Terms of Use

Last updated: September 25, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of BananaAid, available at https://bananaaid.com, and its image-processing tools.

BananaAid is operated by Liconte LLC, located in California, USA. In these Terms, “BananaAid,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Liconte LLC. “You” refers to the person or organization using the service.

Please read these Terms before using BananaAid. By accepting these Terms or using the service after being given reasonable notice of them, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use BananaAid.

If you have not reached the age of legal majority where you live, you may use BananaAid only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms. Any higher minimum age required by applicable law also applies.

If you use BananaAid on behalf of a business or another organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

2. Our services

BananaAid provides tools for operations such as:

• Removing supported embedded AI metadata and Content Credentials.
• Inspecting, removing, and editing supported photo metadata.
• Inspecting and removing saved GPS location information.
• Removing image backgrounds.
• Removing selected text or objects with Magic Brush.

Light Effects is under development. Features described as planned, coming soon, or in development are not a promise of availability or a particular release date.

Supported formats, file sizes, image dimensions, processing limits, and available functions may vary by tool. The limits displayed within the relevant tool apply when you use it.

3. Current and future AI use

No BananaAid feature currently uses AI.

The name “AI Tag Remover” refers to the metadata the tool is designed to remove, not to its processing technology.

We may introduce AI processing for Magic Brush and Light Effects in the future. Before doing so, we will provide appropriate disclosures and update our Privacy Policy. Where required, we will obtain consent before sending information to an external AI provider.

These Terms do not, by themselves, authorize undisclosed AI processing or model training using your images.

4. Permission to use BananaAid

Subject to these Terms, you may use BananaAid for lawful personal or business purposes.

This permission is limited, non-exclusive, and does not transfer ownership of the website, its software, branding, or other materials to you.

You may use processed images commercially when you hold the necessary rights and permissions. BananaAid does not obtain those rights for you or guarantee that an image is suitable for a particular commercial use.

5. Your images and ownership

You retain any ownership and intellectual property rights you hold in your original images and other material you provide.

BananaAid does not claim ownership of your images merely because you process them using our tools.

You authorize only the processing reasonably necessary to perform the operation you request and deliver its result, consistent with our Privacy Policy. For local tools, that processing takes place on your device.

This authorization does not grant us a general right to publish, advertise with, sell, or train AI models on your images.

Processing does not create rights you did not already have. Rights held by photographers, depicted individuals, copyright owners, or other third parties may continue to apply to the result.

6. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• Having the rights, permissions, and lawful basis necessary to process an image.
• Respecting the privacy and other rights of people depicted in it.
• Checking that selected edits and downloaded results meet your needs.
• Keeping a backup of important original files.
• Complying with applicable laws, platform rules, and disclosure requirements.
• Deciding whether an image is appropriate to publish or use.

Do not assume that removing metadata makes an image anonymous, legally reusable, or free of third-party rights.

7. Prohibited use

You must not use BananaAid to:

• Commit fraud, impersonate someone, or fabricate evidence.
• Infringe copyright, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
• Remove attribution, copyright-management information, or authenticity information where doing so is unlawful.
• Evade a legally required disclosure of AI generation or image manipulation.
• Create or distribute unlawful, exploitative, or non-consensual intimate imagery.
• Create, possess, or distribute child sexual abuse material.
• Harass, threaten, defame, or otherwise unlawfully harm another person.
• Mislead people through manipulated images in a manner that violates applicable law.
• Upload malicious files or interfere with the operation or security of the service.
• Access systems, information, or accounts without authorization.
• Bypass technical restrictions, rate limits, or access controls.
• Use automated requests that materially disrupt the service or exceed limits we communicate.
• Resell access to BananaAid or present our service as your own without permission.

Nothing in these Terms prohibits lawful criticism, honest reviews, protected disclosures, or activities that applicable law does not permit us to restrict.

8. Metadata removal and AI-label limitations

BananaAid removes supported metadata from supported files. It does not guarantee removal of every field, marker, or record.

