1. Nature of Service
KODAENCE IMAGE SCANNER (www.kodaence.co.uk) operates as a visual search and indexing tool. It “scans” the open web to identify and display media files, including .webp images and .mp4 videos. KODAENCE does not host these files; it provides direct links to the source locations where the media is stored.

2. Copyright and Licensing Notice
Results returned by the KODAENCE IMAGE SCANNER may include a mix of:
• Public Domain / Creative Commons — Free to use, often requiring attribution.
• Royalty-Free (RF) — Often requires a one-time license fee for legal use.
• Copyrighted / Rights-Managed — Protected by law and requiring explicit permission from the creator.

3. User Accountability
The user assumes all risk and responsibility for the download, distribution, or public display of any media found via this scanner. It is your sole duty to verify the copyright status and licensing requirements of an image or video before use.

4. No Affiliation
KODAENCE IMAGE SCANNER is not affiliated with the creators of the media found in its search results. We do not grant usage rights, sell licenses, or mediate copyright disputes between users and content owners.

5. Browser Cache / Saved Gallery
This page can keep a lightweight copy of the gallery in your browser using localStorage. The cache stores gallery metadata such as search term, source label, and image URL or inline preview data for the current page origin only. Nothing is uploaded by this cache feature. If you run the file on your desktop, the saved gallery belongs to that local page context; if you upload the tool to a website, the saved gallery belongs to that website origin and may be reused by the browser alongside normal HTTP cache when the remote image server allows it.

6. Limitation of Liability
By using KODAENCE IMAGE SCANNER, you agree that KODAENCE and its operators shall not be held liable for any legal claims, damages, or financial losses resulting from copyright infringement or the misuse of indexed content.
