Terms of Service

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the searchly.app website and reverse image search service ("Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use searchly.app.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. You are responsible for ensuring your use of Searchly. The app complies with the laws of your country or region.

3. Description of Service

Searchly.app is a reverse image search tool. It analyzes an uploaded image or URL and returns links to publicly accessible pages where visually similar content may appear.

We do not:

  • Access private, restricted, or login-protected platforms
  • Collect data from private accounts or closed systems
  • Host or control any third-party content returned in results
All results are drawn from publicly indexed web sources only.

4. User Responsibilities

By using the Service, you agree to:

  • Upload only images you own or are authorized to use
  • Use the Service for lawful purposes only
  • Do not use results to investigate, track, or profile individuals without their consent
  • Not engage in harassment, stalking, discrimination, or any harmful activity
Violations may result in immediate, permanent termination of access and, where required, referral to law enforcement.

5. Data Processing & Consent

By uploading an image, you give explicit consent for Searchly.app to:

  • Process the image temporarily to perform your search
  • Delete the original image immediately after the results are returned

We do not store uploaded images, retain search history, or create user profiles. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

6. Accuracy and Limitations

Results indicate visual similarity only. A match is not proof of identity, ownership, or intent. You are solely responsible for verifying results through independent sources before taking any action.

We do not guarantee completeness. Not all web content is publicly indexed. Results reflect what is available at the time of your search and may change.

7. Intellectual Property

All text, software, trademarks, and assets on searchly.app are our property or licensed to us. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or resell any part of the Service without prior written consent.

You retain all rights to any image you upload. By uploading, you grant searchly.app a temporary, limited license to process that image solely to return your search results. This license terminates automatically when results are delivered.

8. Fair Use & Abuse Prevention

We monitor general usage patterns to maintain service integrity. Accounts may be restricted or terminated for:

  • Automated usage or scraping without written permission
  • Excessive or abnormal search volume
  • Attempts to bypass service limits or interfere with operations

9. Opt-Out & Takedown Requests

If your image appears in search results and you want it removed, contact us at support@searchly.app with confirmation that the content belongs to you. We will review and action verified requests within 5 business days.

10. Service Availability

We aim for continuous availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted uptime. Maintenance, updates, or outages may occur. We are not liable for temporary unavailability or performance degradation.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We make no guarantees regarding result accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose. Use of the Service is entirely at your own risk.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • Searchly.app is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of the Service or reliance on its results
  • We are not liable for any content hosted on third-party sites linked in the results

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify searchly.app and its team against any claims arising from your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, engage in fraud or abuse, or if we receive a lawful request to do so. Termination ends all rights to use the Service immediately.

15. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

The laws of Singapore govern these Terms. Any disputes arising from these Terms or use of the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore.

16. Compliance & Sanctions

You confirm that you are not located in a sanctioned jurisdiction and that you are legally permitted to use the Service under applicable law.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Updates will be posted here with a revised effective date. Continued use of the Service after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

18. Final Provisions

These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and searchly.app. If any clause is found invalid, the remainder stays in effect. Failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