Removing embedded AI metadata or Content Credentials:

• Does not prove that an image was created without AI.
• Does not certify its authenticity or original source.
• Does not remove invisible watermarks embedded in image pixels.
• Does not delete externally stored Content Credentials or third-party records.
• Does not remove labels from an already published social media post.
• Does not guarantee that a platform will stop identifying or labeling the image as AI-generated or AI-edited.

Platforms may use visual analysis, watermark detection, user disclosures, or other signals. Their systems and rules may change.

You remain responsible for any disclosure required by law, a platform, a client, or a publication.

9. Metadata accuracy and Content Credentials

Metadata may be incomplete, inaccurate, or previously modified. Displayed camera details, dates, author names, and locations are not independently verified by BananaAid.

Editing those fields does not establish that the new values are true.

Removing or altering Content Credentials may make recorded provenance unavailable or prevent verification of an image’s editing history.

Do not treat BananaAid’s output as an authenticity certificate or a forensic conclusion.

10. Location privacy

GPS Remover addresses supported location information stored within the file. It does not conceal visible clues such as house numbers, signs, landmarks, vehicle plates, or recognizable surroundings.

Location information may also remain in filenames, captions, unsupported fields, earlier uploads, or external records.

Maps display coordinates found in the image. Those coordinates may be inaccurate or outdated, and the map should not be relied on for navigation, emergency response, or proof of location.

11. Editing results and image quality

Results depend on the image, format, selected settings, device, and processing method.

Background removal and brush-based editing may affect edges, fine details, nearby objects, text, or other parts of an image. Format conversion may change file size, color appearance, transparency, animation, or metadata.

Metadata-only removal may preserve the image data where the supported method allows it, but this is not a guarantee for every file or conversion.

Review the result before downloading, publishing, printing, or using it commercially. Keep your original if you may need to restore details later.

12. Local processing, privacy, and storage

AI Tag Remover, Photo Metadata, and GPS removal process supported image operations locally on your device.

Background Remover runs entirely on your device. Your image, metadata, and result are not uploaded for background removal.

Local processing does not mean that visiting the website creates no network requests. Website delivery, Google Analytics, and map display involve separate information flows described in our Privacy Policy.

BananaAid is not a backup or permanent storage service. Temporary files and results may become unavailable after a session ends, a page is refreshed, or cleanup occurs. Download any result you wish to keep.

Our Privacy Policy explains image handling, temporary retention, analytics, cookies, and privacy rights. Accepting these Terms does not replace consent where separate consent is legally required.

13. Third-party services

BananaAid uses or links to external services, including Google Analytics and OpenStreetMap.

Third-party services may have their own terms, privacy policies, availability limits, and technical requirements. We do not control websites or platforms merely because we link to or interact with them.

References to social platforms, software companies, or image formats do not imply affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.

This section does not exclude responsibilities we have under applicable law for providers we engage to deliver our service.

14. Availability and technical limits

We aim to keep BananaAid available and functional, but do not promise uninterrupted access or compatibility with every device, browser, or image.

We may apply reasonable limits to protect performance, security, and fair access. Processing may fail because of unsupported files, damaged data, device limitations, connectivity issues, maintenance, or other technical conditions.

We may modify or discontinue features. Where required by law or a separate paid agreement, we will provide notice and any applicable remedy.

15. Charges and future paid features

Any applicable charge must be disclosed before you agree to pay. Using a free tool does not authorize us to charge you later for that use.

If we introduce paid features or subscriptions, we will disclose the price, billing terms, renewal arrangements, cancellation process, and applicable refund terms before purchase.

No subscription or recurring payment is created by these Terms alone. Mandatory consumer cancellation and refund rights remain unaffected.

16. Our intellectual property

The BananaAid name, logo, website design, original website content, and software are owned by Liconte LLC or its licensors, except for user content and third-party materials.

You must not reproduce, distribute, sell, or misuse those materials beyond the permission provided by these Terms or applicable law.

Third-party and open-source components remain subject to their respective licenses. These Terms do not remove rights granted by those licenses.

