Acceptable Use
Cloth, photographed close and flat. No people, no high-stakes decisions, and no talking the service into subjects it has no business in.
Last updated: 2 September 2026
The left column is the policy. The right column says the same thing plainly and is there to be read, not to replace the clause; where the two could be read as differing, the clause on the left governs.
What to upload
A photograph of fabric, taken close enough that individual threads separate, lying flat, with nothing else in frame. That is what the read is designed for and that is what produces a useful result.
A photograph taken from across a room, or of a garment on a hanger, gives the read nothing to measure. It will say so rather than guess.
What must not be uploaded
- Any photograph containing a person, or any part of a person, whether or not they are wearing the garment. The upload gate refuses these.
- Any image you do not have the right to upload.
- Any image of a child, in any context.
- Sexual content, violent content, or content that exists to harass or demean anyone.
- Anything containing personal information belonging to someone else — a document, a screen, a label with a name on it.
- Malicious files, or files crafted to attack the service or anyone using it.
The first of these is the one people are surprised by, so it is worth stating plainly: this service does not want photographs of anyone wearing anything, at any resolution, for any reason. It has nothing to say about them and it will not accept them.
Uses the service must not be put to
- As an input to a decision about medical care, legal rights, credit, insurance, employment, housing, safety, or any judicial or law enforcement matter.
- To present a read as a guarantee about how a specific piece will behave on a specific device — it is not one and it says so.
- To resell access to the service, or to present its output as the product of a different service.
- To scrape, automate or reverse-engineer the service beyond ordinary personal or business use of your own account.
- To do anything unlawful, or to help anyone else to.
What the service will not produce for you
The scope limits in the Terms of Service are not negotiable by request. Asking for advice about how a person looks on camera, about selling, about a platform’s rules, or about which equipment to buy will get a refusal and an explanation rather than an answer.
This is not caution. It is that a tool which drifted into those subjects would be worse at the one it is for, and would be handing out judgements it has no basis for making.
Automated checks
Uploads are checked automatically for the presence of a person before anything else happens, and are rejected at that point if one is detected. A file rejected at the gate is not stored and does not consume any allowance.
Requests are also checked against the scope limits above. A refusal is not a penalty and does not affect your account.
When a limit is crossed
For a first problem we write to you and explain it. For anything serious, or repeated, we suspend the account and tell you why.
For unlawful material we act immediately and, where the law requires it, report it.
If you think a decision was wrong, write to support@roxantique.shop. A person reviews it, and we tell you the outcome.
