Effective date: July 4, 2026
1. Introduction and Acceptance
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the PixPunch application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by PixPunch, a company registered in India ("PixPunch", "we", "us", or "our").
By accessing or using the Service at https://app.pixpunch.com/ or any associated mobile application, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.
These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which form part of your agreement with us.
2. Description of Service
PixPunch is an AI-powered photography coaching platform that helps users improve their smartphone photography skills. The Service may include, but is not limited to:
- AI analysis of photographs uploaded by users
- Real-time camera guidance and composition feedback ("Live Coach")
- Personalised photography tips, lessons, and improvement recommendations
- Progress tracking and skill assessments
- Human review and editing services provided by our team
- Community features and sharing tools
The Service is provided on a subscription or freemium basis as described in Section 5 below.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account and use the Service on your own behalf.
If you are under 18 years of age, you may only use the Service with the verifiable consent of a parent or lawful guardian, who must create or supervise your account and agree to these Terms on your behalf. This aligns with the definition of a "child" under India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, as described in our Privacy Policy.
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements, or that you are a parent/guardian who has provided the required consent on behalf of a minor using the Service.
If we become aware that a child under 18 is using the Service without the requisite parental or guardian consent, we will take reasonable steps to suspend the account and delete associated personal data, consistent with our Privacy Policy.
4. Account Registration
To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
- Maintain and promptly update your account information
- Keep your password confidential and not share it with any third party
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account at support@pixpunch.com
- Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false information or that are used in violation of these Terms.

5.4 Refunds and Cancellation
All fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise.
