ASVentor Terms
Effective date: 1 October 2026 · Version 3.2
These Terms govern your use of ASVentor, the media-tools product of the APERTURESyndicate platform operated by APERTURESyndicate OÜ (registry code 17384111, VAT EE102972654), Priisle tee 8, Lasnamäe linnaosa, Tallinn, Harju maakond, 13914, Estonia.
ASVentor is around twenty tools. Most of them work on files you already have: they convert, trim, compress, upscale, clean up and read them.
They supplement, and do not replace, the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy and Copyright & Takedown Policy. As a product-specific document, these Terms sit below the platform-wide ones: they can add detail or impose a stricter rule, but where they appear to conflict with a platform-level document, the platform-level document controls (Section 3 of the Terms of Service).
You accept these Terms by accepting the Terms of Service — creating a APERTURESyndicate account accepts every product document with it. ASVentor also works signed out; using it that way means you accept these Terms too.
We write these documents in good faith and keep them accurate to how the platform actually works. They have not yet been reviewed by qualified Estonian legal counsel.
1. The tools
ASVentor groups roughly twenty tools. They fall into four families:
| Family | Tools |
|---|---|
| Convert and compress | Format conversion for audio, video and images; compression; trimming; audio effects |
| Improve and edit | Upscaling, background removal, object erasing, image expansion, colourisation, restoration |
| Read and extract | OCR, PDF tools, data tools, text tools, colour tools |
| Create | QR codes, the collaborative map maker |
The tool list changes: we add tools, retire tools and rename them. What a tool does is described in the tool itself.
Where your file is processed. Most tools — conversion, compression, trimming, OCR, the PDF, data, text and colour tools and the map maker among them — run entirely in your browser: the file never leaves your computer, and we never receive it. Upscaling, background removal, object erasing, expansion, colourisation and restoration run on our servers. For these image tools, your image is sent to our server and processed in memory without being written to disk; for background removal, object erasing, expansion, colourisation and restoration it is also passed to an external AI provider, which processes it on our behalf (see Data Processing & Sub-processors). We do not keep a library of what you processed, and nothing you upload is shown to anyone else.
AI-assisted tools. Background removal, erasing, expansion, colourisation and restoration produce a generated result. It can be wrong, can invent detail that was not in the original, and is not a faithful reconstruction of anything. Section 7 of the Terms of Service and AI Output & Limitations apply. Do not use these tools to produce material presented as an authentic record — a restored photograph is a new image, not evidence.
The map maker additionally supports live collaboration: a host shares a code, others join, and everyone edits the same map. Collaboration needs an account; the map itself works signed out, with the draft kept in your browser. Everything a participant does is visible to the others. Do not put anything in a shared session you would not show them.
2. Your files and your responsibility
You need the rights to the files you put into ASVentor. By using a tool you confirm that you own the file, hold a licence covering what you are doing, or are otherwise permitted by law to process it that way.
We do not check what your file contains and we do not screen the output. What you make with these tools, and what you then do with it, is yours.
The Acceptable Use Policy applies in full. In particular, do not use these tools to produce sexual imagery of real people without their consent, to fabricate documents or identification, to remove watermarks or credits from someone else's work, or to make anything that would be illegal to make by hand.
3. Limits and plans
Usage is metered with a token allowance that refills over time: a signed-out visitor gets the smallest allowance, a signed-in account a larger one, and the paid ASVentor plan (€3/month or €30/year) a much larger one. Heavier operations cost more than light ones. The current numbers are shown in the product; we deliberately do not restate them here, because they are tuned more often than a legal document should change. For signed-out use, the allowance is tied to your IP address (for IPv6, the network block it belongs to), which we keep with the balance for a few days.
Individual operations have a processing budget and a size ceiling. Very large files may be refused or may not finish.
Paid plans are cancelled the same way as everything else — from your account settings or at https://subscriptions.aperturesyndicate.com. See Refunds & Cancellation.
4. No account required
Most of ASVentor works signed out, with the smaller allowance. Where a tool needs an account, it says so.
The platform minimum age of 13 applies to accounts (Section 4 of the Terms of Service). Signed-out use is not age-gated and ASVentor performs no age check of any kind. We are saying so plainly rather than implying a barrier that does not exist.
5. The downloader has been withdrawn
Until 1 October 2026 ASVentor also had a tool that fetched video and audio from a link you supplied. It has been withdrawn and is no longer available. We kept no copies of what was fetched through it; server logs that may contain a submitted link expire on the schedule in Data Retention.
6. No warranty
ASVentor is provided "as is" and "as available", to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that every tool will be uninterrupted, error-free, or able to handle every file.
This does not affect the mandatory statutory rights of consumers under Estonia and EU law, or the conformity rights in Section 15 of the Terms of Service.
7. Governing law
These Terms, and any dispute about ASVentor, are governed by the law of Estonia, subject to the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence in the EU where that applies. the courts of Tallinn have jurisdiction, without prejudice to any non-waivable right you have to bring proceedings where you live.
The English version is the controlling version; any translation is for convenience.

Version history
- v3.2 — 2026-10-01 — The downloader has been withdrawn: its Sections 5 to 14 are replaced by a note that it is gone and by general no-warranty and governing-law sections for all tools.
- v3.1 — 2026-10-01 — Section 1 now matches where each tool runs: OCR and the map maker run in your browser; upscaling, the five AI-assisted tools and the downloader run on our servers, processing your file in memory; the AI-assisted tools pass it to an external AI provider; upscaling is an ordinary resize, not a generated result; collaborative map editing needs an account. Section 3: signed-out allowances are tied to your IP address for a few days. Downloader: the processing budget is about two and a half minutes, a Spotify link may fall back to the first search result, and error logs may hold the media identifier rather than the full link.
- v3.0 — 2026-08-01 — Widened from the downloader alone to all of ASVentor: the tool families, which tools run in your browser and which run on our servers, that server-side files are deleted after processing, that the AI-assisted tools generate rather than reconstruct, the collaborative map-maker session, limits and plans, and cancellation via https://subscriptions.aperturesyndicate.com. The downloader sections are unchanged in substance and now run from Section 5.
- v2.0 — 2026-08-01 — Corrected the company domain (the previous version
pointed at a
.eewebsite that is not ours) and removed the dead product name "ASAIStudio". Rewritten to match the tool as built: the Spotify path does search third-party services, downloads are assembled in server-side temporary storage rather than streamed through, submitted links can appear in error logs, there is no DRM detection and no source blocklist, no account is required and no age check exists. Source blocking is now stated as a reserved right rather than a current capability. Indemnity limited to business users. - v1.0 — 2026-06-22 — Initial publication.
