Last updated: January 2025

01

Acceptance of Terms

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

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use SlickBG. We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

02

Description of Service

SlickBG is a free, browser-based tool that uses artificial intelligence to remove backgrounds from images. The Service is designed to be simple and accessible:

  • No registration required. You can use SlickBG immediately without creating an account, providing an email address, or sharing any personal information.
  • Fully browser-based. All image processing happens locally in your web browser using WebAssembly and AI. Your images are never uploaded to our servers.
  • Free of charge. The Service is provided at no cost to you. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or premium tiers.
03

Use of the Service

You may use SlickBG for both personal and commercial purposes, subject to the following conditions:

Permitted Uses:

  • Removing backgrounds from personal photos and images.
  • Creating transparent or replacement backgrounds for commercial projects, including e-commerce, marketing materials, and social media content.
  • Processing images for graphic design, web development, and other creative applications.

Prohibited Uses:

  • Using the Service to process any content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.
  • Processing or creating images that depict or promote child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or exploitation of minors in any form. We have zero tolerance for such content and will cooperate fully with law enforcement.
  • Using the Service to infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, or privacy rights.
  • Attempting to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service or its underlying AI models.
  • Using automated systems (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access or abuse the Service in a way that could degrade performance for other users.
04

Intellectual Property

We respect your ownership of the content you create and process. Here is how intellectual property works with SlickBG:

  • You retain full ownership. You retain all rights, title, and interest in the original images you upload and the processed images you download. SlickBG does not claim any ownership, license, or rights to your images.
  • No rights claimed by SlickBG. Because your images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to our servers, we have no access to, copy of, or claim over your uploaded or processed images.
  • Service ownership. The SlickBG website, its design, code, AI models, trademarks, and branding remain the exclusive property of SlickBG and its licensors. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the Service itself.
05

Privacy

Your privacy is fundamental to how SlickBG is built. Because all image processing happens locally in your browser, your images are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted to any server.

For a complete understanding of how we handle — or more accurately, don't handle — your data, please review our Privacy Policy.

06

Disclaimer of Warranties

SlickBG is provided to you on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

  • No guarantee of accuracy. While our AI model produces high-quality background removal results, we do not guarantee that the output will be perfect, error-free, or suitable for any particular purpose. Results may vary depending on image quality, complexity, and content.
  • No guarantee of availability. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
  • Use at your own discretion. You are solely responsible for reviewing the processed output to ensure it meets your quality standards and requirements before using it in any project.
07

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SlickBG and its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

  • Loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses.
  • Damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.
  • Damages resulting from any errors, inaccuracies, or defects in the background removal output.
  • Damages arising from unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data.

This limitation of liability applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage.

08

Availability of Service

SlickBG is provided as a free, publicly accessible web tool. We strive to maintain consistent uptime, but the Service is provided "as available" and we do not guarantee uninterrupted access.

  • Scheduled maintenance. We may temporarily suspend the Service for maintenance, updates, or improvements. We will attempt to minimize disruption whenever possible.
  • No SLA. Because SlickBG is a free service, there is no service level agreement (SLA) or guaranteed uptime percentage.
  • Browser compatibility. The Service requires a modern web browser with WebAssembly support. Performance and availability may vary based on your browser, device, and internet connection.
09

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make changes:

  • The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised to reflect the most recent changes.
  • We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes through a notice on the website.
  • Your continued use of SlickBG after any modifications to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed about your rights and responsibilities when using SlickBG.

10

Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which SlickBG operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

  • Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved in the competent courts of the applicable jurisdiction.
  • If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
