Legal

Terms

The terms that apply to this website and to the SDK licence.

Effective 13 October 2026.

Terms of Use

These terms are an agreement between you and Distra Labs Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14082553), trading as layermetry. Our registered office is 66 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NA, United Kingdom. Our email address is hello@layermetry.com. In these terms, "we", "us" and "layermetry" mean Distra Labs Limited.

By using our website, our app or our SDK, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use them. If you use them for a company, you confirm that you can bind that company, and "you" includes the company.

Part A. The basics

1. What these terms cover

These terms cover:

  • The website: layermetry.com, including the documentation (/docs) and the blog (/blog).
  • The app: app.layermetry.com, where you manage your account, subscription and licence keys, and use related tools. Plans may include Free, Plus, Pro, Team and Enterprise. We may change the plans and what each one includes.
  • The SDK: the software package @layermetry/media-editor (including any other package name under which we publish the same software), a programmable image and video editor that runs in the browser. It is licensed by subscription with licence keys.
  • AI features: features in the app or the SDK that call AI models of other companies.

Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain how we handle personal data and cookies. If you sign a separate written agreement or order form with us, it applies together with these terms. If the two disagree, the signed document comes first.

2. Business use and consumers

Our services are made mainly for businesses and professionals. If you use them for a company or another organisation, you confirm that you can act for it. If you are an individual who buys from us outside any trade, business, craft or profession, you are a consumer, and Part G also applies to you.

3. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms, for example when we add features or when the law changes. We will put the new version on this page and change the date at the top. If a change affects you in an important way, we will tell you at least 30 days before it takes effect, for example by email or by a notice in the app. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the change takes effect. If you keep using the services after that, you accept the change.

Part B. Using the website

4. Website use

You may use the website for lawful purposes. You must not interfere with it, attack it, or try to get into parts you are not allowed to use. You must not scrape it by automated means in a way that damages it or that we have told you not to do. The website, including its text, design, images and code, belongs to us or our licensors. You may view it and link to it. You may not copy or reuse it beyond that without our written permission.

Information on the website, including the documentation and blog, is general. We try to keep it correct, but we do not promise that it is complete or up to date. Examples are not advice for your situation.

The demo editor on the website is for trying the product. Do not use it for work you need to keep safe or rely on.

5. Third-party links

The website may link to other sites. We do not control them and are not responsible for them.

Part C. Accounts and subscriptions

6. Your account

You must give correct information and keep it up to date. Keep your sign-in details and licence keys secret. You are responsible for what happens under your account, including for the people you invite. Tell us quickly at hello@layermetry.com if you think someone else has used your account or keys. You must be 18 or older, or the age of majority where you live if higher, to open an account.

7. Plans, fees and payment

The fees and limits for each plan are shown in the app or in your order form when you buy. Fees are charged in advance for each billing period. We use a payment provider to take payment and issue invoices. You agree to pay the fees and any taxes that apply. Fees are not refundable once a billing period has started, except where these terms or the law say otherwise.

We may change our prices or plans. We will tell you at least 30 days before a change affects you. A price change applies from the start of your next billing period. If you do not agree, you can cancel before then.

8. Renewal and cancellation

Paid subscriptions renew automatically for another period of the same length, at the then-current price, unless you cancel before the renewal date. We may send you a reminder before an annual renewal.

You can cancel at any time by emailing hello@layermetry.com, or in the app where a cancel option is shown. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you have already paid for. You keep access until then. We do not give a part refund for the rest of a period, unless the law requires it.

If a payment fails, we may try again. We may suspend or end your access if it stays unpaid. We will tell you before we do this, where we can. Unpaid fees remain due.

9. Free plan and free trial keys

The Free plan and free trial licence keys are provided for you to try the product. They have limits, and they end on the date shown. A trial key stops working on that date. We may limit free trials to one per person or organisation. Part H applies to them as well.

10. Suspension and ending

We may suspend or end your access, with notice where possible, if you break these terms, if you misuse the services, if the law requires, or if you have not paid. You may stop using the services at any time. When your account ends, your right to use the app and the SDK ends. Sections that by their nature should continue (for example payment, licence restrictions, liability and governing law) continue after the end.

When your account ends, we may delete your data, as explained in our Privacy Policy. Please download what you need before then.

Part D. The SDK licence

11. What we give you

If you have an active, paid subscription, or a valid free or trial key (section 9), we give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence, for the licence period, to:

  • install the SDK @layermetry/media-editor in the websites and apps that your licence covers;
  • use it to let your own users edit images and videos in those websites and apps;
  • make the copies needed to do this.

Your licence is limited by your plan or order form. These limits can include the domains, the apps or products, the number of developers, the features, and the usage that your plan allows. You may use the SDK only within them. Using the SDK in another product or on another domain needs another licence.

12. Licence keys

A licence key is a code that unlocks the SDK. Treat it as a secret that belongs to you.

