Terms of service

Who these terms are with

Epoha is operated by ФОП Кравченко Євген Євгенович (Yevhen Kravchenko, sole proprietor), registration and tax number 3475305692, registered at Tovaryska Street 60, Zaporizhzhia, Zaporizhzhia oblast, 69000, Ukraine. In these terms, “we” means that operator and “you” means the person using the service.

These terms are a public offer: by using Epoha you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the service. Contact for any question, including legal notices: hello@epoha.pro.

Epoha is in early access right now

The restoration model is not connected yet. What the site currently shows is a demonstration of how the flow will work: the comparison you see is generated in your own browser, your photo is not uploaded anywhere, and no restoration is performed. We say this on the tool itself, not only here.

No payments are taken during early access. The payment sections below describe how it will work when restoration opens, so that nothing about the commercial terms arrives as a surprise later.

What the service does, and what a restoration actually is

Epoha restores digital copies of photographs using AI: repairing damage, recovering tone and colour, colourising black-and-white images, and improving sharpness and size. Your physical print is never touched — everything happens on a copy.

A restored image is an AI reconstruction, and this matters more than any other sentence in these terms. Damaged and missing areas are rebuilt plausibly from the surviving image. Colour added to a black-and-white photograph is informed inference, not recovered fact. We check restored faces against the original for likeness and will not knowingly hand you a stranger — but a reconstruction remains a reconstruction.

Do not rely on a restored or colourised image as documentary or evidentiary proof of anything: not for genealogical claims, legal proceedings, insurance, identification, or historical assertion. Keep your original scan as the record. We make no warranty of historical, forensic or documentary accuracy, and none should be inferred from a convincing result.

Who may use Epoha

You must be at least 16 years old to use the service, and old enough under the law of your country to enter into this agreement. If you use Epoha on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms for it.

Your photographs stay yours

You keep every right you had in the photographs you upload. We claim no ownership of them, and we acquire no licence to use them for our own purposes. We will not publish your photos, put them in our examples gallery, use them in marketing, or show them to anyone, unless you give us specific, separate permission for a specific image.

You receive the broadest rights we can grant in the restored result: use it privately or commercially, print it, publish it, share it, and modify it further. There is no watermark on a file you have paid for, and no ongoing licence you can lose.

What you promise us when you upload

You confirm that you have the right to upload each photograph you submit — that it is yours, your family’s, or otherwise lawfully in your hands for this purpose — and that restoring it will not infringe anyone else’s rights, including copyright and the rights of the people pictured.

This matters because we cannot see where a photograph came from. Responsibility for what you upload sits with you. If a third party brings a claim against us because of content you uploaded or how you used a result, you agree to cover the reasonable costs and damages we incur, to the extent the claim results from your breach of these terms.

What you must not use Epoha for

You must not use the service to:

• Upload or generate sexual content involving minors, or any content that sexualises a child. There is no context in which this is acceptable, and such use is reported to the competent authorities.
• Create or distribute intimate images of a person without that person’s consent.
• Process photographs you have no lawful right to process, including images obtained without permission.
• Manufacture false documents, forged evidence, or fabricated records intended to deceive an authority, court, employer or insurer.
• Present a reconstruction as an authentic, unaltered photograph in order to mislead — including impersonation and synthetic media passed off as documentary record.
• Harass, stalk, defame or endanger anyone, or identify people biometrically.
• Attack the service: automated scraping, circumventing limits, probing for vulnerabilities, or interfering with other users.

We may refuse, stop or delete any processing that appears to breach these rules, and we may suspend access where breach is repeated or serious. Where we can do so fairly, we will tell you why.

Payment, when payments open

You will see your restored result before paying anything. If you choose to buy it, you pay the price shown, once, for that photograph. There are no subscriptions, no credit packs, and nothing that renews. If you do not pay, you owe nothing and the full-quality file is simply not delivered.

Prices are shown before checkout, in the checkout currency, including any applicable tax. Payment is handled by a third-party payment provider, which will be named before payments open; your card details go to them and never to us. Access to the full-quality download opens once the provider confirms the payment.

Refunds, and your right to change your mind

Because you approve a visible result before buying, the safety net is placed earlier than usual: you never pay for a result you have not seen. If a file you paid for is faulty — corrupted, undelivered, or flawed through our error — tell us and we will redo it at no cost or refund it in full.

If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract. Because the restoration is digital content delivered immediately, you will be asked at checkout to request immediate delivery and to acknowledge that doing so ends that withdrawal right once the download begins. If you would rather keep the right, simply do not confirm delivery at that step. This does not affect your statutory rights if the content turns out to be faulty.

Our guides are information, not conservation advice

The guides on this site describe how photographs age and how people commonly handle them. They are general information written carefully and in good faith — they are not professional conservation advice, and they cannot account for the condition of the specific object in your hands.

Physical handling is at your own risk. Anything involving mould, heat, moisture, adhesives, solvents or fragile originals carries real risk to both the photograph and to you. Where a photograph is valuable, unique or badly damaged, consult a professional conservator rather than following a web page. We accept no liability for damage caused by physical handling undertaken on the basis of our guides.

Availability and changes

Epoha is offered as it is and as it is available. During early access especially, the service may be interrupted, changed, limited or withdrawn without notice, and features described here may arrive later than expected or differently than described.

We may change these terms — for example when payments open or a processing provider is named. The current version always lives at this address with its date, and material changes will be stated plainly rather than slipped in. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the updated terms; if you do not, stop using the service.

Limits of our liability

We provide the service with reasonable skill and care. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data, or loss of an original photograph, print or scan that you did not keep a copy of.

Where we are liable, our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you actually paid us for the restoration the claim concerns. If you paid nothing — which includes the whole of early access — our liability is limited to the minimum the law allows us to limit it to.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded: death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability the applicable law prohibits us from limiting.

Which law applies

These terms are governed by the law of Ukraine, where the operator is established, and the courts of Ukraine have jurisdiction over disputes arising from them.

That does not take away protections you already have. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another country whose law gives you mandatory consumer protections, those protections continue to apply to you and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence where that law allows. Nothing in these terms is intended to deprive you of a right you cannot lawfully be deprived of.

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force.

Contact and effective date

Questions, complaints, legal notices and takedown requests: hello@epoha.pro. Data protection requests: privacy@epoha.pro. How we handle your data is set out in the privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

Last updated: 19 August 2026. These terms apply from the moment this page is published and for as long as you use the service.