17. Feedback

You may send suggestions or feedback about BananaAid. We may use voluntarily submitted suggestions to improve the service without an obligation to compensate you.

This does not transfer ownership of your images, private correspondence, or reviews, and does not authorize disclosure of personal information contrary to our Privacy Policy.

Please do not send confidential business ideas unless you are comfortable sharing them without a separate confidentiality agreement.

18. Reporting problems or rights concerns

To report misuse, a security concern, or an intellectual property issue, contact licontellc@gmail.com.

Include enough information to identify the issue, such as the relevant page, a description of the concern, and your contact details. For a rights complaint, explain the rights involved and your authority to raise the complaint.

Please avoid including sensitive files unless necessary. Do not exploit a suspected vulnerability, access other users’ information, or disrupt the service while reporting a security issue.

19. Suspension and termination

We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to:

• Address a material violation of these Terms.
• Prevent unlawful activity, abuse, or security threats.
• Protect the service or other users.
• Comply with a legal obligation.

Where practical and appropriate, we will provide notice or an opportunity to resolve the issue. Immediate action may be necessary for urgent security or legal reasons.

You may stop using BananaAid at any time.

Provisions that by their nature need to continue—including ownership, responsibility for prior conduct, liability limitations, and dispute provisions—survive termination to the extent applicable.

20. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by applicable law, BananaAid is provided “as is” and “as available.”

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, suitable for every purpose, or capable of producing a particular result.

In particular, we do not guarantee:

• Complete metadata or location removal.
• Prevention of AI labels or detection.
• Perfect background removal or object cleanup.
• Preservation of every image characteristic.
• Acceptance of processed images by a platform or marketplace.
• Legal compliance merely because an image was processed with BananaAid.

Information provided through the website is general information, not legal advice, professional forensic analysis, or a certification.

These disclaimers do not override express commitments we make or rights and warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded.

21. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Liconte LLC will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the service, including lost profits, lost business opportunities, or loss of goodwill.

Subject to the exceptions below, our total liability arising out of or relating to the service will not exceed the greater of:

• US $100, or
• The amount you paid Liconte LLC for BananaAid during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These exclusions and limits do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or any other liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit. They do not restrict mandatory consumer remedies.

Where local law does not allow a particular limitation, that limitation applies only to the extent permitted.

22. Business-user indemnity

If you use BananaAid on behalf of a business or organization, that business or organization agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify Liconte LLC against reasonable third-party claims, damages, and costs arising from its unlawful use of the service, infringement of third-party rights, or material breach of these Terms.

This obligation does not apply to losses caused by our own unlawful conduct, negligence, or breach.

We will provide prompt notice of a relevant claim and reasonable cooperation. No settlement may impose an admission, payment, or other obligation on the indemnified party without its consent, which must not be unreasonably withheld.

This business-user indemnity does not apply to individuals using BananaAid solely for personal consumer purposes.

23. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by California law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of mandatory protections available under the laws of your place of residence.

If a dispute arises, you may contact licontellc@gmail.com so we can try to resolve it informally. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief, meeting a legal deadline, or exercising a right to bring a claim.

Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, disputes may be brought in state or federal courts in California that have jurisdiction. Consumers retain any right under applicable law to bring proceedings in their home jurisdiction.

These Terms do not require binding arbitration or waive rights to participate in collective proceedings where available by law.

24. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our service, business, or legal requirements.

We will publish the updated version with a revised date and provide reasonable notice of material changes. Where affirmative acceptance is required, we will obtain it.

Changes will apply prospectively and will not retroactively remove rights relating to an existing dispute.

If you do not agree to revised Terms, you may stop using the service.

25. General provisions

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent legally possible.

A failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.

You may not transfer your contractual rights or obligations without our consent, except where applicable law permits it. We may transfer this agreement as part of a lawful business reorganization or transfer, provided your rights are not materially reduced.

These Terms, together with any expressly agreed feature-specific terms, form the agreement governing use of BananaAid. Our Privacy Policy separately describes how we handle personal information, and our Disclaimer explains service limitations.

Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, agency, or joint-venture relationship.