A key is valid only while your subscription is active and paid. Your licence ends when your subscription ends. That is at the end of the paid period if you cancel or do not renew (section 8), at once if we suspend or end your access because a payment has not been made (section 8), or when the key reaches its end date. Your licence also ends if we end it under section 10 or section 14. When your licence ends, we may revoke the key or let it lapse. From then on:

  • the SDK may stop working, or may work with fewer features;
  • you must stop using the SDK and remove it from your websites and apps, and delete copies in your control, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing;
  • fees for a billing period that has begun are not refunded, except where the law requires it.

If the SDK cannot reach our servers, it may keep working for a short time. You must not rely on this. Keys may also end earlier than your subscription if you have asked us to revoke them, if you break these terms, or if we have to protect the service.

13. Licence check

The SDK checks its licence key by contacting our servers (at api.layermetry.com). In the check, the SDK sends the licence key, the host name of the page where it runs, and a random code. Our servers also receive the IP address and browser details of the user. We use this to confirm the key and the licence limits, and to keep the SDK secure. Our Privacy Policy explains more. You must tell your own users about this if the law requires it.

14. What you must not do

You must not:

  • copy, modify, translate or create works based on the SDK, except as the licence and the law allow;
  • reverse engineer, decompile or try to find the source code of the SDK, except where the law gives you that right and only to that extent;
  • remove, disable, change or get around the licence check, the key, the usage limits or any watermark or notice;
  • run the SDK after your licence has ended (section 12), whether or not the key still works, or with a key that is not yours;
  • share, sell or let others use your licence key, or publish it anywhere except in the website or app that your licence covers (the key has to be in that code for the SDK to work, but it is only for you);
  • sell, rent, lend, sub-license or distribute the SDK on its own, or use it to build a product that competes with it;
  • use the SDK in a way that breaks the law or these terms.

Doing any of these is a breach of these terms. It may also infringe our rights. We may end your licence at once and ask for compensation.

15. Open-source and third-party parts

The SDK contains software by others that is subject to its own licence. The notices are in the package. When the SDK uses services of other companies, for example fonts, stock images or AI models, their terms may also apply. You are responsible for following them.

16. Ownership

We and our licensors own the SDK and everything in it. You get only the licence rights above. Your own websites, apps, content and data remain yours. We do not own what your users create with the SDK in their browsers.

17. Support and changes

We may update the SDK and its documentation. Older versions may stop being supported. Support depends on your plan. We do not promise that the SDK will be free of errors or work in every browser or setup.

18. Your responsibilities as a business customer

When you put the SDK in your product, you are responsible for your product, for what your users do with it, for their personal data, and for a privacy notice that is correct. If we process personal data for you and you need a data processing agreement, contact us at hello@layermetry.com.

The SDK package also contains a licence file. If that file and this Part D differ, this Part D applies. A signed order form, if you have one, comes before both.

Part E. AI features

19. How the AI features work

We do not run our own AI models. When you use an AI feature, your input is sent to an AI model of another company (an "AI provider") and the answer comes back to you. AI providers that we use or may use include OpenAI, Anthropic and Fal, and may include others. For the current list, contact us at hello@layermetry.com.

The AI provider's own terms and usage rules apply to the content you send to it. This is true even though you reach it through us. We may add, change or remove providers or models at any time.

20. Your content and the outputs

"Input" means what you send to an AI feature. "Output" means what the feature gives back.

  • You keep your rights in your Input.
  • As between you and us, you own the Output, as far as the law allows. We give you whatever rights we have in it. The law on whether AI output can be owned is not settled in every country, so we cannot promise that you will own, or can protect, any Output.
  • Outputs may not be unique. Other people may receive the same or similar output.
  • You give us the right to process your Input and Output as needed to run the feature for you, and to keep the record that we need to run, bill and protect the service.
  • We do not use your Input or Output to train AI models of our own.

21. Outputs can be wrong

AI output can be wrong, incomplete, out of date, biased, offensive, or similar to someone else's work. You must check any Output before you rely on it or publish it. Do not use Output as your only basis for decisions that matter about people, such as hiring, credit, health or legal matters. We give no promise that Output is correct, safe or legal to use.

22. Your responsibilities for Input and Output

You are responsible for your Input and for how you use the Output. You must have the right to submit your Input, including the rights and the consent of any person who appears in it, or whose face, voice or other personal information it contains. You must follow the law, the AI provider's usage rules and Part F. You may not use AI features to make misleading content about real people, or to pretend that machine-made content is human-made where this would mislead.

23. Bring your own key or model

You may connect your own AI provider account, key or model, where a feature allows it. Then you have a contract with that provider, you pay it, and its terms apply. You are responsible for the security of your key and for the cost that comes from using it. We are not responsible for that provider, for its models or for its outage or charges.

24. Availability

AI features depend on other companies and may be slow, limited or unavailable. We may apply usage limits. We may stop offering a feature or a model at any time.

