Terms of Service

Version 1.0 · Effective November 9, 2026. Adapted from the Waffo Pancake merchant terms template.

1. Introduction and acceptance

Welcome to GifWrench. GifWrench is operated by Junhao Fu ("we", "us", "our"), an individual / sole trader operating under the laws of the People's Republic of China. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of GifWrench, a set of browser-based tools to compress, resize, crop, reverse, re-time and convert animated GIF files, available at gifwrench.com and its preview addresses (the "Service").

By using the Service or purchasing a plan, you confirm that you (a) are at least 18 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian; (b) have read and agree to these Terms; (c) agree to our Privacy Policy; and (d) are authorized to accept these Terms for yourself or the organization you represent.

Important: if you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

2. Service description

2.1 What we provide. GifWrench provides browser-based GIF editing tools. Unless a page clearly says otherwise, the files you open are processed locally in your web browser and are not uploaded to our servers.

2.2 Nature of the Service. The Service is a digital, intangible product. Paid features are available immediately after confirmed payment. Because delivery is immediate and digital, refunds are limited as described in Section 7 and our Refund Policy.

3. Access and eligibility

3.1 Free tools. You can use the free tools without an account.

3.2 Paid access. Paid access is linked to the account or email address you use at checkout. Keep that email address accurate, keep your login private, and tell us at support@gifwrench.com if you believe someone else is using your access.

3.3 Business purchases. If you buy on behalf of an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind it to these Terms.

4. Plans

We offer a free plan and the paid plans shown on our pricing page:

• Pro Monthly: US$4.99 per month, renews automatically every month until cancelled.
• Pro Lifetime: US$19 one-time payment, no subscription, never renews.

We may change plan features or introduce new plans. Price changes for an existing subscription follow Section 5.1.

5. Billing and payment

Payments are processed by Waffo Pancake, which acts as our Merchant of Record and payment processor. Your card statement may show Waffo Pancake or GifWrench.

5.1 Recurring billing authorization. By subscribing to Pro Monthly you expressly authorize us, through Waffo Pancake, to charge your payment method each month for the subscription fee. This authorization stays in effect until you cancel under Section 6. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. If we change the price of a subscription you already have, we will email you at least 14 days before the new price applies, and you can cancel before then.

5.2 One-time purchases. Pro Lifetime is a single transaction for the amount shown at checkout. It does not renew. "Lifetime" means for as long as we operate the Service.

5.3 Taxes. Prices are in US dollars. Applicable taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) are calculated and collected at checkout by Waffo Pancake where required by law.

6. Cancellation

6.1 How to cancel. You can cancel a subscription at any time from your account's billing page on GifWrench, through the manage-subscription link in your Waffo Pancake order emails where provided, or by emailing support@gifwrench.com from your checkout email with the subject "Cancel subscription". We confirm email cancellations within 2 business days.

6.2 Effect of cancellation. Your subscription stays active until the end of the current billing period, you will not be charged again, and the free plan remains available.

7. Refunds

Our Refund Policy is part of these Terms. In short: paid plans are digital goods; you get a full refund if you ask within 7 days of purchase and have not used any Pro feature. Duplicate charges and billing errors are always refunded, and statutory rights (such as the EU/UK 14-day withdrawal right, where it applies) are preserved. Email support@gifwrench.com with your checkout email and transaction ID. We reply within 2 business days and process approved refunds within 5–10 business days.

8. Billing disputes

If you believe a charge is wrong, contact support@gifwrench.com before disputing it with your bank. We respond within 2 business days and fix confirmed billing errors within 5 business days.

9. Your files and intellectual property

You keep all rights to the files you process and to the results. Because files are processed in your browser, we do not receive, store or use them. You are responsible for having the rights to the content you edit. The Service's software, design and text belong to Junhao Fu or its licensors; open-source components (including gifsicle) remain under their own licenses.

10. Acceptable use

Use the Service only for lawful purposes. Do not use it to create or distribute content that is illegal, defamatory, harassing or fraudulent; that sexualizes minors; deceptive deepfakes of real people; or content that infringes others' intellectual property or privacy. Do not circumvent the Service's security or usage limits, resell paid access without written permission, or break any law or card-network rule.

11. Data, privacy and security

Your use of the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy. Payment card data is processed only by our PCI-DSS certified payment processor, Waffo Pancake, and is never stored on our servers.

12. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

12.1 THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Results depend on your files and browser; keep copies of your originals.

12.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JUNHAO FU SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

13. Term and termination

These Terms apply while you use the Service. We may suspend or end paid access for a material breach, suspected fraud, or when the law requires it. If we end paid access for any other reason, we refund the unused part of a prepaid period. You can stop using the Service at any time and ask us to delete your account and purchase records, subject to records we must keep by law.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. Before starting formal proceedings, please contact support@gifwrench.com so we can try to resolve the issue informally. Nothing here limits mandatory consumer-protection rights where you live.

15. General

We may update these Terms. We will email paying customers about material changes at least 14 days before they take effect and update the date above. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.

16. Contact

One monitored inbox handles support, billing, refunds, cancellations, legal, privacy and security: support@gifwrench.com. Operator: Junhao Fu.
