Terms of use

Plain terms for a free editor. By using Scissor you agree to them.

Agreement

These terms apply when you use Scissor at scissor.studio, including the editor, the manual, Studios and the Google Drive features. Scissor is provided by ("we"); see the imprint. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use Scissor.

The service

Scissor is a free vector and pixel editor. The editor runs in your web browser: your documents are opened, edited and saved on your own device and are never uploaded to our servers. You do not need an account. We may add, change or remove features at any time, and we may stop offering Scissor.

Your work and your rights

Everything you open, draw or create with Scissor stays yours, and we claim no rights to it. It reaches us only if you choose to attach it to a problem report. Apart from that, only what you send through Help > Report a Problem or Suggest a Feature, and the visit counts and error reports described in Your work and your privacy, reach us. You are responsible for having the rights to the images, fonts and files you work with.

Acceptable use

Use Scissor for lawful purposes. Do not use it to infringe copyright or trademarks, to deceive people, or to harm others. Do not try to disrupt the site, overload it, or get around its security.

Google Drive

File > Google Drive is optional. When you use it, Google's terms also apply, and Scissor reaches only the files you open or create with it. Your work and your privacy explains exactly what happens to them.

Studios

In a Studio you work on a file together with other people, and everyone in it receives a copy of the file. Share a Studio only with people you trust with that file, and behave towards them as you would in person. You are responsible for what you share and say in a Studio.

Our site

The site, its design, code and text, and the Scissor name and logo belong to the provider. You may use Scissor for personal and commercial work, but you may not copy, resell or republish the site or its code. The third-party components and fonts Scissor uses remain under their own licences, listed in third-party-licenses.txt.

No warranty

Scissor is free and provided as it is, without warranties of any kind. We work to keep it reliable and available, but we cannot promise that it is free of errors, works in every browser or is always online. Save your own copies of documents that matter: Scissor never holds a copy for you. This does not affect liability under the next section or mandatory law. If you are in Australia, nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law. If you are in the UK, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Liability

Scissor is free. We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Product Liability Act, and where we have given a guarantee. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an essential obligation (one that makes using the service possible and on which you may rely), limited to typical, foreseeable damage. Otherwise, liability is excluded. Please keep your own copies of your work.

Privacy

How we handle the little information we do receive, such as visit counts, error reports and the reports and ideas you send us, is described in Your work and your privacy.

Changes

We may update these terms as Scissor changes. If you keep using Scissor after a change, the new terms apply.

Applicable law

German law applies to these terms. If you use Scissor as a consumer, this choice does not take away the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live.
