1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Pixelbeads, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the site or the Studio workflow.
Pixelbeads may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
2. Description of the Current Service
Pixelbeads currently provides a free browser-based workflow for turning images into bead-oriented patterns.
- Image-to-pattern conversion designed around browser-local processing
- Adjustable pattern settings and manual refinement inside the shared Studio
- Current public PNG export
- Public informational pages about the product and its current scope
3. Your Rights and Responsibilities
You may use the current service for lawful personal, educational, or commercial project work unless Pixelbeads posts different terms for a specific feature or asset.
You are responsible for making sure you have the right to use any image or material you bring into the Studio workflow.
- Do not use the service for unlawful, abusive, or harmful activity
- Do not attempt to interfere with the site, the Studio workflow, or supporting infrastructure
- Do not upload or process content you do not have the right to use
4. Your Images and Generated Patterns
You retain ownership of the images you choose to process and the patterns you generate from them.
The current public conversion workflow is designed around browser-local processing, so Pixelbeads does not present this workflow as a hosted image library or image storage service.
5. Pixelbeads Intellectual Property
The Pixelbeads site, branding, copy, layout, and software are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Except for the limited rights needed to use the public service, these Terms do not grant you ownership of Pixelbeads intellectual property.
6. Third-Party Trademarks
Perler, Hama, Artkal, and other third-party marks belong to their respective owners. Pixelbeads uses those names only to describe compatible bead workflows and does not claim affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship.
7. Service Availability and Future Features
Pixelbeads may change, improve, suspend, or remove parts of the service at any time.
Future directions discussed on the site, such as multi-board planning, 3D-oriented tooling, or richer export formats, are not guaranteed until they are actually shipped.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
Pixelbeads is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
Pixelbeads does not guarantee uninterrupted availability, perfect output, or exact color matching between on-screen patterns and physical beads. Real-world color differences can vary by brand, batch, material, and lighting.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Pixelbeads and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service.
If a legal claim is allowed despite the limitation above, Pixelbeads total liability will be limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
