The short version

  • Free downloads are 1280px with a corner watermark, after one short page from us. No account needed.
  • Lifetime access is $27 once, with no recurring billing, for as long as the service runs. Checkout is not open yet.
  • Refunds: ask within 30 days of paying for a full refund. Your legal rights as a consumer also apply.
  • Use the backdrops in your images, including paid client work. Do not resell or share the files. The licence has the details.

Who we are

Digital-Backdrops.com is run by BrandPacks Limited (Hong Kong), the company behind TemplatesBooth, "we" or "us". You can reach us through our contact form.

These terms apply whenever you use digital-backdrops.com (the "site"), including the backdrop pages, downloads, accounts, forms and the API. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Using the site

The site offers digital backdrops: image files used as the background behind people you photograph. They are AI-generated original scenes, reviewed by a person, delivered as JPG files. They are not physical products and nothing is shipped.

We describe each scene, its pixel sizes and its use honestly on its page. Please check that page, or the free file, before you rely on a scene for an event.

The backdrop licence

Every file you download, free or paid, is licensed to you under our backdrop licence, which forms part of these terms. In short: you may use the backdrops in your own and your clients' images, prints and event output, as often as you like; you may not resell, share or redistribute the files, build a competing library from them, or claim them as your own. The licence is non-exclusive.

Free downloads

  • Free files are 1280px JPGs with a small Digital-Backdrops.com mark in the bottom-right corner. Do not remove or hide the mark.
  • Before each free download, our own download page shows one short message from TemplatesBooth, our sister site, labelled as an advertisement. You never have to click it, and the download works without it.
  • Please download one file at a time, as a person would. Automated bulk downloading is not allowed.

Lifetime access

Lifetime access will cost $27 (US dollars), paid once through Stripe. Checkout is not open yet; until it is, these terms describe how it will work.

  • What you get: high-resolution, unwatermarked downloads of every published standard backdrop, in landscape, square and portrait, including standard backdrops we publish later. See pricing for what is and is not included.
  • How long: for as long as we operate the service. "Lifetime" means the life of the service, not a promise to host the files forever or to publish new scenes on a schedule. If we ever plan to close the service, we will give account holders reasonable notice on the site, and by email where we can, so they can download what they need.
  • One payment: there is no subscription and no recurring billing. The price shown at checkout is the full amount you pay.
  • Access starts as soon as Stripe confirms the payment to us. If it does not appear, contact us; we will never ask you to pay twice.
  • Personal to your account. Do not share your sign-in or let others download through your account.

Images you finished with files you downloaded stay licensed even if your access ends later.

Refunds

30-day refund. If you are not happy with lifetime access, ask through the contact form within 30 days of paying and we will refund the full $27 to your original payment method. When a purchase is refunded, its high-resolution access ends. We may refuse repeated purchase-and-refund cycles on the same account or card.

Your legal rights. This promise is in addition to any rights the law gives you as a consumer where you live, which we do not limit. For example, if a file is faulty or not as described, you are entitled to a remedy. If you open a payment dispute with your bank, access tied to that payment may be suspended while it is resolved.

Your account

  • Give an email address you can receive mail at, and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
  • One person or one business per account.
  • You can ask us to delete your account at any time, as our privacy policy explains.
  • We may suspend an account that breaks these terms, after telling you why where we reasonably can. If we end your access without good reason, we will refund you.

API use

The public catalogue endpoints of our API may be used to show our backdrops, with their previews and links back to our pages, within the published rate limits. Do not use the API to copy the library into a competing service, to strip watermarks, or to offer our files for download.

Partner keys are issued under a separate written agreement. Keep keys secret and on your servers; you are responsible for calls made with your key. We may limit, suspend or revoke a key that is misused or that puts the service at risk.

Acceptable use

Please use the site fairly. You must not:

  • use the site or files to break the law, or to deceive or harm anyone;
  • scrape or bulk download the site, or try to get high-resolution files without access;
  • try to break, overload or get around the limits or security of the site or the API;
  • send spam, malware or abusive messages through the forms.

We may block access from anyone who breaks these rules.

Our content

The site, its design, code, text, scene descriptions and backdrop files belong to BrandPacks Limited or the people we license them from, to the extent the law gives rights in them. Apart from the licence for downloaded files, these terms give you no rights in them. You are welcome to link to any page.

Changes to the service

We work to keep the site available and the files correct, but the service is provided as it is and as available. We may add, change or retire scenes and features, and we may pause the site for maintenance. Keep your own copies of the files you need for an event. Retiring a scene does not affect images you already made with it.

Liability

Guides on the site are general information, not professional advice. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or event costs, and our total liability to you for all claims is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded by law. If you use the site as a consumer, you keep all the rights the law gives you.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The courts of Hong Kong can deal with any dispute about them, but they are not the only place you can go (their jurisdiction is non-exclusive).

If you use the site as a consumer, for example in the UK, the European Union or the United States, you keep the protection of any rules in the law where you live that cannot be overridden by a contract, and you can bring a claim in your local courts where that law allows it. Before going to court, please tell us what went wrong. Most problems can be fixed with a message.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site changes, for example when checkout opens. We will change the date at the top when we do, and tell account holders about meaningful changes on the site, and by email where we can. A change never takes away lifetime access you have already paid for. If you keep using the site after an update, the new terms apply. Questions? Contact us.
