In this article, you will find the main changes to the
Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy made in the first quarter of 2023.
Web hosting services
ShortPixel now offers
web hosting services, in addition to the image optimization tools we already offer. For this reason, we have updated our Terms and Conditions to cover this service as well.
Fair Usage policy
With the introduction of the
Unlimited plan, we need to somehow prevent the abuse of the system. Therefore, we take this opportunity to introduce a Fair Use policy that applies to all customers: If it is detected that a website is consuming too many resources, we will try to contact the owner of the account to discuss possible solutions. Until these solutions are implemented, the use of ShortPixel Image Optimization Cloud will be restricted.
This policy is intended for extreme cases. So, rest assured that the vast majority of our customers will not be affected by this policy.
You can find all the changes in
section 11.3.
Costs, payments, and refunds
Our previous
Terms of Service did not address several situations that may arise regarding costs, payments, and refunds. In this update, the main changes are:
- Terms of Service for the Unlimited plan.
- Clarification: recurring credits do not carry over to the next month.
- Refund requests must meet certain criteria.

section 8.