Part F. Acceptable use

25. What you must not do

You must not use the website, the app, the SDK or the AI features to:

  • break the law or the rights of others, including copyright, trade marks, privacy and personality rights;
  • create or share content that is unlawful, abusive, hateful, threatening, sexually exploitative or that involves a child in any sexual way, or that promotes violence or terrorism;
  • create fake or misleading material about real people, or content made to deceive or to defraud;
  • send malware, or interfere with or probe our systems, or attempt to get around our security or limits;
  • send automated requests that harm the service, or use the services to build a competing AI model or editor;
  • send personal data about children, or health data or other sensitive personal data, unless you have a lawful basis and any consent needed;
  • resell or give access to the services in a way these terms do not allow;
  • help anyone else to do these things.

If you break this part, we may remove content, suspend or end your access, and report to the authorities. If we receive a complaint about content in your product, we may ask you to deal with it.

Part G. If you are a consumer

This part applies only if you are an individual who buys from us outside any trade, business, craft or profession. If it applies, it prevails over the rest of these terms where they differ.

  • Your legal rights. Nothing in these terms affects your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other law that cannot be changed by contract. Digital content and digital services must be as described, of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose.
  • Right to cancel. If you buy a paid subscription online, you generally have 14 days from the day the contract is made to cancel without giving a reason. To cancel, email hello@layermetry.com, or use the cancel option in the app where one is shown. If you ask us to start the service during the 14 days, you must pay for the service you have used up to the time you cancel. We refund the rest. If the service has been fully provided before the end of the 14 days and you agreed to that and acknowledged that you would lose your right to cancel, you lose the right.
  • After the 14 days. You can still cancel at any time, as explained in section 8.
  • Our liability. Section 28 does not limit or exclude anything that the law does not let us limit or exclude.
  • Disputes. If you live in the United Kingdom, you may bring a claim in the courts of the part of the UK where you live.

Part H. Trials, pilots, beta and early access

26. Trials, pilots, beta and early access

From time to time we may offer a trial, a pilot, a beta, a preview, an evaluation or early access to a feature, product or plan. These are all "Programmes". The rules below apply to every Programme, whether or not we repeat them when we offer it.

By taking part in a Programme, you agree that:

  • it is provided "as is" and "as available", with no promise of any kind about quality, availability, features, accuracy or fitness for any purpose;
  • we may change, limit, pause or end a Programme, or your access to it, at any time, and a Programme may be removed without a replacement;
  • a Programme is not for use in production, or for anything you cannot afford to lose, unless we have agreed that in writing;
  • you must read these terms and decide for yourself whether the Programme suits you. You are responsible for getting your own legal, tax, privacy, security and other professional advice;
  • we may not have finished testing it. It may contain errors, and data you enter may be lost;
  • your feedback, ideas and suggestions are welcome. You give us a free, worldwide, permanent right to use them without any duty to you, as long as we do not publish your confidential information;
  • we may mark the Programme as confidential. If we do, you must not share it with others;
  • to the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss that arises from a Programme.

If a Programme turns into a paid subscription, the rest of these terms apply from that date.

Part I. General

27. Your content and data

You keep ownership of your content. You give us the rights we need to host, process, copy and show it, only to provide and secure the services for you. Our Privacy Policy explains how we use personal data. You are responsible for your content, and for having the rights and consents you need.

28. Warranties and liability

We provide the website, the app, the SDK and the AI features "as is" and "as available". As far as the law allows, we exclude all promises that the law would otherwise add, including that the services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or fit for your particular purpose. We do not give any promise that is not written in these terms.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our or your liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

As far as the law allows, and for business customers:

  • we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or data, or for any indirect or consequential loss; and
  • our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with these terms or the services in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the services in the 12 months before the event that caused the claim, and (b) £100.

29. Your responsibility to us

You agree to pay us back for loss and costs (including reasonable legal costs) that we suffer because a third party makes a claim against us arising from your content, from your product built with the SDK, from your breach of these terms, or from your breach of the law. This does not apply to consumers.

30. Events beyond our control

We are not responsible for delay or failure that is caused by events outside our reasonable control, including failures of internet, hosting or AI provider services.

31. Free services

We provide free services on the basis of these terms, but we make no promise about them. We may change or end them at any time.

32. Other terms

  • Whole agreement. These terms, and any signed order form, are the whole agreement between you and us about their subject. They replace earlier terms.
  • Transfer. You may not transfer your rights under these terms without our consent. We may transfer ours to a company that takes over our business.
  • If a part does not apply. If a court finds that a part of these terms is not valid, the rest continues.
  • No waiver. If we do not enforce a right at once, we can still enforce it later.
  • Third parties. Nobody else has the right to enforce these terms.
  • Notices. We may send notices to the email address on your account. You can write to us at hello@layermetry.com.
  • Complaints. If you have a complaint about the service, email us. We will reply and try to put it right.

33. Governing law and courts

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes), are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, Part G says where else you may bring a claim.
