squeezy or via the "share-to-unlock" mechanism described in section 8.

4. your image (your responsibility)

You retain all rights to images you upload. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

• (a) You own the rights to the image, or you have explicit, documented permission from the rights holder(s) to use the image for the purposes contemplated by the Service.
• (b) The image does not depict any person without that person's consent. This includes friends, family, public figures, or any third party.
• (c) The image does not contain unlawful content. This includes but is not limited to: child sexual abuse material; content that depicts minors in any sexual or suggestive context; content that infringes intellectual property rights; content that is defamatory, threatening, or harassing; or any content that violates applicable law in Singapore or in your jurisdiction.

You are solely responsible for the images you upload and the resulting GIFs you produce. Because the Service does not transmit or store your images, we have no technical ability to monitor uploads — this responsibility rests entirely with you.

5. the resulting GIF

When you successfully complete a download (free or paid), you own the resulting GIF file and may use it for personal or commercial profile-picture purposes (Gmail, Slack, Discord, social platforms, etc.).

You may NOT:

• Resell the resulting GIF as your own product, service, or template.
• Use the GIF to impersonate another person.
• Use the GIF to harass, defame, threaten, or harm another person.
• Use the GIF in a way that violates any applicable law.
• Claim Movlee's animation styles, brand identity, codebase, or visual designs as your own.

6. payments

Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy. All purchases are one-time; the Service does not offer subscriptions, recurring charges, or trial-then-charge models.

Pricing is shown in U.S. dollars. Lemon Squeezy may apply local taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) based on your billing address as required by applicable law.

By making a purchase, you also agree to Lemon Squeezy's terms of service: https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/legal.

7. refunds

Standard rule. Purchases are for digital files delivered immediately upon successful payment. Once you have downloaded the GIF, no refund will be issued.

Exception — failed delivery. If your payment was processed but the file was not delivered (due to a technical issue, network failure, browser crash, or any other reason), contact us at me@zayedtalib.com within 14 days of the transaction date. We will resolve the issue, including a full refund where appropriate.

Chargebacks. If you dispute a charge directly with your bank or payment provider without first contacting us, we reserve the right to:

• Refuse you future use of the Service.
• Pursue recovery of the disputed amount and any associated dispute fees through Lemon Squeezy or other available means.

8. share-to-unlock

The "share-to-unlock" mechanism grants a free download in exchange for sharing the Service with another person. We trust that the share is genuine — we do not technically verify whether the share was actually completed.

You agree not to abuse this mechanism, including by:

• Automated or scripted sharing.
• Sharing to fake recipients (bots, throwaway addresses, your own alternate accounts).
• Any coordinated attempt to circumvent the spirit of the offer.

We reserve the right to suspend or rate-limit the share-to-unlock mechanism for individual users (as identified by IP address or other technical means) suspected of abuse.

9. acceptable use

You agree not to:

• (a) Use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
• (b) Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code from any non-public component of the Service, except where prohibition is barred by applicable law.
• (c) Circumvent the Service's paywall — including but not limited to: screen-recording the live preview, using browser developer tools to extract canvas content, or any other technical workaround intended to obtain a paid asset without payment.
• (d) Use the Service to create content that infringes someone else's rights.
• (e) Interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or networks (e.g., automated scraping at high frequency, denial-of-service attempts).
• (f) Resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service itself.

10. intellectual property

Movlee's brand identity — including the name "Movlee," its visual identity, animation style names (Aurora, Orbit, Halo, Echo, Breathe, Sparkle, Burst, Hourglass, Burn-Through, Mercury, Vapor), the visual design of the Service, and the underlying codebase — are the property of the operator. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or use them without permission, except as expressly permitted by these Terms (i.e., to receive the Service as intended).

11. third-party services

The Service relies on third-party services to function:

• Lemon Squeezy (payment processing).
• Netlify (hosting).
• esm.sh and jsdelivr.net (CDNs serving open-source libraries).
• Google Fonts (typeface CDN).

When you use the Service, you may also be subject to those parties' terms. We are not responsible for their availability, behavior, or actions.

12. open-source components

The Service uses the following open-source components, which run on your device:

• @imgly/background-removal (MIT license) — performs background removal on your photos locally in your browser.
• gif.js (MIT license) — encodes the animated GIF on your device.

These components are provided by their respective authors under their respective licenses. We thank them.

13. disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

We do not warrant that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time.
• The output GIF will animate on every platform. Some platforms (notably Instagram and Facebook personal profile pictures) strip animation from uploaded GIFs; we have no control over their behavior.
• The background-removal model will produce perfect results on every photo. The open-source model used has known limitations on hair, fine edges, low-contrast subjects, and unusual lighting conditions.
• Any specific outcome will result from your use of the Service.

14. limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE OPERATOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF: (i) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SPECIFIC TRANSACTION GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (ii) TWENTY U.S. DOLLARS (USD $20).

Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Singapore law.

15. indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the operator, its agents, and its representatives from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your breach of these Terms.
• Your violation of any law or third-party right.
• Any image you upload, including any claim that the image violates someone's privacy, publicity rights, intellectual property rights, or other rights.
• Your use or misuse of the resulting GIF, including any harm or claim arising from how you deploy it on third-party platforms.

16. termination

We may, at our discretion and without notice:

• Modify the Service.
• Suspend or discontinue the Service in whole or in part.
• Refuse the Service to any user, including in cases of suspected abuse.

Already-completed downloads remain yours; we have no obligation to maintain the Service indefinitely. If a purchase was processed but the file was not delivered before discontinuation, the failed-delivery refund process described in section 7 applies.

17. dispute resolution

(a) Informal resolution. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at me@zayedtalib.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for a period of at least 30 days.

(b) Arbitration. If informal resolution fails, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including the validity, invalidity, breach, or termination thereof, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in accordance with the SIAC Arbitration Rules in force at the time of the application for arbitration.

• The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore.
• The language of the arbitration shall be English.
• The tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator.

(c) Exception for equitable relief. Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Singapore for the purpose of protecting intellectual property rights or confidential information.

18. governing law

These Terms are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of Singapore, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

19. severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.

20. entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the operator regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements, communications, or understandings, whether oral or written.

21. no waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us to be effective.

22. assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

23. changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, your sole remedy is to stop using the Service.
