Plain-English summary

Photoroom includes a mandatory individual arbitration agreement and a class action/jury trial waiver (risk_flags-1). There is no guarantee of service availability or data integrity, and any loss of data is at your own risk (risk_flags-2). Refunds are generally not provided for canceled subscriptions (risk_flags-3), and the company can terminate your agreement immediately for perceived violations, with you remaining liable for unpaid fees. For data, the company has perpetual rights to use derived data from your personal information (data_use-1) and a perpetual, irrevocable license to your user content for service provision. They also claim perpetual ownership and broad usage rights over 'Company Data', and your user content may be used for AI training (data_use-4). If you don't cancel your free trial, it will automatically convert to a paid subscription (cancellation_renewal-1), and trial users face automatic annual renewals if not canceled within 7 days.
