1. Scope of Service
Metadata Remover is a free, browser-based utility that removes embedded metadata (including EXIF tags, GPS geolocations, camera serial numbers, standard author properties and some embedded provenance data, subject to format-specific limitations) from supported file formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX).
All operations execute locally via JavaScript and WebAssembly on your own device's computing hardware.

By utilizing this utility, you agree that:
- You hold the legal right, ownership, or authorized license to sanitize and export the files processed through the application.

- You bear sole responsibility for maintaining uncorrupted original backups of your files before conducting metadata removal operations.
3. Free Service with No Account Requirement
Access is provided 100% free of charge without mandatory user registration, subscriptions, or credit card inputs. We reserve the right to improve, modify, or adjust client-side processing algorithms at any time.
4. Disclaimer of Warranties ("As Is")
This service is provided strictly on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory:

- We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free performance across outdated, unsupported, or non-standards-compliant web browsers.

Neither Metadata Remover nor its maintainer Modern X Webs shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from:
- Loss, alteration, or corruption of local file copies in the absence of a verified user backup.
