Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Image Size Reducer (https://imagesizereducer.org), you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service, all applicable laws, and regulations. The service is published and operated by James K. Chapman (Publisher) under the business brand Kivelo IT, located at 1135 Pannipitiya Road, Thalawathugoda, Sri Lanka 10116.

If you do not agree with any portion of these Terms, you must discontinue use of our web tools and pages immediately.

2. Service Description and Client-Side Architecture

Image Size Reducer provides free, in-browser software utilities for digital image compression, pixel dimension resizing, and format conversion across JPG, PNG, and WebP formats.

Zero Server Upload Guarantee: All image processing, compression algorithms, and file conversions execute 100% locally on your personal device using web standard technologies (the HTML5 Canvas 2D API and client-side JavaScript). Your image files, photographs, graphic assets, and EXIF metadata are never transmitted to, inspected by, or stored on Kivelo IT servers or any third-party cloud infrastructure.

3. Content Ownership and User Rights

Because our tools execute entirely within your client browser environment without server ingestion:

• 100% Retained Ownership: You retain full, exclusive ownership, intellectual property, and copyright over all images you process using Image Size Reducer.
• No License Transfer: Kivelo IT does not acquire any license, copyright, custody, or usage rights to your images.
• Your Legal Representations: You represent and warrant that you own the rights to the files you process or have obtained explicit authorization from the copyright holder, and that your use does not infringe upon any third-party copyright, trademark, trade secret, or privacy right.

4. Permitted and Prohibited Conduct

You may use our free tools for personal, academic, governmental, and commercial image preparation tasks. However, you agree not to:

• Use automated scripts, bots, spiders, or scrapers to overload, degrade, or bypass the normal graphical interface of the site.
• Attempt to compromise, inject malicious code into, or reverse-engineer the web delivery infrastructure.
• Use the service in connection with any illegal activity or to process unlawful content.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The tools, guides, calculators, and documentation on Image Size Reducer are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

Kivelo IT specifically disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

User Verification Requirement: While our compression algorithms are carefully calibrated to hit specific target thresholds (such as 100KB, 50KB, or 20KB) while maintaining visual clarity, different portals, government institutions, job boards, and academic systems enforce strict, unique criteria regarding dimensions, color spaces, and file sizes. You are solely responsible for inspecting and verifying your processed image files before submitting them to critical third-party portals or applications.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Kivelo IT, James K. Chapman, or its affiliates and suppliers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of data, missed application deadlines, portal rejections, or business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use our tools, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

7. Advertising and Third-Party Links

Our website displays third-party advertisements delivered by Google AdSense to sustain our free operations, and may include links to external educational, standards, or vendor websites. Kivelo IT has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or operational practices of any third-party websites or services.

8. Changes to Terms

Kivelo IT reserves the right to revise or replace these Terms of Service at any time. When revisions occur, the updated date at the top of this document will be updated. Your continued use of the website following any posted modifications constitutes acceptance of the amended terms.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.
