Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-11

1. Who we are

Pikkot (collectively "we", "us", "the service") is currently operated as a sole proprietorship by Hsiupen Lin, based in Taiwan, under the trade name "豐禾創研" (Fenghe Innovation Research). Formal Taiwan business registration (商業登記) is planned once monthly service-sales cross the threshold prescribed by the Taiwan Business Registration Act (currently NT$80,000 / month for services). Until then, the operator named above is the legal counterparty for all contracts under these Terms.

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Pikkot sticker-pack production service at pikkot.com and its subdomains.

2. The service

Pikkot uses third-party AI models (Anthropic, Google Vertex, fal.ai, OpenAI) to generate LINE Creators Market sticker packs from a reference image you upload. Output is delivered as a downloadable zip suitable for direct upload to the LINE Creators Market.

3. Your account

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity on your account.

4. Reference images

  • Reference photos must be of you, your pet, your own original characters, or subjects for which you personally hold reuse rights. You may not upload photos of friends, family, public figures, or third parties without their explicit, documented consent — even on a Pro plan.
  • You warrant that you own or have the right to use any reference image you upload, and that the image does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
  • You must not upload images depicting minors as the primary subject, real people without consent, copyrighted characters you don't own, or content that violates our Acceptable Use Policy below.
  • Reference images and generated artwork are stored on Cloudflare R2; free-tier output is auto-deleted after 7 days, paid-tier output is retained while your account is active.

5. Subscription accounts & resale prohibition

Lite and Pro subscriptions are sold for personal and small-business use by the account holder. They are not a wholesale sticker-generation service for unrelated third parties.

  • You may not operate a subscription account as a paid sticker-generation service for third parties — including but not limited to: selling individual sticker packs generated under your subscription quota to customers who are not you, offering "design services" that pass our AI cost basis through to end clients, or sharing subscription credentials with anyone else.
  • You may give a finished sticker pack to a friend or family member as a gift — a single pack at a time, generated from a reference photo whose subject has consented to the artwork being created.
  • Per-month quotas (200 stickers, 10 new characters on Pro; 3 packs on Lite) are designed around honest personal use. Patterns consistent with resale — many distinct reference subjects per month, rapid pack-to-pack subject changes, transactional metadata in pack themes — may trigger account review.
  • Enforcement is investigative, not automatic: we contact suspected violators before any enforcement action. Confirmed violations result in account suspension or termination without refund of the current period.

If you need wholesale or multi-seat access, contact us — we plan a dedicated commercial tier and would rather sell you the right plan than terminate the wrong one.

6. Generated content & licensing

  • Free tier: output is watermarked and licensed for personal preview only. You may not commercially distribute, sell, or upload it to any sticker marketplace.
  • Paid tiers (One-shot, Lite, Pro, Bundle): you receive a non-exclusive, worldwide commercial license to the generated artwork. You may upload the resulting pack to LINE Creators Market under your own creator account.
  • We do not claim ownership of paid-tier output, but we retain the right to use anonymised metadata (theme keywords, stylistic signals) to improve the service.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Pikkot to generate content that:

  • Depicts minors in any sexual context;
  • Sexualises real, identifiable people;
  • Promotes violence, self-harm, terrorism, or hatred against protected classes;
  • Infringes third-party IP (logos, characters, trademarks you don't own);
  • Otherwise violates the acceptable-use policies of our upstream model providers (Anthropic, Google, fal.ai, OpenAI).

We reserve the right to refuse or remove any content that violates this policy and to suspend accounts engaging in repeated violations.

8. Payment & refunds

Paid tiers are billed in advance (One-shot is a single charge; subscriptions renew monthly). Refunds for unused subscription days are not offered, but we honour disputes for clearly defective output or service outages on a case-by-case basis. Contact us at the email below within 14 days of charge.

9. Service availability

We aim for high availability but make no SLA commitments on free or one-shot tiers. We may pause access during maintenance, abuse investigations, or upstream provider outages.

10. Termination

You may delete your account at any time from settings. We may terminate or suspend your access for material breach of these Terms, including violation of the Acceptable Use Policy.

11. Disclaimers

Pikkot is provided "as is". We make no warranty that the generated artwork will satisfy LINE's review process, that the service will be uninterrupted, or that the artwork will be free of artifacts. AI output is non-deterministic; the same prompt may produce different results.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for any claim arising from your use of Pikkot is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or USD 100, whichever is greater.

13. EU consumer 14-day withdrawal (digital products)

If you reside in the European Union, EU consumer law (Directive 2011/83/EU, Article 16(m)) gives you a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital goods unless you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once the digital content has been delivered.

Pikkot generates and delivers your pack within minutes of purchase. By completing checkout you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you waive your 14-day right of withdrawal once the pack download is made available. If checkout completes but we have not yet delivered the pack (e.g. an outage on our side), the waiver does not apply — contact us at hi@pikkot.com for a refund.

14. DMCA / takedown procedure

Pikkot respects intellectual-property rights. If you believe content generated or hosted on Pikkot infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent containing: (a) your physical or electronic signature, (b) identification of the copyrighted work, (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material with enough detail to locate it, (d) your contact information, (e) a statement of good-faith belief, and (f) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are authorised to act.

Designated agent: Hsiupen Lin, 豐禾創研, Taiwan. Email: hi@pikkot.com (subject line "DMCA notice"). We will remove the allegedly infringing material within a reasonable time and notify the uploading user, who may submit a counter-notice.

15. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Taiwan (Republic of China), without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

For users outside the EU and EEA: any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Pikkot will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by a recognised arbitration institution in Taiwan, in English. You waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action.

For users in the EU or EEA: the arbitration clause above does not apply. EU consumers may bring claims in the courts of their habitual residence or, at their option, in Taiwan. The EU Online Dispute Resolution platform is available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

17. Contact

Questions about these Terms: hi@pikkot.com.

These Terms are a starting template. Consult a lawyer before relying on them in production — every jurisdiction has its own quirks (especially around consumer-protection refunds and AI-generated-IP ownership).
